Question: 'What's his position on Covid, politics, the economy, climate change?' Answer: 'He was a great running back.'
Trump-clone DeSantis wants to dissolve Disney Reedy Creek district. Florida legislature votes to dissolve Disney's Reedy Creek government over company's opposition to 'Don't Say Gay' bill excerpt: "The Florida Senate voted to strip Walt Disney World of its independent government during a special session on Wednesday. If signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis, the legislation will end the exemption of land under the control of Disney from Florida land use regulations. The exemption was passed in 1967, creating the Reedy Creek Improvement District that currently contains all of Walt Disney World and the towns of Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake. The area is currently governed by a five-person council made up of Disney executives. Republican legislators are looking to end the arrangement and bring the area under the governance of Osceola and Orange counties as retaliation against the Walt Disney Co.'s unsuccessful attempt to stop Florida from passing laws barring discussion of sexual identity and gender orientation in public schools. Disney's reaction to the law has been the subject of scorn from all sides of the political spectrum, including the lunatic fringe."
Trump rioter Watson pleads guilty. He posted that he smashed windows of the Capitol building and entered. Texas Man Who Said Jan. 6 'Had to Happen' and Was the 'Proudest Day' of His Life Pleads Guilty to Breaching Capitol excerpt: "A Texas man who was seen wearing a shirt with the logo of a right-wing extremist group and carrying a flag inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 has struck a plea deal with prosecutors. Sean David Watson, 50, admitted that he entered the building at around 2:47 p.m., shortly after the initial breach by Donald Trump supporters angry about Joe Biden‘s win in the 2020 presidential election. He spent more than 30 minutes inside the building, chanting and waving a flag, and admitted to filming some of the events on his cell phone and later deleting those videos. Watson pleaded guilty Thursday to parading, demonstrating, or picketing in the Capitol building, a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of $5,000 dollars."
Gableman tracks public employees to determine if they are Democrats excerpt: "MADISON – Assembly Republican attorney Michael Gableman is probing the backgrounds of public employees and contractors working on elections to determine their political leanings, including one who he believes is a Democrat because she lives with her boyfriend, loves snakes, plays video games and has a nose ring. Gableman's tally of how he perceives others' political views was included in a tranche of documents he quietly posted online after getting sued under the state's open records law. Gableman, a former state Supreme Court justice, has been conducting a review of the 2020 election at taxpayer expense for Assembly Republicans since last summer. The latest disclosure about his work prompted one of his fellow Republicans to renew her call for him to shut down his review. "I am so over Michael Gableman. He's not right," said state Sen. Kathy Bernier, a Lake Hallie Republican who leads the Senate Elections Committee."
It's been nearly a year and a half since the 2020 election. Gableman is still at it with his taxpayer-financed 'audit'.
Disney is the state's biggest employer (60,000 jobs) and the nut job DeSantis is using threats, intimidation, and legal bullying to try and enforce their own bigotry. Currently Disney pays for its own power, water, roads and fire protection. Now taxpayers will foot the bill for these services , plus 1.7 million citizens will assume Disney's $1 billion dollar bond debt at the tune of $2,200 each.
Trump's buddy, Putin, is willing to destroy Ukraine physically and culturally to save it from what he says are the Nazis who are destroying it.

Adam Kinzinger of Illinois reacted to the leaked audio that showed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy saying he'd ask Donald Trump's resignation as president after the Capitol riot, saying it showed that Republican leaders thought their voters were "dumb." Kinzinger, who is one of two Republicans serving on the House committee investigating the riot, was addressing the Thursday release of audio in which McCarthy told GOP leaders he held Trump accountable for the riot. In the audio, which was recorded shortly after the insurrection, McCarthy is heard telling colleagues that he planned to ask the then-president to resign. McCarthy now portrays himself as an adamant Trump loyalist. Hours before the release of the audio, he denied planning to ask Trump to resign over the riot."
