How big a lush are you when you show up for a 6 a.m. flight hammered?

Pilot was drunk in the cockpit before 6 a.m. JetBlue flight to Florida, officials say

I think once in my life I was tempted to down some alcohol in the morning. Probably in my party days in my 20's. I resisted the urge and afterward cut way back on my consumption. Never regretted that.

Guessing he was still shitfaced from the previous night.

Could have been.

As I recall, the urge I got was not real strong, just an impulse, a thought. But it helped me understand how some people can fall into the bottomless pit of alcoholism. And what motivated me was I was familiar with some who have fallen in that pit. It's not a good thing.

For someone that claims to want to put you on ignore Useless sure quotes you a lot. A lot of his whining is just whining for the sake of whining.

A one-time "thought" about having a morning drink gave you insight into alcoholism? That's really dumb. Are you drunk right now?

Awww. , Useless. So much for "Ignored". You fail again. Plus, Useless, you've been busted too many times for anyone to believe you're not reading my posts, anyhow. It's just your excuse for cowering. Awww.

You've clearly never been to Mardi Gras or Jazzfest where they serve Orange Blossoms with breakfast/brunch. Or for that matter, you've never met my late mother-in-law who served Mimosas to start off all holidays.

No, I never met your late mother nor have I ever been to Mardi Gras. No further comment.

O Really posted "mother-in-law". Pay attention. Plus, it was a rhetorical statement, anyhow. Comprehend much?

School Superintendent Responds After Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Scolds Students For Wearing Masks
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was filmed earlier scolding high school children for wearing face masks, saying, "this is ridiculous"

... "As always, our students should be valued and celebrated. It is a student and parents' choice to protect their health in a way they feel most appropriate. We are proud of the manner in which our students represented themselves and our school district."

... Last July, DeSantis issued an order barring local school districts from requiring students to wear masks, despite federal recommendations that all students in kindergarten through 12th grade wear face coverings when they return to the classroom in the fall....

‘Morning Joe’ Rips DeSantis for Bullying Kids in Masks: ‘Was That Guy Raised in a Barn?’

... “Good Lord, where was that guy raised? In a barn? I’m serious, was that guy raised in a barn?” Scarborough said to co-panelists Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist. “That’s what we say in the South when somebody’s rude. A guy, Willie, being rude to kids. Seriously, this is – this is a question I ask: Who raised him? … Who would want their child to behave that way toward other children? … You and I, our kids are involved in sports. Our parents saw us when we’re involved in sports. You know, whenever you see coaches going after kids and whenever you see parents going after – it’s just so offensive. And (I) just wonder what is it about this party now, this Donald Trump party, where rudeness becomes a defining characteristic that actually the base looks for?”

During Wednesday’s appearance, DeSantis went from masks to discussing the crisis in Ukraine, pivoting to France and going on to suggest that the French may not have fought back if Russia had invaded their nation. Those comments also had Scarborough reeling.

“This guy went to Yale,” Scarborough said. “And I’m not asking him to know history because he went to Yale. … Maybe he studied basket weaving at Yale. I’m not sure....

The individual elements of this can happen anywhere, but Florida Woman collects them in the same fruit basket:

A Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer ran over 4 people at a Fresh Market, cops say

A Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney has been hit with an emergency suspension from the Florida Bar after, security video and witnesses say she drove her Kia into four people on a sidewalk outside The Fresh Market, according to Stuart police.

Fresh Market, hmmm. Butcher on site?

When officers stopped Beatrice Bijoux, they say she told them she meant to hit the people. She wasn’t trying to drum up business,

but, rather “voices in her head had told her to kill the people,” an arrest report said....

The report says a witness followed the Kia, which carried a Texas license plate. Bijoux didn’t stop for police on the street, instead driving to the Stuart Police Department and parking her car.

“When Bijoux exited the vehicle, she immediately told Sgt. Reddick that the voices in her head had told her to kill the people,” the report said.

After her arrest, the report says Bijoux said she wanted to kill other people, wanted to kill the people she hit, wanted to kill herself and even the 4-year-old niece who lives with her part time.. She claimed she was under a doctor’s care, but hadn’t spoken to her doctor since December. She’d never wanted to hurt other people before, but “could not explain why today was different.”

She asked a police lieutenant what the charges were. When told aggravated battery, the report said, “she immediately said that she cannot believe that she is only being charged with that due to the fact that she wanted to kill those people.”

Be better, cops! Do I have to do everything for you?

[neoplacebo]

Hell, if those people had been carrying protest signs she'd never have been charged and probably been contacted to appear on Fox "News" lineup of night time lunacy.

BLM protest signs. Different story with Q protest signs.

Free? You’re only free to die in this state.

Seriously Florida, how could you possibly downgraded from Jeb?

Love this. So right. Why, indeed, Florida, why?

In all your DeSantis DeSantis DeSantis, don't forget about ol' Matt. He's saving us from FDR's Road to Serfdom.

"On Thursday, the House passed a Democratic-sponsored bill to cap the price of insulin at $35 a month for most Americans, an effort to crack down on price-gouging by drug makers who have raised the price of a lifesaving product used by millions of Americans by almost 500 percent in recent years. Some people now pay more than $1,000 a month for insulin to treat diabetes, even with insurance. Democrats had been seeking a way to rein in drugs prices overall in a broader policy proposal, but it had little chance of passing the Senate. Hoping for bipartisan compromise, they siloed the insulin price control as its own measure. Still, only 12 House Republicans voted in favor of a bill that’s wildly popular with the American public."

"Among those voting “no” was Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the GOP’s leading troll, who has come up with perhaps one of the most offensive justifications for GOP opposition to the popular bill. In his newsletter Friday, Gaetz told his constituents that he opposed the bill because fat people, not Big Pharma, are responsible for driving up the cost of insulin. He suggested that Type 2 diabetes, which is often linked to obesity, could be cured if only people would workout more and lose weight, at which point they wouldn’t need insulin anymore and the drug costs would fall without government intervention."

“'While I empathize with all Americans suffering from disease and will continue to fight Big Pharma, I voted against H.R. 6833,” he wrote. “I will not see a reemergence of FDR price controls and join the Democrats in their attempt to pave the Road to Serfdom.”'

I want these people to get diabetes, suffer greatly, have their feet amputated and then die.

If the world worked like that we would all be liberals.

Umm, the last "price controls" were established by actual Republicans

Excluding drug price controls, the last GOP president to impose across the board price controls, I believe, was Nixon. Was there a GOP president since Nixon that enacted across the board price controls?

No, the last one to impose was indeed Nixon. I suppose I could have said "an actual Republican" (singular) but he didn't do it by himself.

If having a fat head led to DM, Goofy Gaetz would support the bill.

Nixon was sort of an odd bird. Perhaps the most hated president of my life (until Trump came along). But, in retrospect, Nixon did do some good things. Opened up China (sort of), and ended the Vietnam fiasco (sort of). And it all mostly went down the Watergate drain. For some reason my favorite US president was Jimmy Carter. He just seemed to exude goodness. I think he was very much underrated.
