DeSantis ain't a long thinker

[billy.pilgrim]

If only there was something we could do to get millions more people to look up Trevor Noah's joke's about DeSantis. Oh wait . . .

This is funny. Goes on a riff about he wasn't there and wouldn't go there but doesn't defend himself.

DeSantis ain't a long thinker.

I'm sure he accounted for this possibility.

With any luck this will result in yet another one of those pictures of him with an open mouth "what, me worry?" sort of expression. It will probably be right after he kicks the shit out of an old woman jaywalker who way in his way while he was jaywalking.

Many people are on the edge of their seats wondering what his next trick will be. Some people are even on the edge of the ledge of their multi story condo wondering the same thing.

DeSantis may not be a long thinker, but he sure is a stinker.

The long thinker hires only big thinkers!

There's a backstory - isn't there always? - to DeSantis spokesperson Christina Pushaw's stupidity:

This dog is the new face of online homophobia
Whitney Chewston has two gay dads, and now her image is skewering homophobes and transphobes online.

A gay couple’s dachshund named Whitney Chewston is not homophobic, her owners want you to know, despite how she earned her internet fame.

Whitney Chewston memes have been shared online for over a year, and they usually involve a picture of the dog with a homophobic statement on top of it, as if the canine just doesn’t like LGBTQ people....

“She’s not homophobic in real life!” said Logan Hickman, one of Whitney’s owners, said in a March 2022 video. “Her dads are gay. It’s interesting, almost ironic, her voice on Instagram has always been kind of sassy and a little gay, so it’s very ironic that she’s branded as homophobic.”

“But Ben [Campbell] and I were actually talking about it, it’s more satire than it is anything,” he continued. “Through satire and this meme, we’re kind of exposing when people who just aren’t up with the times and people who aren’t very forward toward gay people.”

Hickman said that they didn’t learn about the meme until just a week before he did the video, and the memes had since multiplied. People used several photos of Whitney with various homophobic messages, and most seem like they’re poking fun at homophobia and not just spreading homophobia. Many of them use statements that the people saying them often don’t even know are anti-LGBTQ, like that they’re “not homophobic” but they “just don’t agree with the lifestyle.”

Someone went so far as to make a fake Washington Post story with the title “This dog is the new face of online homophobia” and attributed it to journalist Taylor Lorenz, the reporter who got national attention for her story last month about the anti-LGBTQ activist Chaya Raichik and her “Libs of TikTok” account.

Other versions of the meme show Whitney learning to accept gay people.



Even Lil Nas X has asked to see the meme.



“We are here for it,” Hickman said, adding that since mostly LGBTQ people were creating the memes, he “knew that it was satire.”

It “makes fun of people who are actually homophobic.”

I especially like the confident smile and I expect that it doesn't change much during the stomping proper.

"DeSantis to face trial for suspension of prosecutor who defied abortion ban law
Andrew Warren, a Democrat, sued Florida governor for suspension after saying he would not enforce new 15-week abortion law"

May it be the first of many.

[billy.pilgrim]

oops
ronnie may have missed something, or we have a case being thoughtfully decided based on the intent of the law rather than some twisted right-wing bs.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... n-desantis

"State prosecutors indicted Wood, who is Black,"

"Judge Milton Hirsch dismissed the case on Friday. Wood was charged with two third degree felonies, each punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

The prosecutions, all of which involve people with prior felony convictions, have come under intense scrutiny. Several of those charged have said they did not know they couldn’t vote and were not informed of their ineligibility until after they voted.

Hirsch dismissed the case because he said statewide prosecutors had overstepped their authority in bringing charges against Wood."

The funny part, ron's bestist boys and fellow klansmen at the

"statewide prosecutor’s office, which is handling all 19 cases, didn’t have the authority to handle the case. In Florida, the statewide prosecutor is authorized to handle only cases that involve criminal conduct in two or more of the state’s judicial circuits. But Wood registered and voted in a single place, Miami."

But ron and the right-wingers among us countered, but, but, but his registration went by mail to Tallahassee and people looked at it there, so that's at least 2 counties. Blah, blah

Blah

"Hirsch disagreed, saying “the crime, if there was one, occurred exclusively in Miami.”

For proper context,, don't forget the big cop studded presser from a couple months back, when my governor and likely your next president -
"described it as the “opening salvo” of a new office dedicated to combatting voter fraud, which is rare."
ronnie continues
"That is against the law and now they’re gonna pay the price for it.”

Real Context

The penalty for intentionally voting twice for president if you are white and live in a republican community is - they had to take a class.

Ian has ronnie in a real pickle - does he side with insurance profits, or help those most harmed. The former pads his campaign chest, but the latter votes. Ah hell, go with the money.

"With previous hurricanes, Florida allowed independent contractors, in conjunction with public adjusters, to start restoration and rebuild work immediately to get insured Floridians back into their homes, and the contractors could directly bill the carriers. But now Tallahassee has eliminated this direct insurance billing option in an attempt to reduce litigation.

Therefore, state-licensed contractors no longer can do the work and then bill the carrier directly. As a result, the Ian restoration work simply will not get done until the homeowner either pays cash or waits to be paid by the carrier and only then pay or hire restoration contractors.

In the meantime, homes are in horrible, unsafe conditions, with leaking roofs, missing windows and toxic mold. As a result, many families are living in shelters, with friends or relatives — or even in their cars."

Point of fact - many of these homeowners will take over a year to settle their claim
And
There are hidden damages that won't be accounted for until exposed by the contractor.

If they stick with this, repairs will take years.
