The article is right in its description of such an action as a "nuclear-level escalation". People from all over the country go to Disney World. His chances of winning a Presidential nomination, let alone a general election, let alone not being literally ridden out of town on a rail would be infinitesimal if he actually did something to REALLY harm Disney.

"Do you really think Hunter Biden is "charismatic enough" to be corrupt on his own?" Of course, their whole thing is that Hunter traded on his famous father, Joe's name, so isn't that how he did it then? Why would he have to be "charismatic" to be corrupt?



These people are so zealous to impeach and/or convict the entire Biden family that they don't even stop to think about how they sound and, more importantly, they are ignoring all of the Trump family criminality that has actually already been proven or is in the process of being adjudicated.

has to be done somehow. I think that the public would largely be on Biden's side if he ignores the debt ceiling and the Republicans protest. I don't even really understand why we have a "debt ceiling" anyway. I'm sure that there's some history about it but, assuming we don't plan to voluntarily welsh on our debts, what purpose does it even serve and has its usefulness, whatever it was, ended?

simply "just because". It should be reserved for a real emergency situation if the incumbent is totally incompetent/inappropriate for the job and/or if somebody really have a strong case to make that you can do things better than the incumbent (neither Kennedy nor Williamson are credible candidates) and if neither things apply, you're just creating unnecessary and divisive electoral drama and draining resources that should be spent elsewhere.

At least not long term. I just think they’re largely taking advantage of people’s general ignorance of a very complex issue, something that they are unfortunately very good at. I suspect that when these laws wind up in courts, most of them likely won’t stand bc Republicans will be forced to provide actual evidence and facts, which are not on their side and they won’t be able to actually justify them. As one abortion activist once said, pregnancy is too complicated to regulate. I think the same can be said about gender.

Imagine the horrors of having a LABOR SECRETARY who supports and advocates for working people?!!

Just like with Bush II's Social Security privatization push, they repeatedly assume that most of the country thinks like they do, that if they only care about things if it affects *them* or a friend or family member. They obviously can't fathom that people would actually care about other people, just as a matter of being human, which just further goes to show how they don't actually believe in all of the religious sophistry they're constantly spouting and acting like they embrace.

Total clickbait headline from Newsweek

Spoiler: She’s polling at 10%, folks, and Biden at 73%.

I had a friend on FB misinterpret the poll to claim that she is only 10 points behind Biden.

A proposal in the Florida Legislature to give Gov. Ron DeSantis more power over high school sports is nearly unprecedented. The Tampa Bay Times could find only one state that currently has similar executive authority over its primary prep athletics association: Delaware.

*snip*

Though groups such as the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) and its board of directors are easy to overlook, their policies and procedures help shape students’ high school careers. That means a potential overhaul to Florida’s governing body is worth exploring.
What changes are proposed?
The board would shrink to nine members and be chosen very differently under HB 225 and SB 308. Eight members would be appointed by the governor, with confirmation by the Senate, and the ninth would be the education commissioner.

The proposal comes after the association board chose not to include mandatory questions about students’ menstrual cycles in paperwork given to schools for player participation. It also comes as DeSantis gains or exerts more executive power, from removing and replacing the Hillsborough County state attorney and school board members to controlling Walt Disney World’s government services.

How is this guy going to run for President of the entire country when he is being made responsible for managing everything in just one state?

And by the same token if there are children in more progressive states receiving gender affirming care with few or no restrictions and are plainly and evidently NOT being harmed, then how the hell are they justifying these bans in the first place in other more restrictive states? Gender affirming care in Texas is not uniquely "harmful" in Texas than in, say, Illinois because it's all the same kind of treatments being offered.
