    No wonder you didn't want to look at the context and facts of the cases... well, someone else did.

    These tweets provide context for the anecdotes desantis and atw presented as reasons to fore Worrall







    And this article provides the data...state data shows that between 2020 and 2021, the crime rate per 100K residents dropped by nearly 10% in Worrell's district.

    Hillsborough schools cut back on Shakespeare, citing new Florida rules

    I completely agree with the bolded part. The world is absolutely laughing at Florida.

    If she wants to sue, she can. If she is on the right side of the law, she will be reinstated. If not, DeSantis is in the right side of the law.

    That's a very narrow, ignorant, and simplistic view of the law.

    The last time I checked attorneys do not set bail nor do they decide the sentences of those convicted. One would think an attorney would know this. Either @AroundTheWorld is not an attorney, an idiot attorney, thinks we don't know how the justice system works, or is just a ****ing troll.

    In a recent NPR poll, DeSantis is now in third place. Over the last month, he experienced another drop in support, with a decline of 10 points. His numbers went from 24% to 14% in the 538 national polling average for the Republican primary. Perhaps he should consider pivoting to directly challenge Trump, honestly calling him out as a criminal (instead of dishonest attacks with AI generated fake video and audio), and moderating his positions on all issues.

    Everyone, except trump, can change.

    The problem the GOP has with Romeo and Juliet is they were the same age. Now if Juliet was her age, but Romeo was a 40+ year old man, it would be required reading in Florida.

    He needs to stop riding the fence on trump, you won't get the nominee if you don't TAKE it from trump. Doesn't mean you have to stoop to trumps level, but you have to hit him where it hurts................point out the facts that he didn't get much done and then lies about what he did do, go after him like Christi does, he does it very well. I am afraid ron and most of the nominees are too afraid to rile the base up or want a job if trump wins, this is a doomed strategy but that's what they all signed up for when they didn't take him down when they had the chance.

    DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Haley, etc.. are all afraid that they will be called RINO's if they take on Trump. Their strategy appears to hope Trump stumbles and they can step in.

    Problem is...the only possible stumble large enough is that he actually ends up in prison before election day or that he makes a plea deal that involves him not being allowed to run for office again (which he'll never accept). Short of that, these maga cultists are going to stay with ol' trumpybear.

    The thing is, he does go after Trump, but in a very dishonest way, trying to tie Trump to Fauci and the LGBT community. Trump supporters see through those tactics easily. Where Trump is vulnerable is that he is a serial loser and a criminal. All he does is spout nonsense for his ego, without benefiting anyone else. DeSantis has essentially “punched” him in the most awkward way, which ended up completely missing and with his face planted on the floor.
