Recovering FL Republican. Previously art and science daily, and now it turns out I'm just an anti-MAGA anti-DeSantis, troll. Known to hose Christian Nationalists with Bible verses. I have a hypocrisy trigger.

This is an excellent piece. chrishedges.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...
The ruling elite sees in Greek organizations and college sports programs the training ground for an amoral class of speculators, bankers and corporatists who pillage the country. The goal is to train people to subsume themselves into the herd, to unquestioningly use technical and vocational skills to serve the system.

Repeated by me: the skinny even before the enhanced visibility (she lives in my town) was that she was the product of the old drug cartels, now evolved into developers that pick politicians, et al. They wanted their own federal judge, and got one. Rubio helped. Big mad she came under scrutiny.

Who believes that Trump will part with any sizable portion of the campaign coffers that he controls? It is a means of control + he never lets go of a farthing, like some old demented dragon. Watch. He won't part with the cash.

Again, these “factories” are data centers. The construction jobs, temporary, and the end employment, a guy with a laptop, a guy with a screwdriver, and a guy with a broom. This also has had the effect to hike the cost of all construction.

“Here! We will boost the market and your IRA while we pull financial chicanery, + give you the added benefit of temporary construction jobs. Don’t pay attention to the fact you will lose your career, default on your mortgage/student loan, and will have to pay the cost to enable your own demise.”

During the campaign, we did some back of the napkin calculations (which I continually posted) and estimated the cost to be in excess of $1T, create an entrenched bureau that will NEVER give up that budget, create a growth industry/major employer, and when we get to 99.9% deportations will turn on us

I wish this were a subtitle in any lede or mention of Scott. As a Floridian, I am still traumatized that he came out of no where, and wrecked our state. He presaged an era in which crime pays, is not a disqualifier for public office, and affords the crook to go on to ever more hinkiness.

In one violent incident on August 1, immigration agents in CPD's 25th District station lot boxed in an ICE observer, ripped her from her car and moved her to one of their SUVs to detain her. We asked for security footage from that morning. It shows ICE agents in full view of local police:
