    The Party of Small Government is a fallacy.

    …… but we realized the double talk starting with Reagan.

    VOTE DESANTIS AND ALL REPUBLICANS OUT OF OFFICE. Today’s GQP must be destroyed before it can rebuilt from the ground up.

      How you can support the complete incompetence of the Jimmy Carter 2 regime is beyond me. From fuel prices, consumer commodities, no control at the Southern Border, to crime in many cities due to the ridiculous defund movement. November can’t come soon enough.

    Let’s call it what it is. Hypocrisy.

    If the Christian baker doesn’t have to make the gay couple’s wedding cake, then the payment processors and fund managers don’t have to do business / invest in the companies they don’t like.

    To make them do so is restricting FREEDOM.

    If you follow the money, it’s probably all about laundering the donations of “dark money” coming in through the processors, either in crypto or from multiple zombie accounts.

    This is all total b.s. on DeSantis’ part. The Florida SBA doesn’t use “political criteria” in its investment decisions to begin with, and his proposed legislation would effectively have no power over who PayPal, nationwide credit-issuing corporations, etc. can or cannot conduct interstate business with. It’s nothing but his now-common dumb talk aimed at attracting votes from people who don’t know the facts. He’s gone from bad to worse, and utterly obnoxious at that.

      Elliot Offen and Joe Corsin two peas in a pod and probably the same person as they say the same thing over and over. Can’t defend the chaos in the Country now by the Jimmy Carter 2 administration so they just post their nonsense over and over.
