I assume they’re trying to take this off the ballot because they know it’s going to increase turnout for the Dems. The majority of Floridians are not down with the abortion ban.

That guy is an ecological disaster in control of a fuckload of land. I hope he dies and Floridians get a clue to make better choices.

What’s going on with PBCs!? Over on the other side of the slab the younger generation loves the game and the older set hate the noise.

That only makes sense if the “older generation” is the silent/greatest generation because 95% of people I see playing pickle ball are baby boomers.

Somebody leaked his plans to put up hotels and pickle ball courts, etc. in state parks and people took that personally, especially because they were no-bid contracts. Basically everyone told DeSantis to fuck off with this plan, which he tried to distance himself from while simultaneously firing the whistleblower.

They can’t take it off the ballot, as it had way, way more than the required signatures, but they can intimidate every person who signed it into not voting by sending cops to their home.

Actually, this can be good for the Republicans. The pro-life crowd is a minority, but also the biggest, most reliable single-issue voting block.

Having it as a ballot initiative lets pro-choice Republicans vote to end the ban while the GOP still panders to the pro-life voters.

It’s pretty cool when your governor can send people to come get you. Come on, Ronnie. Let’s have some pudding, you little bitch. You’re out of power in 2027. Let’s dance.

The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it’s unbelievable (along with Abbott’s fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they’re rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).

That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.

That depends on the state. States with fire problems, such as California, have extra restrictions. And since it’s not a firearm, ironically, the Constitution can’t protect it.

Im just talking federal here, if ya want an actual fire arm just get a black powder one. Owning a modern artillery piece may be illegal but owning one thats from the ante bellum period loaded with grapeshot is what the founders damned well intended.
