All other problems solved, Ron DeSantis' Florida takes aim at "woke meat": "You need meat, okay? Like, we’re going to have fake meat? That doesn’t work" https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/03/09/desantis-florida-woke-culture-wars-legislature/

For a party about freedom and liberty, I can't remember the last policy they proposed that wasn't a ban on something

That would be the absolute right of gun ownership free of any and all restrictions. I don't think they much believe in the age of majority as a sensible barrier, truth be told.

It's funny.
I watched that clip and I think he just screwed up his message.
I got the impression that he wants women to vote but also wants to have the kind of politicians who really push for change.
As in "I want to be back when women couldnt vote and we fought so women could".
The real problem in this clip is that he doesn't seem to have any clue that Republicans and Democrats completely swapped ideologise in the latter half of the 20th century.

Makes more sense taken in that context I suppose, despite the strangeness of making that statement...Still a POS grifter in my mind.

That guy is a lunatic. Started out basically as an internet troll, and moved into politics once he had a following. I’ll direct you to the first 10 minutes of John Oliver’s show from this past Sunday where he did a deep dive.

RFK Jr reportedly eyeing Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura as running mates

Jets quarterback and ex-Minnesota governor reportedly being considered for Robert Kennedy Jr’s independent presidential run
amp.theguardian.com amp.theguardian.com

Can’t wait to watch our VP take on the bills in week 9 before heading back to Washington for a sit down with China.

No way he does the sit down with China until after he’s finished with his weekly appearance on Pat McAfee’s radio show.

Interesting tactic from RFK Jr. It’s a bold strategy, in 2024, to try and build an entire presidential campaign on being anti-COVID vaxx.
