I was 14 when taken to see King Lear. The scene I remember half a century later was a character having his eyes gouged our and actor's agonized screams.
Yes, I had highly educated parents. Not everyone does, ABM. Are you opposed to teaching these things in school? So students who did not grow up with educated parents with houseful of books, who go see Shakespeare plays, are just left uneducated about these very uncomfortable aspects of human history and literature?

I posted this in another thread. It's not that I'm not staying in touch. I am.

DeathSantis is proposing a law that would allow parents to sue teachers if they teach about LGBTQ issues in ways parents disapprove. Many disapprove any teaching, beyond "die, sinners".
Florida freedumb.
 
More Florida freedumb. A bill in legislature would impose criminal penalties against any professional sports team if Star Spangled Banner not played before games. Most already do but sometimes a team selects an alternative song. Wearing a piece of cloth over ones face an insurmountable assault on liberty, dictating how private business show patriotism....
 
Yesterday Nazis held a (small) rally in Orlando. They changed racist and anti-Semitic slogans, waved swastikas and "let's go Brandon" banners, and harassed passersby.

DeSantis said nothing. Neither did Marco Rubio.

DeSantis spokesperson questioned whether they were really nazis or just Democrats pretending to be nazis to make Florida look bad. She claimed this happened in Virginia, a claim that has been debunked.

DeSantis also refused to say anything about a terrorist holding a synagogue hostage in Texas because he said it's not a Florida issue.

He is working to ban books on Holocaust and on racism if they make white people uncomfortable, and to ban anything gay. Literally called "can't say gay" bill.

So this is who ABM wants as president?
 
Trot out whatever you'd like. I'll send you a batch of cookies when I get around to it.

By the way, we were at the South Beach Art-Deco District last Saturday. You'd be entirely impressed.

DeSantis claimed that the "jack****s" who demonstrated on the overpass would be held accountable by law enforcement. He also vowed to sign the strongest antisemitism bill in the country.
 
DeathSantis took a quick break from important work of letting Covid rage and preventing white people from being uncomfortable to finally issue a statement on Nazi rallies in Orlando. Most of the statement was devoted to attacking Democrats for being mean to him and Ilhan Omar because.

Having lived in Orlando, I never witnessed a Nazi rally. Maybe back when Walt was building Disneyworld, but this sounds a bit extreme.

Meanwhile, your governor and mayor are sure fighting the good fight!
 
I don't have a mayor. I live in unincorporated area of Alameda County. And California, especially Bay Area, is highly vaccinated and well below national average in Covid deaths. Most if them in unvaccinated Republican counties.
 
Well, good golly, Miss Molly.....

As I have said...Florida's a GREAT place to live and work in freedom! Oh, and the water's warm, too!

Florida reports LOWEST new COVID cases per capita in the nation - despite criticism of Gov. DeSantis for his ban on mask and vaccine mandate

Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis may be vindicated for his refusal to impose pandemic lockdowns, as well as vaccine and mask mandates, after the Sunshine State posted the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths per capita in the nation.

On Friday, the Sunshine State reported 1,393 new cases of COVID-19, roughly six cases per every 100,000 residents. The state also reported just one death in the past week.

By contrast, Michigan leads the nation in daily coronavirus cases per capita - with a 7-day rolling average of 560 per 100,000 residents - despite Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer imposing some of the harshest restrictions in the nation.

Awwww.....jealous? Your data seems a bit weak.

Not jealous at all. Unlike you, I've actually navigated this pandemic pretty well. I mean I'm not the one who got so feverish from covid they bought a timeshare.

My links are both from Florida-based news outlets. I would trust them over a British-based one as it concerns covid in Florida.

Sure, you roll with that. DeSantis had a program....and it's prevailing. Florida is not hurting any...at all.

First you've got to trust a Floridian news media. That's a rather large bump in the road for me.

So you don't believe DeSantis has continually and intentionally underreported covid cases in Florida?

Donald Trump still the chalk for 2024, but Ron DeSantis’ odds continue to improve

The markets are moving in the right direction for the Florida Republican.

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ odds to win the Republican nod for President in 2024 are increasing. But former President Donald Trump remains the odds-on favorite — for now.

That’s according to BoyleSports, which has DeSantis’ odds of winning the next presidential election at 13/2, or a probability of 13.33%. That still puts him behind Trump, who leads contenders with 3/1 odds, or 25%, and Democratic President Joe Biden, whose odds sit at 5/1, about 16.67%.

That’s a move in the right direction for DeSantis, whose odds have improved from last week’s 10/1, or 9.09%. And it makes him more likely to win the presidential election than any candidate in America who hasn’t already held the office.

“Donald Trump is still leading the race for the Republicans according to the betting, but he isn’t as hot a favorite as he once was,” said Lawrence Lyons, a spokesman for BoyleSports. “Ron DeSantis is the name we keep hearing and he’s the candidate trending in the right direction at this stage, so we’ve had no choice but to cut the odds on him being the Republican name on the ticket.”

Asked just about the GOP nomination in 2024, Trump again has better odds than DeSantis. Betters give the ex-President odds of 11/10, or a probability of 47.62% of winning the nod. But DeSantis’ odds improved to 4/1, or a 20% chance. Behind DeSantis are former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley at 9/1, or 10%, and former Vice President Mike Pence at 12/1, or 7.69%. Haley notably signaled last year that she will not run if Trump does, but neither DeSantis nor Pence has made such a pledge.

Lyons attributed the leap in the gambling set partly to a recent poll showing Trump leading DeSantis among Florida Republicans, but by a modest 47% to the sitting Governor’s 40%.

DeSantis has a lead on every Democrat except Biden in the overall chances to be the next President. Vice President Kamala Harris holds 8/1 odds, or an 11.11% probability of winning the next presidential election. But unless Biden chooses not to run for a second term, she isn’t expected to run. Still, her odds remain higher than any Republican except Trump or DeSantis.
 
DeathSantis refused to answer question whether he agreed January 6 was normal political discourse. Coward for President!
