But cpac events dont supply lodgings!

See, we need a new kind of superspreader event! One that maximizes close proximity and contact! 

Imagine, in addition to the jingoist prattle main attraction, you can have secondary incubator opportunities by leveraging 2 star accomodations!

Its like a cruise that doesnt need port authority to disembark! Think of it!

I just find it hilarious that Bumber is trying to compare Biden to the guy that said for months that Corona wasn't real. Get outta here with that shit.

So Governor DeSantis of Florida has proposed reactivating the Florida State Guard.

[LordBaal]

It's something like the Imperial Guard from Warhammer? If it's he has my vote.

Has Florida gotten that fucked over by the 'rona, or is he planning to use it for something else?

Having a state defense force active isnt exactly unprecedented in the USA at the moment, but DeSantis is obviously planning to use it as some chest-thumping petty tyrant thing, or as a way to give bennies to his buddies like the New York Guard scandals.

Show of strength now, show of force later at election time? It's... Unlikely that they're being rallied for humanitarian purposes.

This reminds me of the open invite for police officers refusing vaccinations to come join Florida's force. Surely there's no relation, and a very good reason that Florida needs its own paramilitary force?

We've been pretty fucked by the rona, but it's hard to tell exactly how bad since deshitis and supporters have been supressing the case numbers in like a third to a half of the counties and the death counts in even more. Public don't fucking know and won't until someone gets around to crunching the excess death numbers and insurance/disability claim spikes, if those numbers can even been collected.

Got nothing to do with the jackboot dog and pony horseshit, though, save maybe the horseshit being a distraction attempt.

Gassp frumple is A Florida Man!

Every state has Florida Man, Florida just has transparent police records that lets reporters pick out the weird & wild stuff.

1. It's a state-level military force separate from the National Guard permitted under 32 U.S. Code § 109 - Maintenance of other troops: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/32/109.
2. The proposal is part of a military budget for Florida https://flgov.com/2021/12/02/governor-ron-desantis-announces-military-budget-proposal-to-guard-floridas-future/. The force is supposed to help with emergencies.

I really wouldn't trust DeSantis with an ROTC brigate.

[LordBaal]

So its more like a PDF... yuks. Will not vote for him again. Being a republican he should have tried to do something better, like some Space Marines or Thunder Warriors for Emperor Trump.

[nenjin]

I would be incredibly nervous about what DeSantis plans to do with that. Like, oh I dunno....state-sanctioned voter suppression and intimidation at polling sites.

And because it's Florida I'm sure it will be highly regulated and well ordered.

[LordBaal]

Yeah, living in a country with more police and military corps deployed than common sense would dictate, all fiercely loyal to the ruling regime, all corrupt to the core, I can tell you, yet another one is not a good thing.

Crumbley's parents have each been charged with 4 counts of manslaughter in connection with the shooting.
