    Full quote to provide context. You lie a lot based on what I’ve read of your posts.Why, when it’s so easily debunked?

    Obama sent in the FBI long before Abbott was Governor of Texas. That’s what Abbott was referencing. When Obama arrested and prosecuted people for buying votes for cocaine.

    Did you even read the article? Even the real quote of what Abbott said is false in your post.


    'It was Barack Obama himself who knew about the dangers of ballot harvesting in the state of Texas,' Abbott said.

    'Because under his administration, he sent his U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Texas as well as the FBI to south Texas to arrest and to prosecute people who were involved in ballot harvesting that were using cocaine to buy votes through the ballot harvesting process in the state of Texas.

    Trevor Noah is the booger on the lip of comedy.

    QVC gets better ratings. I’m surprised they haven’t fired him yet buuuuttt he checks a lot of boxes and is safe.

    Is there anyone left in the GOP who isn't worth a good ol' FBI investigation?

    If we're discussing future GOP presidential candidates, my money is on Tucker Carlson. I can't stand the guy, but he's basically a smarter, younger, more coherent version of Trump, with not as many skeletons. If he runs, I think the Dems can still win, but if it comes down to him and Kamala Harris, it's going to be close.

    Tucker is a not very coherent racist.

    "Ron's regime"...love it.

    https://www.politico.com/states/flo...ive-desantis-wins-for-2022-and-beyond-1379153

    “What we’re seeing is Ron’s regime in action — freedom, fairness, and the balance of power lost this session,” Democratic Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a likely 2022 challenger, said in an interview.

    A Florida Democratic consultant not currently aligned with any potential gubernatorial candidate said the political fuel the Legislature delivered to DeSantis is bad news for Democrats.

    “I don’t know that I see anyone on our side who can beat him,” the consultant said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they did not want to be seen as criticizing Democrats. “Even the culture war-type issues he picked poll well. They are not super unpopular.”

    Freedom? You mean voter suppression. Fairness? Prioritizing getting vaccine to wealthy white communities, and his donors.

    Florida's anti-trans law not only bans transgender girls and women from sports, it literally in so many words allows school authorities to inspect the genitals of girls they "suspect" might be trans. You know, tall or strong or gender nonconforming. Or whatever these untrained people think.

    GOP Gov. DeSantis signs Florida election law while shutting out all media but Fox News

    KEY POINTS
    • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill, SB 90, in a closed-door event that blocked out all reporters and media coverage — except for Fox News.
    • The NAACP promptly filed a federal lawsuit alleging the law violates the U.S. Constitution, the Voting Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
    • Florida is only the latest GOP-led state to push for new voting restrictions.
