Ron DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president https://apple.news/Ajg1AwBv9Rie0GOtBwPlGGQ "We need to fundamentally re-constitutionalize the government," DeSantis said Wednesday. "We talked about draining the swamp in 2016; that didn’t happen. I think the better analogy is breaking the swamp." It wasn't the first time DeSantis has floated the idea of doing away with the IRS, a frequent target of Republicans. On “The Dana Show" last month, DeSantis called the IRS a "corrupt organization" when radio host Dana Loesch asked him whether he would sign a measure to abolish the agency. “The answer is yes," DeSantis said at the time. "We need something totally different." Asked how he would replace the existing tax structure, DeSantis said he has “supported all of the single-rate proposals," referring to a flat tax. "I would be welcoming to take this tax system, chuck it out the window and do something that’s more favorable to the average folks,” he said. The IRS, which is overseen by the Treasury Department, has cut close to 20% of its staff since 2010. The debt ceiling deal eliminated $1.4 billion in IRS funding and redirected roughly $20 billion of the $80 billion provided to the agency through the Inflation Reduction Act to nondefense funds. In the current fiscal year, the budgets for the Commerce, Energy and Education departments were $109 billion, $160 billion and $194 billion, respectively, according to government spending data.

Trump loves to boast he he the greatest for everyone. DeSantis has put together an attack ad against Trump by compiling a montage of Trump saying no one has done more for gay people, welcoming Chelsea Manning, etc to point out that he himself would never say or do anything for LGBTQ community except hate us.
In Brazil, the Superior Electoral Court bars former president Jair Bolsonaro (pictured) from running for political office until 2030 for abuse of power before the 2022 general election. Can we do something like this with Cheeto face?
FLORIDA NEWS ‘This is a death sentence for me’: Florida Republican women say they will switch parties after DeSantis approves alimony law https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/...-after-desantis-approves-alimony-law-34563230
Yeah. Smart move. The changes in alimony law primarily hurt older middle class white women. The ones who backed him because it was an imposition for their children to wear masks, and because they didn't want children learning anything that makes white people uncomfortable. No doubt they will now turn to strong family man, lifelong devout Christian who treats his wife with respect and unconditionally loves his children. Trump!
