The Supreme Court ruled last week that the federal government had the power to remove razor wire and other barriers the Texas government erected at the border.
But, DeSantis is sending 1,000 Florida Nation Guard to Texas to to assist with placing razor wire along the southern border.
I'll guess it's out of his legal jurisdiction and I'll guess Florida taxpayers are paying for this.
I think the 'love him' part precedes love of this country.
I don't have to account where he gets his campaign funds from, but as stated in the video, he's required to disclose the source of campaign funds. I think it's due this week.
From recent news, Trump has been warned about using campaign funds to pay for the E. Jean Carroll case.
A big plus is CS is still a FREE website. Subscription is for the enhancements.
I'm a member of another site (with sister sites) and you cannot send messages without paid membership. If a gold member sends a message to a standard member, the standard member cannot reply. There was a time where the standard members couldn't read any messages without paid subscription. If contact information was in your message, it got blocked.
The ONE THING they have (that CS doesn't) are free chat rooms. Surprisingly people there aren't using them.
20 per day isn't bad. A few days of passing messages should be enough to determine if the person is interesting enough to exchange phone numbers or email addresses.
I'm sure it's intended to reduce the amount of spam messages. Take one scammer blasting out as many as the system will allow within minutes of joining.
They are toilets In America, but... often have different names. Some are specific and some are inclusive... as in a room for other reasons. Most bathrooms, include a toilet. If the bath/shower is missing as in toilet and sink, it's referred to as a powder room.
Slang: crapper, out house, shit house, Johnny, commode, restroom.
The first time I heard the word 'loo' was from a woman who was born and raised in England.
Former President Donald Trump's appeal of the $83.3 million verdict in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll is unlikely to succeed, legal experts say.
"Let me ruin the suspense for everyone. Trump doesn't have an appeal," Nashville lawyer Brian Manookian argued Friday. "I know the talking heads on TV who have never tried a case or appealed a jury verdict have to mention it. Here's why it isn't going to fly."
A person must "preserve a reversible error at the trial level" in order to have a case with merit on appeal, Manookian explained, ultimately blaming Trump's lack thereof on his legal team in the case.
"This is why you hire competent counsel. You need someone who actually knows the rules of evidence and procedure," he said. "Alina Habba had no clue what was occurring throughout the trial. She not only failed to preserve any remote grounds for appeal, like a moron, she repeatedly and unintentionally waived them over and over."
"Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, what she was doing over and over was waiving his ability to appeal over those evidentiary issues," Manookian added, discussing Habba saying "no objection" to exhibits as they were entered into evidence. "Because she is a moron who would rather *play* lawyer than do the research to *be* a lawyer."
"Man, imagine getting paid $3.5M and your client ending up with an $83M verdict. Yikes. Not a great return-of-investment in having Habba as your attorney."
If for no other reason of getting your name in the news for having represented him, I think the last round demanded prepayment so the pain wouldn't be so great.
Trump is starting to receive fallout from his comments.
“Anybody that makes a ‘Contribution’ to Birdbrain, from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp. We don’t want them, and will not accept them, because we Put America First, and ALWAYS WILL!”
I had nearly the same event more than 10 years ago. On the Turnpike, late at night, one trooper on the side solid lights (not flashing) so he must have been doing report followup. I was in the outside lane next to him and a car was passing me on the left. No opportunity to move over and no apparent reason to slow down. He chases after me, I pull over and he recited the law. I stated the lights weren't flashing so It didn't appear to be an emergency situation. I got out of there with only a warning.
Coming from a culture that considers (mostly) that talking about one's mental struggles is a taboo, it is hard to admit one's difficulties, seek and ask for help.
I think in America it can be the opposite to share your shortcomings without being a social outcast for doing so... Look at all the wealthy Hollywood movie stars going to their 'shrink' so they can cope with life.
Recent news: Donald Trump defended mocking Nikki Haley’s birth name after the former president dropped the racist dog whistle about his Republican rival last week.
The GOP front-runner referred to Haley on his Truth Social platform as “Nimbra,” a twist of Haley’s first name Nimarata, after previously using “Nimrada.” Haley has gone by her middle name, Nikki, since her childhood.
Trump, in a post to the platform earlier this month, also promoted a birther conspiracy theory that claims Haley is ineligible to be president.
As usual, the comments are accurate and so is the followup story:
Haley was born in South Carolina. She is the daughter of Ajit Singh Randhawa and Raj Kaur Randhawa, who both immigrated to the United States from India. Even though Trump is both a son and grandson of immigrants and has been married to two women who immigrated to the United States, the casual racism behind mocking a name unsurprisingly seemed lost on him.
On Sunday, The Miami Herald, chimed in about DeSantis:
“DeSantis never appeared to want to save the GOP. He was more interested in making it a more ravenous, angrier and intolerant party. That worked for Trump, but didn’t work for the governor with all the charisma of burned toast.”
One reader comment: "Now he's proud to honor the oath to support Trump, who never agreed to that oath. A man with 91 counts against him."

DeSantis is back at it, again...
He should have minded his own state and stay out of national affairs.
