Florida is the place where the further north you are, the more "south" it feels....

Sadly true. North Florida is truly a shithole. Not that there aren't big stretches of redneck people in the central part of the state. Florida is a weird mix of georgia and new york having a baby. Although in recent years the "southern" trumpist parts of the state has been in slow accession. I use to take a small bit of pride that Florida was "better" than the rest of the South when I was younger but that isn't really the case anymore.

It's actually All Lawyers Are Bastards.

The OLC episode basically explains that the Office of Legal Counsel has no authority to set legal precedent in the same way as judges, but the executive branch likes to act like they do, because the people hired for the OLC have strong incentives to always find legal justification for the current administration.

She endorsed Tlaib too. Also apparently cut a five figure check to Omar's campaign.

The leader of the House Dems endorsing a couple incumbent members of her caucus is one of the less surprising developments in American politics recently IMO.

There is a heavy police presence on the streets following reports of people breaking into businesses and setting vehicles on fire.

In fact, federal customs officers have seized 1,513 shipments from overseas containing fraudulent documents—19,888 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses—just at Chicago O'Hare International Airport this year through the end of June.

Most of the shipments came from Hong Kong and mainland China, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Other shipments came from South Korea and the U.K.

So let me get this straight. We are to believe that people are shipping in fake licenses that are usually made in person and on the spot?

WASHINGTON — Rep. Karen Bass, who is on the shortlist of Joe Biden running mates, was a keynote speaker at two socialist events in Los Angeles in the 1980s and ’90s, The Post can reveal.

The revelation comes as the powerful chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus faces increased scrutiny over controversial past remarks praising Communist leaders and for her links to the Cuban regime.

In a recent NBC News interview, the five-term congresswoman and veep hopeful denied she was a Communist and pledged her allegiance to the Democratic Party — but unearthed newspaper clips show the California lawmaker has a long history of speaking at socialist events.

Bass was a featured speaker at the 1993 West Coast Socialist Scholars Conference at the University of California, where the theme was “socialism and empowerment,” according to an article about the event.

Sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America, the annual Socialist Scholars Conference ran from 1983 until 2004, when it was rebranded as the Left Forum.

Bass was also a speaker at a 1988 forum sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America on the city’s scourge of gang violence.

Described as a “community activist” and “organizer,” the congresswoman was slated to offer “an alternative analysis to the ‘siege’ mentality of the LAPD and media,” an ad read.

A spokesperson for Bass did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.

Quote from: https://floridianpress.com/2020/08/roger-stone-and-matt-gaetz-endorse-laura-loomer-for-congress/

With the August 18th primary election in Florida less than two weeks away, Republican congressional candidate Laura Loomer has scored the endorsements of veteran political consultant and former advisor to President Donald Trump, Roger Stone, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R).

The show of support for Loomer came during the annual Palm Beach Republican Party’s “Lobsterfest” fundraising gala held at the Trump International Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida.

In true Stone form, the former Trump adviser used choice words to describe his feelings for Loomer and her candidacy in Florida’s 21st District against Democrat Rep. Lois Frankel.

Stone says he has reviewed the recent internal pollings of the race, concluding that Loomer “can win that seat.”

“She has bigger balls than most of the men,” stated Stone” You need her in Washington fighting for you. We need her in Washington to join the band of rebels because she is courageous. She is knowledgable. She is fearless.”

Rep. Gaetz, who is arguably the closest ally to President Trump in the U.S. Congress stated:

“And when we find folks who they try to disappear or silence because they chose to speak out, we need to have their back! And that’s why I’m proud to endorse Laura Loomer for Congress.
