This is the same woman DeSantis fired for refusing to fudge COVID numbers this summer, when he ordered all the state coroners to stop reporting COVID deaths. She’s since continued her work collecting counts on her own from all the same sources and running the FloridaCOVIDaction.com site so that we can actually track cases here, not just see the numbers DeSantis wants us to see. This weekend we topped 10k new cases a day. AGAIN.
The Sun Sentinel newspaper in Broward County (Fort Lauderdale) ran a huge exposé on DeSantis and his mishandling (south Florida has been hit the worst throughout all of this, and hit first—all those tourist cruises? They come & go from Miami & Fort Lauderdale) and how deeply his cronyism for Trump and the GOP have fucked over Florida. No shutdowns, local restrictions overruled by the governor, constant yes-man repetition of Trump’s bullshit.
And then this happens Monday.
Tell me again how we’re not living in a fascist police state?

It’s not hard to see how the misadventures of Hungarian politician Jozsef Szajer made headlines across the continent this week.
There are of course the public health implications of a public figure attending a gathering of 25 guests at a party that was a clear breach of Belgium’s strict lockdown rules.
There is the hypocrisy issue: how could a man who drafted the Hungarian constitutional prohibition on gay marriage find himself in a room full of naked men at an event described in Flemish newspaper headlines as a “seksfeest” (sex party)?
And undeniably there is the Benny Hill element to the arrest of a senior member of the European Parliament as he attempted to flee the scene by climbing down a drainpipe and running away.
Mr Szajer, a founder member of the authoritarian, ultra-conservative Fidesz movement, said his “mis-step” was purely personal and it shouldn’t be seen as a reflection on his homeland or political community.
There was little chance of anyone heeding that.
Fidesz is a party that troubles Hungary’s more liberal European partners with its history of seeking to silence critical voices in the media, extend its control over the judiciary and limit gay rights in the field of marriage and adoption.
Mr Szajer himself drafted the Hungarian constitution which defines marriage as a heterosexual act.
He resigned as an MEP before the details of the case leaked out but once they were in the public domain it was easy to see why he’d immediately known that his political career was over. …
Our Dave in London hipped me to this Hungarian hypocritical arsehole
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
