Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Remember the Martha's Vineyard Story?

 Now we know who "Perla" is: Perla Huerta. She was a former Army Counterintelligence "agent" whatever that means.

The worry, if you're Charlie Crist, is that Ron DeSantis will achieve a normal level of competence after Ian - exactly the sort of normal competency that Trump failed to find during the pandemic. He can use this to win re-election. Of course, he's already started talking about how Floridians can shoot looters if they want. I'm sure George Zimmerman has an erection right now.

Of course, if Crist is smart, any slip ups in Florida's response, should be met with the question: Where's that $12,000,000 you used to ship migrants out of Texas? 

DeSantis has been called the smart, under control Trump. But playing Trump's music requires you to be reckless, vain and violent. There is also some evidence that he's siphoning donations to an organization headed by his wife. Amazing, if true.

Florida is a fucking cesspool, and DeSantis is a perfect representation of the Florida GOP.  But defeating him should be a priority of Democrats.
