I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk of Florida boycotts...

I fail to see how a state that makes much of its income from tourism would benefit from alienating half (35%?) of its customers.

Rhonda is too far out over "their" skis with the fight vs Disney and the education system...

This is gonna be a weird election. I wonder if we’ll see it boil down to two “pick the least worst” options or of we’ll see some Sanders/Perot/etc. third figure arise to split the votes up.
i've heard rumors that the "No Labels" party (in the below article) is being secretly funded with dark money from GOP backers to back a third party candidate in an attempt to sway votes away from Biden (or whoever the Dem nominee winds up being) in '24

Is it my Covid brain fog, or wasn’t there a situation where Dems were funding extreme right candidates so that they’d look more reasonable/attractive to a wider group of voters?

I believe that was reported in congressional contests for the last election in a few places.

i think that may have just been an accusation from the right, i don't recall seeing any evidence
I know that some people were (mostly joking) about donating to Chris Christie's campaign just so that he could meet the debate eligibility requirements and tear into him on stage. Not that it seems likely that Trump will even participate.

Grifters all the way down. It must be an amazing business now that the internet has made marks so easy to find.

Former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani have promoted the coins, while ads for Lear's competitors have appeared on a podcast hosted by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Newsmax broadcasts of former president Donald Trump's political rallies.
