Florida Governor Rick Scott is pushing to open public schools, but his grandchildren aren’t going.

He says parents should have a “choice” between distance learning and brick-and-mortar buildings.

His grandchildren will chose distance learning.

“My daughters are going to be more focused on distance learning right now to make sure their children are safe,” Scott told Varney.

So, he’s saying that brick-and-mortar in-person school is not safe.  So, why would people make the choice to send their children to a place that’s not safe?

Rick has an answer.

“Other parents are going to want to make sure their kids are in the classroom.”

Scott said parents have their own reasons for sending their kids to school, such as free lunches.“

Some [parents] are going to do it because it’s a way for students to get a subsidized meal, things like that,” Scott said.

Excuse me for a minute while I bang my head against the wall.

Florida is at a place where children have to risk their lives to get food. Children have to play Corona-Roulette to sustain life.  That’s where good ole Republican Florida is.

So, public school is only good enough for poor kids? Kids of parents who are out of work? Kids who have sick parents?

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is probably the most anti-mask person on earth.  He’s suing Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms because she wants to require masks in Atlanta.

After all the hullabaloo over him and masks, Trump’s new view on the virus moved Kemp’s soul or somebody took him down to the river and bashed his head on the rocks instead of baptizing him. I don’t know which one but I’m betting on the rock thing.

Kemp put on his preaching clothes, held up a science book he’s never read and had something to say —

He also wants them to wash their hands“several times throughout the day,” and practice social distancing.  Damn, why didn’t we think of that?

I do not think he has a plan for all those people he scared to death about wearing a mask.  Maybe he’ll go out to the cemetery and apologize.

“Trump is morphing DHS into his private little rogue, secret army.”

— Paul Rosenzweig, a senior policy official at the DHS during the George W. Bush administration.

With Trump sending his army into cities with Democratic mayors. I know the chaos he thinks will put him back in the White.  He’s looking for 1968 to happen all over again.  I am sure of it.

I believe there will be attacks against this alien army – triggered by one of Trump’s people with a belly filled with Kool Aid. They will put on a hippie tee-shirt and start a riot.

I am frightened.

Where are all the Republican voices against big government or secret police?  Did they all turn into crickets?

I saw the look of pleasure on Trump’s face when he walked across the street to pose for a picture, injuring people so he could look important in front of the military men he drug with him.

It scared me.

Momma would not mind me posting this because it just goes to show that Florida Republicans were not raised properly.

Ted Yoho accosted AOC on the steps of the capitol.  He was a total jerk.  Following a discussion …

The two then parted ways. Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), began descending toward the House office buildings. A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular.

“Fucking bitch,” he said.

Go on home, Ted, and exilian your clever comment to the church ladies in your district.  Knowing hem, they’ll put it in the Book of Common Prayer.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Prepare yourself.

It’s just too damn bad that ignorance ain’t painful.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

There’s a guy by the name of Larry Householder, seriously, who is the Speaker of the House in Ohio and a pretty powerful damn big deal in the state.

He’s a Republican and you can pretty much tell that by looking.

Well, it turns out that ole Larry is a greedy man, which is Section 2(b) of the Republican oath. Hey, lying hypocrite took up all of Section 1.

Early this morning Larry and some of his friends were arrested by federal officers in a $60 million bribery case.

Also arrested, according to the source: Neil Clark from Grant Street Consultants in Columbus; former Ohio Republican Party chair and consultant Matthew Borges; Juan Cespedes, co-founder of The Oxley Group in Columbus; and Jeffrey Longstreth, adviser to Householder.

The Oxley Group is in the business of lobbying, as is Grant Street Consultants.

The Republican Party in Ohio has just been gutted right here before election time. I’m betting that odds are pretty good that Bob Barr didn’t know about this.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up.
