Don't Say Blogger In Florida

In 2014, Vladimir Putin signed a law forcing bloggers to register with Russian media office. Right now, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wants to pass a bill that will require bloggers who write about the governor and other state government officials to register with the state, and disclose who's paying them and how much. 

What is it with Republican politicians obsession with having Russian repressive dictatorial laws implemented here in the United States?

It sounds like Ron DeSantis have a crusade against free speech and the press, just like Putin did in Russia. I may be wrong, but I believe it violates First Amendment rights. DeSantis sounds worse than the so called stable genius.

The Red Wave That Wasn't

I frequent a political internet forum, where for the past two years the right wingers, and MAGA Christian extremists folks have been screaming their views at the top of their lungs, and promised a giant "red tsunami".

Republicans made gains, but the "red wave" failed to materialize. Their dreams of a "red wave" fizzled, the giant tsunami failed to emerge. At the political internet forum the coalition of Trumpists, bigots, religious zealots and neo-fascists have gone so quiet, the silence is deafening. Now all I hear is crickets.

I expect them soon to begin the same rhetoric about the 2024 White House race soon.
