    I know a guy in the Reedy Creek fire department. He is a hard core Republican. When Desantis took over the board he didn’t think it would be a bad thing.

    I like the guy and have known him for years so it’s sad to see it go this way but you get the government you votes for.

      For so many people in this country that isn’t the case.

      I live in a deep red state. I sure as fuck did not vote that way.

      The country has gotten so bad that I’m not looking into moving States any more. I’m looking at other countries.

        I have been practicing my pronunciation of “Cahnahdah,” trying to get it like Robin from 8 bit show & tell. Except I’m divorced with a kid and new partner who has a kid. I’d have to convince 10 other people to go with me so everyone can still see their kids.
