Oh, they are PROUD of their ignorance. Smiling, clapping and back-slapping each other while wearing those silly-looking lapel pins. They are the embodiment of cringe. It’s all fake “unity” and stewardship for the cameras.

They’re all benefiting from hate and virtue-signaling going mainstream. Living in Florida is like purgatory with hurricanes.

I’m in Virginia and yes I have finished my probation. I have my rights to vote if I chose to. Guess no new is good news. As far as politicians go seems someone is playing kick the can with those SO people in Florida. It doesn’t make any sense about offenders being deprived of these voting rights. Seems like a sex offender has a lifetime debt of double jeopardy to stigmatize one. How cruel..

Sure if you want to show some respect when respect is due you vote for your candidate, If you don’t vote why gripe about sour grapes. Seems anyone can backslide even government. What bothers me and many on the registry is this lifetime label and the cocky way these that labeling is suppose to protect and serve. Instill evil by government intent on another is very callous.

Seems many governments have blood on their hands when they induce these registry ordeals on another. I will say no more on the matter as Florida is a hard state to understand with their laws.

I thoroughly enjoyed the part, where the politician kept circumnavigating around the other’s questions, about the whole left lane law proposed. He couldn’t give a definitive reason, other than to avoid passing in the right lane. Eventually the questioner’s, just simply went along, and ignored the reasoning. This is the perfect example of the ignorance, that is plaguing this country. The new law won’t prevent anything, and will only allow law enforcement to impose more traffic fines, because that’s all politicians really care about, is more fines and arrests of citizens. 99% of everything they do, has nothing to do with protecting anything or anyone, besides their own agendas.

As I have long said, legislatures and the Congress don’t care about constitutionality of laws. They just want the cred that goes with them when they pass so they can be regurgitated during election season en masse. If they are overturned in the end, they still get good press from it for the effort they gave on it.

They don’t care they will spend monies on defending them even if they are indefensible because the staff is already on the job. Elected officials don’t spend time and effort in court defending the laws on the witness stand as they should. If they had any accountability in the process and ramifications if the laws are found to be unconstitutional, then maybe they would think twice about it during consideration in committee and on the floors of the houses.

Maybe even then, there needs to be legal advisor for those who are for/against and who will advise on the constitutionality and legality of each law proposed. Oh wait, that would be logical and make sense to head them off at the pass of stupidity before it goes too far.

The whole voting scandal makes perfect sense and no one taking responsibility for it is exactly how it’s supposed to be ( if your trying to set people up that you have not found a way to violate and make it look like they are just trying to find ways to break the law and there for need the BS registry and more BS rules to be added. Why else would you need voteing task force Just saying

It feels like this is just where we are as a society. People want to be right so much if anyone thinks different they are labeled as evil, bad, racist, etc. Unless younger people learn to debate or to share ideas and be open minded to others views it will only going to get worse. It’s definitely not a world I want to live in.
