I never expressed “disdain” For Vance. I did express that I preferred Matt Dolan.
Any one of the Repubs are much more preferable than hypocrite Tim Ryan who was Pro Life.. until he wasn’t, then voted 98.5% of the time for Biden’s nutty agenda.

I believe you said Vance was an idiot. But I guess you'll vote for him anyway. .

Your belief, as all your “beliefs” are, is wrong.

Feels like someone is about to Make Italy Great Again.

I love Italy. I thought it was great the way it was. If I ever get to move to Europe for a year like I want to, Italy is one of the places I've considered moving to.

All the talk about immigrants and what a great threat they are (sort of like Trump and the golden escalator), it turns out we might actually be able to use some of them to ease some of our economic pain:

Increasing immigration into the United States could be a better tool argues Bill Ackman, billionaire hedge fund manager and activist investor. In a series of tweets last week targeting the central bank, Ackman said, "Doesn't it make more sense to moderate wage inflation with increased immigration than by raising rates, destroying demand, putting people out of work, and causing a recession?"

That might be particularly helpful in Florida:

"We have a massive labor shortage in Florida in basically every industry here. It's hard to watch willing workers leave your state with tax dollars," said Jessica Cooper, owner of Sugar Top Farms just outside of Orlando.

Maybe DeSantis should have kept them in Florida and helped that lady, or Trump who gets worker visas for Mar-a-Lago help.

I don't believe FL is losing population or workers.

Just like clock work, the press is taking a perceived weakness of the democrats and trying to turn it into a positive. Shocker! And no, being critical or skeptical of the press is not the same thing as demonizing.

Putin has granted Russian citizenship to Edward Snowden. I just felt that was at least noteworthy.

Florida is probably gaining population. But those 75 year old retirees are not there to work.

That decision seems to line up with Russia's mass conscription. He might not be as excited about this new found citizenship...
