It is amazing how much news coverage DeSantis gets and not one reporter bothers to mention that he barely won in 2018, beating a mannequin filled with scandals (Andrew Gillum, lol) by a whopping 0.4% of the vote. Not one incantation about how he has no mandate and has to appeal to moderates, nothing about how Floridians barely preferred him to a shitty opponent, none of the dozens of tropes about "alienating middle America" they'd trot out if a Democratic governor tried anything 1% as radical as what DeSantis does every day.
DeSantis won his election by 30,000 votes, out of 8.1 million votes cast in a state Donald Trump won twice pretty handily. ...
A terrible week, but at least it was deeply hilarious how Biden sent Harris out like a dunk-tank clown to take flack for not pushing to abolish the filibuster and then changed the policy the next day and said he supported doing away with it. High comedy. ...
How do you even write this without dying of embarrassment, let alone hit "send" ...

Don't aim low with Court-packing. 13 is rookie numbers. Make SCOTUS so big we never have to learn any of their names again or care when one of them dies. Make it so big it has to meet in RFK Stadium. Make it so big the docket has to be flown around the field on a banner behind a biplane. Make it so big nobody will notice if one of the judges is 3 kids stacked in a robe. ...
Ahh, the good old days! ...
