How did we all miss Trump's "I'm gonna' be Hitler" speech?
On July 26th, 2022, Trump gave a speech in which he openly declared his intention to be America's Adolf Hitler. Somehow, the media, and everyone else, missed it.

If Trump actually gets the Republican nomination for president in the next election, this speech should be displayed on every media platform, every single minute of every single day. Here's what can be expected if this miserable piece of dung, somehow, once again, manages to win or steal the presidency.

Here's what his speech included:

The focus of Trump’s speech—when he wasn’t whining about the House select committee on Jan. 6—was on law enforcement. In short, he wants a lot of it. In fact, he wants the U.S. to be more like—wait for it—China. Police on every corner. “Very short trials.” And mass executions. Trump also praised the way crime is handled in the Philippines, where over 12,000 people have been executed for drug-related crimes. And while the police were busy shooting everyone they suspected of selling or using drugs, Trump also insisted they force homeless people to leave the cities for tent-based camps erected in the wilderness.

-- snip --

Trump openly described a nation in which he would be in sole charge of a national police force, police would be exempt from the consequences of their actions, execution would be carried out immediately, following “a very quick trial,” and millions of Americans would be confined in internment camps without ever being charged with a crime.

Florida House moves to eliminate local renters' rights ordinances
TALLAHASSEE — Dozens of cities and counties across Florida have passed bills of “rights” for tenants, setting standards around rent increases, applications and evictions.

State lawmakers are looking to undo all of them.

On Wednesday, the House passed HB 1417 on a vote of 81-33, largely along party lines, and the Senate is preparing to take up its companion, SB 1586, on Friday. The bills would prohibit local governments from governing the relationships between tenants and landlords, like the ones created by Pinellas and Miami-Dade counties last year.

Instead, landlords and renters would have to follow the state’s Florida Landlord and Tenant Act, which is less robust than local ordinances.

FL House votes to allow 18 year olds and above to buy long guns; Current law is 21
The GOP-controlled state House passed a measure Friday night that would reduce the age — 21 down to 18 — for someone to legally purchase rifles, shotguns and other long guns. The measure would repeal what’s on the books related to the shooting massacre at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County five years ago.

The vote was 69-36.

However, the likelihood of the bill becoming law is dubious, because there’s no Senate version.

The measure, HB 1543, was strongly opposed by Democrats, who said that there was no need to change the law, which came with a series of gun safety provisions in 2018 under then-Gov. Rick Scott’s tenure.

At the time, the NRA sued to challenge the 2018 law, saying that it violated the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. A federal judge upheld that law in 2021, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit upheld the law in a ruling issued last month.

North Central Republican Bobby Payne, the bill sponsor in the House on Friday, mentioned many of the provisions that were in the 2018 law, such as millions of dollars for mental health assistance in schools and the so-called Guardian program that allows for the arming of school personnel.

Kids under 13 would be banned from social media under new bipartisan bill. Here's what parents want.
WASHINGTON — Your kids may finally have to put their phone down after a bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation to set age restrictions on social media.

The lawmakers introduced a bill Wednesday that bans children younger than 13 from using social media platforms and requires parental consent for those between the ages of 13 and 17.

The move is among the first major bipartisan effort in Congress to restrict platforms for children and comes after lawmakers have recently pushed to make online platforms safer for children, including efforts to ban TikTok and regulate Instagram.

However, parents told USA TODAY they are skeptical of the legislation and whether it would be effective in addressing the rapidly emerging concerns over minors’ use of social media.

This is fucked. I remember when I was 7 or 8 years old playing on the computer. This is so unfair.

"It's a bloodbath": Fox News loses more than half of audience after axing Tucker Carlson

It's not just Tucker's slot — Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham's ratings are falling too

By Tatyana Tandanpolie
Published April 28, 2023 2:25PM (EDT)

Hundreds of thousands of Fox News viewers have switched off the channel after the network fired top primetime host Tucker Carlson on Monday.

Substitute host Brian Kilmeade garnered 1.33 million audience members during the 8 p.m. Eastern slot on Wednesday, down 56% from the 3.05 million viewers who tuned in to watch Carlson last Wednesday, according to Nielsen ratings flagged by the Associated Press.

The dip in viewership allowed MSNBC's Chris Hayes to overtake Fox in ratings, a popularity contest that Carlson used to dominate.

The conservative host had an average audience of 3.03 million people for all of 2022, making it the second most popular program on cable television after Fox's "The Five."

When approached for comment, Fox sent a statement saying that for 21 years it's been cable news' most-watched network and has a team "trusted more by viewers than any other news source."

The good news is that Fox News is plummeting in the ratings. The bad news is that Fox News is plummeting in the ratings. Whay is that bad news?

If their (former) viewers are still interested in the news, there are other alternative news sources that they will consult. Those alternatives will largely not be Chris Hayes, but rather some source that will be willing to continue to lie to their audience in order to give them something they want to hear. The great lesson will not be "don't lie" but rather "don't lie about somebody that can sue you for libel or slander."

Something like "the election was stolen" as opposed to the "election was stolen and Dominion voting systems were the ones who enabled and/or carried out that theft."
Don't mourn, organize.

AL: Senate committee approves legislation banning teaching of 'divisive concepts'
The Alabama Senate State Governmental Affairs Committee approved a bill Wednesday that would limit the teaching of “divisive concepts” after a public hearing that featured legislators saying that they do not trust one another.

SB 247, sponsored by Sen. Will Barfoot, R-Pike Road, bans the teaching of a number of “divisive concepts,” including teaching that any “race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior” and that people should feel guilt for ancestors’ actions.

Barfoot did not appear at the meeting, but Rep. Ed Oliver, R-Dadeville, who sponsored a House version of the bill, spoke for it.

“What this bill does is it stops any woke ideology that divides people, adults and children alike,” Oliver said.

Proponents of the bill told legislators that they felt “woke ideology” impacted academics. Opponents of the bill told the senators that the bill was vaguely worded and would prevent the accurate teaching of history.
