Yes, but the article puts each in quotes, meaning it’s referring to what sources have said as opposed to making the statement itself - I wanted to use similar language as to how these events get reported on in US media when they happen outside of the country.
Problem is so are many of the judges that would theoretically see his case. The theocratic, white ethno-project has been incubating in the United States since the 70s. Democrats are too spineless to attempt to balance the Supreme Court, and all the appointees that have been made to the lower circuits will take time to be felt - time I don’t think the US has before it risks going the way of the Weimar Republic.
The quotation marks are precisely why I changed the headline to something that doesn’t need quotes but is still accurate and won’t open up slander/libel.
This shouldn’t happen in America. And the guy who did it shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the White House," said David Rothkopf, a noted foreign policy, national security and political affairs expert and commentator.
I agree that this shouldn’t be happening, but it is. It’s a clear indication of the GOP wanting to operate as a fascist party, and this needs to be taken seriously. I hope that happens.
DeSantis, who is also running for president, says he is suspending Florida State Attorney Monique Worrell “for neglecting her duty to faithfully prosecute crime in her jurisdiction.”
Meatball Ron has barely stepped foot in Florida since he announced his campaign. Shouldn’t he remove himself for “negelcting his duty”?
There’s a law in Florida that you have to resign as governor if you want to run for president. But the republican state congress changed it just for Desantis. The state republican party is completely crooked.
I wanted to live in florida. I love the weather. It’s been my dream to move there and now that the kids are grown up and I have the means to move there, I don’t want anything to do with that state in its current form. It really sucks.
As a former Disneyland cast member, I’m very interested to see the difference between the resorts. I should do it soon before Florida does even more despicable shit.
I’ve been to WDW, DL, and DLP. I last went to WDW in Dec 2020. It was terrible; the way they changed the fast pass system made it far more difficult to ride the rides. The cast members did not seem to even want to be there, and honestly, the magic wasn’t there. I went to DL a year ago and it was fantastic. The cast members is in the groove, making the experience top tier, the crowds were having fun, and it was full of that Disney magic.
As for Disney Land Paris, skip it (I lived in Europe at the time). Zero magic, it felt like a six flags, no magic.
Same for me. I grew up in Florida and lived there for decades. I haven’t been back since 2018 and I don’t know if I ever will, which is a kind of sad feeling tbh.
The American right-wing doesn’t care about Democracy. It only supports democratic institutions when the demographics benefit them. While it feels out of place, this sort of behaviour is in my view, more in line with American history than you’d think. It took the Supreme Court multiple times to get the states to follow it whenever it ruled in favour of people, rights, and freedom in the 1800s, but whenever it ruled that slaves weren’t people, those rulings were of course respected.
They need to actually have an airtight cause to remove them - plus I am not sure if this is a Florida Governor power or if other governors have similar powers. Midwestern Dems are using their political power though, such as the new Wisconsin Democrat-controlled Supreme Court: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dfKZzOeAJs
It’s also a problem when a group has most of the guns and is stupid enough to use them without thought for the consequences. Moreso when the authorities responsible for enforcing those consequences tend to be in agreement if not allegiance with the group in question.
Huh? What bullshit is that? As an actual leftist veteran I know that most veterans are not left leaning. I also know that the US military does not let you keep any sidearms or rifles with you even while you are in. That stuff gets locked up in the arms room. CIF doesn’t even let you keep your canteens when you ETS, let alone weapons.
Like in Georgia where the secretary of state didn’t recuse themselves from the responsibility of managing the election then ran for governor. Cities get hours long waits and rural areas have no problems. Also sending voting machine to black districts without power cords.
Florida is the capital of the New Confederacy that liters nobody wants. If you just stop giving money to the crooked catholic shitcunt church and the evangelical shitcunt church then we probably wouldn’t have this problem.
The state has 56 white supremacy groups. What do you think goes on down there?
Was there even anything for him to backup removing her other than “for neglecting her duty to faithfully prosecute crime in her jurisdiction”? Sounds pretty fascist to me but that is the Republican dream isn’t it?
The Florida constitution allows a governor to remove an elected official for “malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty, habitual drunkenness, incompetence, or permanent inability to perform official duties.” No previous Florida executive has interpreted that power as broadly as DeSantis. The state Senate can reinstate Worrell, but the chamber is controlled by Republicans closely aligned with DeSantis and have rarely stood in his way.
Warren’s attempts at reinstatement have failed. A federal judge ruled DeSantis had acted unconstitutionally in suspending Warren, writing that there was “not a hint of misconduct by Mr. Warren” in the trial record, but he ultimately dismissed the case saying he did not have the power to intervene on a state matter. The state Supreme Court tossed Warren’s lawsuit in state court earlier this summer.
Monique Worrell was the attorney recently dismissed and Andrew Warren is the one who was dismissed last year.
Things like this always make me wonder if a state could legally turn into a dictatorship.
Could Florida legally change it’s constitution to say “All governing power rests entirely in Ron DeSantis” and dissolve it’s representative bodies? Obviously it would still be beholden to voters for national elections (representatives and senators), but statewide there could be nothing.
Technically, no. The Constitution says “the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,” but “republican” has historically been very loosely interpreted. Technically, China and North Korea are both republics.
Well part of the problem is that there isn’t total agreement on what a republic is. By some definitions it’s basically anything that isn’t a monarchy. Some medieval republics didn’t have elections and instead chose their officials by sortition, which is essentially a lottery. China and North Korea do have elections, but they’re total shams (and North Korea is basically a monarchy is a thin coat of republican paint, since by law they can’t have any leader that isn’t descended from Kim Il Sung).
