The details that emerged about DePape, the attacker in the Paul Pelosi assault were jarring. He was radicalized by something online called Gamergate. Which apparently served as a gateway drug to Pizzagate and QAnon nuttiness. I found this paragraph from the NYT especially illuminating: Mr. DePape said Gamergate awakened him to the “truth,” and from there he became a supporter of Mr. Trump and a skeptic of the mainstream media. And he came to believe in a vast conspiracy theory that liberal elites were promoting pedophilia and spreading lies about Mr. Trump.
10 months for assaulting a police officer & using a metal baton to smash out a window in the Rotunda?! I remember when assaulting a police officer could get you a pretty hefty jail sentence that was measured in years. So much for law & order.
I can't help thinking Tuberville's attack on our military by freezing all those appointments is exactly like what Johnson and the Republicans are doing right now by freezing all House business. The parallel timing of these events is sinister, as it paralyzes our Democratic institutions could fight back against another assault by the seditionist QAnon crazies. These actions leave America exposed. They benefit Wanna-Be traitors and Trump. I highly doubt that is a coincidence. Just too on the nose, these days. Holding my breath and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

From the “Muse of History” can I assume you are saying nothing has changed in Florida since 1818?

Thanks Jamie.
Love where Santos puts the blame for announcing he's not running again. Dude, you embezzled campaign donations but go ahead, call out the press.
Even with Santos' actions, I'd almost rather they kick Tuberville out.
I miss living in Florida. The mix of cultures. The food, OMG, the food. The variety of birds. The beaches.
