Pretty weak comparison, inasmuch as I was talking about DeShameless' attitude.

Maybe Biden's comparison of his small kitchen fire to the Maui tragedy was stretching it a bit, but at least he was expressing compassion and empathy.

DeShameless has never expressed empathy for anything or anyone that I can recall.

Losing a historic, century old tree certainly does not rise to the same level of tragedy as losing lives, but a decent human being would have treated it with more than the obnoxious shoulder shrug and brush off as an opportunity for his spoiled, privileged kids to play ball.   

Biden only started comparing it to his small kitchen fire after the first week after the fire, all he would say is "No comment" and not even condolences for the loss that the people devastated by the worst fire in modern American history. That event was the very definition of a lack of empathy.

DeSantis's remark was surrounded by a ton of empathy and concern for those affected by the hurricane that just hit this state and did the very damage you're talking about. He had empathy for all of the HUMANS that experienced huge losses as a result of the hurricane. Along with empathy for the recent tragedy in Jax, that he got attacked for having empathy (to the point where a democrat Jax commissioner stood up for him).

Honestly, how much empathy would you have for a tree that fell on YOUR house? You guys are really living in a world. He showed some humility and recognition that he can withstand a minor tragedy in his life given the great success he has had. Yeah, this happening to him is no big deal, unlike Biden who would go up to a homeless person and tell them he knows just what its like to be homeless because he's the poorest person in the senate, and keep lying about that, because it was never true.

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Same old right-wing Trumper hyperbolic, whataboutism nonsense. 

Sure old Joe is a clumsy speaker sometimes and is prone to making verbal gaffes. But as a human being, he is 1,000 times the honorable man that bitter little Mussolini of a toad DeShameless could ever hope to be. 

And Trump.... I'm not even sure he is human. 

I do know one thing, your crowd on the right is so embarrassed by having associated yourselves with that traitorous criminal slimeball, the only trick you all have got left in your weaselly little trick bag, is to try to draw obviously false parallels and equate mostly innocuous things said and done by others to the gutter level of filth that comes out of the likes of DeShameless and Dumpster Donnie.  

Pathetic.

Biden is the biggest liar to ever walk the face of DC.  He was passed up time and again until Obama needed an old white guy to legitimize his ticket in 08.  Then they dug his corrupt a55again to have a yes man in ‘20.

The Democratic Party is run by Leftists.  And its constituents are in denial. Black voters have woken up to their hypocrisy.  

Attack the policy?  What, you can’t?  Oh, so fall back on attacking character.  Socialism 101.  If you use that playbook, then that’s what you are.  If you aren’t but support those that are, then you are a Socialist too.

The only thing I’m embarrassed about is my embarrassment for the human race when I see people that are so easily led.  Keep defending the MSM and corrupt DOJ that has resorted to political persecution against an opponent they know they’ll lose to.

I'm not going to come right out and say what you are full of, but we both know it.

Trump told over 30,000 documented and fact checked lies, misstatements of fact and exaggerations in the four nightmare years he stunk up the US Presidency.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-election-2020/trump-lies-false-presidency-b1790285.html

https://thehill.com/homenews/media/535081-wapost-counts-30573-false-or-misleading-claims-in-four-years-by-trump/

So I also don't need to come out and say what you can do with your BS about Biden. 

Trump's policies? 

He loaded the SCOTUS with right-wing ideologues who lied under oath to America about regarding Roe v Wade as precedent just so they could get confirmed then overturn it.

He raped environmental regulations and rolled back gains made in combatting climate change which created a boon for the fossil fuel industry.

He diverted billions of dollars in military funds to pay for an unfinished wall on the southern border that he had vowed during his campaign to have Mexico pay for, which of course they didn't. 

His trade policies sparked a tit-for-tat tariff war with China that left American companies and consumers paying sharply higher duties on about $370 billion in annual Chinese imports, while U.S. farmers and other exporters watched sales to China crumble. 

He slashed the corporate tax rate companies pay in the United States from 35% to 21%, cut minimum, estate and gift taxes for the very wealthy and eliminated some deductions for homeowners even in high-tax states. 

He upended some basic tenets of America’s post-WWII foreign policy by questioning the NATO alliance, alienating European allies and indulging autocrats. 

All stuff that right-wingers either support or don't care about as long as he mouths the same xenophobic paranoia that they subscribe to.

And if you don't think character matters in elected leaders, something Trump has none of, then you have none either. 

Keep attacking the media because they tell the truth about your criminal traitor hero.

Nobody takes you seriously, but if it makes you feel better, knock yourself out.

give everyone a break.  Factcheck.com

get that from your leftist pamphlet?  "Oh, here's what you say when a Trump person says X."

Didn't Biden get excommunicated by the media and entire party when he lied about his background in the '88 primaries?   Um, yes.  How about the plagiarism of his speeches?  We'll get to the former later...

Everything else you wrote above is a bunch of bologna.  You have no idea what is really going on with the farmers.  So you can take your bullet points to the few remaining Twitter X leftists and spew it to them.

Do you even know anything about NATO?  No, you don't.

What in the world is going on in the commissioner race?  Does Katie Koch just not want to put effort into her campaign?  There's no explanation as to how she intends to do what she's doing on her website, and if I wanted to ask her directly, I have to go to a happy hour at Burton's?!?!?  I feel like Patty is a vulnerable candidate when you're up against candidates that actually want to try.   Also is anyone running other than Dyer for mayor?

In what has become typical right-wing hothead, reactionary goofball fashion, a Florida State Representative named Joel Rudman has filed a bill with the state legislature, that would bar owners of entertainment venues from cancelling performance contracts signed with acts who make public/social media comments or take political stances that they and other civilized people find objectionable.

Quote

 

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — A bill recently filed in the Florida legislature would bar certain entertainment venues from cancelling shows due to a performer’s political affiliation or social media activity.

Florida Rep. Joel Rudman (R-Navarre) filed the “Right to Rock Act” on Wednesday.

An entertainment venue, whether an indoor event venue or an outdoor event venue, that accepts state funding and enters into a contract with a person engaged in a live presentation or performance by a single performer or multiple performers, including musicians, comedians, dancers, and actors, whether or not such person or persons are compensated for the presentation or performance, may not cancel or terminate an executed contract with such person for any reason related to the person’s use of social media or political affiliation.

The bill would likely benefit Rudman’s musical ambitions. The Panhandle Republican plays in a classic rock cover band whose recent “God, Guns and Less Government” tour was reportedly on the receiving end of online trolling.

In a Facebook post earlier this month, Rudman tagged the Santa Rosa County Democrats and claimed “woke mob liberals” spammed his Eventbrite page with fake names and email addresses in an attempt to “cancel” him.

“Dude we didn’t even know about your tour until we saw this post. If you’re experiencing Eventbrite issues it has nothing to do with us,” Santa Rosa County Democrats wrote in response. “You’re not that important. Our job is to expose what little you do for our county, we could care less about your guitar career.”

Rudman filed HB-15 two weeks later. The 2024 Florida legislative session begins in January.

well, these venues are trying to infringe on others' freedom of speech.

Look, Terrible Ted is a Classic rock stalwart.  Between Zeppelin, Bad Company, Foghat, Lynrd Skynyrd, Petty, Springsteen, Foreigner, Journey, and company, Nugent is part of that musical category.  I've had two good friends tell me how much they hate Nugent- mainly because of their butt-hurt politics.  

It's a simple equation:  if you are a rocker, they expect you to be an anti-establishment leftist.  If you aren't, they cancel you.

The only people finding anything objectionable are Leftists.  If you say that you hunt and/or are pro Second Amendment, that is hate speech and you are a domestic terrorist.

Here's the ultimate protection that The Left doesn't want to afford:  they don't want you to decide NOT to attend said concert; rather, they just want to cancel the show so you don't have to be tempted to go or have the choice to go...and maybe learn something.  They want to control the narrative, so they cancel the opposition.  

If you are for doing that, then you are a Leftist.

Think about it, you are compelling companies what musical acts they should bring in or not bring it. Political views are not a protected class, thankfully. No one should be forced to business with anyone else.

Besides, the legislature won't sign off and if they did, it would be enjoined immediately by the courts.

Just the usual hypocrisy out of the right-wing Little Mussolini DeSantis crowd.

They go around harping about preserving Constitutional freedoms, but they're 100% in favor of the state punishing Disney for exercising their 1st Amendment freedom, i.e. speaking out publicly against laws they disagree with, and barring small, privately owned venues from exercising their freedom of association, i.e. canceling performances by right-wing goobers for making ugly social media comments that the owners of said venue don't want to be associated with. 

Basically, the Little Mussolini crowd want laws passed that force corporations to promote conservative ideas even if they are against them, while punishing them for promoting liberal ideas.

Welcome to TrumPutin's America.

no you're not; rather, you are preventing a musical act from being discriminated against AFTER they signed a contract to perform, by a venue bending to political pressure, hiding behind the fact that they are not a government actor yet are in fact influenced by political pressure. 

And if I was the artist, I would sue for breach of contract and the damages would be lost revenue for the number of tickets sold, per show date, merchandise as well, and injury to reputation for being unfairly "blackballed" if a trend begins with other venues following suit (and any and all other remedies available).

Dude doesn't need to enact legislation; the venue would be held liable in contract for breach of it.

Leftists and butt-hurts can't have it both ways.  you can't hijack society with Marxist Political Correctness to do your bidding without repercussions.

As for Disney, the State did what Disney's main competitor wanted, and Disney abused the mandate of RCID and special districts in Florida since its inception.  I already posted two analysis videos from Universal's former land use attorney who laid it out plain as day after Universal created their own special district for Epic Universe and The Sunshine Corridor.

I haven't seen anybody in favor of the state punishing Disney for exercising their first amendment rights, on either side. The left believes because Disney is pushing their message, they should not have to comply with Florida's building code and other laws in the state of Florida, that Universal and every other corporation in the state of Florida has to follow. The right is just saying Disney, we want you to follow the exact same rules as Universal, just pay your fair share, pay the same exact taxes that everyone else in this state pays.

 

And again, on this venue issue, your side is again distributing misinformation. While its obvious nobody here has bothered to pull up the actual text of the bill, I went ahead and did that, and of course, the whole argument is based off of a lie:

The bill is only banning TAXPAYER FUNDED VENUES from banning speech they disagree with. If you accept tax dollars to fund your venue, then you need to allow everyone, of all political persuasions, to publicly speak. You can't cancel people USING TAXPAYER MONEY. Its a direct violation of the first amendment and the core principals of this nation.

The bill does NOT ban venues that have not received any tax dollars from banning whoever they want in line with whatever views they want for their venue.

Why do you think taxpayer funded venues should be able to ban speech they disagree with? Also, would you support a taxpayer funded venue from banning, say, Joe Biden or Barack Obama from speaking?

If we're banning misinformation, remember, you are the ones who need to be banned, because you keep spewing literal, verifiable lies.

Why would it be illegal? Its been well established that if you are accepting tax dollars as part of your business, you are subject to extra government rules. We've seen the democrats heavily in favor of this when Biden was ordering that all government contractors give full government benefits and the government worker minimum wage to all employees of government contractors a few years ago, even for employees who were not working on a government job, just if your company takes a government contract, you pay the way the government says for your entire company. We see the same thing with the quotas, minority and women owned businesses, etc, tied to receiving tax dollars. 

If you don't want the government telling you to support free speech in your venue, stop taking taxpayer dollars. Repay the tax payers with interest for the money you took, because you're obviously fighting against the American dream.

It does apply to private venues that accept public money. For example, if some of our TDT tax requesters or wanted enhancement for their non-profits get that money, they need to uphold the first amendment. If they do not take tax dollars, then it does not apply.

that's good to know.  thumbs up!

[JFW657]

I've been seeing it said by right-wingers that venues can be sued for cancelling performance contracts because of the ignorance their heroes post on social media, and that the bill isn't necessary because of those repercussions built into civil law. 

So why did this Republican Fl Representative submit a bill to end the practice of cancelling performance contracts to begin with?

Because if there is a clause in the contract concerning PUBLIC CONDUCT as most of them probably do, that allows the venue to cancel the contract without fear of legal repercussion. 

Sample clause: https://www.lawinsider.com/clause/artists-conduct   

So this rube figures that if he sticks a bogus taxpayer funding qualifier in the bill and it passes, that will end the practice of cancelling shows by scum like Ted Nugent (who once called President Obama a mongrel) because many businesses, especially entertainment venues, have received some form of taxpayer funding during their startup in the form of small business grants or loans, etc. If this bill passes, the state will in effect, be denying businesses the right to enforce public behavior clauses in their contracts. 

IOW, typical underhanded, backdoor Republican tactics.

They've also been passing misinformation about Disney and supposed violations of Florida "building" codes, which is also baloney.

The only "codes" RCID allowed Disney to skirt were ZONING RULES that pertain to exterior ARCHITECTURAL AND COSMETIC features. The need for that in a THEME park, is obviously because of the need to follow a THEME. Therefore, RCID didn't impose the kind of design requirements on Disney that cities and municipalities impose on private developers. 

As far as building (engineering) standards are concerned, RCID never allowed Disney to cut themselves any slack whatsoever. I know this from personal experience because a company I worked for in the 90's built a lot of stuff on Disney property both in the parks and behind the scenes. Part of my job was handling permitting all over the state, including several at RCID.  I know for a fact they required the same level of structural engineering standards as Orlando, Orange County, Winter Park, Seminole County, etc, etc, etc. 

If anything, they go overboard. 

Anyone who believes a company like Disney would risk tens/hundreds of millions of dollars in personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, not to mention the irreparable damage to their reputation and loss of visitors disasters would cause, all just to cut corners on construction, can't have much to speak of in the way of common sense.

So that whole business about how "The left believes because Disney is pushing their message, they should not have to comply with Florida's building code and other laws in the state of Florida, that Universal and every other corporation in the state of Florida has to follow..." is just more of the usual right-wing nonsense, propaganda and self-serving revisionism. 

Aka lies. 

Amazing how those who spout that kind of dishonesty are the same ones who have the gall to spout stuff like "If we're banning misinformation, remember, you are the ones who need to be banned, because you keep spewing literal, verifiable lies."

Trumper zombie pots love to falsely accuse the kettles of having the same finish they themselves have. 

Good thing I've spent so much of the past 20+ years dealing with dishonest right-wingers online so that I can spot their sneaky little tricks.
