The below comments are from a reply I made on a Rick Outzen post about DeSantis pretending he's going to pull a rabbit out of his fez on our insurance crisis. They pertain just as well to this shrug-off PSC letter assuring us they're going to ignore the situation until we get to throw hundreds of thousands more dollars on yet another lawsuit, seemingly the only avenue to attempt some semblance of pushback on the Florida GOP's autocratic oligarchy, while their base foams at the mouth over the pleasure of being pillaged.

OUR GOVERNOR AND OUR REPRESENTATIVES DON’T CARE. They don’t care about the affordable housing crisis, they don’t care about condos falling down, they don’t care the deal they arranged for their oligarchic comrades in FPL is breaking the backs of Panhandle citizens, they don’t care about our insurance issues, and they certainly don’t care about the rape and pillage environmental devastation that their “Deragathon” has made worse, let alone all of the illegal contracting that is happening because they gutted consumer protection against it.
What would entice them to stop clowning around and actually care about anything but their own ambition and greed. How do you make people give a crap? As long as the voters here and other places continue to be fooled by their distractionary culture wars and Facebook positivity propaganda, throwing roses at their feet while they literally steal bread out of their kid’s mouths–I have no idea. I do know that, sadly, how a lot of people are looking at solving it is by moving out of the state. They don’t care about that either, since DeSantis has offered fringe bonuses for people who want to come to the Home of Freedom. They are clearly on a determined program to push certain segments of the population out of Florida, while inviting the most rabid of their base to come on down and settle. Oh, be sure and donate on your way in.
If the voters actually took a step back from the Florida GOP’s indoctrination strategies for a moment and looked around at what they are *actually* effecting, if people really realized just how catastrophic their mismanagement of the state is, well, that wouldn’t solve the insurance problem on a dime, either. But until that happens, nothing else will get solved. They’ll just keep sending up hallelujahs on people being saved from critical race theory because they don’t understand it’s a red herring for fixing the textbook market in Florida for certain crony publishers.
And buckle in, because it’s going to get a whole lot worse for the average citizen, while they enjoy their pampered game show up in Tallahassee. There isn’t a single republican that I can see in Tallahassee that isn’t willing to sell out their constituents to kiss DeSantis’s rod. What’s the remedy for it when a society goes bonkers and mistakes the special interest corruption, self-interest, and greed of their lawmakers for “freedom”? I really wish I knew. :( We moved to this state to get away from Big Government intruding on every aspect of our lives and pocketbooks. Never in a million years did I imagine that, eight years later, we’d be watching an authoritarian hell develop in Florida, of all places. If they continue down their checklist in breakneck speed, they will be confiscating property next, starting with probate court. I just keep hoping more people wake up to what this governor, his administration, and our legislature is perpetrating. Short of that, there are no answers.
Melissa Pino, if Florida is not working out for you, have you thought about moving to New York, New Jersey or even California. There are not many Republicans there and you should be very happy in one of those states. Good luck on your moving out of Florida. Bless your heart.

Ah, "Bless your heart." The favored insult among the elderly, doddering Qing set who conflates their inherent bigotry and authoritarian thirst for Christianity. Bless yours, Dearie.
Melissa Pino I would have to agree with Unknown 11:02 and advise you to leave the state. Desantis and the Republicans have scared you so much that you withdrew from the commissioners' race. Let's remind the other half dozen readers of this blog that you claimed once to be a registered Republican. Personally, I was looking forward to the entertainment value you brought to that race. I would buy the pizza and beer and help you pack if you decided to move. Please put a map of the US on the wall, throw the dart, and pick another place to try to screw up.
9:55 AM, anyone who doesn't find the actions of DeSantis, his administration, and his banana republic legislature terrifying is either a stone cold fool or believes for some reason that they belong in a special class that won't have the authoritarianism they want exercised against other people visited back on them.
Of course I got out of an election cycle where DeSantis created a special arm of the FDLE to drum up election crimes against non establishment candidates, armed it with prosecutors, and enabled a tip line. Duh. Especially in a town with the likes of you. Those of us who have actually been down in the trenches against some of this state corruption, rather than limiting our activities to social media trolling, know the risk and have actually experienced what it can entail. As I've said publicly, I've already had FDLE at my door with a summons, and managed to navigate that in a helpful way toward clearing the innocent EMS. In this climate, I'm not going to bend over backwards to have that viewed as a mulligan. Every person I know with a modicum of common sense realizes I'm speaking rationally, and yet still I don't cower under "anonymous" when I post.
So good luck with your ongoing insurrection. Just remember that once they really get going full tilt, that hammer and sickle swing wide, and often end in a boomerang. Thankfully I don't entertain your delusions of grandeur that anyone is safe once the rule of law starts to erode. It's well on its way now to doing so in Florida. I've never committed any criminal activity, wasn't running for an outdated and pointless Signal platform in the days after Jan 6, and don't have any federal agencies monitoring my activities. How about you?
I will vote the Republican ticket, DeSantis and any of the local ones again including Gaetz.
Ya'll, she just foaming at the mouth.
Yep, Old Yeller.
Of course you'll conform. Your sort and the rest of your cult can't help but lick the hand that feeds and beats.
There we have ladies and gentlemen. Melissa Pino on full display. The only thing she left out was strange-looking men wearing dark suits and sunglasses driving around in her neighborhood in black sedans. She does bring entertainment to the conversation.
Censor comments much?
And there you have ladies and gentlemen. The only things Melissa Pino left out were the two men wearing dark suits and dark sunglasses driving around her neighborhood in a black sedan while passing the suspicious van with dark windows parked across the street. She never disappoints.
When FDLE knocks on your door with a summons from a prosecutor in the state's attorney's office, they are not strange looking men, do not necessarily arrive in black sedans, and don't come accompanied by a suspicious van with dark windows. They did wear sunglasses, however, as it was pretty sunny out that day. They were also very professional with a good sense of humor. I was being asked to appear for an interview on the EMS debacle, which the SAO then delayed. When they were in contact again, I was happy to oblige, and met with the prosecutor and the chief FDLE investigator on the case. It was a very helpful meeting, as I was able to fill in some blanks on public record documents--such as the original harassment complaints that the county buried--that County administration neglected to turn over, along with being able to help straighten out the timeline on events, which administration had incorrectly represented to both the State's Attorney's Office and the FDLE investigators.
I'd like to think that meeting was pivotal towards two of them, who were completely innocent of all the charges, having very positive outcomes in their cases. As a matter of fact, it's on the court docket now that their period of good behavior is ending early, and that once it does all charges will be dropped. At that point, they can ask to have the charges expunged. My only regret is that I didn't sit for the interview prior to the first person charged making his deal with the SAO, and will never know whether that might have helped him avoid having to cop to two misdemeanors he didn't do--maybe I could have provided information that could have cleared him of those. I'm completely ignorant of the circumstances of the fourth person charged, so can't speak with any knowledge about his guilty pleas. If you have any questions about what actually happened in the land of reality, though, feel free to ask.
I'd do all of that again to help keep innocent people out of jail. What I won't do is put myself in the line of fire with DeSantis setting up a bogus Election Police with prosecutors and a tip hotline that you and your tribe can use to burn up the burners with disinformation and false allegations. As long as DeSantis is governor and the Florida GOP is happy to act as nothing more than his employees taking orders, it's not worth it.
BTW, if you think anybody is fooled that there are multiple people chiming in above, it's clear you're pretending to be different people while actually having a conversation with yourself. Keep that cheap VPN crankin.
TALLAHASSEE – Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed one of the legislative session’s most lobbied bills, killing a “net metering” measure Wednesday sought by Florida Power & Light that would have sharply reined-in the rooftop solar industry.
Solar business owners had feared it would cripple their sales and maintenance industry, discouraging homeowners and others from installing rooftop solar.
But DeSantis’ veto also marks a major setback for FPL, which was behind a TV advertising and lobbying effort that helped convince the Republican-led Legislature to approve the measure (HB 741).
DeSantis, though, wasn’t convinced. He viewed the move as likely costing utility customers even more.
“Given that the United States is experiencing its worst inflation in 40 years and that consumers have seen steep increases in the price of gas and groceries, as well as escalating bills, the state of Florida should not contribute to the financial crunch that our citizens are experiencing,” DeSantis wrote in his veto letter.
You crack me up, Melissa. Understanding sarcasm is not one of your strongest suits. What's even funnier is you want me to believe that citizen activists (you) cracked the great EMS scandal. Something FDLE couldn't fathom doing themselves without your help. I believe FDLE paid you a visit but for different reasons.
Glad to see DeSantis finally caved on the net metering bill he was driving in the background. In case anyone hasn't noticed, nothing progresses that far in the legislature without his seal and even instigation these days. Good on the activists that have been leading the charge to point to the governor's negligence on the FPL issue--thrilled he is feeling the heat. Maybe he can get off his keister now and do something about their rape and pillage rate hikes in the Panhandle.
Hilarious, also, that Alex Andrade once more got thrown under the bus for being everybody's favorite shill. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
So true--lots of drivel and what a sad little thing
She violates almost all of the blogs rules
Sounds just like something ur licking buddy Andrade would say
You continue to violate the blog rules--just another clear indicator that you screen the comments
