Welcome! You’re starting out in the Pit, which is a lot less logical than the rest of the board. Maybe check out some of the other forums while you’re here.
Agreed, and welcome, roadiejames! Glad to have you on the Dope with us.
Almost certainly, they wanted the dog.
And on the political front…
Welcome roadiejames. I’m always glad to see new blood and I look forward to your posts…I hope😀
While I don’t mean to defend DeSantis in any way, this is incredibly bad, misleading framing on CNN’s part. First of all, it implies that DeSantis lifting restrictions on Friday is the cause of cases rising on Tuesday, which it is not. It takes time for people to be infected, time for them to notice symptoms and go in for a test, time for the test to be processed, and time for the results to appear in the state’s daily totals. Anyone showing up as a new case on Tuesday would have been infected before Friday.
Secondly, there’s always a big rise in cases between Monday and Tuesday, every single week, as the various agencies play catch-up reporting results from over the weekend. It’s expected. Monday’s reported total was unusually low (actually, THE lowest single-day total since the beginning of June); Tuesday’s was not unusually high (the highest since … ten days earlier? Seriously?), especially when you factor in the weekend catch-up issue. A look at the seven-day average does not show anything that could meaningfully be considered a “surge.”
If they don’t lock down at least a bit, they’re going to lose a lot of tourists. The US is already off the radar for most of my friends in the UK, but Florida will be even moreso, and it’s one of the biggest destinations for Brits going to the US.
As long as we persuade / scare / theaten the northeasterners enough that they stay north this winter rather than staging their usual invasion I really don’t care how dumb our Governor gets.
Better if we can achieve scaring them off without killing many full-timer Floridiots like me.
Just stumbled on this thread.
Nicely done. 
I think a lot of those seniors are Jews, so probably already blue (blue Jews?). But yeah, kill them before they can vote.
I’ve always heard that God turned this country on end, and all of the loose nuts rolled into California. Personally, I’ve always thought that Florida looked like the US’ penis, so them being fucked is to be expected.
I grew up in CA.
Q: Why does Texas have all the rednecks while California has all the fruits, nuts, and flakes?
A: California got first pick. 
That’s why they call it the Granola State!
They’re starting to put up signs in parks saying “Do not enter at dusk” because of the coyotes. They’re becoming a problem.
Coyotes are the new reptiles.
I hear that gators and coyotes are cross breeding in the Miami sewers.
And they question why we want to keep the US/Canadian border closed…
So, are they “Alliyotes” or Coygators"?
Crocayotes?
Are those anything like Crocostimpys?
Whatever they are, it’ll be a new SyFy movie shortly…
