I believe Florence is fairly well known as the town with the Grey Bar Hotel that hosts Arizona’s most deserving of a vacation. How pleasing it would be to see Individual-ONE getting a nice secure room there. hmmmm… isn’t Florence Colorado the home of Supermax prison? Coincidence? ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > Oh, I think I have been through there, on the road from Phoenix to Tucson. I actually Google-mapped it. I noticed immediately that Florence is about 10 miles from Eloy, AZ, a place I once visited for a weekend in a pathetic effort to restore a breaking marriage by going on a dove hunt (“Be a good sport! Show some interests in my hobbies!”). Were anyone to ask me from that day to this where the Asshole of the USA is located, I would unhesitatingly blurt, “Eloy, AZ.” And I wouldn’t be wrong. I’m not surprised at all to learn this is where the Cheeto Benito is holding his rally. ---

Senator Roger Marshall apparently doesn’t know how to use the Internet, so he demanded to know from Doctor Fauci why his federal income isn’t public record. Fauci told him that it is public record, all Marshall has to do is look for it. Then when Fauci thought that his microphone was turned off, he called Marshall a moron. Marshall has now introduced the FAUCI act (Financial Accountability for Uniquely Compensated Individuals) to require Fauci’s income to be public record, when it already is. > **[Republican Senator Fauci Called a 'Moron' Is So Shook by the Exchange That...](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/fauci-act-roger-marshall-anthony-fauci-moron-argument-1284867/)** > > Sen.

I said in another thread that current Republicans/Trumplicans are “anti” everything, and are not actually in favor of anything. I stand corrected. It appears that Virginia’s GOP is pro human trafficking. So there’s that, anyway. ---
