I was sure that there was a lot of BS flying around last night. Glad that it was all fact-checked. Thanks for the link. I like how detailed it is; the authors really did a good job on it. ---

From the debate: If you believe in climate change, DO NOT vote for a Republican. Things mentioned by both were “drill, baby, drill,” get rid of the EPA, cancel all electric vehicle progress, China is still polluting, so why should we do anything? And the list goes on and on. ---

That’s not what they mean by that. They’re certain that we could relieve ourselves of requiring the use of foreign oil, if we produced more at home. It’s a shortsighted INDEPENDENCE thing. It is another expression of “Can you believe how expensive gas is???” ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > No Man Is An Island [Hijack] I was thinking of Donne a couple of minutes ago and re-read his poem “The Flea” to consider how the current book banning plan would affect classical literature. And yes, cancel culture would ban one of my favourite poems. [/Hijack] ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > I think the suckers will buy it. Sadly this is likely to be true. And there are way too many suckers among the Florida GOP electorate. Even so, DeSantis has lost some of the sheen of inevitability that he enjoyed once he announced his candidacy. A lot of his defenders must know they can’t, anymore, present those “God created a fighter” memes without being laughed out of the room. ---
