Funny, I was just talking about Republicans and their "freedoms" in Florida. Namely, the cruise companies which DeSantis wants to prohibit from requiring proof of vaccination before boarding. What happened to the freedom to conduct business as you see fit?

I didn’t even know it was for sale. It’s already a third over. Do we get a discount?

and the fall, and the winter.

"Beaten COVID" ??? Well, the Democrats have nearly beaten it... Republicans? not so much.
And they're going to pay for it.

(Gawd, you'd think a US Senator would have someone to proof-read their public statements to catch any stupid misspellings like this, don't you?)

But since he's not up for re-election until 2024 and judging by his landslide margin of victory (0.2%), there's probably no way to do that.
