      I’m pretty happy that the 4th amendment is still somewhat working in protecting us from unreasonable search.

      Now if the feds have reasonable suspicion and can get a judge to sign off on a warrant, go nuts!

      Its frustrating, because a Bush USA would have been so far up Ron’s ass he wouldn’t need those lifts in his shoes. But Obama and Biden just kinda shrug at this and let it slide.

      I will yet again say that your browser histories should be public information if you’re going to run for office, or at the very least once you get elected. With heavy penalties if it turns out you’re hiding anything.

        I’m an elected state official in Florida at the extremely local level. Fuck off with that. People don’t need to know my browsing history. It’s entirely possible to judge someone’s fitness by the acts they take in office alone.

          Why would I want to know their fitness after they were elected? Sorry, if you’re secretly a Nazi, I want to know before I vote for you.

          What could possibly be in your browser history that you don’t want people to see?

            I’m sorry, do you live in the same world as the rest of us? Seems like half the country wants to murder gay people and thinks porn should be illegal and you can’t fathom why someone might want to hide perfectly acceptable parts of their identity?

            This would basically disallow any closeted gay/trans person from ever running for office, for example. People deserve their privacy.

            My browsing history is my business, not yours or anyone else’s. You may as well start asking for my correspondence history, a record of the content of my private conversations, etc…

            I understand the danger that bad actors posing as normal candidates pose. Trust me, I’ve dealt with it first hand. But throwing out huge swathes of otherwise qualified candidates because they aren’t willing to share every piece of their personal life is not the remedy.

              When you’re going to be given governmental powers beyond a normal citizen’s, it’s everyone’s business what sort of person you really are.

              A browser history is not every piece of a personal life.

              I am sorry, but it sounds like you have a good reason to be opposed to this.

                Dude, I normally agree with you, but not on this. You’re trying to set up a purity test for office. You might not use it that way, but the Repuglicans will.

                Also do you really want to see your daughter’s entire browser history because you raised her well, and she decides to become a civil servant? Or worse, have it plastered all over the news? Think hard on that one.

                  FS is a weird one. Did you know he didn’t know that online coupons existed? like, at all? It started in a topic about Domino’s pizza (yes, he never knew Domino’s Pizza had coupons), and turns out it expanded to anything online, as he listed a bunch of websites that he was certain, just like Domino’s, didn’t have coupons. I’m not discrediting everything about him, but between this “privacy shouldn’t exist” stance and “everyone else is at fault for me never knowing that coupons existed on the internet”, I’m starting to wonder.

                  If she did something nefarious that the public should know about? Absolutely I do. I’m not why you think I would consider family a special case and I’m sorry you think that I’m that sort of hypocrite because I sure have never indicated I am.

                  (Also, I don’t know why people insist on telling me they normally agree with me when they disagree with me, but it happens all the time.)

    “You have your tax dollars being given in grants to things like the Fringe Festival, which is like a sexual festival where they’re doing all this stuff,” DeSantis said during a Thursday press conference, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

    Hmm, I wonder what kinds of “sexual stuff” he’s referring to.

    the Tampa Bay Times reports that the governor’s spokespeople did not respond to questions about specific events he found objectionable.

    Oh.

    Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani (D), who attended this year’s Orlando Fringe festival, told the Times that she saw nothing “sexual” at the festival.

    “It does feature drag queens and other forms of artistic expression that DeSantis has wanted to censor despite courts telling him otherwise!” Eskamani said.

    So a man dressing in women’s clothes is an inherently sexual act, according to these sexually repressed freaks.

      Why weren’t these heroes around to defund all theater in Shakespeare’s day? Think what they could have accomplished!

      I await the DeSantis campaign to outlaw the films Some Like it Hot and Mrs. Doubtfire in Florida.

        Even the fascists loved art in the 1930s and 1940s. They just used it for their own ends. Goebbels knew how vital art was all too well.

        These fascists are too stupid to understand that they could actually use public arts funding that way thankfully. This might be a better result in some ways.

      Things are only overly sexual when you learn that gay people exist, or a man performs art as a woman.
