DeSantis fires some staff, fundraising lagging....

Mike Pence and Tim Scott ended their non-existent chances at the Tucker-hosted GOP forum. DeSantis did ok, and Vivek surged. Vivek's popularity got another bump with the Turning Point event, solidifying him in 2nd Place - quite literally. Straw polling has him leading the field if anything happens to Trump.

He looked even smaller for not meeting with the president last week.

As professionals, we’ve all had to meet with folks who aren’t our friends, but they are our partners and leaders.

No doubt he'll take the federal disaster money and whine like a bitch for more.

[Chuck Naill]

If things don’t go well in Florida, it’s got to be Biden’s fault. Maybe he’ll funnel the funds to Republican counties. That sounds familiar for some reason.

Yes, this is just like when liberals wanted to ban Mark Twain, because a 19th century author had the audacity to use "the 'N' word".

Florida state law lists no book explicitly - and merely states that explicit books are not appropriate.

So let's look at the books.

Here's one with poetry. Yes, those evil Maga-DeSantians hate poetry, apparently.

Well, a little risqué, you might say; but surely this isn't enough to get all these RWW's riled up.

So let's continue.

Oh, that's just a little fellatio and some breast removal. No biggie, right TSherbs?

Let's keep going.

Is this appropriate for K-12 students?

TSherbs won't answer me or Chuck, and Seney noticed he keeps "whistling past the graveyard" on this specific topic.

Perhaps someone else can pose the question and see if he will answer.

Thanks, but no.

Attachment 76444 I am not sure as the covers don't tell me much.

Attachment 76450 doesn't seem to open for me.

As for the rest, maybe I am old fashioned and have been out of school for too long, but those don't seem appropriate for school, absolutely not for 10 grade or younger. Even with 11 to 12 you are stretching it. I mean it is one thing to have books on sex education, those seem to go way too far for me.

I am not sure as the covers don't tell me much.

From the cover they appear somewhat innocuous, which may or may not be intentional. They were posted for reference.

...doesn't seem to open for me.

If you click the little blue square with the two white arrows next to the particular quote, it will take you to the post. They are imbedded there and should be visible.

Be forewarned that they are graphic.

those seem to go way too far for me

I agree. There has been a challenge to get TSherbs to acknowledge them at all, and I am not the only poster who has asked him for his opinion on them.

It seems odd, since he is quite adamant about religion not belonging in public school (which I generally agree with).

[Warbler]

yes, they are graphic, to say the least.
