It sorta reminds me of the Salem Witch Trials. The Republicans just need that smoking pyre of flesh and they will be right at home.

By Jessie BalmertColumbus - The Ohio Republican Party's (click here) leaders called on Rep. Anthony Gonzalez to resign for voting to impeach former President Donald Trump, a stunning rebuke of one of their own.
On Friday, the party's governing board called on Gonzalez, R-Rocky River, to resign in a divided vote. They also voted to censure Gonzalez and nine other members of Congress for "their votes to support the unconstitutional, politically motivated impeachment proceeding against President Donald J. Trump," according to the resolution.
Gonzalez was one of 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which left five people dead. He is the third to be censured for the vote by his state party, following Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney and South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice....
While in Florida, there should be an investigation into DeSantis roll in the corruption to end a repeat election.

A GOP political operative (click here) is being charged with paying a sham candidate to run for Florida State Senate and unseating the incumbent Democrat. Democrats are calling for a new election.
To Miami now, where Democrats are calling for a new election following the arrests of two men charged with manipulating a state Senate race. Prosecutors say a Republican operative misled voters by recruiting a candidate with the same last name as the incumbent and then paid him to run. NPR's Greg Allen reports.
GREG ALLEN, BYLINE: In Florida and some other states, recruiting ghost or shadow candidates is a well-known political strategy. Katherine Rundle, the state attorney in Miami-Dade County, has seen it before. She says it's always used against an existing officeholder....
Remember how DeSantis didn't care about keeping Floridians safe so much as insuring profits from Spring Break? Well, his lack of real leadership is causing hardship.
Norwegian Cruise Lines is looking for a new homeport. Seriously, now. They need a place where the government doesn't interfere in their corporate policies. Miami is out as far as Norwegian is concerned. Cities along the Gulf of Mexico need to put a bid into Norwegian to win their homeport status.

Miami-based Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has said it intends to require 100 percent of passengers and crew to be fully vaccinated to sail. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) issued an executive order in March barring businesses from requiring proof of vaccinations. He signed that order into state law on Monday.
“That’s an issue,” Norwegian CEO Frank Del Rio said during an earnings call this week. He said the company has been in talks with the governor’s office, and his legal experts believe the vaccination requirement falls under federal and not state law.
“But at the end of the day, cruise ships have motors, propellers and rudders, and god forbid we can’t operate in the state of Florida for whatever reason, then there are other states that we do operate from,” he said. “And we can operate from the Caribbean for ships that otherwise would’ve gone to Florida.”...
Then President Biden wonders why the fight against the virus never seems to end. Here is part of the reason. The country, in a popular vote, threw Trump out for the reasons that were all too obvious and part of that is the poor handling of the SARS-CoV-2 crisis. There is still that lingering stench of Trump within the GOP even after an insurrection.

So far, two cases of the variant known as P2 have emerged in Florida, in a 74-year-old man in Broward County and a 51-year-old woman in Duval County. The variant has a slightly different sequence than the P1 strain, which in Brazil has been found to be more likely to re-infect people who have already had COVID-19 compared to the original virus....
The variants must be contained. That means the CDC and HHS at the federal level must put demands on Florida's counterparts to end the spread of the variants. The federal authority needs to assert the protection of the people when states are poorly lead like Florida. The USA DOJ must provide the federal authority the capacity to protect the people in the absence of scientific principles. If these variants aren't contained there will be many people sick and dying all over again. Bring charges to the irreverent governors that are placing economics before the lives of citizens. What is the USA suppose to do, forget it needs able body people to work it's economy and protect it from harm? Someone in Washington, DC needs to step up to end this willful negligent homicide.
