If one state has everything left-liberals hate, it’s Florida. Floridians have no income tax, relaxed shutdown rules and, most egregiously of all, Florida men. I’m not talking about the colorful characters who inspired the ‘Florida man’ meme with their constant crimes and shenanigans. I’m referring to three different Florida men: the GOAT, the Governor and the Donald.
Let’s start with the GOAT, Tom Brady. When the 43-year-old walked into Raymond James Stadium last weekend, he was wearing earbuds, shades and a Tom Ford jacket — but he was missing a mask.
Uh oh. The Super Bowl had not even started and Tom had already sent the Twitter tattletales into a tailspin. Vice President Kamala Harris’s niece Meena kicked off the mask-shaming by tweeting, ‘What’s Tom doing without a damn mask?’ Droves of concerned citizens, including groups Moms Demand Action, pounced on this heinous sin. Little did they know, it was about to get even worse.
After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers crushed the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9, Brady walked onto the field to hug his teammates and find his family. You guessed it: no mask, no face shield, big problem.
It is likely Brady and the other players were tested prior to the game. Such details are irrelevant to the perpetually offended. After all, President Biden has been vaccinated and he still plans on wearing a mask for the next year. Logic doesn’t sell as well as panic porn.
A few days later the team had a championship boat parade in Tampa. The scene was gloriously normal, a flashback to our pre-pandemic world. It was a bunch of happy people hanging out. From the look of Brady afterwards, maybe having ‘a little avocado tequila’.
Just like his locker-room entrance and his celebrations on the field, Brady must have known his actions would incense the blue-check marks monitoring the festivities from their apartments in DC. So why didn’t he care?
Perhaps Brady has figured out that his time is better spent trying to make himself happy as opposed to trying to make the COVID scolds less mad. The latter is a fruitless endeavor.
For perhaps the same reason, Gov. Ron DeSantis, when asked if he was concerned about the large crowds celebrating after the game, said, ‘The media is worried about that, obviously. You don’t care as much if it’s a “peaceful protest’, then it’s fine. You don’t care as much if they’re celebrating a Biden election. You only care about it if it’s people you don’t like. I’m a Bucs fan. I’m damn proud of what they did.’
Like Donald J. Trump, DeSantis and Brady are both used to being hated, loved, blamed and praised. But these Florida men know something vital that every American should learn: you do not need left-wing media approval to succeed.
Brady didn’t need the columnists at USA Today to forgive him in 2015 when the news broke that he had a MAGA hat in his locker. As the press reeled in horror and pushed out think pieces on the problematic Patriot, Brady just kept adding rings to his collection. DeSantis didn’t need CNN’s Chris Cuomo to gush over him on prime time in order to keep Florida’s schools open and its economy alive. Donald Trump didn’t need a fawning press corps to win over half the country.
There is a reason some people are making the game-time decisions in the arena and others are critiquing them from their basements. While fun-sucking ‘journalists’ were tweeting about how ‘Florida is going to kill us all’, Tom Brady was winning his seventh Super Bowl, Ron DeSantis was enjoying an ice-cold beer and Donald Trump was watching it all from his $160 million beachside resort.
Florida Man strikes again.

WE as American have a right to boo our Presidents and their wives. And we all have a duty to insure the law is faithfully executed. Resolution to prosecute Donald Trump for an accessory to a pandemic - 2nd degree murder or voluntary manslaughter.
WHEREAS Trump was briefed at least by January 30, 2020 that Covid-19 was super contagious as is smallpox and plague,
WHEREAS on Jan. 30, 2020 Trump said “We think we have it very well under control and;
Feb. 24: “The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA.”
March 10: “It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
March 15: “It's something that we have tremendous control over.”
March 25: “Many states don’t have a problem.”
Apirl 4: “People need to go to baseball games, get America working again,”
WHEREAS all of the evidence we had in February 2020 indicates that travel restrictions and quarantines were unlikely to keep the virus out of our borders because this virus was spreading too quickly and too silently, and our surveillance was too limited for us to truly know which countries have active transmission,
WHEREAS Trump told Americans 22 times the Corona virus would go away,
WHEREAS in late September 2020, Trump claimed that the virus would "go away without the vaccine" because people would develop "herd mentality” (he meant herd immunity),
WHEREAS in August 2020 Trump appointed Dr. Scott Atlas to the coronavirus task force, whereupon Scott, who had no infectious disease training said, “Concern about the pandemic is overblown, the death rate is exaggerated, COVID-19 testing is overrated, K-12 school closures and economic lockdowns do more harm than good,” and called upon the citizens of Michigan to “rise up” in opposition to COVID-19 control measures,
WHEREAS Trump in February 2020 accused Democrats of “politicizing” the corona virus during a campaign rally claiming that the outbreak is “their new hoax,” accusing the press of being in “hysteria mode”, and downplaying the severity by comparing the number of fatalities during an average flu season,
WHEREAS what Trump claimed the formerly responsible news agencies to “fake news,”
WHEREAS Trump’s packed rallies may have led to 700 COVID-19 related deaths and 30,000 additional coronavirus cases,
WHEREAS on Jan. 2021 the total US deaths was 393,928 from Covid-19, and 13,975,036 have gotten sick from it,
WHEREAS on Feb. 2021 the total US deaths was +1,342 more than January and 27,686,809 have gotten sick from it,
WHEREAS on about January 4, 2021 via Twitter, Trump called the national coronavirus death toll tallied by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “fake news,”
WHEREAS at the time of ratification of the US Constitution, the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors thus appears understood to have applied to uniquely political offenses, or misdeeds committed by public officials against the state, "and the misconduct of public men (woman) from the abuse or violation of some public trust," (Source: Federalist Papers: No 65, wrote former Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton),
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we demand Trump be prosecuted for and/or held liable for acts of gross negligence and reckless disregard for human life amounting to being an accessory to a pandemic - 2nd degree murder or voluntary manslaughter.
Prosecution of George W. Bush et. al. for War Crimes
WHEREAS there is overwhelming evidence that President George W. Bush and et. al. (his direct subordinates) committed war crimes,
WHEREAS international law requires the United States government to prosecute all war crimes committed by US persons; for example, torture, ghost prisoners, secret jails, used depleted uranium weapons that poisoned the battlefield and civilians for many years following the warfare, and making war on Iraq without a UN resolution,
WHEREAS President Bush et al, ordered the kidnapping of an estimated 150 people from foreign nations (aka “extraordinary rendition”) and delivering them for interrogation by nations having a well documented history of torture,
WHEREAS, Regarding Iraq, the last Security Council resolution essentially said, “Look, send the weapons inspectors out to Iraq, have them come back and tell us what they've found -- then we'll figure out what we're going to do.” But without permission/vote of the UN Security Council, the US invaded Iraq and in so doing the US did unprovoked or "aggressive" war, the highest crime against mankind,
WHEREAS President Bush and seven of his administration's top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq,
WHEREAS If George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and others are not prosecuted US government leaders in the future will not fear any personal consequences for going to war without a declaration by Congress,
WHEREAS the claim that the President, as commander-in-chief, can exercise the unlimited powers of a king or dictator strikes at the very heart of our democracy and the rule of law requires a rejection of impunity for the criminal acts of government officials,
WHEREAS 6,900 and approximately 7,800 contractors were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan at the end of 2018, 52,010 wounded in action, and this number does not included are those “non-hostile injuries” and other medical problems such as heat stroke, suicide attempts, respiratory problems, and vehicle crashes,
WHEREAS 970,000 disability claims registered with the VA,
WHEREAS these wars have been paid for almost entirely by borrowing, therefore including the predicted interest payments, the total cost will be over $6 trillion by the 2050s,
WHEREAS more than 480,000 people have been killed by direct war violence in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan and over 8.4 million Afghans, Pakistanis, and Iraqis are living as war refugees in other countries or are displaced from their homes,
WHEREAS every segment of the US electorate–including majorities of Democrats (82 percent), independents (62 percent), and Republicans (51 percent) — want to hold the Bush administration accountable for its role in the destruction of the CIA’s interrogation tapes and the use of torture by the agency,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED we demand the US Justice Department prosecute of George W. Bush et. al. for war crimes,
