    Yet, so many Americans vote with their feet, in favor of the State, that they keep gaining House seats. Weird!

    DeSantis Sends Cops To Physically Remove Suspended 'Soros-Backed' State Attorney

    [​IMG]

    "When you flagrantly violate your oath of office .. when you make yourself above the law, you have violated your duty..."

    Hit the road you Soros Ass hat.

    "DeSantis sent state police to physically remove Warren from his office, "with access only to retrieve his personal belongings, and (ii) to ensure that no files, papers, documents, notes, records, computers, or removable storage media are removed from the Office of the State Attorney..."

    Made sure he didn't steal things on his way out.

    [​IMG]


    ""This is about having accountability to our system of law and order to prosecute crime. There has been a pattern developing in Hillsborough County where one person picks and chooses which laws he wishes to enforce," ~ DeSantis

    That's how one deals with these lawless Soros-pukes.

    Quick name the last President to be removed from office. I also think impeachment is a dumb waste of time. It serves zero point

    If they are elderly, then they are moving to those nice retirmement residential condo towers that are near the beaches to begin with, like Fort Lauderdale for instance. So, Freshair was correct in his statement.

    Your hypocritical Chrisitan pro-life poster boy is playing all of you for fools.

    He doesn't give a **** about abortions because he won't touch the subject afraid to lose independent and moderate Democrats voters for his 2x governor election.

    Florida's an abortion haven performing 75-80,000 of them yearly.

    They support that because they don't give a damn about abortions.

    This is about controlling women and treating them like second class citizens.

    You shouldn't be so hard on old Joe. Didn't need to bold the first sentence because you already did. Thanks. Lol
    Remember when? I do. :) Politicians, while personally pro-life, eventually flip to pander for votes. Get it yet?

    As someone who was actually born and raised in Florida and lived in many different places in Florida my entire lifetime I can tell you right now that you both don't have a clue what you're talking about

    We do have prosecutorial discretion in this country and yes, it is part of his job. The question is not really whether one violated the law, but whether it is ethical to prosecute a person based on circumstances that the specified law does not appeal to the general public. We see this constantly when detectives and ADA's talk to witnesses in which a murder happened and drugs were involved. Usually in these cases, even though the person may admit under oath taking drugs or transporting them, they will not prosecute because they need their testimony to convict the guy who killed another person.

    Ah, you never heard of prosecutorial discretion, have you Zorro? It is a fundamental principle in our law. And DeSantis is using this not for the rule of law, but as another mark to run for President. He knows his fan base will love this. But the ABA, the Florida ABA, and so forth will work behind the scenes, away from the public eye, that this will only be temporary.

    If DeSantis thinks he can win the WH by prosecuting people who have abortions, a law is now in a legal dispute right now and not enforceable. Furthermore, prosecutors want convictions, and there is an extremely good chance that juries in Florida will not prosecute physicians performing abortions, especially if it is threatening the life of the mother.

    Under the law, the abortion ban allows an abortion up to 15 weeks. After that, two physicians have to agree that it was an abnormal fetus and not expected to survive after birth. In any case, under DeSantis law, the current, a physician cannot be prosecuted unless it violates the law. But now DeSantis may want to go further than the 15-week ban and simply prosecute everybody that he does not agree with like any little dictator.

    DeSantis signed the 15 week limit this April.
    He's too scared of losing votes in his 2x governor race to touch the heartbeat law with a 10 ft. pole.

    Snip:

    "Perhaps the highest profile flap of Warren’s tenure as prosecutor came during the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. In April 2020, the prosecutor supported the arrest of a megachurch pastor who had held church services in person. Then DeSantis signed an executive order allowing the in-person services to continue.

    In response, Warren called DeSantis’ move “weak” and “spineless.” The charges against the pastor were later dropped.

    Warren also criticized some of DeSantis’ legislative priorities. He said 2021′s HB

    1, the so-called “anti-riot” bill, was tantamount to “criminalizing peaceful protests.”

    He declined to prosecute 67 people arrested during the 2020 summer of protests over police brutality, enraging some conservatives.

    And following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the abortion precedent set by Roe v. Wade, Warren said he would not press charges against abortion patients. In a tweet, he reasoned that Florida’s Constitution has a clause protecting the right to privacy.

    That proclamation was one of DeSantis’ justifications for suspending the prosecutor.


    4. Warren has been accused of being funded by liberal out-of-state billionaires.

    On Thursday, in response to a question about whether it was appropriate to remove an elected official, DeSantis alluded to Warren’s campaign support from wealthy progressives hoping to remake the criminal justice system.

    “We can go back and look at some of these elections and all the money that’s coming in from people that do not live in Florida and are really trying to push an agenda on the people of Florida,” DeSantis said. (The governor has received tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions from out-of-state billionaires.)

    Rumors of support for Warren from financiers such as George Soros date back to 2016.

    According to a profile of Warren the Times published in 2020, Soros likely did help Warren’s campaign.

    “We understand that he gave money to the state (Democratic) party,” Warren said then. “And the state party money ... went to support different candidates. And I have very little insight into the amount of money he gave, who it went to, etc.”

    5. Tampa has seen more murders in recent years.

    Tampa’s violent crime rate has spiked in recent years, with the city in 2021 recording the most murders it had seen since 1994, according to statistics from the Tampa Police Department compiled by the Times editorial board.

    Although such crimes are up around the state and around the country, Tampa has seen somewhat more killings than most other cities in Florida, the editorial board said in April."

    What makes you think it's up to the ABA? Just more wishful thinking?

    I'm saying it's not always up to them. Rod Blagojevich (a Democrat) was elected by the voters of Illinois, but he was subsequently impeached, removed from office, indicted, convicted, and sent to prison, in spite of being "who the voters wanted."

    Whatever "Florida" he's describing is not the one I live in. Here in the Tampa Bay area we have nice roads, good schools, and full strip malls. Not that the latter concerns me all that much one way or the other. We also have no State Income Taxes, reasonable property taxes with a cap on increases (not that I consider any property taxes reasonable, but if we must have them, compared to elsewhere, they're not that bad), hot ass women, good nightlife, Champion professional sports teams, and fairly reasonable gun laws.

    I lived in carrollwood and citrus Park for 16 years. My family still lives there. I consider Tampa okay to visit but I'm glad I know longer live there. I guess I'm just spoiled being able to drive around where I live and not spending most of my day in traffic.
