I don't know what year it was I first went to a Seminole casino, but at that time it seemed mostly staffed by them. Last time I went they seem to have pretty much outsourced to other people.

Was curious what the set-up netted them. This is from 2007. Probably higher now.

Each member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, even children, now receives a monthly dividend check of $7,000, or $84,000 annually, as his or her share of money made mostly from casinos. The Seminoles have about 3,300 members living on and off Florida reservations.Jan 2, 2007

Kenarman, keep clinging to the false hope that Big Tits’s lawyers will be able to nullify this!

A bill banning most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy passed the Florida Senate on Monday, moving it one step closer to the governor’s desk.


I wonder if it would be legal to go just outside our territorial waters and get an abortion on a ship. Seems to work for gambling.

Whether he gets the nomination or not, that should finish the Republicans once and for all in 2024. Dems got 69% of the single female vote in 2022, They will get 90% in 2024.

'Florida Senate passes 6-week abortion ban backed by DeSantis'

Today he signed another law.

'DeSantis Signs Law Allowing Concealed Guns To Be Carried In Florida Without Permits'

No background checks or firearms training required.

'Florida’s Senate voted 27-13 last week to pass the bill, which would do away with Florida’s requirement under state law to obtain a concealed weapons permit and undergo background checks and firearms training in order to carry a concealed gun'

It is already being done and has been for decades.

Whaaaa?

Right wing policies are unpopular with the majority of Americans?

Who could’ve known?!

You still have to pass a background check to buy the gun.

Not necessarily.

Federal background checks only apply to licensed dealers.

'Federal law, which applies in all states, requires criminal background checks for all firearm sales and transfers by licensed dealers, but does not require background checks or any process for sales or transfers by unlicensed sellers.'

Under the new Florida law, sales or transfers of firearms by unlicensed firearms sellers, do not require a background check.
