Bill Kottel: Republican politicians in Florida are arranged to show loyalty to Trump – Talahasi Democrat

In addition to its official obligations, such as the adoption of laws and the leadership of the government, Republican politicians in Florida seem to be determined to show devotion to anything that President Donald Trump has ever said, over, or can think of in the future.

American representative Anna Paulina Luna looks like a momentary front runner at Cringeworthy Flattery. She introduced a bill directing the US Department of Interior to carve Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore.

“Honest” and that the man “I can’t say a lie” can get up and leave if the neighborhood goes to hell. But Luna believes that “the bold leadership and the unwavering dedication to the greatness of America” ​​make it fit to look at Southern Dakota Badlands forever.

The idea of ​​the Congress of the Pinellas County will probably not go far in the congress, given the little GOP majority in the House. But the sponsorship of the bill assured the little known for the second time a day or two of the media attention and gives the rights to the moon if anyone tries to outsmart it in a Republican primary first time.

And Trump himself is known for preferring betrayal, located with a dump truck.

Meanwhile, at home in Florida, legislative leaders have split with governor Ron Ron Ron and decided Trump’s brand as aggressively deporting illegal immigrants is the new cool thing for this year. Hoghodis had called a special legislative session to prepare Florida for Trump’s illegal immigration repression, but the chamber and the Senate leaders had taken the topic of him politically and literally.

First, the Senate President Ben Albrite and Chamber Chairman Daniel Perez gave up the special session of the governor and immediately convened one of them, only to determine the agenda. Then they canceled a budget veto of Desantis from last year, which is something like leaving a horse’s head in his bed. And then they postponed some other business that the governor wanted, and wrote their own bill for immigration repression.

For their next middle finger, aimed at the governor, Perez and Albrite stretched really strongly and found the most forthcoming, acronym for a fan-mom who can introduce themselves to their legislation. They called it the Trump Act – to “handle and reform illegal migration policy”.

A few years ago, Albrite and Perez may have called it a landing law – to “deport every extraterrestrial national that I see” – the opposite when he managed everything. But Trump is the subject of their worship now, not a landing.

No legislation has stressed so hard for a memorable label after the 1986 petition campaign, creating the State Lottery called a move – which means “a margin of victory for education.” .

People united for medical marijuana – an abbreviation pronounced “Puff ‘Em” – was a pretty catchy label for the first efforts to legalize medical marijuana. But it was not almost as neat as the Trump Act.

Even better, there is extra pleasure to make the Democrats tremble every time they say it, such as when Republicans named Florida about Ronald Reagan in 1998.

The clearest signal that the six-year dominance of the Chamber and the Senate of the Union ended when the legislature decided to provide a title to the powers of the immigration police not in his office but with the Agricultural Commissioner Wilton Simpson.

Tanning and Simpson are not the best of friends. Simpson is considered a probable candidate to succeed in two years when the governor cannot re -run. Department claims that the placement of a commissioner on agriculture responsible for the illegal implementation of immigration would be literally “placing the fox in the house of hens” because agriculture is highly dependent on labor migrants.

Simpson, Albrite and Perez spoke of their dedication to help Trump during the special session. Simpson even rejected a reference to a landing, which runs against the president in last year’s primers who did not end well for the governor.

But even in his hooks, duck, landing remains the most powerful Republican in Florida. For two more years, he will appoint people to major offices and will sign either veto accounts and budget positions that are vital to the ambitions of legislators.

Svetla and early on the day after the special session, the Union began to campaign against the legislative package, saying that it would actually weaken the implementation of immigration and make Florida a “factual sanctuary”. And he swore to veto the Trump Act veto, assuring that the issue of immigration – his new feud with the leaders of the Chamber and the Senate – will overcome the legislative session in 2025 and then.
