If it’s a popsicle I know an appropriate place for the stick to go when the kid is done with it.

I thought Libruls were supposed to be the nanny-state matrons forcing everyone to eat kale and taking away their freedom foods? This would be a significant event in civil war 2.0 if Michelle Obama had done this (which she has way too much class to have done…)

Why does Ron DeSantis want to put America’s hardworking sugar growers out of business?

American sugar growers receive an average of $700,000 per year in subsidies, per grower, through a policy of artificial price supports that makes sugar about twice as expensive in the US compared to the rest of the world. Florida has been the leading sugar-growing state in the US for more than a decade.
Maybe the question was being asked in admiration.

Body-shaming women and girls is very much on brand for conservatives though.

This is the thought process: “Must look natural. Uh oh, a small human. I must interact with the small human in a natural way. Perhaps discussing the small human’s dietary choices will suffice.”
(Followed by: “Well, I think that went well. Nobody noticed.”)

Didn’t conservatives years ago throw a fit about Michelle Obama trying to get kids to eat healthier and some of them gave kids cookies at events to poke fun at her?

I’d be just as happy for Anthony to send him to the cornfield.

you don’t have icee in MN? the little polrar bear in the blue and red stripe sweater? like a little (non-alcoholic) strawberry margarita for kids. and yeah! a LOT of sugar or HFCS. used to be a staple at convenience stores like 7-11 and ShortStop type gas stations.
nonetheless, desantis taking his tone with this young person only points to the absolute disconnect of fascist MoRon from everyday “normal” folk.
he is an asshole and that is all I have to say about that
