What I want to know is: what does the vote of a Republican Senator cost these days? Can we start GoFundMe campaigns to get some things changed in our preferred direction?

Saving that for 2029.

They had a pretty rough go when beaver hats were in fashion…

I think he was unexpectedly successful in winning the 2016 election.

I also think that by mid 2017 “his” administration had built up collection of “advisors” who have been increasingly calling the shots since then. They give him “on brand” scripts to read, but he’s not personally orchestrating much of anything.

This is nothing new for Google, compliance with local laws…

As a business, they’re respecting the current US administration - probably weighing the likelihood of penalties depending on which side of the US legal system they choose to obey.

I’ve met both US Senators from Florida a couple of years before they got in the Senate. Neither of them gave the slightest impression of being a leader, in charge of their own destiny, or even a servant of the people. They were both just performers on a publicity tour, slaves to their schedules and scripts.

Yep, we’re going to have to train mainstream media how to filter them, or just boycott all monetized channels of MSM until they figure it out for themselves.

Rubio was a US Senator from Florida, before that he was a Florida state level legislator.

Local News Examining Rubio’s Home Sale miami March 8, 2016 / 2:50 PM EST / CBS Miami

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This story and video was originally posted on the CBS4 website on May 18, 2010. CBS4 News was the first to investigate the 2007 sale of Marco Rubio’s home in Miami. It is now being re-posted following a series of statements and campaign ads by Donald Trump questioning the ethics of the home sale. )

-------------ORIGINAL REPORT-------------------

In 2007, Florida’s no fault auto insurance law was set to expire. The law known as PIP – or personal injury protection – provides $10,000 in medical coverage for anyone in an auto accident.

Both Florida Governor Charlie Crist and the Florida Senate wanted to extend PIP. The only obstacle was the Florida House and its speaker, Marco Rubio, who believed PIP was rife with fraud and abuse.

“I started to study the issue and really became convinced that there was a serious fraud industry that had been built around it, largely through a combination of clinics and lawyers,” Rubio said recently. “So I was okay with PIP being extended but only if we dealt with the fraud issues, at least some anti fraud measures.”

Yet Rubio also gave the impression that he was willing to let PIP die.

“What I did obviously want was ultimate leverage and the threat that I was willing to let PIP go away,” he recalled.

Among those who supported PIP were Florida chiropractors, including Dr. Mark Cereceda, who operates a string of pain clinics throughout South Florida. Cereceda’s business depends on seeing PIP patients.

“I see a lot of PIP patients,” Cereceda said.

In the Spring and Summer of 2007, Cereceda mounted a campaign to pressure Rubio to allow PIP to continue. Accompanied by other chiropractors, Cereceda met with Rubio in Tallahassee. Cereceda also organized marches and demonstrations in front of Rubio’s West Miami office. He even hired four planes to fly banners over Rubio’s home and office urging him to keep PIP alive.

Rubio, who described Cereceda as “an acquaintance,” said he was aware of Cereceda’s campaign and that he Cereceda “was pretty excited about that issue.”

In the midst of all this lobbying, Mark Cereceda’s mother bought a house from Rubio, paying $380,000 in an all cash deal that was finalized in April 2007. Rubio had originally purchased the house in 2003 for $175,000.

“It was just a coincidence,” Mark Cereceda said of the sale.

Mark Cereceda, who lives on the same block as the Rubio house, said he noticed a “For Sale” sign in the front yard and recommended it to his mother.

Six months after the sale of the house was complete, Rubio wrote Gov. Crist a letter asking him to call a special session of the Florida Legislature. This time Rubio said he would support PIP.

“It had nothing to do with the house,” Cereceda said.

Nothing at all, I’m sure.

That’s how you get banned from the press pool.

Not just you, everyone reading.

They can’t make up their minds, on most things.

Grabbing as much pussmoney as they can get away with, that’s a constant.

These giant, greedy corporations are fucking pathetic…

“How can I cause the most disruption with the least harm?”

If you haven’t voted in the past, start immediately.

First participate in the existing process fully.

There are very few young politicians, we need more.

2 years. Think positively, act positively, make it happen.

2/3 control of the House and a clear majority in the Senate. Not enough to make an impeachment stick, but more than enough to stop the madness.

All in all UBI would be a huge win, the poor could do more with a STABLE small income than they do with the unreliable sources most of them operate off of now. The whole needs testing bureaucracy can just die, saving Billions in administrative costs. Services and stores for low income people could do much better when their clientele has reliable income instead of being flat broke most of the time.

In my view, if UBI is good enough, there’s no more need for minimum wage, let people volunteer if they want to, pay to work in some highly desirable jobs, that’s fine.

I believe the primary objection comes from the people who hire the poor, they can’t imagine people working without the imminent threat of starvation and homelessness. If that’s how your workplace operates, that needs to change. With UBI I believe a lot of workplaces would self-regulate better, because if they don’t their employees will just quit.
