,,,Imperialism is the state policy, practice, or advocacy of extending power and supremacy by direct territorial acquisition, or by gaining political and economic control of other areas, often through employing brutal and violent power, especially military force, but also ‘muted’ (political, psychological, and economic) power. While related to the concepts of colonialism and empire, imperialism is a distinct evil ideology that can apply to many forms of expansion and many forms of governance, all bent on conquest and total control over territory, property, and populations.

The disfunction in congress has lead to the executive branch starting wars we should not have engaged in. The disfunction in congress has allowed the SC to legislate from the bench. Time to fix congress by introducing measures like term limits and banning of insider trading.

I cant stress this enough Florida is lucky to have a gov like desantis.
Desantis not only going harder on big Pharma but also daring Disney to move out of Florida while its stocks are and were losing billions?
Genius.
Most current woke governors dont have the guts to do what his admin did.

I agree, but, what decent person in their right mind would want to run? I have a friend who ran for Mayor a few years ago. Because he was running as a Republican there was so much made up crap thrown out and the local Left leaning newspaper printed all of it. Despite that he ended up winning.
The City's finances were not good at the time ( they are still not good) so he started looking into how to cut costs. Well that put him on the Police and Firefighter's Unions radar.
Various groups where having festivals downtown where a lot of money was being made. He asked that those groups commit some funds to go towards Police overtime for those festivals. He also ordered the Police to enforce the laws on the public consumption of alcohol.
The next election The Unions and the people profiting off the festivals bought and paid for a candidate to run against him.
As I said Why would any decent person want the job?

Actually the Supreme Court is doing their job. They are not ruling on anything. They just said that this isn't covered by the Federal Government. Authority on this is handed to the States.
