Florida official says Rashida Tlaib might "blow up the Capitol Building!" Signs petition to remove Tlaib from office.
It's just too bad that official doesn't live in Tlaib's Michigan district.
Florida has No problems needing to be solved? How wonderful for them!
I live in Florida. One has to remember that prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the Republican Party was so weak in Florida that there was not even a Republican primary. The Republican party in Florida is ruled by racism and by the culture of greed.
@F-IM-Forty Correct in some ways. Prior to 1964, the Republican party was the party of Lincoln. Today it is the party of greed, corruption, ethnocentrism and right wing ideologues.
Back then most southern Democrats were racist populists. Now they are the party truly for all of the people and for preservation and expansion of democracy..
Everyone who lives in Florida should be eaten by gators... Just sayin... Nothing good ever comes from there. No see-ums, fire ants and cockroaches the size of a Buick.... Let the sinkholes take what the gators don't eat!
You know the definition of bias, don't you? Just sayin'
@maturin1919 PERFECT!
@maturin1919 Touche!
You apparently have never heard of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers....which are Florida's finest contribution to the world. But, seriously, all states have have issues and wishing harm upon the whole population seems unnecessarily harsh.
Need another southern border wall.
@maturin1919 Yeah, A wall around texasstan is reasonable. And they can pay for it.
Forget the size of the cockroaches, you missed the worst part. THEY FUCKING FLY.

While in the US Navy I visited many Countries. Israel was the only country I visited that I was told not to go to the Arab Ghetto... reason why... something happen somewhere you may not have enough time to explain you are American. It is a Different Ballgame with Israel and Arabs..... D I F F E R E N T.
She is a local commissioner not a colleague of Rachida. It sounds like she got over emotional about Rachida being photographed with an anti-Israel activist. I thought this was for sure just blatant Republican racism till I read that she is she is an Israeli born registered Democrat. She's human. She got emotional about something that is a big deal to her. I kinda hate it
when headlines seek to mislead and rile up more hate just for clicks.
I am bothered by this trend of people taking fall for not supporting Isreal 100%. I don't know to much about it but it seems more complicated than being an anti semite or not. Civil Rights leader Angela Davis recently lost an award due to being anti-isreal (for civil rights reasons as I understand).
It seems like in my kids school whenever they talk about bigotry or about cultural inclusiveness they almost exclusively use Jewish people as the example. We don't have Jewish population here. Most of these kids don't know Jewish people but they do know black and latino people. It seems like an attempt to soften and whitewash the problem. It let's them say how bad the holocaust was in Germany and not talk about slavery, jim crow, and current issues facing Hispanic population.
