Is it just me, or do Florida Republicans just really hate not being evil?

We talk a lot of shit about Florida—about how it’s filled with crazy white people, how it looks like America’s dong and how the GOP dicks in office reflect that image—and sometimes I do feel like the state gets a bad rap...but not today.

On Thursday, a Florida state senator from the Republican Order of the Sith proposed a measure that would block felons from being included in the $15 minimum wage increase that the state approved last year. I mean, who wouldn’t think it’s a good idea to restrict the formerly incarcerated, who already have plenty of obstacles in finding gainful employment, from earning a livable wage on the outside, amirite? Who knew the law-and-order GOP was so pro-recidivism?

1. Any reason why Jeffrey Brandes (R-St. Petersburg) can't be identified?

His assholery should be revealed to the entire world.

2. It costs $35K to $40K to lock someone up in jail.

After they pay their debt to society why make life difficult to impossible for them ?

Jack-booted hatred and Fascist revenge.

4. They aren't excluded from minimum wage laws now. How is it legal or

constitutional to exclude them in the future?

5. Cruelty....and ignorance

Do we or do we not want these sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, moms and dads to succeed outside of prison? It seems so obvious that this would be more likely to send them back to prison, from pure desperation.
Eff these assholes.
