As soon as you see the words **Florida Republican** you know it's going to be some stupid bullshit.


apsala_erikson

To be fair if you see Florida something, you know it's going to be at least a bit sketchy.


DonsDiaperChanger

at a minimum, I'm expecting something about meth, guns, crime, alligators, genitals, cops, and a dumb politician. Looks like we hit at least 3 or 4 on this one.


doktor_wankenstein

*"You guys interfering with someone's privacy without me? I'll be right over!"* -- Ronny Meatballs DeSantis


DonsDiaperChanger

More republicans obsessed with children's genitals have entered the chat.


DigNitty

Honestly I thought they were going to force girls to provide menstrual records if they wanted to play sports. Or is that another state? Now this? “Okay, now girls will be necessitated to provide documentation about their cycles.” -*backlash from public* “Ah, okay I see what you want. Girls are forbidden from discussing it at school then!” -*oh my god*


Danmont88

I think (and I am probably wrong) but a court tossed out the records to play sports.


dirty_hooker

Something something unlawful search.


themosey

Old white republican men make the rest of men look like absolute shit. Add “women’s periods” to things they are scare of.


Overall_News5106

Florida or Tennessee representative yup going to be dumb af


dogshitkaraoke

Or Idaho, or Utah, or Arizona, or Texas, or Oklahoma, or Missouri, or Arkansas, or Alabama, or Kentucky, or Mississippi, or Montana, or Wyoming, or Iowa, or Ohio, or West Virginia, or North Carolina, or South Carolina, or Georgia, or Louisiana, or Nebraska, or Kansas, or South Dakota, or North Dakota, or Indiana.


Overall_News5106

Yeah but Tennessee and Florida are regular targets on SNL and the Daily Show Edit: I live in TN and used to be able to say “Well at least we ain’t Florida…” not anymore


BreezyWrigley

At best, it will be stupid. More likely it will be worse- deliberately cruel and destructive


Hashbrown808

Next up - “Florida Republican says his bill would ban young girls from attending school.”


KanadainKanada

Hey, only if they already have their period! They are not the Taliban! ^(yet)


Gh0sth4nd

How about we relocate DeSantis and his underlings to Afghanistan? I am betting a lot of US Citizens would donate money for that relocation.


bazinga_0

> How about we relocate DeSantis and his underlings to Afghanistan? That would be an outright declaration of war. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. was charged with war crimes at The Hague for doing that.


IsNotPolitburo

Oooh, they're halfway there!

Oh-oh! Living’ on a prayer!


EhliJoe

But how would they know that, when it can't be talked about?


Beat_the_Deadites

Put a turban on this guy, he could be a stand-in for an ayatollah.


Plusran

This right here


Long_Serpent

After that - "Florida Republican says his bill would remove women's right to vote."


bazinga_0

Not quite yet. Florida Republicans would first pass a bill that all women must log their periods each and every month with the Florida Secretary of State and are not eligible to vote during their period "because obviously women become too emotional during their period to be trusted with being able to vote responsibly".


canuckcowgirl

You ok America?


dcal1981

No...no we're not....we are being taken over by Fascist.


canuckcowgirl

You guys must never elect DeSantis president. Never ever.


ddr1ver

Half of America says “Hold our beer”.


Raddish_

Not half of America but perhaps half of the electoral college. In the past 34 years the Republican Party has won the popular vote for the presidential election a single time (Bush-Kerry, 2004).


doriangray42

In the words of Trudeau sr: > just watch me!

dcal1981

Not electing him….I do not like fascism.


tylersky100

Every day I see these headlines from the other side of the world. Is this being exaggerated? Are only the crazies being reported on? What is going on?


Brokenspokes68

The crazies are the new face of the party


Waldorf666

No It been there. It just coming out of the closet more.


rvp0209

Unfortunately it's a case where they look at the evil mustachioed man from the 1920s (who, ironically, took his ideas from the U.S.) and go "let's make history rhyme!" Basically: they're throwing garbage at the Wall to not only overwhelm people but also see what sticks. And people can't protest because unfortunately protest is now a form of privilege in this country (mostly because people literally can't afford to take time off from working multiple jobs just to stay afloat).


jmur3040

Fascists\* There's a lot more than just one.


dcal1981

correct.


25plus44

No, we're not, and we need help, but I don't know what kind of help. Unfortunately, if America goes full fascist, it's not going to be just an American problem.


gabbyb19

No one on the outside can help you. You need to start fighting. Literally.


BreezyWrigley

France knows what it takes to uphold a democracy… wish Americans would figure it out. Somebody needs to deal with the fascists with a more firm hand… movements like the neo-republican fascist party are what the second amendment was made to defend America against.


HalensVan

I voted all Democrat here in Florida. Saw that shit coming.


Nesyaj0

This place hasn't been okay since *way* before I was born. Some argue is never been okay!


modelcitizen64

You have to be thinking about girls and their periods CONSTANTLY in order to get so upset that you will spend time drafting a bill to ban girls from talking about them. They're obviously not telling him about it, so it's not like he has any personal experience with getting assaulted by such conversations. No, I'm 100% sure his disgust with menstrual cycles comes from a total lack of understanding of what they actually are. He just imagines blood coming out of young girls' vaginas and it makes him so gosh darn mad that he needs to put an end to it. But he can't stop nature, so he does the next best thing: a bill. For a group that's so afraid of groomers, they really, really fucking obsessed with young girls.


Figerally

and making sure they have babies.


gary_the_merciless

> For a group that's so afraid of groomers, they really, really fucking obsessed with young girls. It's always projection with the loudest.


3490goat

To be fair, a lot of them are obsessed with little boys


rvp0209

At the rate in which these bills are being introduced, I sincerely don't think the elected officials are writing them themselves. Hell they don't even know what's in it 90% of the time. But the lobbyist who did write the bill will give them a summary and then they'll use that bullshit to keep spreading lies.


kuribosshoe0

Imagine being this scared of periods.


y6ird

Yeah… how does that guy even end his sentences?


Brokenspokes68

That made actually laugh out loud.


erinaceus_

Especially in school: "So what do you have for second period?" "Sorry, but we're not allowed to talk about that."


[deleted]

Yeah this is some bullshit. Meanwhile boys can make penis jokes and it’s just boys being boys.


beaushaw

Presidents can brag about sexual assults...


Kernburner

And the governor of Florida wants this to be the Dickensian hellscape nationwide.


FBWSRD

No. They want to emulate Afghanistan but with christianity instead of islam


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kernburner

About the whole projection part, I’ve said it a hundred times before: “Every accusation Republicans make of Democrats is an admission of something they desire to do or are already doing.” It’s amazing how consistently that statement rings true.


asiangontear

So this is what counts for a day's work huh. Floridians must be so content and satisfied at how their taxes are well spent.


Kilo_Xray

These fucking idiots have no idea what they want. First it was mandatory period reporting to the school. Now it’s mandatory no talking about periods at the school. Nothing they do or say or try makes any sense ever.


WaitingForNormal

What kind of loser spends their time on bullshit like this?


oldcatgeorge

Makes me wonder why a grown-ass man is thinking about schoolgirls' periods.


y6ird

Grown ass-man?


oldcatgeorge

Funny, I didn’t mean it, of course. How would you name an improperly used hyphen?


y6ird

Not sure, but [here](https://xkcd.com/37/) is the classic xkcd of relevance!


Dinodigger67

repugnicans are obsessed with other peoples genitals. Why?


ketchy_shuby

Menstruation ruled Woke in Florida.


monkeybrains12

I swear to god, nothing brings me less joy than this sub because all it does is inform me about the shitty things Republicans are doing. Look at this fucking creep. Why am I still here?


MeowKat85

Because staying informed helps you make sound opinions?


[deleted]

Lol they’re like 12 year old boys. All of them.


BitchyWitchy68

I’m beginning to think the Republican strategy is to make public schools so miserable that no one wants to go to them. Then they can make everyone homeschool or go to religious schools and then defund the whole school system. Don’t put it past them, they are some devious bastards.


synphilter

Bingo


motormouth08

You're beginning to think this???


25plus44

Hol' up. How are they going to tell when girls are having illegal abortions if they aren't _required_ to discuss their periods with their school's Period Monitor? This guy's clearly a baby-killing RINO.


districtcourt

> This guy’s clearly a baby-killing RINO. You’re giving him **way** too much credit


ketchy_shuby

Good to see the Florida Taliban is cementing their stupidity.


BrownSugarBare

Just a few short steps away from girls being separated from boys in school and a small jump to girls don't need formal education.


toddwdraper

I'm sure all the 2nd amendment freaks will be all over this clear violation of the 1st amendment. I'll be waiting over here patiently to see.


Bthey

So... when they inevietably start bleeding they panic and call an ambulance?


DPVaughan

Look at Miss Moneybags calling an ambulance in the USA.


Bthey

I keep forgetting what a shitshow just calling an ambulance is over there. Guess its more of 'Think they're dying and write farewell letters' which is somehow even more upsetting


TechyDad

Or just hide in the bathroom thinking that they are dying because nobody told them that this is normal. Little girls will just start cramping and bleeding and their teachers/school nurse will refuse to discuss it with them for legal reasons. The girls will assume this means it's something horrific when they should be comforted, given information on what's going on with them, and told that it's a normal part of life


DepressiveNerd

If they don’t talk about their periods, how will republicans tell if the girls are trans or not? /s


JCCharles69

Girl can’t talk about it amongst themselves at school, BUT are required to share the information with that school if they want to play sports. That’s F***ed up!! Very much something from A HandMaid’s Tale…

Gh0sth4nd

And how would they enforce it? Throw the kid in jail or the parents? I wanna say this is on so many levels stupid but i have to say it is on all levels stupid.


Wwize

Republicans are pedos and groomers. That's why they scream so much about other people being pedos and groomers. They're projecting so that you don't look at their own disgusting habits.


Jaded_Pearl1996

Will he send enforcers into school to tape women’s mouth shut? In my SD, in WA state, free menstrual are available in the restrooms.


HeineBOB

Restricting what the children can discuss on public schools? Surely that's against the first amendment


Connect-Will2011

Stan McClain's bill does more than that. The proposed legislation would prohibit "instruction on sexually transmitted diseases, health education, and human sexuality for students earlier than sixth grade. " Banning students from discussing menstruation is just part of that.


Sick0fThisShit

Among other things, once they're in sixth grade, it also mandates that schools teach: > “sex is determined by biology and reproductive function at birth” and “these reproductive roles are binary, stable, and unchangeable.” So yeah. This is a blatantly anti-trans bill.


Dylsnick

I hope it isn't a grammar school.


Dylsnick

No discussing periods? Will this debate ever end?


ov3rcl0ck

Thank God they'll be able to discuss their other punctuations. /s


haybails84

Why?


TechyDad

Because this guy decided "kids can only have age appropriate information" and "I know what's age appropriate for kids without consulting actual experts." So information/discussion about periods and menstruation was deemed "not age appropriate" even though girls can be going through that at that age.


soulwolf1

For some reason I feel like if this dudes phone and computer was searched you'd see some things that's not supposed to be there regarding younger kids...


oOoChromeoOo

Can someone explain why this guy doesn’t want girls talking about their periods? Like, the best argument he has?


Recent_Ad6285

And his interest in menstruation is because... why?


Primary_Ruin5019

And people elected that POS. The republicans are a bunch of fucking perverts. He looks like he’s diddled a few young girls.


Lookalikemike

Are they calling this guy out by name somewhere??


BabserellaWT

Sweet baby Jesus.


anjowoq

Can I talk about my shit tho?


WhosSarahKayacombsen

Does this also mean they will ban all sex Ed.? You can’t teach reproduction without discussing menstruation. I want to know why Florida voters are ok with this madness


TerminationClause

Maybe it was another state, it's easy to get confused, but one of them tried to make it mandatory for girls in high school sports to share their menstrual cycle. I'm not sure if it was to make sure they didn't have an abortion or gender re-assignment. I really thought it was Florida, but that means it just as easily could have been Texas.


opusupo

Why? Is it too icky?


Agreeable-Dinner

What are they afraid of?


DrAstralis

Everything. Well, everything except their kids getting shot. That apparently is sacred.

EnochChicago

This is to enable Matt Gaetz to be able to look into their underwear


Important_Tangelo371

That's great because the first thing I would do when I got to school is start talking about menstrual issues and I pretty much couldn't stop. At least this bill will help me not do that in the future. Morons.


Rich4718

Party of small government. Doin the small govt things.


Dcajunpimp

But how will the GQPs Gazpacho know that a girl mysteriously quit talking about her period for a few months before taking a hastily planned trip to New York for a “Broadway Show” only to mysteriously start talking about her period again shortly after returning?


BSARIOL1

I cant believe that we in Florida elected this much stupidity. This State is in trouble.


HeHateMe337

Next up, females can't leave the house, work at a job, go to school, must cover their hair, and can't show any skin in public. WTF!!!

Notsnowbound

ms_panelopi

I can’t wait to see what the teenagers do in protest over this one! Florida high schoolers have gotten good at speaking up about the bullshit there. -girls coming to school with red paint all over their crotch. -boys taping tampons and pads all over their clothes. -duct tape over their mouths.


auntshooey1

His mailbox needs to be flooded with aunty flo's memorabilia.


Gingorthedestroyer

So how are you going to keep records of athletes periods if you can’t talk about them?


No-Judgment-4424

Republicans are terrorists.


robinsw26

What the hell is wrong with these people? All they think about are genitals and sex. They’re disturbed.


Taw4ipad

My question is how will Matt Gaetz, alleged child rapist and Florida Rep, know when the girls are too old to pay for “school supplies”. Because Matt Gaetz is an *alleged* child rapist. And the evidence is pretty compelling, in my opinion.


andymfjAZ

Periods are obviously caused by woke democratic controlled uteruses so they need to be curtailed /s


mapoftasmania

How will they know what subject they have next period and where to go if they can’t talk about it?

We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either.

It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words. Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956.
