[MushroomX]

Donald should Fire on Her like he did Heidi Cruz

Focus on her being a Nancy Reagan to DeSantis; she is the one in power, controlling DeSantis and Florida.

So you’re saying it’s not a problem for people who have never had claims to have the insurance payments see those kinds of spikes?

And if you’re gonna complain about the roof scams, what’s your opinion on the thousands of cases in Florida where an insurance company refuses to pay out, gets sued and then lose. Bad faith insurance claim denials are a huge issue.

Or to it put bluntly: fraud can’t account for insurance rates basically being 2nd mortgages in 2023.

But that’s just how insurance works. Insurance companies have to calculate risk and consider more than someone’s claim history. To me, it speaks volumes that insurers are opting out of doing business in the third most populous state in the country because the risk is not worth it to them.
Regarding the claim denials: companies need to abide by the terms of the agreement. If the law or the state has to force them to pay up, so be it. And like I said, it’s more than fraud. Construction costs have gone up significantly in the past 3 years.

Just listened to this podcast. They brought in a Republican Senator & a member of a not-for-profit Insurance Institute:

Inside Florida's property insurance crisis

Florida property insurance is a hot mess. One word: Litigation. In fact, more than 75% of all property insurance lawsuits in the United States originate in Florida.

Also listened to this one w/ a call-in segment:

Lawmakers tackle property insurance; DeSantis targets Florida prosecutor; the ‘cone of uncertainty

The conversation is more nuanced than I realized, but I think you are overlooking the counter-argument, that these companies, first and foremost, are often in it to extract as much money as possible from citizens. And so, for the government to be taking their side, giving them a $1 billion subsidy, all while allowing them to set the tone of the conversation (thanks to the documented +$150 million they have given via lobbying), it is basically letting the fox run the hen house.

On top of that, they want to want make it more and more difficult to sue Insurers 'to keep costs low' and DeSantis already allowed that. Previously, the law was that if an insurer was found at fault, they would be responsible for lawyer fees. Now, even if you correctly show that the insurer acted disingenuously, you are still on the hook for lawyer fees. My understanding is that unlike the other states, when an insurer rejects a claim in FL, there's no $$$ at stake for customers to see if they can get what they feel owed. Yes, it also leads to fraud, but it also leads to insurers being held more accountable. The issue is that the government solution is to reduce fraud while also refusing to hold insurers at the same level of accountability. That is why the solution seems heavy-handed and solely for the benefit of the insurers. In fact, it often doesn't benefit the customer:

Your speaking points are very much in lockstep w/ lobbyist/Republican talking points, but I do encourage you to check out other sources of information to see how the majority of customers are being screwed over, and how the government is subsidizing insurers and making their public option more expensive so that homeowners are more likely to pick a private plan that is 'cheaper' with a lot less coverage

I’ll check it out

The part in bold is seemingly on point. Except Reagan was legitimately a liberal and I seriously doubt this clown ever was. He's entirely too stupid

Yeah, but the more I see Casey, the more I see qualities of a Leader; Decisiveness, Clarity. When you put her up with Ron, Ron just seems more like a Spokesperson.

Maybe that's why he is very uncomfortable taking questions.

You're going to eventually see Republicans leverage this line of thought to align Desantis with Reagan because they know as well as we do, it's an exploitable weakness.

‘Are You BLIND?!’ DeSantis Loses It On Reporter Asking Him Why He Didn’t Take Questions from Voters

Ron DeSantis snapped at a reporter who pressed him about not taking audience questions following a campaign speech in New Hampshire.

desantis has the same problem jeb bush had in 2016
pence cristie, scott, and haley all pull from his base of supporters. He is not gonna pull from trump by trying to out woke him. He needs to start pivoting towards the center and consolidating the moderate republican votes

The "center" or "moderate" vote in the Republican primary will add up to like 20% AT MOST. It will probably be much less.

This notion of a "moderate" lane in the Republican primary is just ridiculous.

Ain't it fun, living in that real world...

Ron thought it was one way but it's going to be the other.

Forgot about this video. Hayley blindfolded? One for the wank bank.

What do you mean by Reagan being a liberal? You mean like when he was young and he voted for FDR?

DeSantis Is Scheming to Steal the Right-Wing Influencer Vote From Trump

The former president has an extremely online army, but sources tell Rolling Stone that Team DeSantis has tried to peel off influencers, offering access and (in one case) a job

DeSantis Is Scheming to Steal the Right-Wing Influencer Vote From Trump​

The Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis teams are fighting each other for donors, endorsements, and staff. But behind the scenes, the Republican rivals are competing on a different, unconventional playing field: the scramble to secure online influencers.

Trump has for years had an army of extremely online supporters only too happy to engage in meme wars on behalf of the former reality-show host. But sources tell Rolling Stone that Team DeSantis has tried to peel off influencers from the MAGA camp, offering access and (in one case) a job to buttress the governor’s online army.

One of the bigger prizes in this social media contest between the Trump and DeSantis camps is The Babylon Bee, a satirical news site that positions itself as a conservative answer to The Onion. During his presidency, Trump had approvingly retweeted the site’s stories (at times appearing unaware they were fake), and the Bee reciprocated the affection with shots at the president’s enemies.

But in February, the relationship between Trumpworld and the Bee soured when anti-Muslim activist and far-right Trump backer Laura Loomer noticed a $21,500 payment from the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC to the Bee made during the governor’s race and tweeted that Seth Dillon — owner of The Babylon Bee — had claimed to her that the money was for “joke/speechwriting.” In text messages reviewed by Rolling Stone, Dillon claimed to Loomer that the payments were about helping DeSantis fight Democrats, not Trump.

“You could consider us speech writing consultants,” Dillon texted Loomer in one message. “We help him find funny angles on Democrats. We don’t attack Trump for him. That’s silly and false. They have never suggested that we write anything about Trump.”

Behind the scenes, the revelation prompted fury from Trump. A source familiar with the situation tells Rolling Stone that Loomer flagged the payments to Trump during a private dinner. Shortly after, Trump took to his Truth Social account to blast both DeSantis and The Babylon Bee.

“You don’t spend that much money on The Babylon Bee if you’re running for Governor, in fact, you don’t spend money on The Babylon Bee if you’re running for anything!” he wrote.

Some Trump supporters had already been suspicious of the relationship between Dillon and DeSantis. The Bee owner contributed roughly $40,000 to the Florida-based pro-DeSantis Empower Parents PAC shortly before the governor’s reelection in November 2022. DeSantis also invited Dillon to speak at his February press conference rolling out a “Digital Bill of Rights” after the exchange with Loomer, where the Bee executive said he was “thankful to have leadership here in Florida” that was “willing to take action to ensure we all have the right to speak and, yes, to even make jokes in the public square.”

He and his wife are a perfect match. Both social climbers who see in each other what they don’t or can’t obtain themselves. He’s an overachiever too insecure to ever dare try to sit at the cool table. She has the ambition but has always been seen as too much of a bimbo to be accepted by the power class.


In other news this is great.
