The fact that the flames are coming from the passenger compartment (especially the rear-seat area) and that the car had been off for around an hour, means I'm gonna go ahead and speculate that her (probably bored-as-fuck) kids found a lighter in the car and started playing with it...

“This bill is 100% supposed to scare you,” says state Rep. Rick Roth, who intermittently waits on a translator to relay his words in Spanish. “I’m a farmer, and the farmers are mad as hell. We are losing employees. They’re already starting to move to Georgia and other states. It’s urgent that you talk to all your people and convince them that you have resources — state representatives and other people — that can explain the bill to you.”

Roth then randomly pivots to professing his adoration for both DeSantis and Donald Trump. 

“We had the best president in my life — in the last 30 years — and I’m still supporting Donald Trump. I love my governor. He’s the greatest governor in,” he’s heard saying before the clip cuts off.

Volunteers have been trained for military combat, including the use of weapons; khaki polo shirts and pants were replaced by camouflage uniforms; and recruits were “barked at” by boot camp instructors at the joint training base who woke them before dawn and imposed lights-out by 10pm.

Additionally, DeSantis’s compliant, Republican-led state legislature has contributed to the change of direction, this year approving a massive expansion in the force’s funding, size and equipment. Its budget increased from $10m to $107.5m, and its maximum size more than tripled from 400 recruits to 1,500.

On the governor’s shopping list were helicopters, boats, police powers and reportedly even cellphone-hacking technology for a force outside of federal jurisdiction, and accountable directly to him.

“The program got hijacked and turned into something that we were trying to stay away from: a militia,” Brian Newhouse, a retired navy veteran with 20 years’ experience, told the reporters.

Newhouse was originally chosen to lead one of the state guard’s three divisions, and said he was removed from the base near Jacksonville on the first day of training after raising his concerns with national guard staff who were acting as instructors.

whoa whoa whoa insurance companies making decisions to help their business? that’s not capitalism behaving exactly as designed, it’s wokeness! that Jimmy Patronus guy is pretty funny, like a goddamned cartoon character. it’s just ludicrous pulling the woke thing out. so sad that it keeps working on so many idiots.

turns out the florida pension fund owns about 700,000 shares ($50 million) of anheuser-busch (.co that owns bud lite) so meatball ron desantimonious now wants to go to war with the .co because they were trying to expand their client reach by appealing to LGBTQ+ community. guess he's not a free market capitalist anymore?
