Item Found Suspended Between the Pit of “Blogging Is Dead” and the Summit of “Time for Another Blogger Ethics Panel”

 

From Business Insider:

A new bill in Florida would require bloggers writing about Ron DeSantis to register with the state or be fined.

The bill was introduced in the Florida Senate on February 28 by GOP lawmaker Jason Brodeur. S.B. 1316 would require any blogger who writes about DeSantis — and is paid for their work — to register with the state ethics commission or the Florida Office of Legislative Services. They must do so within five days of their first post. 

Bloggers would also be required to register with the state if they write anything about Florida's lieutenant governor, a cabinet officer, or any member of the Florida legislature, per the bill. 

S.B. 1316 would mandate that bloggers submit monthly reports about their work if they write about elected officials, including how much payment they received for their articles, rounded to the nearest $10, and the name of the "individual or entity" who paid them...

IANAL, but isn't that, you know, blatantly unconstitutional (1st Amdt)?

Seventeen years, I've never been paid anything.

And what about bloggers 3,000 miles away?

There's plenty to say ...

The Hoover class are paying top dollars .

Have experience in NAZI? Do you possess any oath Keeper strategizing? Do you have the artful skill of avoiding truth? Have the acting talent to lie with a straight face?
If so, the Hoover class is hiring. They need FOX TV Celebs, lawyers, Fixers, shoe shiners, politicians and mostly impersonators. Also known as bull shit artists and Bull shit mountain climbers.

And some day the GOP voters who relish a republican dictator president who is above the law and lose all their rights to vote in the future. To vote out a congressman that doesn;t represent them.

When they get what they cheered for . Only to find outonce he becomes a dictator all those republican/conservative,/ religious values, all those free market ideals. All that freedom stuff they always wanted to take away from other people.
They find out their dictator has shed all that republican/ religious/ conservative principles they held so dear.

Like not paying taxes. Finding out only the wealthy will not pay taxes and everyone else pays through the nose more than they ever could imagine because the dictator has spoken and needs your money to live like a king dictator.

That 2nd Amendment right to pry it out of your cold dead hands. Putin already does that.
