Florida's new state motto should be "Because we Can't Stand Mississippi and Alabama Always Taking the Bottom Spot"

Remember the glorious days when a guy high on bath salts eating another guys face was a weird day in Florida?

This is what happens in third world countries and flyover states. Seems like Georgia is going the other direction. These people can just move a couple hundred miles north.

Interesting coincidence! "I'm not wanted" also happens to be Ron's campaign slogan for the 2024 Republican primary.
