Florida GOP candidate threatens to call "hit squad" on opponent

Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, a Republican congressional candidate threatened to put out a hit on a (female) primary opponent using a Urkainian and/or Russian hit squad. You thought soap opera storylines are ridiculous?

Aren't we so happy that Florida is getting more House seats soon?

Pretty standard for the GOP these days

Not the GOP. Wannabe candidate.

Nope, that's the GOP in a nutshell.

It's the type of thing Trump would have "joked" about, and you can't get more GOP than that.

Lanz hasn't disagreed, so you must be right.

It's not our fault that people are fleeing the northeast for affordable living and better job opportunities.

Including as hitmen.

It speaks volumes as to how much the GOP actually cares about American jobs that this guy was gonna outsource firing guns at someone to Russia/Ukrainian nationals.

Trailer parks and meth dealing? No thanks.

Or maybe just didn't trust an American to get it done?

Shifty buggers. Can't trust 'em.

Republicans killing off other Republicans. What am I missing? What's the down side?

Their aim isn't very good.

Florida is two very different States with The House of The Mouse being the line of demarcation. Housing prices are stupid in and around Orlando and south of there. North of Orlando is South Georgia and South Alabama, but with more meth and a dangerously large dose of Florida Man.

No thanks, compadre.

Even being a Miami Marlins fan is a big step up from being a NY Jets fan.

No no, this is way more entertaining, to be honest

No. I'd rather those kinds of storylines be limited to soap operas. Not that I wouldn't want it reported if it was happening in reality. I just wish it wasn't happening in reality and only in soap operas.

I mean, I agree but I wasn't kidding when I said soaps are dull as dishwater nowadays.

There's a reason why most people in my generation never got into them when it's all about one guy having two women fight over him for ten years and petty rich people shit no one cares about.

Figured my posting history would've made that clear that this shouldn't be a norm, but....

I, honestly, didn't even think Soaps were a thing anymore.

What about operas?

I've never actually been to an opera. But, my dad had one on VHS way back in the day. Probably had one or two on albums, but I don't remember. He had a huge album collection. Anyway, I've no idea what the opera was about (the one on VHS), but I couldn't get into it because I couldn't understand the words. I know it's the melody that is supposed to evoke an emotional response, but without context, the melody means nothing to me. I am not much of a connoisseur of ... just music without lyrics. The younger son is though. But, those are mostly movie and gaming soundtracks.

I do like Looney Tunes, though

I always wondered why they were called soap operas. There's no singing. And you don't need those funny binoculars.

Concept albums, another dying art.
