Examples

“In 2012 in Florida, a staggering 88% of all license⟳ suspensions were due to failure to comply with summons or fines, which is insane. It also leaves only 12% for Florida’s other most common violations: accidentally taking your golf cart on the freeway, feeding meth to an alligator, feeding an alligator to a meth dealer, and being an alligator meth dealer. Florida!”
“The vote⟳ was 213-209 along party lines. Republican members of the House Ethics Committee – Michael Guest of Mississippi, Dave Joyce of Ohio, Andrew Garbarino of New York, John Rutherford of Florida and Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota – voted present⟳. GOP Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado also voted present⟳ but he is not on the Ethics Committee.”
