A spokeswoman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) this week registered as a foreign agent of a former president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, belatedly detailing work she performed for the politician between 2018 and 2020.
The spokeswoman, Christina Pushaw, made the disclosure following contact from the Justice Department, according to her attorney, Michael Sherwin. She began her work in 2018 as a volunteer in the post-Soviet country, Sherwin said, and was ultimately paid $25,000 over the course of two years. She received her first payment, of $10,000 in October 2018, in cash, according to her filing. She stayed for free for six weeks in an apartment owned by a Saakashvili associate.
“Her efforts included writing op-eds, reaching out to supporters and officials, and advocating on his behalf in Georgia and in the United States,” Sherwin said. “The work ended in 2020. Ms. Pushaw was notified recently by the DOJ that her work on behalf of Mr. Saakashvilli likely required FARA registration. Ms. Pushaw filed for the registration retroactively as soon as she was made aware.”

Another way to put it.

Re: Ron DeSantis
Now I'm depressed. I hate this shit. It doesn't stop. My earliest playmates had parents who survived nazi death camps as children. They had no other relatives alive. As a young adult, one of my coworkers had been sent as a baby to the US for safety, and all of his family in Europe was killed.
I'm horrified that antisemitism is on the rise.

Re: Ron DeSantis
Also thanks to James A. Michener whose book "Tales of the South Pacific", which has strong anti racism themes, was the basis for the musical.
During the early performances in Connecticut Rogers, Hammerstein and Michener got a lot of complaints from audiences about this song and the fact that the character of Emile De Becque had mixed race children.
The play was too long. It would have been easy to cut the song but they stood their ground.

Not clear why all those boats are going in different directions.
Or maybe it is.

They should do it in front of Mar-a-Lago.

I seem to remember a T flotillia in AZ where they successfully sunk their own boats
Re: Ron DeSantis
There was one on Lake Travis TX in Sept 5, 2020, 5 boats sunk.

Re: Ron DeSantis
They sank a family in a small boat in Oregon too, also, at one point as their flotilla rolled through with their huge wakes.
