    That's a triple bank shot that I doubt any Trumper could have formulated. It also places the U.S. Secret Service in a degree of complicity.

    The fact remains that in the middle of 1/6, having fled the Capitol for his own safety, Pence refused to get in the car and evacuate with his Secret Service detail.

    Why?

    You mean the GOP didn't take into account unintended consequences?


    In petitions sent to public school superintendents across the state, Stevens asked the districts to "immediately remove the Bible from the classroom, library, and any instructional material," Stevens wrote in the documents, which were shared with NPR. "Additionally, I also seek the banishment of any book that references the Bible."
    His petitions cited a bill signed into law last month by Gov. Ron DeSantis, which lets parents object to educational materials. That bill came about after some parents complained about sexually explicit books being taught in Florida schools.
    Stevens proceeded to question whether the Bible is age-appropriate, pointing to its "casual" references to murder, adultery, sexual immorality, and fornication. "Do we really want to teach our youth about drunken orgies?"
    He also took issue with the many Biblical references to rape, bestiality, cannibalism and infanticide. "In the end, if Jimmy and Susie are curious about any of the above, they can do what everyone else does – get a room at the Motel Six and grab the Gideons," he wrote.

    The unintended consequences of what the GOP is doing in Florida right now are innumerable.
