Of all the things Lauren Book has done, it took THIS to get people to rebuke her

Floridiots don't seem to care that Lauren Books grooms and indoctrinates schools with her dubious abuse narratives, funneling millions in taxpayer bucks into her fake charity while sitting as head of the Senate Appropriations committee, forces people into homelessness, engages in stochastic terrorism, filed SLAPP Suits and false reports against critics, stabbed Parkland shooting victims in the back, false accused her political opponents of corruption, failing to attend state senate hearings, violating state senate rules, being completely inept at her job, needing her DUI daddy Ron Book to do her work for her, helped Ron DeSantis pass censorship laws criminalizing political criticism and free speech, her connection to the GEO group private prison industry, her donations to Republicans, her ill-advised prostitution registry, running a PAC out of her home which collected millions for uncontested elections, or her pro-murder stances. Nope. Floridiots don't mind.

But propose banning letting dogs hang their heads out windows in movin cars, and the online mobs get her to stand down. 

Even Florida Politics, a website that fellates Lauren Book as often as ESPN does to Tom Brady, called Lauren a "loser:"

Dishonorable mention: Lauren Book. Book had to walk back with a tucked tail after outcry over a provision she proposed banning drivers from letting a dog stick its head outside a car window.

The provision — part of a much larger animal safety bill filled with less controversial regulations — had many wanting to swat the bill with a bundled up newspaper, despite its aim at keeping those animals safe.

First, the Senate Democratic Leader put out a statement responding to some of the criticism, noting she was willing to be flexible on that rule while keeping the spirit of the full bill intact.

“Our family has three dogs — two of which are 150 pounds each and love sticking their heads out the window — so I welcome and appreciate all public comment on this issue, which is only one piece of a complete proposed overhaul of the state’s animal welfare system as brought to me by veterinarians and advocates,” Book said.

“We can easily amend this piece out of the bill while protecting the intent of the animal welfare community and vets who proposed the policy because of unintended injuries they’ve treated — and we will. In the meantime, let’s all invest in a good pair of “doggles” to keep our furry friends safe.”

Eventually, Book confirmed that provision would be dropped from the animal safety bill.

“The public has spoken,” said Claire VanSusteren, a Book spokeswoman. “She’s heard from folks who feel really strongly about this. This is not something that Floridians want.”

-- IF ONLY FLORIDIOTS CARED ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTERED!

I think Lauren Book is wearing Doggles on a regular basis. What else can you call those oversized atrocities she sports on her Basal Knob she calls a nose?

If you're a fan of Lauren Book you may as well be a Cleveland Browns fan. They win games a few times a year but they still suck and are perennial losers, just like Book. 

At any rate, lauren Book's biggest loss to date is still losing to Derek Logue three time in court, but I'd like to see Book get embarassed, even on an issue like this. Bimbo Book is unfit for the State Senate.


 PS: Book's bill proposes an "animal abuser registry," which has been overshadowed over letting mutts sticking their heads out windows. The cunt sure loves government blacklists!

FloriDUH State Senator Lauren Book is a potential DEATH-Santis ally in allowing death penalty cases

 I see Lauren Book is still expoloiting the Stoneman Douglas shooting victims for cheap publicity despite stabbing them in the back. It does not surprise me the woman who is okay with abortion also wants to make it easier to have people executed, so once again we see the inept Democrat "leader" siding with Ron De(ath)Santis. 

I guess now Bimbo Book needs a fitting death-related nickname. She LOVES destroying human life.

Could there be bipartisan support for changes to Florida’s death penalty laws?

'If ever there was a person who deserved the death penalty, Nikolas Cruz is that person.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis said he wants to scrap the requirement that a jury must unanimously recommend the death penalty before a judge can impose it. And the Governor’s suggestion could have bipartisan support.

Democratic leaders of the House and Senate took different positions on the issue, with House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell standing firmly behind the current requirement that a jury verdict be unanimous. Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book, meanwhile, called it a “tough issue.”

“When you are looking at the possibility of the ultimate punishment, putting someone to death, you have to make sure that you get it right. And Florida leads the nation in exonerations, meaning that we lead the nation in getting it wrong,” Driskell said.

According to the Death Policy Information Center Florida, has 30 exonerations, more than any other state. More than 56% of the exonerations involved Black defendants. Driskell said the requirement that a jury verdict be unanimous eliminates accountability.

Book, who is from Broward County, said intellectually she agreed with Driskell. But Book said it’s a tough issue in Broward County, where a jury last summer could not agree on recommending the death penalty for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas gunman. He wound up getting sentenced to life in prison. Lawyers argued the shooter, who killed 17 people and injured 17 others, was a fetal alcohol baby who was misdiagnosed.

Book called the jury’s decision in the sentencing phase a “gross miscarriage of justice.”

“If ever there was a person who deserved the death penalty, Nikolas Cruz is that person,” Book said. “I know that there will be robust debate and I know there are people who fall on different pieces and parts of the continuum within our caucus. But I do believe that we get it wrong. And it has to be right. I think that this is one that we are going to debate and it’s a tough one. It’s a tough one for Broward County.”

Florida was one of the last states that did not require a unanimous recommendation for the death penalty. In the wake of court decisions, legislators initially changed the law to require that 10 out of 12 jurors must recommend the death penalty. Lawmakers then changed the standard to require unanimity after a state Supreme Court ruling mandated unanimity.

But after DeSantis shifted the court rightward with new appointments, the court reversed its 2016 decision and said a unanimous recommendation was not needed, opening the door for another update.

DeSantis on Monday did not say what the unanimous vote should be replaced with, other than a “supermajority.”

“We can’t be in a situation where one person can just derail this,” DeSantis said at the Florida Sheriff Association’s winter meeting in St. Johns County.
