Poor Rick Scott.
He sold his soul to the devil a few weeks ago when he endorsed Donald Trump and now he can’t even walk around Gainesville in peace.
Of course, that’s what he gets for being a total prick.
Cara Jennings, a woman donning a green shirt at a Starbucks in the aforementioned Central Florida college town ripped into Scott after she saw him standing in line to suck the blood of the barista. (Or he might have been getting “coffee”. Sure.)
“You cut Medicaid so I couldn’t get Obamacare,” Jennings yells at Scott in a video that is quickly going viral. “You’re an asshole. You don’t care about working people. You should be ashamed to show your face around here.”
After an aide failed to calm Jennings down, Scott and his merry little band left the store without him even getting his coffee.
It is perfect.

#MaybeHeDoesntHitYou Shows Why Abuse Doesn’t Always Have To Be Physical
Over the past couple of days one of the top trending hashtags on twitter has been #MaybeHeDoesntHitYou.
Using the hashtag, women online have been able to share their experiences of past emotionally and mentally abusive relationships, helping to break the stigma that a relationship has to be physically violent to be considered abusive.
In only 140 characters women from around the world have told the horrifying and true reality that some must face every day.
For such a long time many people believed that in order to be considered an abusive relationship, there has to be a physical element to it.
Women who were in mentally and emotionally abusive relationships genuinely believed that if they did not have bruises or marks to show for it, that they weren’t being abused.This idea is what for years kept women with the men who would insult, degrade, and humiliate them on a regular basis.
But using the hashtag women are banding together and taking a stand. These tweets are bringing to light elements of abuse that thousands of women always considered to just be typical parts of being in a relationship.
They want to redefine what it means to be abused. Be called degrading names, being manipulated and controlled, and broken down by someone that “loves you” isn’t normal. It isn’t something any one should have to take.
Being made to feel lesser or not good enough by a significant other is not being loved. It is abuse.
