Ron DeSantis Cooks Breakfast At Waffle House For Hurricane First Responders

I mean, I found it a surprising comment. But it doesn't seem like you to dump on Puerto Rico as somehow unworthy of attention after a Hurricane either.

 

That wasn't my intent. Nor is it remotely what I did

 

Disagree. You have been trying to make the case that it was wrong for him to go to Puerto Rico, which is how you ended up claiming he left the country.

 

Democrats support radical abortion legislation (many refusing to give a point where they believe abortion should be banned saying it should always be between the woman and her doctor), they undermine elections that don't go their way (though they admittedly did not go as far as some Republican actors in 2020), they support gerrymandering that favors them, they support unpopular gun policies (Beto outrightly stated he wanted to take AR-15s away), they desire this echo chamber of information and oppose a true free marketplace of ideas. They are anti-democratic in broadening the power of the executive branch through agencies. They support their own conspiracy theories and criticize any attempt to secure the border as racist or bigoted.

If we both just were to take the worst of both parties, characterize them in the worst possible light, and treat them as the norm and defining features of that party, both parties turn out radical.

 

You most certainly did not understand why I found your post embarrassing.

 

I suspect I must have missed something (and admittedly I started reading this thread on page 11 tonight).

Because my only point was that the answer to whether Puerto Rico was “outside the US” or not depends to a large degree on how technical you want to be.

 

1. Democrats support Roe v. Wade, which has supermajority support.
2. Democrats tried to pass a federal law blocking partisan gerrymandering for both parties. The Republicans opposed it. So your claim fails.
3. The Democrats' gun policies have majority support, even in Texas.

4. Your "true free marketplace of ideas" is too vague to offer a response. There are certainly valid criticisms of certain policies and laws favored by the left, but right now, the right is the worst offender when it comes to using government to silence ideas and opposition.
5. Democrats have offered multiple bills that emphasize both border security and immigration reform. Biden himself has offered to beef up border security in order to pass immigration reform. Republicans oppose it because of their anti-immigrant fervor. Another talking point failure.

 

I don’t think you’re MAGA at all. I do think a number of your posts have started to mirror the tone and content I’d see from MAGA disciples. Maybe it’s just happenstance or maybe I’m totally off base but they caught my eye in recent months.

 

You being aware PR is a US territory inhabited by US citizens makes your comments worse, not better.

 

That doesnt equal "dumping on Puerto Rico".

 

Again. Ive grown harder on the Biden admin, that has nothing to do with Trump which is what fuels MAGA.

 

Ok. And you thinking that makes me lose zero sleep.

I think the situation is Florida ranks higher to a sitting US POTUS then PR.

I like how he also made it political by taking shots at the previous help in 2017.

Bit I get it. You are one that sees from one perspective and one only. So I'll sleep just fine at night.

 

What perspective is that?

 

Wow, someone has their panties in a wad over Desantis voting for 17billion in sandy aid.

 

You never showed where Desantis voted for 17 billion. The link you provided was to an amendment to which the text of that amendment spoke nothing about 17 billion. Voting for an amendment does not equal voting for a bill. If that were the case then you can say that Republicans voted for the Inflation Reduction Act and Obamacare which is not true

 

If you're really interested in the full story of how both DeSantis and Rubio voted on the aid packages for Sandy which I seriously doubt, I would suggest that you click on the link below.

I don’t think so. I think the leader needs to show that he is “there” for the constituents and “with” the constituents. It is moral-boosting' and reinforces that people who feel all alone and isolated are not abandoned.

Sometimes, appearances matter.

DeSantis rewards routinely with offensive policies and monumental gaffes in judgment. This is, for him, the rare moment when his pandering is on-point and appreciated.

 

And when the leader's presence results in the closing of roads and first responders having to be taken away from their duties while people are still suffering, who does that help?

 

Why is that? Do you think the American citizens in Puerto Rico are less worthy of the President's time?
