    Coming from the U.S. Senator from FL, who is “they”???

    Edit: Looks like the commenters responding had the same thoughts as me. Rubio’s always come off as unbelievably fake to me, but this sort of post reveals a general cluelessness.

    Rubio is the senior Senator from Florida but has no power in this matter? Don’t worry, the Governor is hard at work on the problem.


    Then again…

    Does South Carolina really want our blueprint? They know about our property and auto insurance rates here?

    I understand that no math teacher is allowed to discuss any equation with the number 69. Good win for education.

    This is consistent with religious/moral opposition as opposed to concerns about age appropriateness.

    I suspect the board’s interest in DeSantas ramped up significantly when they thought he may run for POTUS in 2024. Of course, he has not publicly committed yet but the possibility is enough for you guys to load your forum with innuendos, and theories to vilify and degrade him and any other conservative candidates you deem unworthy. I suppose it’s the liberal playbook. And, it doesn’t matter to you if the “theories” are untrue and blatant exaggerations.

    He can't publically commit because he would have to resign. Serious question, how do you feel about him using taxpayers funds for his "book tour?" I thought conservatism was about fiscal responsibility?

    If he broke a law, he should suffer the legal consequences; like Joe and Hunter Biden should.

    That is a sad attempt at whataboutism. In the state of Florida we have a "resign to run" law. Please educate yourself so that you don't look foolish.

    I don't know, I feel like telling a bunch of strangers unprovoked how much smarter you are than your son who doesn't talk to you anymore is pretty on-brand for a certain MAGA-type.

    Just so I know, were you going to house and feed these immigrants? Maybe, let’s clear out Tolbert and Jennings dorms and put them there. Did the administration alert states and cities they were going to have to deal with bus loads of immigrants immediately? I think not, inasmuch as they inexplicably blindsided cities with plane loads of immigrants flying in at early hours of the morning. The entire action was cloaked with deception and secrecy; perhaps you explain why was that?
    Obama and Martha’s Vineyard residents were aghast at having the immigrants in their cozy enclave; they did not open their doors. It was pretty ironic and showed the elite’s hypocracy on this issue.

    TOTAL RUMOR I just heard at a lunch with a bunch of political types, none of which are in a position to know this, probably passing on third or fourth hand gossip that might be BS in the first instance.

    We all know DeSantis has no personality, which is hurting him.

    We all know his wife Casey is very personable, has all the charisma he lacks.

    Long time plan to use her a lot to promote his fortunes when his lack of personality became an issue..

    Hasn't happened yet, which surprises.

    RUMOR: Ron's aides think she plans to Keri Lake him and promote herself, maybe with DT as second on ticket, based on some her staff's drafts and statements. Nothing about whether anyone has expressed their suspicions to him, likely not.

    No idea if true, but interesting. Worth what you paid for it

    his war on work along with attempting to increase government regulations on Disney are desantis’s priorities.

    meanwhile….

    “This is the worst teacher and staff shortage we've ever seen in the state of Florida,

    His daughter was without a science teacher for half of last year as well. "So this is something that's happening and impacting our students, our kids, every day," Spar said. "When you talk about over 5,000 vacancies, you're literally talking about hundreds of thousands of students that are not being taught by a certified teacher in their classroom."

    Florida has 5,294 teacher vacancies, the state education association says, compared with 2,217 vacancies in January 2019 when Gov. Ron DeSantis took office.

    Teachers say they are leaving because of low pay and DeSantis' education policies, dubbed the "war on woke."

    Florida combats colossal teacher shortage

    Typical liberal response filled with inaccuracies and obfuscation. Nice try.​

    Stop reading garbage websites and watching Fox. It's making your brain soft.
