So what’s new in DuhSantistan?

Tell that to your surgeon and their assistants next time you or a loved one go in for ops.

 

how about a useful mask? they do exist. do you want your surgeon wearing a mask next time you or a loved one needs surgery? How about the TB infected person sitting next to you on the plane?

 

At Shand’s currently after my wife just had a full thyroidectomy done today. Definitely thankful he wasn’t spewing his crap all over her.

 

Why should Americans outside Florida care about Florida's Governor? Crazy

Email insights: Ron DeSantis has 90 million reasons not to diss out-of-state donors

The DeSantis Watch “analysis of public campaign finance records shows that Gov. Ron DeSantis has accepted at least $90,664,181 from out-of-state donors in order to feed his political career.”

“This analysis examined donations to Friends of Ron DeSantis since the Governor declared his campaign in 2018, as well as donations to the Republican Party of Florida since January 1, 2019, days before he was sworn into office, and only takes into account donations of $5,000 or more. The list of out-of-state donors includes numerous billionaires, many of the country’s largest corporations, and Washington, D.C.-based special interests,” the group contends.

These numbers were as of August 4, 2022.

It's national

 

"Make America Florida"?

 

Based on my experience outside of the state of Florida, I don't think that's going to be a good 2024 campaign slogan for DeSantis. Florida is the object of ridicule outside the state and DeSantis is only making it worse.

 

It'll be tough here since the avg Coloradoan is far richer, healthier, freer & more educated than the avg. Floridian.

A radio station here has a game called It Happened in Fla. They give 3 insane scenarios & the participant has to guess which one happened in fla.

 

Do they operate on people or animals?

 

My relatives who live in Colorado hear only how “great” DeSantis is for our State and they believe he is the unquestioned Pub nominee. They also know nothing about how he governs or the restrictions he has imposed or the retaliations he strikes with. They know, basically, only what the media says about him.

 

Ron DeRacist, who taught his students that the Civil War was not about slavery and who told his students that abortion was wrong, says he rejected the AP course on African American studies because 'some of the topics attempted to use Black history to push a political agenda.'

DeSantis says AP African American history class pushes a political agenda

 

People but what is the difference

 

ability to testify

 

I'm quite confident the "crack head prostitute" wouldn't have violated the First Amendment nearly as often as DeSantis has. But I value free speech. Maybe others don't. I don't know.

 

I very much doubt this. But if they actually don't wear a surgical mask during surgery they should be sued for malpractice.

 

Who had pooped on the floor during a B & E at a local restaurant on their bingo card? Right here in Ft Myers this weekend. On video..

 

And that is the problem. Why doesn't the media report all the BS that is happening?

 

Burying the lede. They granted cert and will hear the case. I don't expect a "court" controlled by DeSantis appointees to follow the law, but at least they'll have to explain why a right that clearly protects reproductive rights doesn't.

 

The same could be said in response to all criticism of incumbent politicians around the country. Of course, DeSantis is term-limited, so voting him out of the Governor's Mansion isn't an option at this point.

 

Opinion | Ron DeSantis Likes His Culture Wars for a Reason

And yet, there is a reason DeSantis has made these issues, and virtually nothing else, the platform from which he hopes to build national power. By leaning into high-profile battles as a culture warrior par excellence for the most reactionary segment of the American public — last year, to give another example, he picked a fight with the Disney corporation — DeSantis has made himself the hero of conservative elites and the bête noire of liberals and Democrats without so much as mentioning his radical and unpopular views on social insurance and the welfare state.

As a congressman, serving three terms from 2013 to 2018 (when he ran for governor), DeSantis was one of the founders of the House Freedom Caucus, the most hard-line and conservative faction in the House Republican conference, now in the spotlight because of its leadership battle with Speaker Kevin McCarthy and its driving role in using the debt ceiling to force spending cuts on an unsuspecting public.

DeSantis believes, according to his 2011 book, “Dreams From Our Founding Fathers: First Principles in the Age of Obama,” that the framers of the Constitution “strived to construct a system of government that prevented government-mandated wealth redistribution.” Turning his attention to the Affordable Care Act and the federal bureaucracy, DeSantis condemns both as “administrative despotism” that have exerted “stifling constraints on the whole of society.” And while he doesn’t take direct aim at the New Deal and its offspring — the whole book is framed as an attack on the Obama administration — his arguments against redistributive policy should apply as much to Social Security as they do to Obamacare. It is not for nothing that Florida is one of 11 states that has not adopted the Medicaid expansion.
