What's happening in DeSantistan 2.0

Also vetoing flood mitigation in Dade

 

I’m not sure this is off topic, considering that Ron DeSantis played baseball at Yale and was hated by many of his teammates.

 

It's also not off topic considering DeSantis specifically stated that the reason he vetoed funding for their Pasco training complex was because the Rays spoke out against gun violence.

 

DeSantis said that? Not saying that wasnt the reason, just asking if he actually admitted it.

 

DeSantis allies set up a school to train a $100 million door-knocking army​

Don't you just love it when political solicitors show up at your door, ready to pummel you with talking points? DeSantis going old school now with low tech, but high cost--100 million, to be exact. Maybe he's skittish about employing tech in his campaign after his lamentable Twitter launch.

I was getting things a little mixed up with the Rays and Disney where DeSantis has been far more open about his reasons for punishing them. DeSantis didn't specifically say the Rays tweet was a reason. But he implied it by saying it's “inappropriate to subsidize political activism of a private corporation.” in relation to his veto of the Rays training complex.

 

Gotcha. I dont like his pandering, especially if it hurts the Rays. (Selfish I know). I just thought I recalled hom being pretty careful with his words there.

 

Direct retaliation. What can be done? Will the senate grow a pair and override?

 

I really hope im home when they knock. They are likely to quit or seek a big raise after i get done with them

 

I’ll be happy to share my thoughts on DeSantis to any rube who comes to our door shilling for MBR.

 

Much too polite

 

Just to warm up for the future door knocker…

What don’t I like about DeSantis?

He is a big government anti jobs anti conservative - he attacks one of the largest employers and economic engines in the state of FL because of petty politics.

He is a big government anti business RFK liberal conspiracist - he is deploying government to attack Pfizer on completely fraudulent charges.

He is a big government anti free speech zealot - he attacks individuals, corporations, schools, colleges etc for speech he doesn’t like.

He is a big government nanny state Christian Taliban Jesus freak - his advocacy of forcing my family members of what choices they have in their health care - such as six week abortions and other medical care.

Incompetent executive - he hired the most incompetent Surgeon General in perhaps the history of any state - Lapado is an outright fraud who should lose his medical license and be criminally charged with disseminating intentionally false information.

But but his Covid handling was so great……???

Bullshit. He didn’t allow business to make their own decisions (big govt anti business ), didn’t allow school districts to make their own decisions, and for whatever the merits of having open schools, which was correct, student testing performance didn’t show any benefit. Also, while freedom is great, approximately twice he number of people per capita died of Covid in FL vs other more restrictive states, so it did come with a cost.

- Enough with woke, trans, etc. I don’t give a shit.

- He is a wimp. Trump is shitting all over him and he sits there with his mouth open. He can’t stand up for himself. Imagine how the like of Putin or Xi will make him their bitch.

-He wears white boots

 

Amen

 

Is it? It seems annoyingly intrusive, to me. The best thing I can say for it is that it creates jobs, although $100 million is a shocking amount of money, imo.

I wouldn't be rude to them, though. I don't even answer the door unless I know who's there. Is that rude?

 

MBR? Medical beauty research?

 

And the aforementioned are his good points.

 

Meatball Ron.
