BREAKING: After refusing to release critical hospitalization data for months,
@GovRonDeSantis
finally caves to public pressure & reports nearly 7,000 patients CURRENTLY hospitalized w/COVID-19 in Florida. A Friday night news dump if Ive ever seen it.

He should be up in front of a judge too.

(24,653 posts)My household and my sister's household has been doing curbside pickup for our essential needs for months. My dad is one of those who craves social interaction. He keeps shopping inside Publix. My sister and I are at wit's end with him. He's survived polio as a child, Vietnam as a soldier, cancer (including one that was supposed to be fatal), open heart surgery...I think he thinks he's invincible or something.

(296 posts)THEN let him decide. Death may be at the forefront of COVID, but this father's prior health record is what puts him at FAR GREATER RISK. It causes MAJOR BLOOD CLOTS in the MAJOR ORGANS. Respitory complications kill patients. Imagine blood clots filling your lungs and reducing your oxegen level.

(737 posts)Even some of my friends at church believe it's their Christian Duty to vote Republican because it claims to champion the causes of religious institutions and Christianity. Regardless of the hate, racism, prejudice, disregard for the poor, and Trump doing and saying anything antithetical to Christ's teachings...

That ship not only has sailed it transgressed the globe 87 times was moved into a maritime museum and after decades of use was melted down into bullets for WWII some whom were remelted and put onto abridge in Tacoma.
But thanks for the (har her har) image of (he he he he) DeSantis doing anything (ho ho ho) that would protect his public dign-hahahaha( can't stand it someone slap me SLAP) dignity.

(31,261 posts)Disney has been working with Orange County, which has had a mask in public mandate for almost two months.
We recently saw that widespread police brutality protests didnt lead to a wave of sick people, because of high mask wearing protocol. If Disney requires masks, maybe things work out not badly - but the policy has to be enforced and any pinhead that takes a mask off under the wrong conditions gets his or her ass summarily tossed out.

If a Republican accuses a Democrat, or liberals in general, of something, it's a damn sure bet that it is something that Republicans are actually guilty of.

(63,221 posts)We should always know that from now on, whenever they accuse us of anything, that they are only revealing themselves.
Unfortunately, too many people are willing to believe their bullshit. Hopefully, by the time this is all over, some eyes will have been opened to the truth.

(11,728 posts)We had a well liked and respected Senator resign because of a scandal started by a partisan hack, and a pile on by well meaning but misguided people.
We had a representative resign because of an indiscretion that occurred before she ever took office.
Republicans have no shame and have no honor. DeSantis will double down in the stupid and evil.

(778 posts)And the fact that our new cases are tremendously High each day makes this even worse. We need a new governor. No idea who voted for him, but we didn't. If I remember correctly, it was quite close between he and Gillum.
I still think he has federal government aspirations. The way he has his head up Trump and Pence's butt. There is no other explanation for it. Just another narcissist who couldn't care less about others.

They should really face it. Right-wing politicians are bad for the brand. Hopefully, they will do a better job of vetting candidates in the future.

Personally, I hold him responsible for murder. But that is likely in the ethical and moral sense, not in a statutory sense.
