DeSantis proclaims

[Chainfire]

that the rise in cases and deaths in Florida is not because of Florida mishandling the health crisis, it is just seasonal........

Yea, right, flu viruses are known to propagate wildly in the hottest time of the year.....

Face it Ron, you blew this by following your President who also blew it. After this election, the people of Florida need to begin a campaign to impeach the Fascist bastard. We can't afford two more years of DeSantis.

1. Donald Trump said that Covid was seasonal too -- but it would go away

when the weather got warmer.

Do I detect a contradiction?

[Wounded Bear]

4. At the time he said that, it was flourishing in Brazil...

There was plenty of evidence that was bullshit.

10. Wingnuts can hold....

at least a dozen contradictory ideas in their heads at one time. Cognitive dissonance is their super power.

2. Keep digging DeathSantis

May your poll numbers continue to drop until you sink into your swamp.

[Chainfire]

3. Of course not

It is just another one of those "alternate facts." Truth is variable and is subject to change as circumstances demand.

DeSantis could declare a state wide mask program if he wanted to reduce the spread, but, at this point, it would mean that he had to admit error by not doing it sooner. DeSantis tries to save face by allowing people to die. That is Republican leadership in action.

5. How many other summer's have they had this many deaths?

[LakeArenal]

6. Flu season? We can't get a regular flu shot this time of year.

7. "Hey, all this Covid excitement is just a hoax."

"So what if Florida leads the nation in death rates and positive tests.
My buddy Donald Trump says everything will work out fine. Just send
the kids back to school and enjoy you night life."

8. Character....

One of its hallmark is the courage to admit you were wrong, particularly when the consequences of your wrongness are catastrophic. DeSantis, like all Rethuglicans, has no character. The primary reason I loath their very existence. Barrack Obama has more character in his left little toe than all Rethuglicans combined.

And I thought viral infections went away in the Summer time. Heard that a few months back. Can't remember from who.

[Mr. Ected]

9. Hopefully, Trump, DeSantis, and all their ilk

Are only seasonal as well.

Get the eff out of our country you traitors!

[iluvtennis]

11. What a ludicrous proclamation - he fk'ed up, plain and simple. nt

[SCantiGOP]

12. He's probably right

It probably only occurs in four of the seasons.

[lettucebe]

13. Wait, tRump said it'd go away in the heat. Which is it?

[JDC]

14. It's delusion at this point.

15. Ron DeRacist done fup duck!

Or as he issued a dog-whistle to his white supremacist base during the campaign, "The LAST thing we need to do is to monkey this up..."

Comment at 1:00

But those of us in northeast FL couldn't believe it when he actively promoted Jacksonville as host city for the RNC. And the Cowardly-Lyin' Traitor took him up on the offer! Thousands and thousands of potential virus-carriers were to swarm into town, along with the DHS storm troopers. On the 60th anniversary of "Ax Handle Saturday!!"

Thankful that disaster-in-the-making got cancelled, but what else would DeRacist do to please his lord and master? No, don't tell me. I want to be able to sleep at night.

16. "Fup Duck" by Jim Dodge, a great and funny book. nt
