1. Florida man strikes again.

DeSatan won’t be happy until he kills all of us.

2. The guy in the dark shirt on the left side of the photo

is holding the governor's beer.

3. Well - if he succeeds they will be shipping out elsewhere

Since the ones setting out their guidelines will require vaccination of passengers and crew - AND - DeSantis has said that is unacceptable in Florida.

6. Probably out of Puerto Rico and abroad

They seem more resistant to Republican COVID dumb(cluck)ery

4. Obvious political stunt, of course

He doesn't have standing and no court has the authority to tell the CDC it can't have its guidelines. This isn't a "legal" situation in any sense.

Again, there is no court that has "jurisdiction" over the CDC as it pertains to CDC guidelines.

5. THIS, from a politician who blocked businesses

and state and local governments from issue ing vaccine passports?? THAT makes you feel safe boarding the restrictive confines of a 3,000 passenger plus cruise ship.

NOT.

I admit it’s “industrial tourism,” but I enjoy taking cruises every now and again. My last one was right before the Pandemic kept into high gear.

It would be nice if cruise passengers had alternative ports to Florida. That’s not likely, at least along the Gulf Coast. Gregg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, seems hell-bent on playing monkey-see, monkey-do with DeSantis’ reckless, irresponsible actions. (He’s just prohibited vaccine passports here in Texas).
