Day 14. Where is De Santis?

[Baitball Blogger]

Last real proof of life was a photo dated 12/17/21. Has anyone heard of an update?

If he's on vacation, sounds like he's too scared to disclose his location. Something Republicans don't seem to understand about public life. It's a full time job.

[Achilleaze]

1. Has anyone checked Cancun?

Repubes like to dodge their responsibilities there.

As everyone knows.

[jimfields33]

24. Probably with his wife who has Breast cancer

[global1]

2. Does He Have Covid?....nt

[spinbaby]

15. Probably

There’s been speculation that he and his wife are isolating because she has cancer and is vulnerable, but that should not preclude a video appearance. So either he has covid or he’s hiding from the covid numbers.

[smirkymonkey]

39. I am just not buying that he is that compassionate, even toward his wife.

It's just not his nature. The republicans are using her cancer as an excuse, but I am certain his absence is due to some other reason.

[Poiuyt]

25. That was my thought too

But if he's been out of circulation for 14 days because of covid, it must be a pretty bad case.

[UTUSN]

34. This!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Who knows where he is, besides himself! Pretty cowardly, if you ask me. n/t

10. Florida has a history of reaching out to other countries or cities for partnering purpose.

Pretty much screwed up Seminole County when they tried to develop a sister city program with Wickow, Ireland.

[CurtEastPoint]

18. Wicklow is pretty innocuous...what was that about?

[Baitball Blogger]

22. The County's sister city program was undermined by our City leaders. One in particular.

But, the County only has itself to blame. In 1995-1996, our City was about to correct the overreaches of a City Commissioner who was on several boards at the County level. But the election of 1996 election cleaned out the old commissioners and brought in a whole new crew that had a grudge against a private developer. The Commissioner who should have had her power stripped remained on the Commission. She not only survived, but she magnified her power because Seminole County allowed her to serve and direct many County boards. I saw her as unethical being. But she was patted on her back by the County, probably because she was useful to them. Many County programs were going to need City approval and she was easy to do business with.

She was connected to the group that had a grudge with the developer. And she used her County board positions and power to hijack the sister city program. When the representatives from Wicklow came to visit, she took them on a detour and brought them to the City on a Sunday morning, where a new land developing lawyer presented them with an overview of a private development that would carry the sister city name. The development was in range of City review, so this was a breach of the Sunshine Law. This development was one of three that the other developer, the one that was disliked by the local group, had already obtained approval at the Planning and Zoning board level.

If the City were operating under good legal practices, they could have stopped everything in their tracks. Instead, they facilitated a rush through of the new developer's plans. And when you do something with speed, mistakes are made along the way that need to be patched up secretly. Which meant a long-lasting relationship between the City and the group with a grudge.

It's been messy.


The real travesty is how the people at ground zero terrorized the rest of us, because, if we had known the facts, we would have understood their culpability. It was nearly impossible to unravel the facts because they were so tied to the City. But, once I did figure it out, i realized there was no one to tell.

It is true, most people would rather accept ignorance, than deal with confrontation.

[CurtEastPoint]

26. seems like local politics is always messy everywhere!

[Baitball Blogger]

28. If it's anything like mine and you want to clean things up,

start with the lawyers.

[Walleye]

5. He could easily set up a remote interview. Must be something wrong

Joe Biden was on vacation but he had an hour phone conference with the president of Russia. Always on the job. That’s Joe.

[lapucelle]

6. True leaders don't vacation as covid surges, but politicians have no problem claiming privileges

denied to others.

Leaders ask, "How can I help?"

Politicians say, "I'm entitled."

As for President Biden, a change of venue is not a "vacation".

[jimfields33]

9. Come on. Even AOC is in Miami right now

And I consider her a real leader.

[Kingofalldems]

31. She doesn't run NY.

Don't know why you brought her up.

[2naSalit]

7. Not that I really care but...

Where is Lindsey? That weaselly bastard, wonder if they are off plotting mayhem together somewhere.

[spanone]

8. Here's hoping he never returns.

[JanMichael]

11. How do we know he's not in the hospital or on a vent?

[Baitball Blogger]

13. What are the signs that someone has been on a vent?

If he doesn't come back with a tan, I am going to get suspicious.

Now that would be interesting to see. De Santis on a vent inside a tanning table.

[captain queeg]

16. Yeah that's my guess. I hope he's sick enough to die, or at least wish he was.

[drray23]

21. Likely if he was on a vent in an hospital this probably would have leaked

seems difficult to keep it under wraps when its the governor of Florida.

[orleans]

33. if they did it in "dave" they could do it in florida

--except it appears that there wasn't a look-alike that wanted to help ron out

[Beastly Boy]

12. I would wait until tomorrow. The quarantine for COVID is 14 days

Tomorrow, he is likely to appear as if nothing happened.

[Polybius]

38. Quarantine for Covid hasn't been 14 days in over a year

It was 10 or 11 for a long time, and dropped to 5 last month.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

40. Good prediction. Was in a hospital...for 14 days...that part I believe.

[fightforfreedom]

14. Is he hanging out with Ted Cruz?

[SheltieLover]

17. Moscow?

[malaise]

19. I hate the scumbag but his wife was diagnosed with cancer earlier in the year

Could be related,but he should have explained to the people of Florida

[tavernier]

20. I live in Florida. My guess is he's stuck in traffic.

It is bumper to bumper on every road and highway from the state line to the US 1 mile marker zero Buoy in Key West.

[madamesilverspurs]

23. How far south

does the Appalachian Trail go?


.

[sarcasmo]

27. Hiking the Appalachian trail.

[Ilsa]

30. You beat me to it. Also, possibly vacationing

with Matt Gaetz and "friends" before the law closes in?

[sarcasmo]

37. On "vacation" with Hannity.

[onethatcares]

29. he might be swimming

at Piney Point

[NNadir]

32. Wouldn't be wonderful if we were still wondering on Day 14,000? n/t.

[Patterson]

35. Why wouldn't he say: "My wife has cancer and I'm with her."

[Klaralven]

36. is Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuez in public?
