Desperate, Deranged DeSantis Devolves Into Dumb Troll
Hes doing whatever it takes to keep the trolls on his side but hes demeaning himself in the processand theyll still eat him alive eventually.At this point, I almost dont know whether to view Ron DeSantis with contemptor pity.
On the one hand, he is a terrible governor who is failing his leadership course with flying colors. Driven only by politics and naked ambition, he pursues reckless policies that divide Floridians and may even put them in danger. Case in point: the governors plan to challenge in court the Biden administrations new vaccine rules for private businesses with 100 or more employees, which are supposed to take effect on Jan. 4.
Its not just mandates or supposed overreach by the feds; the governors new surgeon general, who leads the states department of health, has echoed his boss by offering anecdotes and invoking conspiracy theories to question the efficacy of the vaccines themselves. The doc even argued that whats really bad for health isnt rejecting the vaccine, but firing people who refuse to take it. What happened to First, do no harm?
And its not just COVID-19. DeSantis is also distracted by federal issues like immigration, to the point where he often neglects his responsibilities in Tallahassee. DeSantis has all but declared Florida to be a border state, pushing back against President Bidens immigration policies with the force that one might expect from governors of Texas or Arizona.

I'm not conflicted on whether to view DeSantis with contempt or pity; I view him with utter contempt.

(569 posts)The Democrat who ran against him ended up in a Florida motel room so drunk he actually could not speak, he was with a male prostitute and a doctor with a suspended license. The sex worker was overdosing on meth and had to be hospitalized, the "doctor" was of no help, except he probably administered the meth by injection. Andrew Gillum was too drunk to even make a statement.
Obviously, we need help in Florida...
