This looks like a design resulting from a Trump team of kiddie engineers. I'll bet jr. had something to do with this. It's about his speed.

........and his lanky leg structure to continue to seat himself in the midst of a conversation. LBJ had spoke to reporters with the bathroom door open whilst he gave his "output" to matters of the State .
 
Trump won't run again. He is to afraid of losing again. His ego can't take it

My Niece is a hard-core liberal. Yet, when we were on a recent family vacation with them in Florida. She flabbergasted my wife and me when she smiled, and boldly uttered....."I'm voting for DeSantis". The guy is really growing her. Perhaps, it stems from his fiscal record, and/or handling of the pandemic. Not sure, we didn't delve into it (I'm sure we will, though). She may come off that stance as she's a committed Democrat. Nonetheless, it was an eye-opener.

DeSantis isn't up till 2022. She's already made up her mind, without waiting to see who else runs? Interesting.

So, basically your whole family is as batshit crazy as you?

She sure sounds like a classic "hard-core liberal." They're well-known for their focus on cutting taxes so that they can cut spending on social programs.

Two priorities DeSantis announced Thursday would require the consent of lawmakers to become reality.

One would create a “Resilient Florida” program that would provide $1 billion over four years to award grants to state and local governments for projects that address the effects of climate change: sea level rise, intensified storms and localized flooding.

The other initiative would spend $43.5 million to create a program to provide financial awards of $100 for students at schools with a large number of low-income students, otherwise known as Title I schools. The awards would be based on their performance, with a focus on literacy programs at those schools.

Although House and Senate legislative leaders have warned of the potential cuts to education spending, DeSantis wants an overall increase of the state’s K-12 system. He proposed $22.8 billion in the upcoming fiscal year, a $290 million increase over last year.

DeSantis’ wish list includes another $10 million for mental health services at schools and teacher salaries and proposed a $233 per-student increase in state and local funding that’s distributed based on enrollment.

They really have to take climate change and sea level rise seriously there. Parts of the keys are already underwater.

If that came off as a serious insult, I apologize. It was intended as teasing, but I guess it sounds pretty harsh.

No, the context of the conversation was 2024. She's anyone but Trump, and doesn't care for Biden......if he makes it that far. I'm unsure of her impressions of Harris. The "I'm voting for DeSantis" remark was probably tongue-in-cheek, but ya never know. As mentioned, I'm sure we'll have plenty more discussions on the subject.
 
DeSantis' great Covid management not so great. Under investigation for directing vaccines from essential workers to wealthy white communities where Republican donors live. He has raised a ton of money, essentially trading vaccines for campaign contributions.

DeSantis denies any direct involvement. Of course, we shall see how this all plays out:

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article249690363.html

DeSantis denied having any involvement with the vaccine distribution at the Medical Center at Ocean Reef and said the vaccinations were handled by a “South Florida hospital,” which later was identified as Baptist Health System.

“That was not a site that we were involved in in the Keys,’’ DeSantis said at a news conference Thursday in Crystal River.

Monroe County officials later told the Herald/Times that the vaccine distribution to the wealthy community was coordinated by the state and the hospital system and did not involve the county public health department.

“Ocean Reef Medical Center received the vaccines as part of the Governor’s program to vaccinate communities with a population of 65-plus with a homeowner’s association and onsite medical center with the ability to administer the vaccines,” Kristen Livengood, Monroe County spokesperson, said in an email Thursday.

Farmer, a Lighthouse Point Democrat, told reporters in Tallahasseethat if the governor had no role and the wealthy community received no special treatment, “then the governor should not fear an investigation at all. Let’s get that out in the open.”

And Trump never met Manafort or any of the women who accused him of sexual assault....

My guess is that DeSantis will be very forthcoming. Again, as I previously stated, we shall see.

Seems ironic that the only place you ever hear about QAnon is from left wing outlets trying to tell us how scary all the right wingers are with their crazy conspiracy. I live somewhere completely surrounded by conservatives and have literally never heard a single person so much as mention QAnon. I don’t think anyone even knows what the fuck it is. I don’t even know what the fuck it is, honestly. Seems like one of those media triggers to get camps to lob stones at one another. Somehow 4 dickheads standing around with Trump signs is the biggest story in leftist media?

I can’t tell what the actual conspiracy is: QAnon; or the idea that QAnon is actually something worth talking about. The latter seems to have a larger following. I’m pretty sure if lefty media would just shut up about it it would disappear forever. There are less QAnons than there are late night hosts talking about it.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) -Governor Ron DeSantis Is Launching A New Program To Increase Vaccination Rates In Some North Central Florida Counties.

The State Is Partnering “Health Hero Florida” To Implement The Pilot Program In Rural Counties Including Levy, Putnam, Dixie, And Gilchrist Counties.

Beginning Next Week Resources Will Grow At Existing Vaccine Points Of Distribution That Are Not Meeting Demand.

Pop Up Sites Will Appear In Churches, Schools, Community Centers, And Housing Developments.

The Program Aims To Increase Vaccinations By 300 To 500 Shots Per Day.

TALLAHASSEE — Floridians as young as 60 will be able to get the COVID-19 vaccine starting sometime this month, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday.

“We really believe we have a great pathway to the get the vast, vast, vast majority of seniors with at least one shot very, very soon, and at that point, we’ll look at lowering the age,” DeSantis told reporters in Ocala. “And we’ll make an announcement on that. That will happen sometime in March, and once we have the first date on that we’re going to let everyone know about it.”

DeSantis said 2.5 million people 65 and older have received at least one shot of the vaccine, and reporting lags by three to five days. Florida’s 65 and older population is about 4.5 million, so the state is nearing the time to open up eligibility to more people, he said.

Once demand from that age group begins to slacken, the next phase will be to go down to age 55, he said.
