Oceans boiling, outbreak of malaria, insurers fleeing, teachers leaving, highest inflation in the country. But have no fear. DeSantis to the rescue! He is launching a campaign against Bud Lite
 
I personally think moving south to a subtropical peninsula is not the smartest move during global warming. People forget how quickly real estate can depreciate.

Please list the Trump policies you support and the Biden policies you do not support. What Trump wanted for infrastructure is very similar to what Biden got passed for infrastructure. So you don't approve of the money being sent to your state's, Tennessee and Florida, and the infrastructure improvements?

Bingo. Biden has doubled down on Trump's economic policies. Same as Obama did for Bush's.

These people are all mostly interested in helping the wealthy extract an ever growing slice of the economy.

Nobody who actually supports policy that is in the best interest of the middle class can get support from the DNC or RNC.

Trump was able to fool the ignorant masses into thinking he did, so he took over the RNC in the primary process.

Unfortunately the DNC has a much more corrupt primary process and are able to effectively tilt the scales toward their preferred candidate seemingly at will.

So we'll get pretend Dems vs lunatic Republicans for a while...
 
After the outcry over Florida now requiring schools teach the benefits of slavery - that slaves were taught skills - the DeSantis Department of Uneducation doubled down by listing a dozen or so 19th century African Americans who were skilled craftsmen or businessmen. Yes, men.

They didn't do their homework.

About half of those listed were not enslaved but were freemen. The rest were escaped or liberated slaves who learned skills and established business after emancipation.

They want students to be ignorant.

DeSantis hand picked board overseeing Disney proposed $8 million cut in police who protect Disney visitors and the park.
Defund the police!
 
Florida schools are told to use videos from Prager University, which is not a university. It is a far right propaganda organization whose contributors include Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Among other tidbits they teach the US was founded as a Christian nation, that fossil fuels are reliable, unlike renewables, and global warming a hoax, that Columbus and slavery were benign while indigenous people violent, and that only cis gender heterosexuality is acceptable. Also praise Robert E Lee for violently putting down a slave rebellion.

You want to make America Florida?

Gainesville, Ga, or Gainesville Fl?

The Riverquarium is nice but the way the city/county handled it pissed a lot of folks off...it was originally touted to supposedly bring tourism to Albany and cost a ton of tax payers money to build it but when it opened, initially, the supposed admission fee was the same for residents as it was for the out-of-towners. I believe that after awhile the city/county finally agreed to give residents a discount.

Oh goody! Leprosy, yes, leprosy, making a comeback in Florida. It is actually easily treatable with antibiotics in early stages. But with public health department unstaffed and sky high rates of people without health insurance ... Welcome to the 12th century.
 
Florida high school no longer allowed to teach AP psychology class. The class includes generally accepted views of the medical community regarding gender and sexual orientation, which are banned in the free state of Florida.
 
the political career fumbling desantis managed by running a limp dick campaign that can't gain any traction against a guy with 3 indictments needs to be studied. hoping for some media outlet to give a thorough post mortem that goes over the fine details like being backed by the absolute worst of the worst of republican donors and getting market corrected by a guy in a different party who thinks covid was engineered to spare jewish people.

Yeah, pretty sad he can't beat a candidate with three indictments. Pre Trump, a candidate with three different indictments wouldn't still be running. There was a time when if a candidate were mired in such controversy they would end their campaign. Now, it's run anyway.

If Trump weren't running, Desantis would likely be the front runner. The right though is obsessed with their criminal former commander in cheeto.

You talked about Trump more than DeSantis in your reply. I don't blame you at all for that because Ron is barely relevant on his own, he needs to be tethered to something to stay above water. Even this thread is about Never Trumpers voting for Ron instead of Don, the man is completely dependent on current events. Total bore with zero people skills either, desperately tries to be one of the guys whenever he is around supporters. If boycotting a company because they had a transgender person out of frame in a commercial for 0.07 seconds isn't in the news cycle, he can't get anyone to listen to him speak.

Just making the point that the republicans (the politicians) gave control of their party to Trump and are now kicking themselves. The polls show the majority of republican voters are still devoted to him. There is no one even close in that primary.

But, yeah DeSantis is not a strong candidate. He piggybacks off of others playbooks, using Youngkin's attacks on schools, Abbott's shipping of immigrants to other states, etc. He kisses Trump's ass and coattail rides, somehow thinking he can beat him. His campaign has proven an embarrassment.

Woah. That's in Monticello, only a 30 minute drive from my house. We were out hiking in that area a couple of weeks ago, found a poor lost kitty out in the woods, and of course now have a newly adopted cat. We named him Monti, since he's from Monticello.
