Well you sure talk a hard game, Sly. I'd say shoot, but, er, that's in poor taste.
 
This Florida health official who said DeSantis fired her because she wouldn't manipulate COVID data got wrecked by state investigators

Many of you may remember, in the earliest months of the pandemic, a weird little dust-up in Florida wherein state epidemiological worker Rebekah Jones claimed to have been fired by the DeSantis administration because she refused to manipulate state COVID data to make DeSantis look good.

This may be totally and completely surprising, but it turns out that those claims were... completely untrue:

State investigators dismiss Rebekah Jones's claims of Florida fudging COVID-19 data
Rebekah Jones' sensational allegations about COVID-19 data being changed to make Florida look good were 'unsubstantiated' and 'unfounded'.

A state investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with the explosive allegations brought by Florida's former coronavirus data expert, who had accused top state health officials two years ago of firing her for refusing to manipulate COVID-19 data to support the push to reopen Florida after months of quarantine.

Specific allegations raised by former agency data manager Rebekah Jones — who gained national media attention with her sensational accusations against the DeSantis administration — were either "unsubstantiated," meaning there was insufficient evidence to prove or disprove, or "unfounded," concluding the alleged conduct didn't occur, according to the findings.

Absolute shocker here folks!

Over at National Review last year, Charlie Cooke penned a blistering takedown of Jones's claims, one in which he outlined her disturbing history of disturbing behavior:

One is almost left impressed by the strange alchemy with which Jones manages to transmute her own bad behavior into lucrative victimhood. A 342-page "manifesto" that Jones penned in 2019 gives example after example of this tendency. She manages to cast herself as the injured party in the passages in which she describes violating a no-contact order to engage with an ex-boyfriend, damaging his car, and harassing his mother. She also manages to cast herself as the victim in the parts in which she records being fired from Florida State University for having sex with a student in her office and for lying to her employer about her criminal record. She even presents herself in defensive terms in a now-removed part of the document that contains explicit text messages between her and her ex-boyfriend, as well as close-up photographs of the man's genitals. (A misdemeanor stalking case against Jones, filed by Florida in 2019, is ongoing, although the cyber-harassment and cyber-stalking charges have been dropped or narrowed, as were earlier charges, relating to the same individual, of trespass, felony robbery, and contempt of court.) Everywhere Jones goes—whether it's Louisiana State University (where she got her master's), Florida State, or the Florida Department of Health—she seems always to leave a trail of wreckage. And somehow, it's always someone else's fault.

Indeed—and even in spite of this latest humiliating defeat, she's not giving up:

She plans to sue the state in federal court for wrongful dismissal now that the state investigation is complete.

"It's something that's been a life-defining experience," Jones said of her confrontation with the DeSantis administration over the COVID-19 data.

I bet! I'm sure the federal court will be happy to define it a little further for her!

Wait, the State of Florida finds that the State of Florida committed no wrong doing?

SHOCKER!
 
Florida had agreed to give the Tampa Bay Rays a big tax break on a new Spring Training facility. DeathSantia revoked it after the team issued a statement against gun violence.

How Ron DeSantis Could Out-Trump Trump All the Way to the White House

His every utterance seems calculated to send progressives into a frenzy. He's one of the most prolific political fundraisers in America. His endorsements of other like-minded America First conservative candidates help those beneficiaries pull ahead in crowded primaries. And the worst-kept secret in American politics is that he wants to swap out his Sunshine State address for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as soon as possible.

No, the politician is not Donald Trump but rather Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who lately seems bent on executing just about every page of the former president's political playbook—only with a sunnier demeanor, less offensive language and fewer of the personal antics that make Trump so polarizing. At 43, the once little-known backbench congressman has transformed himself into perhaps the hottest, most consequential political figure of his generation so far—possibly the only one capable of going head-to-head with Trump for the GOP nod in 2024 and with a shot at taking the presidency away from Joe Biden or whoever the Democrats nominate. The only real question is whether he'll run against Trump if the former president enters the race or risk his flame burning out by waiting until 2028 or beyond.

"He is Trump without the boorish behavior and name calling, the insults and the bullying—the very reasons Trump lost suburban women in 2018 and lost a significant number of college-educated suburban men in 2020," says Jim Dornan, a veteran GOP strategist who worked on Trump's 2015 exploratory campaign committee and this year is advising Republican candidates in Oregon, Maryland and California. "On the Republican Party circuit, whether it's in D.C .or the suburbs, DeSantis is the first name that comes up when people start talking about 2024."..........
 
Let's just all share the biden/harris love and all the ails of the world will go away!

kopasetic, man.
 
ABM can't spell.

I get it. DeathSantis is whipping up hate and violence against my community and ABM loves it. Governor attacks women's rights and religious freedom and he lives that even more. He banned teaching anything that makes white people uncomfortable, thrilling! He makes it hard for Black, Latinx and young people to vote to stay in power, orgasmic! He created special election police answerable only to him personally and wow, why didn't Trump think of that? ABM hoped Trump would be his fuhrer but Trump is stupid. DeathSantis is a smarter fascist.
 
Vote for honesty and stop flailing around with these snake oil salesmen who want us all to live in authoritarian fascist police states forcing religious fundamentalism on all citizens...it's more than a mistake, it's a threat to freedom and democracy...DeSantis is not a man of the people for the people...he's a power broker. He's also Trump on steroids and as crandc said...another fascist but smarter making him more dangerous
 
DeSantis and Trump terrify hardcore leftists because they refuse to go along with all the “woke” nonsense. They want to defend our borders, stop the flow of illegal drugs and sex trafficking from Mexico and Central America, protect our children from the gender loonies, protect women athletes from having to compete with men, protect the family from intrusive federal overreach, and protect us all from the anti-American and utterly insane movement that has taken over the Democrat party.

There's only so much energy one can take to respond to this utter nonsense, but here goes.

1. Children are not under attack from "gender loonies". The over whelming majority of the people who target children for assault (sexual or not), are straight men. People who are LGBTQ are not targeting children for anything, nor do children need to be protected from their simple existence in the world.

2. "intrusive federal overreach"? You mean like making it so women can't choose what to do with their own bodies? Take birth control? Pick who they can and cannot marry? Or is that kind of overreach OK

3. I'm not even sure you believe that trope, but just think it makes "them lieberals mad!1!"


The whole post that I quoted is an absolute joke, a waste of bandwidth and exactly why the GOP has been out voted in 7 out of the last 8 presidential elections. Please exit the 1950's and join us in the 21st century.

learn the difference between terrify and disgust.....your good old boy party is traitorous and dishonest across the board....and I'm not a Democrat or a hard leftie but if you think your version McCarthyism is being woke, then you're voting for facism...not American values. The GOP is absolutely a cancer for democracy...oh and let me know when your kids decide it's time for a career picking lettuce...or making shoes....you can let them eat cake and bitch about the brown folks but expect to get called out on that bs...you got snowballed by a grifter...says something about your patriotic values and accusations. Liz Cheney at least is brave enough to call your bluff.

I am certainly concerned about another pro fascist president, one more focused and competent than the previous guy. I am female, gay, Jewish, love books, care about environment and civil rights. All things they want to destroy.

If he's all of those things (which he's not), then you'll have nothing to worry about in 2024.

Maybe they’re just getting payback for all the vile threats made against Trump by the left, such as comedian Kathy Griffith holding his bloody severed head in her hand and Biden threatening to beat the hell out of him.

If you think death threats today against a republican his wife and 5 month old baby are comparable to a standup comedians prop with the Nixon mask...you need to check your value system...fuck Kathy Griffin too...never like her but your side's mob tactics are not what American values stand for...payback? More like vile cowardice. Fuck death threats as a political tool ...it's what fundamentalist tribal chiefs in Afghanistan would do. It's this sort of sensationalized bs that is ruining the nation. You should be horrified by those death threats...the fact that you're defending them is very suspect

Hate has clouded your thought process. I wish you the best personally.

You seem to be forgetting the long list of horrendous threats made against Trump, his wife and his son by the left. They put on a play in Central Park that featured Trump’s assassination, and were in daily competition to see who could imagine the worst kinds of death for him. I doubt the death threats made by the scumbags you mentioned can come anywhere close to the evil imagined by the sickos who railed against Trump for four years.

What Kathy Griffin did was stupid.

As for Biden. Put that on paper view.
