He’s younger and has learned that Trumpers and the GOP will let you get away with anything. He doesn’t have any integrity or restraint, so will and does govern anti-democratically. In no way is he better.

Jims missing the point why Ron made the statement" 'Little Elf' Fauci Should Be Tossed 'Across the Potomac'"
he needs Trump voters in the primaries and in the general election
he's not about policy he's 100% in on the culture war stuff that attracts the Jerry springer crowd

huge numbers of people
are moving there, just to get in on the culture war? not for super low taxes?
sorry, your side said governor cuomo was the gold standard of covid. Desantis has more elderly people, kept businesses and schools open more, and has lower death rates than NY. That’s called winning compared to NY, and it’s called freedom.
you’re scared of him, and it shows.

Is DeSantis also going to celebrate that Florida is the state where old people go to die of covid? No state has had more covid deaths than Florida, in the period that all adults were eligible for vaccines.
Fun Florida fact - more GOP registered voters have passed away due to COVID in Fl than the number of people who counted in DeSantis' margin to win. He is now missing people who pushed him over the finish line last time.
And if you want to compare Floriduh to NY
Under Ron DeSantis, your teen is 56% more likely to give birth, her child is 41% more likely to die, your wife is 2/3 more likely to leave you, you're 38% more likely to die of a drug overdose, you're 158% more likely to be shot to death, & seven times more likely to die of COVID.

You real need new material
you’re scared of him, and it shows.
No Jim I am not afraid of him he thinks he’s some authoritarian mini me a Trump copycat . And like Trump and his supporters who are the actual threat to our country and it’s institutions

3rd swear allegiance to Trump. Maybe a tax cut
4th repeat the election was stolen or at least claim there were irregularities
5th use invasion ,hunter , Hillary , fauci, woke , Bide and dementia or Soros in a sentence once a week
6th never tell or believe .truth or facts . When in doubt refer to rule 1-3

it’s “authoritarian” to leave businesses and schools open so people can live their lives!!!! but not authoritarian to close
businesses and force people
to inject experimental medicine they don’t want.
you are priceless.
conservatives want less federal government overall, than liberals.
say that again snag again until it sinks in.
That is the single biggest differentiator between the parties, and you got it completely wrong.

and because FL has a huge elderly population, you need to adjust the data to normalize for that, when comparing one state to another. Statistics 101.
overall deaths don’t matter? all that matters is finding some time period in which FL looks bad, and then failing to normalize for demographic differences.
People and businesses are moving there pete, there’s a reason why.

I didn't mind doing it. Others were coerced.
SO do we have bodily autonomy, or not? Because I'm fairly certain that when discussing another issue, the entire liberal position is based on the notion that people can't be told what to do with their own bodies. When discussing vaccines, that "principle" goes right out the window.

Texas public schools required to display “In God We Trust” posters if they are donated
Texas law that requires public schools to display signs and posters with the national motto "In God We Trust" in "conspicuous places." The law requires that the signs were either donated or purchased from private donations to the school.
"Read the bill. Sign must contain "In God We Trust" US flag, Texas flag and "may not depict" any other words or images," Hughes wrote. "Print what you like, but only these signs qualify under the law."
Is this your version of Freedom and small government

wdmso is online now Report Post
The signs had the right message, as required by law. One stated "In God We Trust" over a rainbow background. Another was in Arabic. But the Carroll school district in North Texas rejected the signs, saying it already has enough for its buildings.
Imagine that
