is an ahole that is gambling with the children's future. He needs to go and if he does not I am sure the Florida parents will eventually rally against him.
what a moronic turd!

Last time I checked, this is a bodybuilding site. So, why are you surprised that I mentioned that, as ONE of several examples of businesses (and residents) fleeing blue states, particularly in the northeast, and heading here?

It was just a funny example. Like talking about the decline of the U.S. space program and using Mike Hughes as an example.

The biggest threat to Democrats right now is DeSantis.  When he fully opened his state it forced the blue states to follow that wanted to remain restricted.

 If you get your information from the Democrat complicit press like CBS, NBC, ABC, Washington Post, NY Times, CNN and the rest you are getting biased manipulated information.  I don't believe the stats coming from the Democrats reference Florida. The only stat that matters is death and it's low.

They have to destroy DeSantis, that's why Biden is reading negative things about him off his teleprompter.  Restrictions and masks are coming back because Democrats have to say it's too dangerous to vote in person so they can pull fraudulent elections again with mail in ballots. Right now even with biased polls Democrats know they are in trouble. Crank up the mail in votes and the counting computer for mail in ballots again.

 People are fleeing these blue states because of the destruction of Democrats.

He is a definite threat but my point is he may be blowing it as we speak. Here is Fox News explaining how he is strengthening his status with GOP voters. But he does NOT NEED GOP voters, he has them already. He needs CENTRIST VOTERS. The only thing that may save him is both COVID and the news cycle are so cyclical. California was in a world of hurt COVID wise and then BOOM they were fine. Same thing can happen in Florida and memories are short. But my advice to him still stands.

DeSantis is an empty husk—literally. He has no positions, opinions or thoughts. He goes where the wind blows. In that sense he’s both better and worse than Trump.

The sad thing is that none of these politicians will ever be held accountable, and whatever happens he’ll claim credit for anything good and deflect criticism for anything bad.

It’s pathetic really, how far we’ve come. From Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and Lincoln to Trump, Biden, Graham, Harris, McConnell, Schumer, DeSantis, Ocasio-Cortez and Taylor Greene.

Its revolting.

LMAO. That said, the point is that businesses are moving to more business friendly states where governments make your life somewhat less miserable.

My main problem with DeSantis is his ban on the PRIVATE cruise ship industry to mandate vaccines for passengers.
I don't agree with his ban on mask mandates in PUBLIC schools , but as GOV, it's his right to do so.

I thought PRIVATELY owned business and organizations could make their own policy?
Hmm, it looks like you are free to do what you want, , so long as the GOV agrees. ;)

TESTIFY!!!  ;D

Not to mention, the excuse for the indefinite lockdowns was there'd be no vaccines for at least 2-3 years. Once President Trump did "Operation Warp Speed" and the vaccines were available in late 2020, that trope went ka-blooey!!!

DeSantis nearly got screwed in 2018. He beat Andrew Gillum decisively to become governor. Then magically, the two MOST NOTORIOUS voter-fraud counties in the Sunshine State (Broward and Palm Beach) magically came up with some post-poll-closing votes to narrow DeSantis' lead to the point where we needed a recount.

Rick Scott saw his 60,000-vote lead get whittled to barely 12,000, thanks to this foolishness. And thanks to hand recounts for nearly two weeks, Scott BARELY held on to less than 10,000-vote lead to beat the seemingly invincible long-time FL Senator, Bill Nelson.

One local politician really got screwed; he won on election night. But thanks to those counties' shenanigans, they dredged up enough vote for him to end up losing to Nikki Fried, who ended up being FL's agricultural commissioner.

Now, she wants to take on DeSantis in 2022. And you can bet she'll be for shutdowns; so that she (or whoever DeSantis' challenger is) can scrounge up enough late post-election votes to steal DeSantis' job.

Yes, two times potentially. Governor of Florida in 2022 and then President in 2024. He has not announced for President and he will most likely want to be re-elected Governor. If he were to lose the Governor race, it would not bode well for his presidential run. Trump will support him in both elections. Trump likes him and does not especially like the others who might run for President (specifically Pence or Rubio or any of the RINOS that may run). He likes Cruz and Josh Hawley but neither of them could be elected dog catcher and Trump knows it. DeSantis’ latest COVID antics put him at risk even in the Florida governor race but I would guess he can pull it off in the end. Florida is RED RED in my view.

His antics? Desantis has my vote for 2022 and 2024 and I know millions of other will do the same.

I said “put him at risk”, not that he is certain to lose. I bet his Florida approval is underwater right now but, of course, that fluctuates. I don’t have a sense of who will oppose him. But you are correct that an incumbent governor generally has the advantage.

Local school districts should make the decisions for their schools, not Republican governors who theoretically believe in decentralized control. But you are correct that the cruise ship thing is absurd.

Like ban blacks/minorities from their businesses or rental properties? Or refuse to bake cakes for gays/trans?

Liberals floor me with their hypocrisy. ;D

You ( and the government especially) shouldn't be able to force a free American Citizen to do shit they don't want to do . That is the principle the country was founded on. A lot of blood was shed for that.

A few districts are like Broward County ( Ft Lauderdale) are ignoring the GOV and keeping the mask ban.
I'm no lawyer, but local boards may have the final word on this.
For example, I know it's up to each district to close school for bad weather.

God forbid a kid dies of covid that attends any school.
BUT, if they didn't do everything possible ( like masks and vaccine mandates), a wrongful death law suit could happen.

Isn't Florida leading the charge in new cases? 1 out of 5 in the US last I checked
I wouldn’t trust anything the national media says about Florida, desantis is a huge threat and they know it they try to dirty his name at every turn. I was there a few weeks ago in Orlando going to the parks you wouldn’t even know there’s a pandemic there if it wasn’t in the news everyday no masks anywhere, long lines including inside,and surprising nobody even coughing. Only place I saw a mask was at the airport and it’s the only airport I’ve actually seen free vaccines if u want one. I’ve been in the other airports supposibly doing that to but I haven’t seen it with my eyes maybe I was just in the wrong terminal Orlando I saw it arriving and leaving a separate room there offering free tests and vaccines

I'm one of those Florida parents and you are quite INCORRECT. DeSantis isn't gambling with our kids' future. He's making sure that the power to make crucial decisions for Florida's kids REMAINS in the hands of FLORIDA PARENTS, not power-hungry socialist Democrat mayors and teachers' unions, where it belongs.

The same folks who couldn't make up their minds whether masks actually work or not NOW want to force everyone to wear one...or else.....can pound sand.
Being a parent in comifornia I wish we had someone like desantis. Mask mandate back in effect here despite being over 80 or 85% vaxed in my city includes everyone 2 and over vaxed or not you need a mask. I’m waiting for these morons to close the schools again for another year. If people don’t wake the fuck up more people and states are gonna continue to lose their freedom/freedom of choice

And as a result, if parents don't want their kids to be forced to wear a mask, DeSantis and crew just authorized a bill giving those parents vouchers to send their kids to a private school of their choice.

Our schools weren't closed....completely. But, parents had to make a choice whether to use virtual school, regular brick-and-mortar school, or a combination of the two.

Last year, the private school which my kids attended opened 3 weeks late, because of all of the confusion from this virus mess. In the end, the whole school went "cottage" That is, kids attended class twice a week and the parents homeschool their respective children the rest of the time.

Now, it's full steam ahead. The teachers are honoring the wishes of the parents. If they want their kids masked, their kids will remained masked. But, it's not mandatory. Last year, kids had to wear masks in the hallway, in chapel, and at other large assemblies. But, in class, masks were optional. But classes were smaller last year. My son's class had only seven kids (including him).

I live in Florida and disagree with DeSantis's decision... I know I'm about to get flamed like crazy.... But here is what confuses me.... I thought a Republican stance kept big government out of decisions as much as possible and would push things down to the local level?  Why not let the school district decide?  Is it only when it's convenient for them that this mentality applies?

I think DeSantis will win the next election (he won't get my vote... Although I'm not sure who will)... I don't think it will be a landslide as there is still a big liberal community here in Florida that is pissed off by what he is doing, but it won't be enough to cost him the vote.  He is a smart guy and is playing his cards right with his base and they are eating it up and loving him for it.

I will add this, sadly, two weeks after schools started I went to pick up some food and I passed a children's clinic and the line outside was over a block long... I had been to that same clinic a few times and I've never seen it anywhere close to this. It was shocking and heartbreaking.
