I detested Scarborough as a REP. I'm one degree of separation from detesting him as an IND (or NPA) so I don't watch him BUT I did actually see this this AM since I woke up in the wee hours.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe begs Trump to ask ‘coward’ Ron DeSantis to shut down Florida before his ‘jackass’ supporters die

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called on President Donald Trump to urge one of his strongest supporters to shut down Florida to halt the spread of the coronavirus.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is resisting calls to order a statewide lockdown during the outbreak, and the “Morning Joe” host said the president must exercise his leadership to save his own supporters from the deadly virus.

“If Ron DeSantis, Mr. President, is too much of a coward to shut down the state of Florida on his own, you need to give him a call today and tell him to shut down the state of Florida,” Scarborough said, “or there are going to be a lot of dead senior citizens that are going to have to be buried over the next couple months because of this virus. That’s science, that’s not politics. It’s Republicans, as well as Democrats, that are going to die. People in the greatest generation, a lot of them born in World War II or born during the Great Depression and grew up and were around during World War II and help build the American century.”


“Those are the people who are being betrayed and abandoned right now because the governor of the state of Florida won’t shut down beaches and sandbars,” he added, “and I tell you, last weekend, I saw pictures from last weekend the sandbars were still packed. By the way, Mr. President, a lot of Trump flags on the boats at the sandbars with people acting like total jackasses infecting each other, taking those viruses home and infecting their grandparents and sending them to hospitals.”

Sounds like a case of two cowards passing the buck back and forth.

Oh, yes - I understand your version very well. It is a pretence that the populations minority states are somehow different from and needing protection from the democratic majority, just because they are not allowed to hear anything but country music and Nazi propaganda, whereas others can.

lol.. you understand nothing- the Constitution has built in protections against pure (democratic) majority rule

You could care less if 500,000 died so long as trump gets reelected. Its time to put these deaths in perspective and question how many fewer would have died if Trump had acted promptly back in January. All he cared about was the stock market and his reelection, so everyone was lied to and still is today.

/shrugs....from my perspective you could care less whatever happens so long as he doesn't.......you've made that clear since the election in 2016.....

Texas, Florida are 'wild card' in coronavirus outbreak, says ex-FDA chief

BY IAN SWANSON - 04/01/20 09:19 AM EDT 856

Florida and Texas are “wild card” states that could leave the United States with more deaths from the coronavirus if they don’t take tougher actions, former Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in a Wednesday interview with CNBC.

Gottlieb said he was optimistic the U.S. could still flatten the curve and perhaps avoid the 100,00 to 240,000 coronavirus deaths that White House officials warned could result from the virus even if strict measures were taken across the country.

But he said he was worried about “populist” states such as Texas and Florida that he said had not taken stringent measures.

“I think the real wild card here, and the decision point on whether or not we’re going to have the bad outcome that Drs. Fauci and Birx talk about, is what populist states like Texas and Florida do,” Gottlieb said, referring to Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Deborah Birx, the coordinator for the White House coronavirus task force.

Gottlieb, the FDA commissioner under President Trump from 2017 to 2019, said the two states hadn’t really taken aggressive steps even now and that “if they don’t get more aggressive we could be on the cusp of some bad outcomes.”....

Many DEMOCRATS are moving to red states to escape the high taxation and lousy busybody governments of DEMOCRAT shithole states, and then they try to make their new abode just like the places they fled.

Except the state is evenly split REPS DEM and INDS. So WHICH 2/3 are trying to make it a shithole?

Exemptions include fishing and exercising. The Stay at home order is meaningless. Just an effort by the governor to be able to say he did something.
