Floridians are pissed!

[Frank Apisa]

Indeed.

He is a good and decent man, a true leader, who has stopped the teaching and advocacy of perversion to kindergarteners.

The far left, radical Democrat Socialists are in panic mode as his leadership in times of crisis is shining... presidential material.

He is an asshole who only appeals to others who are assholes. So...he is perfect for the assholes of the MAGA crowd. They love assholes.

That's what the cultists like about Trump. He's dumb, barely literate, and knows nothing substantive about policy and governance. But he supposedly sticks it to the libs on Twitter and on the failing Truth Social.

If we had a dollar for every time one of the Cultists has posted "Trump (or DeSantis) makes libtards' heads explode," we too could buy a golf course. lol

Was that really a significant problem there in Florida? Lots of kindergartens teaching perversion 101?

[Jarod]

I've never seen any of you write anything about what Desantis is doing in the realm of real, actual governance.

The worship of Desantis seems to be entirely based on him 'stickin' it' to teachers, liberals, asylum seekers

He does very little in that realm, he spends his time playing, cultural war, games, and trying to “own the libs”.

If you ask the idiotic conservatives, they believe it really was a bad problem here in Florida, but it never was. There’s no documentation anywhere if such a problem. Trumpers are so idiotic that you can make up a pretend problem, then pretend you solve it, then they love you because you solved the pretend problem.

[McRocket]

Governor DeSatin spent money on "Don't Say Gay laws" and shipping Texas immigrants to Martha's Vineyard.

Now a million Floridians are out of power, that would have been money better spent hardening the electrical grid for such a situation.

Shame on him!

First, I think DeSantis is an idiot.

But second - DeSantis has NOTHING DIRECTLY to do with the power grid in Florida.

Florida Power & Light Co is the state's, largest power provider.

IT IS A PRIVATE, FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION.

Well, he maybe an asshole.

But I am quite sure there are decent people who support him.
Just as there were millions of decent Reps who disliked Trump.
But held their noses and voted for him anyway.

Making derogatory, all-encompassing assumptions about millions of people you have never met is NEVER a good idea.

It was significant enough to cause parents to lobby their legislators to pass a bill to stop the teaching of perversion and CRT to kindergartens.

It caused Virginia to flip from blue to red.

Don’t get between parents and their children’s education.

Yeah, and some of us still remember the "Satanic Panic" of the late 80's when parents were convinced teachers in various schools were leading their children down into dungeons for satanic rites. Parental fear seems a bit easily manipulated.

Don’t get between parents and their children’s education.

Clearly.

It is a private for profit corporation heavily regulated by the government and granted a monopoly by the State of Florida. TECO is also in the same situation.

FPL has to ask the State for permission to charge customers more than what was already agreed upon by the State. They get huge funding from the state for improvement projects.

Irrelevant.
It is still a for-profit corporation.

You are talking like they are a state-owned corporation.
Which they are not.


Are you seriously suggesting that the Florida government should be giving BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, DIRECTLY to publicly-owned/traded, for-profit corporations?

Yes or no, please?

Hello Jarod,

Now a million Floridians are out of power, that would have been money better spent hardening the electrical grid for such a situation.

Shame on him!

Must be no fun living in hot and humid conditions with no AC and living out of a cooler. We can almost hear the collective "Thanks a lot, DeSantis."

Yes, and they already do.

I did not lose power, but I have lived that in past hurricanes, it is NOT fun. It can be avoided, and it should be avoided.

To anyone considering voting for Trump again...or considering voting for DeSantis...or, for that matter, voting for ANY Republican right now...

...I say, "You are a fucking asshole, no matter what McRocket seems to think."

Right now our Republic is in danger from the Republicans.

McRocket...I do not care how sure you are that there are decent people who support DeSantis...or how sure you are that there were decent Republicans who "held their noses and voted for Trump."

ANYONE right now considering voting for Trump, DeSantis, or any other Republicans, in my opinion, is considering giving our nation over to people not fit for leadership of any kind.
