Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a new cause: using the power of the state to harass parents who see drag performances as family entertainment.


Last week, DeSantis (R) projected distress after video emerged of children attending a “Drag the Kids to Pride” show in Texas. “That is totally inappropriate,” he said. “That is not something children should be exposed to.” He added: “We have child protective statutes on the books,” and “we may have the ability to deal with something like that.”

Wow he had nothing to say about the children gunned down in a Texas but this…

Smells very fascist but Ron supporters call it Merica

see, ten minutes ago, when I posted video of Biden saying something stupid, you criticized me for taking him literally. But here, you’re not giving Desantis the same benefit.

It’s ALMOST as if you have one set of standards for democrats, and a different set or republicans

If you want to say there’s no issue with taking 8 year olds to a drag show, you have fun with that.

Did you even read your own article

He rolled them in to one planned campaign speech

Hitting all conservatives talking points

The Buffalo shooter, for example, said ‘you know I’m going places where I don’t have to worry about people, conceal carry, or anything like that,’”

A guy with a gun had shot him?
9mm vs 223 not a fair fight


DeSantis did not remark on the fact that the alleged shooter is a self-proclaimed white supremacist “who traveled more than 200 miles…to commit his attack

Of course he mentioned evil and Mental health and school safety


Then, DeSantis suddenly veered into a discussion on the United States’ withdrawal from the decades long war in Afghanistan last year.

But not a mention of gun safety or age limits background checks

Yet his state In 2018, after a 19-year-old carried out a mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, the state enacted a law prohibiting minors under age 21 from purchasing firearms.1 The law also prohibits licensed dealers from making or facilitating the sale or transfer of a firearm to a person under 21 years of age.

Florida law penalizes any parent or guardian, or other adult responsible for the welfare of a minor, who knowingly and willfully permits the minor to possess a firearm in violation these provisions.7
Florida penalizes any person who knowingly or willfully sells or transfers a firearm to a minor without the permission of the minor’s parent or guardian


But he won’t sell that example to the voters he’s trying to win over

He is a coward just looking for votes targeting people he knows his core supporters hate and avoiding looking like he’s not. Owning the Libs

Apparently Flip Wilson terrified DeathSantis as a child, meanwhile his pet Russian agent Christina Pushaw who got caught being an unregistered foreign agent.

Why does Desantis have a foreign agent as his press secretary?

Where did that happen before?

The national debt has rose by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country.

you said he hasn’t commented on it, he did. I’m sorry you got caught lying.

Desantis approval rate is a hair under 60% in a state that people can’t move to fast enough. Despite having no income tax, FL has managed to find a way to offer a quality of life that’s enough for many americans. That’s called “winning.”.

any chance you can answer my question? Wayne criticized Desantis for not commenting on an event ( even though he did comment on it, to which wayne replied he should
mind his own bee’s wax).

I asked Biden commented on the Kavanaugh plot, because as of recently he hadn’t.

Your side almost certainly leaked the opinion. Your side published their home addresses. Your sides press secretary said that Biden encourages people to protest at their homes, in blatant violation of federal law. Your sides senate majority leader called kavanaugh out by name, said he’d reap the whirlwind and never know what hit him. And your sides AG refuses to enforce black letter federal law even after the assassination attempt.

And America sees all this.

The ethnic group that Biden has the lowest approval ratings with? Hispanics. IF that’s true, and that’s a big if, the gop can’t lose.

the answer to all your questions is a resounding no.

but he came closer to killing kavanaugh than anyone did of toppling o government in jail day 6.

in a few months, the speculation is over, we get to see what america has to say about all this. We’ll see who understands what america is feeling, and who has his head in the sand b their fingers in heir ears.

in a TX special election last night, a house seat that had been blue for 10 years went red. The winning republican was a female Hispanic, the first ever mexican born member of congress.

if the voters don’t like desantis, he’s up for re election in november, that’s the remedy. His approval ratings are pretty healthy in his state, which lets be honest, is why you’re scared sh*tless about the prospect of any democrat running against him in 2024, because he’s a very effective governor.

no state income tax, yet the state creates a landscape where huge numbers of americans want to live.

No state income tax, yet his public universities cost a ton less than what UCONN costs, and i pay enormous state taxes. ant that a good thing? to offer low cost college education?

His state didn’t shut down like others, and his state has a huge elderly population, yet his covid death rate was lower than that of NY, where the governor was called the “gold standard” by Biden, got book deals and Hollywood awards tossed at his feet. And Desantis did better by any conceivable
measure, despite having more elderly folks.

People and businesses are moving to his state. There’s a reason why. And it’s not just weather, or people
would also be moving to southern CA, and they aren’t.

when faced with all the evidence that's exactly what they want to do !

Ask gay families ask Trans families Ask Drag queens . ask women seeking an abortion ask the families of the murdered children Ask the people of AMERICA who watched the GOP AKA Trump try to steal their votes and then see that same GOP refuse it Admit actually happened

then try to tell me and other Republicans want Americans to Have choices :rotflmao::rotflmao:

you basically confirmed what i claimed Faucci said….there’s zero evidence that kids younger then 5 need this.

do you really think desantis doesn’t care about little kids?

i’m not relying on any headline, I saw Fauccis testimony.

If, two years from now, FL has a high mortality rate among kids younger than 5, i’ll be the first to admit Desantis was wrong. But with all the things Fesantis was shown to be right about, have you ever co ceded a single
one?

No. because all you care about is The Narrative. The Narrative is going to check itself into rehab in November.

read this…Desantis’ approval
ratings are a tick under 60%, he didn’t impose lockdowns on his citizens that even John’s Hopkins said didn’t change mortality rates, his state has no income tax, and 800 people a day are moving there from other states.

That’s called winning. And Desantis debating any prominent democrat would be as close a contest as Mr T getting in a wresting match with Don Knotts.

Why I stopped mostly posting here, besides the time sink factor, is that we rehash the same #^&#^&#^&#^& every other week (on both sides).

Jim, this article came out in February. There was a thread on it when you posted it then. It was a non-reviewed paper by a trio of economists. This was not a John Hopkins study, it was a #^&#^&#^&#^&tily done literature review that got crucified by actual public health and epidemiologists. Read some of the reviews of this work and how seriously flawed it was.

From one article reviewing the referenced piece
'For starters, experts commenting for the U.K. Science Media Centre warned about the paper's questionable definition of "lockdown." Samir Bhatt, DPhil, a professor of statistics and public health at Imperial College London, said in that statement that the study's "most inconsistent aspect is the reinterpreting of what a lockdown is."

"The authors define lockdown as 'the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention [NPI].' This would make a mask-wearing policy a lockdown," Bhatt stated.'

I am not saying lockdowns should have been done, or shouldn't have been done. In the first months of the pandemic there were A LOT of unknowns of this thing. Clearly there were innumerous negative consequences, but hindsight is 2020, and that is not the direction things went later in the pandemic.

Little difference between DeathSantis or Trump

The fact that the GOP is trying to sell DeSantis as “Trump, but smarter” should be a giant red flag.

Ron DeSantis appointed a QAnon conspiracy theorist, who believes there was fraud in the 2020 election & Trump' won. He's Florida's new Secretary of State, a position that oversees elections.

Jim is really confused about what sexuality really means.

I’m pretty sure you don’t know what tolerance really means.

Like wayne, i know for a certain that i was pro gay marriage before you. I know this, because i was pro gay marriage when obama was adamantly opposed to it, and we all know it’ll be a cold day before you ever disagreed with him on anything.

I’ll tolerate that all day long and happily explain why. But i don’t want it shoved in my face every time i turn around, i dont want to see parades celebrating any kind of sexuality, and i really don’t want my little kids seeing it.

There’s a big, big difference between tolerating something and celebrating something. I don’t think anyone’s homosexuality is any more of an accomplishment than my heterosexuality.

What is a cause for celebration, is that we’ve all evolved from the very recent close-minded opinions of people like Hilary and Obama ( and nearly everyone in the GOP obviously).

The fact that one person is attracted to another person, isn’t anything to celebrate or be proud of, it’s something that’s nobody else’s business.

conservatives like freedom, but aren’t keen on what we’d consider to be murder of the unborn.

The fact that you think
opposing abortion is inconsistent with conservative ideals, shows the depths of your complete ignorance.

Conservatives believe there are two sides to the abortion issue, two people involved.

judges. I guess you have no idea what the blindfold represents on every statue of lady justice in every courthouse in the country.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Actually activist judges have now interpreted this to mean citizens, not militia and overturned a hundred year old state law.

Generations of Supreme Court and academic opinion held that the amendment did not confer on individuals a right “to keep and bear Arms” but, rather, referred only to the privileges belonging to state militias. This was not a controversial view. The late Chief Justice Warren E. Burger said, in 1991, that the idea that the Second Amendment conferred a right for individuals to bear arms was “a fraud on the American public.” Burger was no liberal, and his view simply reflected the overwhelming consensus on the issue at the time.

But hopefully you’ll get the results you wished for.

Over 20,000 civilians have been killed by gun violence in the US in 2022 so far.

Compare that with 4,662 verified civilian war deaths in Ukraine.

For 108 years, New York has said that anyone who wants to carry a gun in public must apply for a license that shows a demonstrated need to carry the gun beyond average public safety fears. This is known as “proper cause.”

Then conservatives started twisting the constitution.. in the 80s shocking

Now they will be filing lawsuits stating requirements of a permit or license is unconstitutional. And their hand picked justices will do as they are told

Classic you couldn’t figure out the comments were about uvalde

Let me guess if that was your kids school . You would be out shaking their hands for their hard work and dedication to the community..

It’s odd how conservatives demand accountability from everyone but themselves and those they support

Then try to twist that accountable as some form of plot for discrediting the police or the POTUS

But claiming Biden took showers with his daughter is what exactly ?accountability or Discrediting

Or just the usual Childlike like lies and. Name calling and pedo obsession the right is famous for?

although, i’m not sure what the practical effect is. abortion will still be available, just not everywhere.

for all his many many faults, Trump will go down as, by far, the best friend the unborn ever had in the Oval Office.

liberals wanted criminal justice reform for decades. Conservatives wanted Roe overturned for decades. Trump delivered both. Amazing.

you may have to buy insurance, but not from any one company. each company has to make its customers want to hand over their money. That’s very different from deducting it directly from everyone’s paycheck. Couldn’t be more different.

i still have to provide proof of health insurance with my tax return to avoid paying a penalty.

Jim you support stealing and receiving pay and benefits with out paying for those

A union is like a car wash you pay to get your car washed . But in your example it a crime to demand a form of payment for services only if it’s a Union and not wanting to pay for that service in your eyes isn’t stealing it’s freedom LOL

In Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, 431 U.S. 209 (1977), the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that no violation of the First and 14th Amendments existed in an arrangement under which nonunion government employees represented by a union had to pay a service fee equal in amount to union fees as a condition of their employment.


But On June 27, 2018, the United States Supreme Court ruled that mandated payment of so-called “agency fees” by non-union members in the public sector violated First Amendment principles protecting freedom of speech and association


By the same crowd who just overturned roe.

Majority: Alito, joined by Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, Gorsuch

Wow another example of claiming the above unanimous decision was wrong .. and over turning precedents so the conservatives plan is to flood the SC with past cases they don’t like . Till they get sympthic judges like the have and hope
The Justices use the "Rule of Four” And get their case before the court

Now I know how the football coach prayer case made it .

it’s a lot easier for you to respond to gibberish that i never said.

I don’t expect anything for free. but i recognize that the way the “real world” works, is accepting choice and competition. Public sector u jobs dont want that, they want a government mandates monopoly, that way they don’t have to be forced to try as hard as they have to try if there was competition.

Your upset that if people are required to pay a fee for union bargaining for pay and benefits you considered that idea wrong,

So the logical view is you support people getting Aka stealing a benefit they want but are unwilling to pay for .

Or simply stealing?
How is it anything else
