Ron’s at it again

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

And here I thought you were referring to Raider Ronnie, who made a point to say he wasn't going to put his boat in the water due to the cost of gas under the Biden administration, then goes and says in a Weekend Plans thread that he was doing a charter.........So what was it, Ronnie? In the water or up on the hard?

you said he didn’t comment on the shooting, i proved he did. just say you made a mistake and move on for gods sake, would that kill you?

maybe every time the stock market goes down another 10%, we can have another scripted news conference about january 6th. that’s what people want to hear. No one cares what food costs, or what gas costs, or that their 401ks and college savings plans are sinking.

We want to hear more resins why Trump is bad. That’s what matters!

Taking little kids to drag queen shows is a great stand to make. stick with that. that will be very popular outside of CA and NY.

Constant dog whistle footing to pander for the mouth breathers who will vote for him in 2024. He doesn’t care about real issues. He just is pushing all the buttons to stay in the National news.

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?

people and businesses are moving to his state in massive numbers. is that not real? i can send my kids to public universities in FL and pay non resident rates, for less money than it costs to send my kids to UCONN and pay in state tuition.

that’s real, is t it? his state has no income tax yet they manage to offer college tuition to people for far less than CT can manage.

That’s real.

My boat is in my big shelter at my house.
I’m running an Ave Maria boat on the weekends
What does my boat have to do with this topic ???
I didn’t even reply

I also posted in the weekend tread I was going to the gun range.
I just came back from the range tonight with my younger son.
You want a report on that also ?
100 rounds of 9mm & it felt awesome 👏
With the $ I’m saving on fuel & dockage I’m ready to purchase a pre-ban AR-15.

I love being lectured about the dire state of the U.S. economy, and the (undeniable) hit on Americans’ wages from inflation, by Trumplicans who don’t support raising the minimum wage, providing affordable childcare, or guaranteeing universal healthcare.

That $15 doesn’t buy 1/3 of what those people were able to buy during Trumps years.

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.

Send him some more money, he needs it

Is a comment

Hea I bet someone saying no comment. meets you love of being technically correct.

Content means nothing

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.”.

Has Biden commented on Kavanaugh almost getting assassinated?

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.

you’re the one who dodged my question paul.

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.

not a good sign for the DNC.

You made a statement that Kavanaugh almost got assassinated and I asked for more details and you go off on a tangent.
