Absolutely disgusting. And shows that Ron Mussolini DeSantis cares more about political donors than state employees.Quote:

He Do.
Now the US media must juggle fact and opinion on the 'achievements' of RDS in Florida. But will he take on Trump? And I mean with brutal intent?
Completely agree 1000% it is hilarious.Quote:

I guess this is why he didn't resign from office before running for president:

Completely agree,that is the reason the Socially Awkward Ron Mussolini DeSantis didn't resign from office,because he needs all the money he can get to run his fledgling presidential campaign.Quote:

This is an astonishing thing to say, could Disney sue for libel?
"Speaking to Fox News, DeSantis said the fight with Disney was about “standing for parents … standing for children. And I think a multibillion-dollar company that sexualises children is not consistent with the values of Florida or the values of a place like Iowa”, which will hold the first Republican contest next year."
- sorry forgot the link, it's from todays edition of The Guardian.
That would be slander, not libel (libel is for slander in print), but probably not.Quote:

Chilling too. But, on this morning's radio show on BBC Radio 4, an American commentator whose name I cannot recall, suggested that while at the moment Trump 'owns' the Republican Party nomination process, if the indictments keep coming and the evidence is not in Trump's favour, De Santis has to take the momentum away from Trump and take it for himself. In other words, he has to declare his view that Trump is unfit for public office. What the American did not say, is that De Santis could court some Trump supporters by indicating that were he to become President, he would pardon Trump of his crimes -he might have done this already.Quote:

In the link, a useful video from the Santis Sympathetic Telegraph. But note this quote from the man himself-
"...ultimately a society needs to be grounded in truth" (@04.17)
What is the truth about Slavery, about Racism in the USA, about the success and failure of Capitalism? How interested in the truth is De Santis, when the truth does not match his personal ideology as he declares his intention to impose it on the FBI from
'day one'...

I don't know about 'Grand Wizard' but De Santis seems to think he has the same 'absolute' powers as Trump.
DeSantis asks Trump-appointed judge to dismiss Disney's lawsuit against him, claiming immunity (yahoo.com)
The irony, surely, is that for most of my life, Disney was considered 'Family Entertainment' (and still is I think). It meant parents knew if they took their children to a Disney film, there would not be any swearing, even partial nudity though I think swimwear might have been acceptable. There was no sex, drugs or violence but there was often a moral core of the wholesome good-vs-evil kind that most parents, regardless of religion, would approve of.
You would think from De Santis that Disney has now become a Neo-Marxist entertainment conspiracy determined to trash the values we are told Republicans believe define the USA: God, Family and Country. If this is true, I am not aware of it unless Frozen has a cryptic Lesbian storyline, Mulan a cryptic endorsement of Asian immigration, and Pinocchio smuggling in an attack on American's most famous liar, Donald J Trump. Three cases of so what? rather than Be afraid, be very afraid.
If the Corporation wants its staff to attend courses on Diversity and Inclusion is it because the corporation now employs Diverse people who it wants to feel part of, to be included in the 'Disney Family' ? -how are these Family Values a threat to the 'Free State of Florida' -and for that matter, since when does a 'Free Market' Republican believe he had the right to interfere in a private Corporation with which his predecessors granted extraordinary rights in the State? But I guess De Santis, like Trump no longer believes in Capitalism as it was when that other Ronald, was President.
Or maybe De Santis just has a short fuse, a thin skin, and secretly wants to roast Bambi on a Bar-B-Q?
Another blow to De Santis, and a victory -temporary?- for the USA...
Happy 4th of July!
Judge blocks new Florida election law, signed by DeSantis this spring, calling it the 'latest assault on the right to vote' (yahoo.com)
The state will no doubt appeal, and likely keep the law in effect during the process. Or they'll just make another law and stall any protest until after the election.Quote:

What a pair!Quote:

If De Santis is doing so badly - so far- in the Presidential stakes, does this suggest he would struggle to get re-elected Governor? Can Florida be flipped?
He's in his second term and in Florida a governor can't serve more than two consecutive terms, so he would have to wait one term to run again (unless he gets the legislature to change the state constitution for him).Quote:
