Imagine how well his charm would work with foreign relations...

I saw a larger audience at an event this weekend where a band made up of local teenagers was playing.

This is what happens when the anti-science GQP is in charge. What's next? Cholera? Smallpox?

Florida also has malaria cases now.  There ought to be warning signs at the border about how dangerous Florida is.

DeSantis is such a vile character.  I guess he thinks he sounds tough and strong to use such language.  The federal government has 4 million employees, according to the internets.  That's a lot of potential votes to start alienating.  "Hey vote for me and I'll start slitting the throats of you and your colleagues.  if you survive the bloodbath, you can take over the duties of your colleagues as well as your own."  Sounds like a great strategy.

DeSantis is such a creep that I would actually take him at his word. I put nothing past him. He is a dictator want to be.

[Xan]

Oh, Bootsie wouldn't slit any throats himself.  He'd order someone else to do it and then blame them when the shit hit the fan.  He's Donald Trump with a few more brain cells and no sense of humor.  I believe he thought that this was his election to win and he can't believe that he's polling so badly against an obvious criminal.  And he's between a rock and a hard place.  He can't attack Trump or he'll lose the base.  Mr. Harvard didn't think this through.  

I only hope that he's so tainted that his political career is over.  It will take Florida years to dig out of the hole he's created -- radioactive roads, ruined schools, no attention to climate change in a state that's barely above sea level, a major fight with Florida's biggest employer, and racism everywhere.  The only thing he's good at is being the vilest governor in the USA right now -- and that's saying something.

I moved here in March 2020 to work for the mouse. Every single day I wonder if this was the right decision or not. It really weighs on me (despite that fact that I do absolutely love my job).

[GreyhoundFan]

It looks like everyone is thinking, "kill me now":

 

[Becky]

That thing DeSantis does with his hair is a tic he repeats over and over again.  It seems to be a nervous response.  His handlers better cure him of that, stat - it's not a good look.

[GreyhoundFan]

Not a good look

 

[Becky]

I hate it when politicians trot out the children.  These kids have no choice but to get on stage and be gawked at.  It also could make the kids a target for any "loose cannon" types out there.

I think it's interesting how Ronnie has adopted Glen Trumpkin's (Jerk-VA) fleece vest.

 

[GreyhoundFan]

Ronnie is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

 

[GreyhoundFan]

Of course he is still nasty:

 

[Xan]

Worrell was the only Black female state attorney.  His minions are saying she was "Soros-backed".  

I keep hoping that the Floridians rise up with torches and pitchforks and escort Ron into the ocean.

Based off of this I think we need to start calling him Ronald instead of Ron.

Ronald DeSantis, whose nickname is Ron, is making some Florida students get their parent's permission to use their nickname

Florida students now need parental permission to use a nickname in school.

The new rule is thanks to legislation approved by the state's governor who famously goes by his nickname.

The rule also applies to transgender students who want to go by a preferred name instead of a legal name.

Students who attend school in Florida will now need parental permission to use a nickname or preferred name in school, thanks to a law put in place by the state's governor, Ronald DeSantis, who famously goes by a nickname — Ron.

The rule will soon hit all Florida districts and follows new legislation that was adopted in July that aims to "strengthen the rights of parents and safeguard their child's educational record to ensure the use of the child's legal name in school or a parent-approved nickname," according to Florida's Department of Education.

It's part of Florida House Bill 1069, which DeSantis approved earlier this year.

Fox 35 Orlando reported Tuesday that parents from Orange County could have to fill out a form granting their child permission to use a different name in school, whether that be a nickname, a shortened version of their legal name (like Ron), or a preferred name altogether, according to a memo from the Orange County Public Schools Office of Legal Services to district leaders and principals that went out Monday.

According to the Orange County Public Schools form, under the school board policy, "'The name of the student as recorded on the birth certificate or other supporting evidence as prescribed in Section 1003.21, Florida Statutes, shall be used until or unless a final court order verifies a legal name change."

The form also applies to transgender students who do not want to use their legal name, the school district said in the memo, FOX 35 reported.

„The form also applies …“ is bullshit. It’s really meant to only apply to transgender and non-binary kids. Old Ronald* doesn’t care about any Megan or Henry who want to be Meg or Harry. He’s trying to get rid of them wanting to be called Mark or Harriet. 
 

*I‘ll readily admit this un-nickname isn’t yet peak. We’ll need to work on that. How about Ronald Rubberboots?

Boy, Casey is setting a low bar here.

I see the people of Iowa are not in love with Ronnie. 

 

[GreyhoundFan]

He is truly disgusting
