Ron's done some good things. I think @Lanny would be proud of some of DeSantis' past accomplishments. https://www.the-sun.com/news/4458927/ron-desantis-iraq-war-navy-attorney-military/ DeSantis, 43, was assigned to the Navy's Judge Advocate General's Corps (or JAG) in 2004, after completing his undergraduate degree at Yale, and while enrolled at Harvard Law School. According to the Tampa Bay Times, DeSantis served as a Navy attorney serving as senior legal advisor to SEAL team captain Dane Thorleifson. Capt. Thorleifson commanded the Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah. DeSantis oversaw detainees, making sure they were treated humanely, and also monitored missions of Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets in his jurisdiction, making sure they followed the rule of law. While in Iraq, DeSantis worked to protect the rights of around 100 detainees, and made sure any interrogations followed US military rules as well as the Geneva Conventions. Thorleifson told the Tampa Bay Times that DeSantis became "one of my very close counsels," and that he had a lot of respect for DeSantis. "He was super smart, articulate, resourceful and a positive part of the staff. I relied on him heavily," Capt. Thorleifson told the outlet. DeSantis was honorably discharged from active duty in 2010 and elected to the House of Representatives in 2012. In August 2018, DeSantis won Florida's gubernatorial election after defeating Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum......(CONTINUED)

The Scary Parallels Between Trump and Mussolini | History News Network "Comparisons between Trump(ism) and Fascism have become frequent, and with good reason. These comparisons are strongest between Trump and Mussolini — stronger than with Hitler and Nazi-ism. Detailed comparisons are difficult for at least two reasons: 1) the historical circumstances are quite different between the 20s and 30s and today, and 2) Fascism was never a coherent political theory or philosophy, but, instead, was a populist and nationalist development in Italy that Mussolini did not create, but did take over."
This makes him in ways worse than Trump because he possesses intelligence and yet still depraves himself with such a low brand of politics.
There are only a few honest republicans that will stand for democracy currently....which is good enough reason to bail on that party or vote for a Liz Cheney, Adam Kinsinger or Mitt Romney...any of whom would probably run away with an election against Biden.....but they won't...they'll find another snake oil salesman who'll lie for power and authoritarian control. Lying, controlling the media and stifling civil rights is all the GOP is running on now so if you follow that cult...you're part of the problem unless you are ok with authoritarian dictator like leadership.
Well, at least Mark Hamill has said in the past stay clear away from Romney. But, then again, what does he know. LOL https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mark-hamill-mitt-romney-i_n_1944982 Dude, they're ALL liars! Face it.
lying about an attempt at overthrowing the nation is exclusive to your party of choice....there's lying about a blowjob...Clinton...or lying about losing an election ...your party leaderships BIG LIE ....dump the GOP...they have shamed themselves and divided the nation. fact.....
Actually the democratic south damn near over through the nation back in mid 1800's ....lol Thank goodness for Grant, Sherman & Sheridan. ANDS ABE
DeathSantis asked state legislature for $6 million for a special election police accountable only to him, with power to monitor polling places, question and arrest voters and arrest election workers. He also inserted himself into Florida redistricting, cutting majority Black districts in half, and guaranteeing Republicans eight seat majority regardless of total votes.
absolutely true...times have changed.. we still face a similar standoff with civil rights and white privilege as the points of contention. Unfortunately the white leadership of both parties practiced racist public policies long after the civil war...racism was a white tool of power...not political affiliation as much. Religious fundamentalists no longer dominate both political parties like back in those days either. Women still couldn't vote
Sheesh. People moving to Florida is not an endorsement of DeSantis. People move to (and from) Florida for all sorts of reasons. Not everyone makes their personal decisions based on who the governor happens to be at the time. barfo
Maybe he will finally be ABM's great white hope that Trump was too stupid to fulfill. Outlaw abortion, overturn marriage equality, only teach nice things in history class. Make America great again, when everyone was straight, white and Christian.
Well, whatever he's done, it doesn't seem to be all bad. https://abc7ny.com/new-york-to-florida-pandemic-moving-delta-variant-covid/10901991/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffst...-to-rebound-first-from-covid/?sh=1ca844e9303d
