Does anyone remember a guy called Ron Desantis ?

Ron DeSantis’s fall from grace: ‘He’s completely crashed to the ground’

Florida governor stands isolated from Trump and is feuding with Republicans at home – is he drifting to irrelevance?

www.theguardian.com

He was going to be President a few years back. DeFuture in fact.

Now hes en route to the Fox sofa to keep it warm for "Pete" Hegseth.

His wife was going to be the new Gov but it turns out shes a crook.
America had a lucky escape. Isnt it funny how things turn out ?

 

[berg80]

He may be off the national stage but his regressive policies aren't.

When it comes to education, America under President Trump increasingly looks a lot like Florida under Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The Supreme Court is poised to allow parents to opt their children out of school lessons they oppose on religious grounds; in Florida, parents already have some opt-out rights.

The Trump administration has moved to withhold funding from schools and colleges with diversity practices it opposes, while pushing a “patriotic” curriculum.

Mr. DeSantis got there first.

At the same time, Mr. DeSantis and his allies in the state legislature restricted how race, gender, sexuality and American history could be talked about in public schools.

Lessons on white privilege were banned, as were discussions of L.G.B.T.Q. identities in the early grades. Teachers of all subjects were offered $3,000 bonuses to attend trainings in a required new civics curriculum, which emphasized Constitutional originalism and the Christian beliefs of the Founding Fathers. Educators could be fired for affirming a student’s transgender identity.

I never believed he could win in a General Election. I stated as much even when Trump was at his lowest.

He lacks any sort of charm or charisma.

So......what's the silver-lining on this dark cloud?

Repubs had a fit over a curriculum that included treating people humanely but have no problem cramming christian beliefs down the throats of public school students over the religious objection of their parents.

He is a great governor. He has managed the economy responsibly while building up infrastructure as he can.

If it exists, exists at all, it is because Progressive Socialist Communists are/were remaking areas of the nation into the motherland of the Soviet Union. However, it may go current CCP style with strong Communist government and a somewhat capitalist manufacturing production system like the United States had in the early 20th century. All of it enforced by the Ministry of State Security. MSS.

Basically a gossip thread by our local English fish wife.

Nothing witty about Desantis/De Fuckedup. At least try to rhyme, Tummy.

He's running Florida properly, which is his job.

What's missing from education all of a sudden?
CRT? Penis-ectomy lessons? Drag queen story hour?

 

[Rambunctious]

Nice try Guardian... He was at the white house for lunch not long ago... he will be in national politics again either by appointment or election....
Florida is thriving economically and the streets are safer... if this rag wants to pick on a governor why not choose one from a failed state like California or NY or Illinois....

Oh, God...another liberal quoting The Guardian! Ron DeSantis is my Governor here in Florida and he's well respected and doing a fantastic job. America would be lucky to have him as their President.

Oh look, another guilty before proven so. Imagine that. In fact, why not just throw them all in jail without a trial?

DeSantis had to be made an example of just like Trump because of his effectiveness in fighting the Left as he turned Florida bright red. But like Trump when the law suites come and assassination attempts come as a result, will you stand firm and still fight?

That is yet to be determined.
