Ron DeSantis is 'Florida Man'

[Jilly_in_VA]

About once a month, you see a headline or hear about a story so absurd that it could only happen in one place – Florida. Well, here are a few more.

The worst state in the nation is in the thick of it again, as Republican Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 233 on Tuesday, a law that requires students and faculty of public Florida universities to be surveyed about their political beliefs starting next month.

That means it’s open season on Black athletes in Florida who want to kneel or tweet about politics.

“It used to be thought that a university campus was a place where you’d be exposed to a lot of different ideas,” DeSantis said during a news conference at Three Oaks Middle School in Fort Myers, according to the Naples Daily News. “Unfortunately, now the norm is really these are more intellectually repressive environments.”

2. He may not be the most despicable person on the planet...

…but he sure is trying to be the most despicable person on the planet.

Succeeding, too. Guy kick started his career helping give legal cover to the torture of Iraqis.

3. DeSantis sez ...

"Here, hold my beer while I go and slap that gator on the snout."


Let it be.

4. I once had an ICU manager

who was from the Philippines. When she got really mad at one of the docs, she would explode, "I like to kick his balls!" I kind of feel that way about DeathSantis.

Anyway, this is flatly unconstitutional.

6. DeSantis learned by watching Trump's rise this sort of shit appeals to the Republican base,

and everything he's doing now is to win over GOP primary voters.
