I suggest Florida Governor Ron DeSantis be dubbed "Governor Little Putin".

"Little Putin" sounds a lot like "Lilliputian", doesn't it? And a Lilliputian is defined as "a trivial or very small person or thing."

The story so far: DeSantis signed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Disney spoke out in protest, and now the Florida legislature is discussing punishing Disney by revoking the agreement between Florida and Disney.

DeSantis is pure evil clawing for power. He is not the least bit burdened by morals, ethics or justice and he doesn't care who he has to run over in his journey to the White House. DeSantis is more dangerous than Trump because he does not look or act like a circus clown.

He is the perfect Republican and perhaps the most dangerous man in America.

and are covered by the First Amendment but actual political speech is going too far. WTAF! “”For Disney to come out and put a statement and say that the bill should have never passed and that they are going to actively work to repeal it, I think, one was fundamentally dishonest but, two I think that crossed the line,” DeSantis said Tuesday.“
