Where is the tough guy Desantis, he has disappeared.

I see the true Desantis now. A scared dork. Talking tough, acting tough, hurting people weaker than you because your Governor, doesn't work so well when faced with a major crisis. This guy wants to be president?

cities not discussing why they keep broadcasting sports on 20 x-limbaugh stations.

what the fuck are these universities doing? how many of their students and alum were effected by IAN, are LGBTQ? .

FLORIDA 20 Florida 10, Florida St. 4 Miami 2, South Florida 2, Central Florida 2

14 universities in Ian's path - Fla, Ga, SC, and NC - support 54 global warming denying radio stations!

but for linemen according to a source that I'll not link (The New York Post).

He's doing photo ops rather than administrative duties during this emergency.

First he tells us we should have known better and not waited until mandatory evacuations were announced before we evacuated. Now we get to listen to Top Gov bloviate about Florida being a 2nd Amendment state with fierce residents. Yup, that was the extent of his warning to looters. So it's now up to the victim of the hurricane to stand guard over their destroyed home with no food or water or shelter. And if you don't have a gun, well too bad, so sad.

And if you decide to spare the looter's life, good luck getting thru to authorities to have them come around to collect them. Last time I called the number posted everywhere for the Lee County Sheriff's Office, I got a recording that said I had reached the after hours line. Except it wasn't after hours.

He must be trying to kill them!

The only landslide he's going to see is a pile of Dem voters, and others sick of his bullshit.

But that's just not how it works.

They can't "hide" fatalities" for crying out loud.

After disclosing that there were hundreds of fatalities quickly changed his tune after being 'talked to'.

Also, funny how Gov. Man Bewbs arrested the data scientist after she disclosed that the number of Covid fatalities reported by the state were wrong (she being the chief data scientist for the state is all).

And that's the way it works.

There are thousands of people working all over Florida in the wake of this disaster. No fatalities will be hidden. Do you really think President Biden would allow that? He has people on the ground there.

And I've had to witness this fucking chicanery from this sick joke for four years.

The sheriff was basing his claim on the number of calls his county was receiving.
