Omicron is sweeping across Florida. It's time for Gov. DeSantis to be a serious leader

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In November, Gov. Ron DeSantis, with the support of Republican leadership, called a special session of the Florida Legislature on the topic of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But instead of focusing on preparing for the future while COVID cases were at a low rate, the Legislature, at DeSantis’ urging, passed five bills to hamstring school boards, businesses and governmental entities in their fight against future surges and variants.

As Florida continues to break records in daily reported cases, it is clear these bills have done nothing but disarm us.

Of particular concern is House Bill 1-B, which specifically prohibits a school board from enacting mask requirements in schools. During the late-summer Delta surge, many school boards defied the governor’s prohibition on mask requirements, citing guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the need to protect students and teachers.

1. If covid gets worse, DeSatan will be a serious leader; and

if my aunt had wheels she'd be a pastry cart.

2. Content with the asset churn of the covid death wave?

Many industries rake in fat bucks in the wake of the deceased. Inheritance and spending, real estate, undertakers, financial planners, etc.

I'm not saying they all sit around and encourage it, but to them it's just the natural course of events.

3. DeSantis will double down because that's what he's always done.

It won't work. He really has no place to go anymore.

8. He will continue to ignore the problem until it goes away on its own.

That is the kind of "leader" he is. He is so afraid of upsetting his potential far right supporters that he will stay the course, no matter how many people he kills. He dreams about sitting in the White House where he can lead the whole nation like he has led Florida. The man is a clear and present danger.

9. Why Should He Care?

The average FL Moron voter doesn't care enough to elect a Democrat, so there's absolutely ZERO incentive for him to act differently.

10. He's done a good job at manipulating the death figures, now he needs to fiddle the case numbers.
