If you are in Florida, you know the barrage of negative news stories directed against DeSantis. It is virtually non-stop and a constant screeching as if instead of Wuhan V, we were suffering a state-wide Ebola epidemic.
Now, there is little the Democrats can do to remove DeSantis. He is not up for re-election this year, but there are a lot of people in the Legislature terming out and will have be replaced. So the Democrats have to make look like the Republicans botched the Chinese virus response and something has to be done to change things and that means a fully Democratic Legislature.
Democrats are losing their minds because the governor is starting to open the state. They know that if people get back to work and the economy picks up again, they have a diminished chance to get Florida to turn Blue and have it go Biden in November. To that extent, Rep Debbie Wasserman Schulz and her cohorts sent a letter to DeSantis.
Dear Governor DeSantis:
We write to express our grave concerns with the reopening of our state and its implications for the safety of Florida’s residents as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. While we fully recognize the tremendous burden placed on the economy by stay-at-home orders and closed businesses, we urge you to prioritize the health and safety of Floridians above all else. A rushed reopening may very well serve only to increase the human loss caused by an already historic public health crisis, as states moving forward with reopening are seeing increases in new COVID-19 cases.
If you go to the link and read the whole missive, you’d swear that it has been only by the grace of God (which they do not believe in anyway) and pure dumb luck, that Florida has not seen catastrophic deaths yet but surely they are coming because not 100% of Floridians have been tested and simply we do not have the capacity or personnel to deal with the wave of sick people that it surely is coming down the road any minute now and double if we start opening the state. Simply, we are better off if we maintain everybody locked in (except illegal aliens and criminals, those have to be released) till after all is secure including a 100% effective vaccine of the election gets us a Democratic President, whichever comes first. They are gambling and hoping people get sick of being jailed and blame the governor and the Republicans for it. In 3 months the Democrats would change the tune and say it was the Republicans who wanted to keep Floridians cloistered.. (Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.)
It is nothing we did not know before hand: If your name has an “R” at the end, there is nothing you can do right and it is all your fault. If you have a “D” tagged to your name, you can rape and kill puppies and your are the Lord’s apple of His eye.
Part if the insane bullshit they are shoveling is the implication that COVID is a death sentence. Guaranteed worse than any scifi zombie virus. You get COVID and that’s it, you’re done.
That’s critical to the “if it saves just one life” justification for the lockdown. Otherwise we’d realize what we need to do is protect the elderly and sick and the rest of us have a good chance of being fine.
Also, I just read about the money Bloomberg is pouring into Texas. Not liking the idea of one person (or only a few people) having such outsized influence is one reason the founders wanted a republic, not a monarchy.
I’m starting to really wish for a rule that only people living in a given state, and businesses chartered in that state, could make political donations to state and local elections. Of course there’s a way around that, form a shell business, fund it from a parent corp and keep on going. But at least it’d be another step to go through.
Will someone please take that retarded labradoodle bitch to the pet shelter already for a permanent muzzle? Sheesh.
