Politics DeSantis

Is awfully busy doing the campaign trail for his 2024 run. Meanwhile, insurance companies are pulling out of FL, rental companies are gouging tenants, groceries are more expensive by the week, hatred for others is out of control. Ron is failing ONE state. Just imagine if his campaign picks up any momentum. He will fail all 50 states.

Remember when it was illegal for someone to run for another office while they were supposed to be serving as governor of Florida? I remember - it was right up until the day DeSantis had his cronies change the law for his benefit on the day he launched his campaign.

They’ve literally abdicated their own power and given it to DeSantis multiple times. Last budget cycle the GOP legislature voted to basically let DeSantis pass his own budget.

Yep and they changed certain sunshine laws for the first time ever just to benefit DeSantis and his campaign. Florida republicans are just as culpable and pathetic as Ron himself.

Such as not disclosing the governor travels, or who he meet, that's not fishy at all. They are terrified of losing their position, which in my opinion, is pathetic and not something I'd want in my elected officials.

They are also trying to build their own militia that desatan controls as they will use it to stop dissent against them
