The DeSantis containment thread -- all things DeSantis go here

If he does he'll slaughter Puddinhead in a fair election.

Fair election?

FYI, I believe DeSantis is by far the best Gov in America, but I also think Ronny forgets some of the restrictions he let roll early ie Covid.

Really? Why do you believe that? Tell me what he has done to make himself the best governor?

I remember going to Panama City in early 2021 and it being the first place I had been allowed to go in public without a mask in almost a year. The air smelled like FREEDOM

You don’t live in TN?

You don’t live in TN?

Nope. Currently in employment related exile in Mordor (Bama) where my urban county did have mask mandates. „Conservative“ Governor „Granny“ Ivey wasn’t much help either

TN never had statewide mask mandates, Lee left it up to the individual cities/counties as he should have. Yes he went idiot at the start shutting down state parks in April 2020 but they were back open by May but all in all he handled it well.

I don’t know, I don’t know enough about all 50 of them to make an informed decision. I do know that any governor that issued a statewide lockdown isn’t the best.

DeSantis lost me long ago. He has as much respect for individual liberty/rights as Biden does. He’s just a political opportunist without any real convictions or beliefs.

Well you are certainly more liberalitarian than just about any I have ever seen of the self proclaimed.
I am conservative..but pragmatic

Look no further than Trump to Biden and see where the hell that gets ya.

I’m not libertarian, I’m conservative. Or classical liberal.

But don’t forget that he had to at least show some respect for rights or he will not get the nomination. He is still an order of magnitude better Uncle Joe in that regard.

The labels of ideology and time make my head hurt..That BOX that keeps getting refined like a sauce of sewer.

A damn ham sandwich is better than Biden.

Pragmaticism should be an ideology under time and circumstance.

I Just say i am a Child of the Enlightenment. Which probably translates into Classical Liberal

Lolz… Some classic BB here -

The Biden admin is completely responsible for the ridiculous money they've elected to spend in Ukraine. Not sure how that can be argued

They are not responsible for the spending bills that Trump signed into law during his first two years in office, while the Republican Party controlled both chambers of Congress, and had a strong economy which did not necessitate fiscal stimulus. This fiscal policy was highly inflationary.

Their bloated spending bills between 2017-2019 were exacerbated when the pandemic hit, and suddenly stimulus was needed.

Not sure how that can be argued.

Lolz.

Everything I posted was accurate.

From January of 2017 to January of 2019, Republicans held a majority of both chambers of Congress, and the President was a Republican. Did Republicans make any effort to reduce spending during those two years? No.

Tennessee was locked down long after Florida. Lee was responsible for that.

TN was never locked down. Your city/town/county might have locked down but the state of TN never locked down.

You are confused

September 25, 2020: Believing all Floridians have the right to earn a living, Governor DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-244, opening all Florida businesses regardless of local restrictions and suspending the collection of local fines and penalties associated with COVID-19 regulations upon individuals.

Lee could have done the same thing. The only thing open in our area were the country clubs. At least my county started giving Lee Company work when he made it to Governor. After all Businesses have more rights than people...

Edit: Come on y'all. Nobody is buying that Tennessee was any kind of leader when it came to COVID lockdowns, and that was obvious to the country based on everybody flocking to Florida. DeSantis was a leader. Hog just didn't like him because he stopped businesses from requiring COVID vaccination.

TN restaurants were locked down by Lee for dine in service for 45-50 days. A lot of people just didn’t notice because Knox county went even crazier,and those of us who lived further East were grateful that it wasn’t as bad as Virginia.

Red meat yes. But as Breitbart used to say, politics is downstream of culture. Destiny will invariably follow what our culture endorses. Taxied and spending mean nothing when Western Civilization is neutered to the point of meaninglessness. Do you really think capitalism and freedom can exist in a world in which your every thought and word are controlled by amoral deviants?
True, both parties will eventually spend is into financial oblivion. But at least one of the two parties will allow us to maintain the civilization need to restore society. Both parties are robbing us blind. But the Democrats are murdering us while they take our wallets.

You are throwing some haymakers. My thoughts as well. We might even discover the guy we actually elect is fiscally responsible as well. I think it is better to keep all options on the table.

I even like what I'm hearing from Vivek Ramaswamy. He would be an unlikely choice because of a "weak resume" (it actually does matter to many conservatives). However, I'm hoping some of the central issues he's discussing make it's way into other candidates platform. He is sounding like a true constitutionist.
