Seems he is Putin's big pal now. DeSantis is going to run for president, and trying to woo the Maga crowd. He is much more dangerous than Trump and here are some examples. First of all, the whole influx of the Trump lovers have become the majority in Florida. They flocked from the North, the South, the Midwest and are full throttled fascists. They also flocked from Russia. They have brought the cost of living up to a huge, almost unbearable living condition and NO not everyone can just move that is progressive or even moderate. We need some relief down here and I hope the asshat does run for president because the majority of people will not go for what is going on in Florida. Here are some examples of his pedal to the metal on stormtrooping in the name of Freedumb. Come on Trump, lets see some of your big talk and take down of Ron. He is making you look like the biggest loser in history and we know what you are, now tell the rest of the country what he is. What does Trump have on DeSantis? Spill it big talk. I already know Russians are moving in and buying up properties. Orlando, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his Republican allies are seeking more influence in university classrooms, targeting tenure, waging a battle against “politicized” courses and contemplating a significant change in how professors are hired across the state. DeSantis says he is bringing accountability to higher education and ensuring universities aren’t indoctrinating students with what he and other GOP leaders see as a liberal bias. But the governor’s agenda is also prompting a backlash from the United Faculty of Florida, a union that represents more than 25,000 faculty members across the state. A toxic political climate is hurting the reputation of Florida’s universities and making it harder to recruit the best teachers, said Andrew Gothard, president of the United Faculty of Florida. “What we clearly see is a shift toward authoritarianism and we are seeing it manifesting in higher education – an assault on tenure and free speech,” he said. www.detroitnews.com/… www.tampabay.com/... More fights with Mickey Mouse The Reedy Creek Improvement District was dissolved last year after Disney challenged the governor's Parents' Rights and Education bill, dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill by critics. "You know, you did have the issue with our Parents' Rights and Education bill...for whatever reason, Disney got on that bandwagon, they demagogued it, they lied about it," he said. "If Disney wants to embrace 'woke' ideology, it seems fitting that they should be regulated by Orange County." www.wesh.com/… Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order Friday activating the Florida National Guard and directing state law enforcement agencies to help local governments dealing with an increase of migrants landing in the Florida Keys. Those and other resources are being activated, in part, to help "prevent further migrant landings on Florida's shores," DeSantis said in a statement. "As the negative impacts of Biden's lawless immigration policies continue unabated, the burden of the Biden administration's failure falls on local law enforcement who lack the resources to deal with the crisis," the statement said. "That is why I am activating the National Guard and directing state resources to help alleviate the strain on local resources. When Biden continues to ignore his legal responsibilities, we will step in to support our communities." abcnews.go.com/… Big Bailout for Insurance Companies hurting homeowners in Florida Floridians have been crushed under this crisis for years, but less than six months ago, DeSantis chose to bail out the insurance companies instead of helping Florida families. Orlando Sentinel: “Florida Insurance Firms, Not Homeowners, Reap Benefit Of $2 Billion Taxpayer-Financed Fund” Before he even begins his second term in office, Ron DeSantis is already moving to bail out big insurance companies at the expense of Florida homeowners, who have been suffering from some of the highest housing and insurance costs in the country under DeSantis. While the Florida governor takes time to rehash extreme anti-vaccine rhetoric and oppose marriage equality protections, Florida homeowners brace for another DeSantis bill hike. We have a 33 percent increase in Homeowners rate hike for 2023. We are feeling it really hard. I know this for a fact plus some Insurance companies are leaving the State. It is absolutely unaffordable. 4000 plus a year for some homeowner including us who have never filed a claim or been late and do not live on the coast. Ian did not touch this area. It is all a bailout for Big Insurance. The Republican-led Florida legislature passed a bill that would cut more breaks for insurance companies and increase Floridians’ insurance rates even further. Tallahassee Democrat: “Florida Senate approves insurance overhaul that hits homeowners hard” democrats.org/… DeSantis controlling hospital care The DeSantis administration is asking Florida hospitals to determine how much money they spend on health care for patients living in the country illegally. Hospitals have until May 23 to submit a record of any such funds to the state Agency for Health Care Administration. AHCA Secretary Simone Marstiller sent a letter to the Florida Hospital Association, which represents the state’s hospitals, with a reminder that all partners must participate. In response, FHA president Mary Mayhew said, “FHA received the letter from AHCA late Thursday afternoon. We are reviewing the request and communicating with our member hospitals.” wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/… The truth of the matter he is taking over hospitals, private corporations, Schools, universities, Insurance companies with the help of a Republican legislature. He also is not known but a Russian agent was in his administration. Is this Foreign agent still his spokeperson after filing as a foreign agent? Inquiring minds and democracy lovers want to know. I think she still is as article said she retroactively filed as a foreign agent. She is probably just another Flynn. He has to be stopped. Most people do not know this about the man…..All they see is no mask mandate. Shallow people who buy into the Fox Noise machine. This is what is really happening Hmmmmm. You’d think the our governor-to-be would have been a little suspicious of Russian-speaking sketchy businessmen bearing gifts and making the short list at his campaign fundraisers. It was around the same time that DeSantis had sent out an election mailer promising to “drain the swamp in Tallahassee.” Then a month later, he’s not blinking when he gets a gift of $50,000 from an imaginary company through its two principals, Lev Parnes and Igor Fruman, who appear to be sent by a casting agent looking to fill roles for Bond villains. WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Florida Agriculture Commissioner and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried said there is one word that comes to mind when she thinks of current Gov. Ron DeSantis. www.palmbeachpost.com/… He said he would return the Russian money, well did he? "Dictator," Fried told WPTV's Michael Williams during an interview Friday in advance of Sunday's "To the Point." "Harsh language, some would say," Williams said. "Not at all," Fried replied. "Look at what he's doing. He's spent the last three-and-a-half years taking power, limiting people's rights to vote, scapegoating communities, taking away women's rights to make a decision for her own body, making it harder to protest. Time and time again, everything he has done in the last three-and-a-half years of his administration is to gain power for one purpose and one purpose only — to run for president in 2024. www.wptv.com/… My opinion of all of this is …... Where is your big mouth now Donnie as you are letting Ronnie not only throw you under the bus but running over you several times. I guess you have proven Ron DeSantis is making a fool out of you more so than you have made of yourself. Who thought Trump could be out done on Fascism? Gov White boots has you by your small hands and has taken your donors. Wonder who may be turning info into the feds? Maybe you should think it might be your biggest so called fan. Feel that knife turning in your back Orange Man? www.wptv.com/… [END] --- [1] Url: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/1/8/2146082/-DeSantis-is-going-all-in-with-Fascism-Wants-to-control-everything Published and (C) by Daily Kos Content appears here under this condition or license: Site content may be used for any purpose without permission unless otherwise specified. via Magical.Fish Gopher News Feeds: gopher://magical.fish/1/feeds/news/dailykos/
