This needs repeated over and over.
I strongly believe that my rights end when they infringe on the rights of others,

I don’t care how much of a futile exercise it may be … but so what …
get that recall of DeSantis ratcheted up to stupendous proportions ! DeSantis thinks he has legs … well then, figuratively break them in 8 places and sever both his Achilles tendons!

If that’s entirely true then point well taken. However, he’s smart enough to know that his political decisions have life & death consequences and that makes his contempt for his constituents all the more infuriating.

When republicans are out of power they fetishize small government, and once they attain power they act like authoritarians.
Republicans claim to be for limited government and local control, except when local school boards enact a mask mandate for elementary schools to protect children who are too young to be eligible for the vaccine. Then the Republican governor threatens to withhold funding to those districts.
This is why it is so difficult to have an honest discussion with republicans.

OT, but I am having a strong Firesign Theater flashback - am I wrong in that?
Back to topic. The fact that DeSantis and Ducey are both punishing public schools that dare to mandate masks while their own children attend private schools with mask mandates is so over the top hypocritical and galling that it makes my ears bleed. But as has been noted, it is barely even mentioned in passing by almost all of the media. FOX and the rest of the RW media and their ultra rich supporters have finally produced millions of creatures that will vote for Hitler as long as there is an R after his name. That is impressive.

Special mentality … reminds me of the dumbass unrepentant pig-ignorant white supremacist southern society ( schools, athletics, businesses) that were so intent upon adhering to their ignorant beliefs, that they would cost themselves success, opportunity, growth rather than see the error of their ways …
Face it:
DeSantis wants people to die.
And in other news…
Calling this fraudit an audit lends it waaaaay too much credibility no matter what they try to report.
I place the blame for this clown show squarely on the Goobers in my state’s government. How anyone can vote for them after this is beyond fantasy.

Republican primary voters are a coalition of gullible marks and cruel assholes. Republican politicians are all on the take and scared shitless of losing their grift.

Only if people understand that the ‘this won’t happen to me’ or ‘better than wearing a mask that will poison me with carbon dioxide’ is bull crap.
And they don’t.
They still think they can beat this with veterinary medicine that they ALSO don’t know what’s in it, as well as Regeneron.
Can’t fix stupid. Ever.

As a long time teacher in a medical school I know for a solid fact that the ignorant can be taught especially if they are willing to learn. But the stupid, especially the deliberately stupid, are a lost cause.
DeSantis is being deliberately stupid at the cost of possibly hundreds of lives. People who coulda voted for him!!

If you think an Ivy League education means one can’t be stupid, I invite you to read a history of the CIA.

Because DeSantis and many of his acolytes will sound ecumenical and say “but choices!” “I want everyone to have the same choices of where they send their children to school with some tuition tax credit or voucher programs” Of course they fail to tell you that they undermine the public schools where 90% of all students attend. Additionally you end up funding a number of sketchy entities like corporate and evangelical organizations.

The reason it’s impossible to have an honest discussion or debate with Republicans is because they’re always lying about everything.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t remember republicans being this cavalier with children. They always seemed to be the party that wanted to “protect the children”, well mostly from the gays. But still there are children dying, getting really sick, and they’re showing their true colors that they just don’t care.

Don’t let their crocodile tears fool you. They don’t give a shit about anything but money and power, and they would run over their own kids if they saw them protesting in the street along with Black Lives Matter.

Stop singing and finish your homework !
DeSantis and Ducey must be of the opinion that the illness and dying is restricted to democrats. That’s the only decent solution to their idiocy I can come up with. The alternative becomes a form of irrational, unfeeling and completely evil genocide of the citizens of their states. I see no other way but that they actively want innocent children to needlessly get sick and die and that those very kids will carry this contagion home from school to infect their families because that is what is going to happen. It is unavoidable if this kids are in school unmasked and close to each other.
If we rally truly want a country free from this cruel disease then we must follow the example of New Zealand (look it up). Otherwise we will absolutely continue to have wave after wave of virus scorching us. New variants can be more deadly and more contagious and yes it is absolutely possible. Covid will not leave us of its own accord. It must be stamped out ruthlessly or it will continue. In any case it will always be here. trump has seen to that. It is his legacy to us.

Didn’t that guy in Texas— Rep. Chip Roy – say that the Republican plan consisted of 18 months of chaos leading up to the 2022 midterms?

Yale and Harvard degrees are too often held up as prima facia evidence that people like DeSantis and Cruz and Hawley are geniuses. Let me tell you - the Ivy’s admit and graduate as many idiots as any other set of Universities you can name - I’ve met a few of them. In fact, they may graduate MORE, since they are in every sense more “money-tocracy’s” than “meritocracy’s”. (I’ll make an exception for MIT, Stanford and Caltech, but NO liberal arts college or business school teaches anything worthy of “genius-conveying” critical thinking skills).
Case-in-point - Penn’s admission of Trump to the Wharton business school. It should never have happened since Trump hardly ever went to class after he left 6th grade, but Daddy Fred called in a few favors and spent a couple hundred grand to get the idiot enrolled and then cajoled his sister to do his homework for him. My two Scottish Terriers are smarter and better trained than Trump by a long shot, (even though they piss inside my house too often for their own good.)
After seeing what idiots DeSantis, Cruz and Hawley have turned out to be, I have to believe this must be a common admission practice.
