FL and TX both have this core of uneducated that flaunts and even revels in its ignorance.
I’ve spent time in both states as a tourist, businessman and service member and was always struck by this phenomenon. 'tis a puzzlement.

DeSantis is more your traditional republican in that he plays stupid for the base, and in reality is a cynical piece of shit, smartly playing the idiots. (It’s not hard)

Since Trump, the base has been running this type of republican out of power. They want their peers, that is, authentic stupid to be in power. (See Trump,McCarthy etc)

Fortunately for DeSantis he has that dumb “Scott Walker dumbass” look about him and by saying dumb things with that dumb face he is believably stupid.

Seemingly he’s a lock for the Nod in 2024 when Trump backs out at the end.

And Joe did it without even mentioning DeSantis’s name.

Why I have no respect for msm reporters:

DeSantis: “Why don’t you do your job? Why don’t you get this border secure? And until you do that, I don’t wanna hear a blip about COVID from you, thank you.”

The very next question had to be “Can you please explain what closing the borders has to do with the COVID crisis?” But they always let shit like this float on by.

That is why Texas and Florida have an assholecracy.

DeSantis looks like Henchman #3 in a bad straight to video knockoff of a Godfather movie.

DeSantis should cram a grapefruit in his Boca Raton and let the scientists talk.

Did anyone ask Kavanaugh about the booze?

To solve Florida’s vaccine hesitancy problem maybe Pfizer can advertise their vaccine is laced with Meth and the cure for Herpes.

Just a thought

No, we do need to fight for an amendment at least modifying the terms of lifetime appointments. I’d prefer to do away with them all together, for all appellate courts, in favor of 15 year or 13 year terms.(Actually, any value relatively prime to 4 years will work for me.) We can argue about whether they should be renewable or not. I say not, and I’d be willing to go to 19 year terms to get there.

Lifetime appointments take what ideally would be a process as apolitical as possible and turns it into the most divisive political process conceivable. We need to lower the stakes and be sure that they stay lowered.

Another way to work it would be to do the following:

  1. Appoint a Chief Justice for life.
  2. Appoint 0 Associate Justices. Finesse the current crop’s lifetime appointments by moving them to the Court of Appeals of their choice and leaving their salaries unchanged.
  3. Each District Court of Appeals appoints/elects/nominates one (1) judge to serve a five year term on the Supreme Court. The President confirms (or sends back) the nomination, forwarding it to the Senate.
  4. Supreme Court panels consist of 9 justices, the Chief and 8 “new” Associates. Cases are granted a hearing by at least six votes among the full panel of 13, removing the judge whose District Court was the source of the appeal. The Associate whose District Court was the source of the appeal may not sit on the panel when cases are granted certiorari.

There are undoubtedly other ways of doing it too, but we need to have the fight/discussion.

Oh give him a break. He’s just paying homage to the big orange shitstain. Invent a bogeyman, make up a pile of mind-numbing lies and a crowd of ignorant fascist morons will belch their idiotic approval.
