TROPICAL HELLSCAPE: What the hell is Ron DeSantis doing down there?
Florida is a swamp full of alligators, cocaine, and alligators who have swallowed cocaine. And Ron DeSantis.
It’s also just slightly ahead of Texas and Alabama when it comes to having the highest percentage of awful Republicans in the entire United States.
The Sunshine State had a chance to redeem itself in November by choosing Charlie Crist as its governor, but MAGA voters stuck with Rotten Ron DeSantis, aka “DeathSantis,” who’s like if an underbaked oatmeal raisin cookie was possessed by a demon and dressed up in shiny white boots to do a whole lot of xenophobic and racist stuff.
DeathSantis has come by that nickname honestly, because there are stories dating back to his days as a Navy JAG-off when he visited Gitmo to “oversee” the questioning of detained prisoners.
“Oversee” = “stand there with a microboner while watching human beings suffering excruciatingly painful physical torture.”
Because Florida, Rotten Ron rose up through the ranks and is now broadcasting his death jones for all the world to see from the Governor’s Office.
DeathSantis was an early adopter of Donald Trump’s anti-COVID rhetoric, and Florida took the brunt.
As of this writing, there have been 7.5 million COVID cases in the state, with just over 84,000 deaths.
As he eyes a run for President in 2024, DeathSantis is prepping to go full Commander to rule over Gilead with his Wife, Casey (aka Serena Joyless) while spreading the kind of deadly disinfo that’s become his terrible trademark.
There’s already a “re-education” plan in place to make sure Florida kids are the nation’s most willfully obtuse sunburned sheep.
They’re even making up their own college curriculums now.
But if you still needed any further proof that the same guy who human trafficked migrants is determined to kill everyone he can, DeathSantis held a batshit crazy press conference on Wednesday along with his new COVID Advisor, Jason “Eddie” Speir.
Speir is a radiologist and the most insane person I’ve ever seen who’s been put in charge of other people’s livelihoods, and I’ve watched plenty of video footage of Peter Navarro.
Seriously, if you saw Qrazy Qousin Eddie on the street acting this way, you would absolutely think he needed immediate psychiatric help.

But BECAUSE FLORIDA, everyone there thought everything DeSantis said was just fine.
That’s right, the invisible Sky Baby Jeebus is going to save you from the XBB 1.5 mutation just by praying, that totally worked for those 84,000 dead Floridians too.
Seriously, how does anyone in a government role get away with saying “people who get the COVID-19 bivalent booster are more likely to get infected”?

It’s an odd political tactic to actively try to eradicate your own voting base.
Dead people can’t vote for you for president, Revolting Ron Rottencrotch.
But live people on Twitter can drag him to filth, which is content I’m always here for.
Well, you are right about one thing. You have led the way in more Covid deaths &more Covid illnesses. Can’t even get a doctors appointment in Florida for about 6 weeks because every time you call the messages due to the uptick in Covid there will be a delay getting back to you pic.twitter.com/4MtGNgYwEx

If you are in a position of power, and make decisions for self interests that kill people; such as ignoring scientists and doctors during a global pandemic, like Ron DeSantis or Donald Trump, you are directly responsible and should be held accountable.

DeSantis would ban private companies from requiring masks & proof of vaccination. It’s anti-freedom, dangerous pandering and unconstitutional government overreach. And it’s all being done to help him politically. DeSantis isn’t conservative. He’s an authoritarian wanna be. https://t.co/IBz12cg71Z
