You gotta admit that's creative - an anti-vaxer in charge of the CDC.
As creative as an anti public education heiress leading the Dept of Ed. My recollection TFG had a storied history of appointing Cartoonish Tazmanian Devils in charge of the hen houses?
Trump nominates Andrew Wheeler, the ex-coal lobbyist,
or
Trump appoints Scott Pruit (prominent skeptic of climate science and an ardent foe of government action on climate change)

Which reminds me - is that cretin who was removing mailboxes still in charge of the Postal Service?
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit announced that Florida approved the nonprofit as an official vendor, allowing teachers to incorporate its educational entertainment videos, self-described as “edutainment,” as supplemental materials in classrooms.

If I lived in Florida and had kids in school, I'd be applying for refugee status just to get out.
He definitely seems more "approachable" - he doesn't have the permanent Prince Vigo Von Homburg Deutschendorf, Scourge of Carpathia, Sorrow of Moldavia scowl on his face like TFG. DeSantis also seems to be a bit better a pulling off the "every man" persona - at least from a distance. Once people interact with him, it completely falls to pieces. That could be what this survey is picking up.
The Tennesse car crash involving four vehicles in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s motorcade has revealed that his campaign has misused government vehicles by using cars owned by the state of Florida in his presidential run, a report claims.
DeSantis was spending plenty of Floridian money on his campaign stops. Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) had 4 SUVs (all using Florida Government plates) escorting DeSantis to a small campaign event in Tennessee, and the 4 got into a fender bender, total of 7 FDLE agents were involved. Apparently 3 were already at the site, all at taxpayer expense. And this only came to light because this happened in Tennessee. DeSantis passed laws earlier exempting himself from Florida's sunshine law anything about his own travels, citing "security concerns". While FDLE is obligated to provide protection for the governor anywhere and anytime, FDLE had never dealt with a governor who also spends much time OUT of the state, all at taxpayer expense. FDLE supposedly had to transfer more agents to the VIP security division, since DeSantis also want his own family covered.

And all the people who elected him don't care because tax waste is the provenance of the tax and spend democrats and DeSantis sticks it to them. I mean a putting up a few dozen people out of state for a few years while he leaves the state to his proxies is nothing compared to kicking people off medicaid.
The notion that DeJoy, 65, would help advance a key Democratic agenda item would have seemed unfathomable a few years ago. But to the astonishment of many in Washington, the man Democrats once denounced as a threat to American democracy has become one of their most important allies in government. Defying the far right, he delivered more than 500 million COVID-19 test kits to Americans in the winter of 2022. Crossing conservatives last December, he agreed to transition the Postal Service’s entire fleet to electric vehicles by 2026. DeJoy’s capstone collaboration with Democrats was the Postal Service Reform Act, which is arguably the most bipartisan piece of major legislation in the Biden era, drawing 10 more GOP Senate votes than the $1 trillion infrastructure bill.
I vaguely remember doing some deeper reading on the mailbox removal "scandal" at the time and was satisfied that it was a nothingburger, or had previously been planned, "nothing to see here" etc. The timing was absolutely shit though, in terms of optics.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. We got paid to deliver COVID test. And DougeBag had to reminded that the Postal Service is part of the federal government, and therefore *had* to transition to EVs.
I could go on a tirade about behind the scene things, but civilians wouldn't understand. I'm done in 360 days. That guy is not our friend.

So glad you spoke up! I was about to ask if you could comment since you would know more than anyone. What are your thoughts on the mailbox removal thingie from years ago?
What riles me up about that article is that Bigelow doesn't actually care about DeSantis' policies being too extreme for the American people. He only cares that the policies are too extreme *to get elected*.
The idea that donors can dictate policy to politicians is a crystal clear example that politicians are bought. Literally bought. Out in the open, in the headlines and in interviews. No one blinks an eye.
How would this even work? Are you going to inspect every single ship that comes into Mexico? What does it mean to drone strike the cartels? What need is there for lethal force at the border?
All Mexico would need to do is totally open their border to the US - watch DeSsntis try to deal with the hordes crossing then. This is insanity.

What’s funny to me about the xeet embedding issues, is that if I click the link and see the tweet in my browser and then click on twitter’s “share” button. It creates a link with the twitter.com domain.
I assume the only links being made with the x.com domain are from the app itself.
I had to do the same alignment but when last I read, he was talking about FL ports and then extrapolating that to "the border" because he wants to prick swing about president more than he cares about being a governor.
Remove the demand for illicit drugs and they'll stop bringing them over the border. What? That would require making healthcare, including mental healthcare, accessible to everyone? Nah, can't do that!

Making foreigners the social-crisis enemy is always ass-backwards.
Drug War: "Mexico/Colombia/etc are invading us with drugs!!" (As if the market for drugs weren't driven by Americans.)
Immigration: "Foreigners are coming to replace Real Americans!!" (As if the jobs filled by immigrants would be filled without them.)
Economics: "Mexico/China/etc are taking our jobs!!" (As if job relocations weren't fully determined by US corporations.)
