Best try to do something about the coming insurance cancellations and premium increases. Until then, he needs to step down from that soapbox.
He’ll definitely try to grift from this, in true DeSatan fashion.
Many homes were wiped off the face of the earth in Taylor County. I personally know several people who lost everything. Look at the pictures and videos if you’re unaware.
What is wrong with activating a donation and volunteering program? What in the hell do you want the governor to do?..nothing? You think that’s better?
Be a decent person and donate time or money instead of bringing petty politics into a disaster related charity program announcement. You need to get over your immature binary politics
Anything but a “Go Fund Me” grift. I wonder if he gave himself a raise in all of this. Well, def Casey – like all other GOP wives…the pocketbooks of who’s lobbying who in the middle of the night without any announcements in advance. Closed door, midnight meetings with lobbyists. What could go wrong? Nice swing there Gov! I’m sure that $30k golf simulator in your office looks real sharp after you sold out half of our State to billionaire contractors wanting more pickleball courts to oversee the dolphins from. He’s worse than trump – he actually cackles as he steals our money and hides the kickbacks.
Hey everybody, Alex hates DeSantis but liked the weirdo from tallahassee
Had he actually used the kickback kash to use in State related emerg matters – we wouldn’t be having this convo. We’re funding Desantis’ lavish lifestyle…there’s nothing left in the pot.
What lavish lifestyle bonzo???
What lavish lifestyle??? Calm down the dope smoking amendment will pass and u can stay high
Alex, the educated woman is going to explain the lavish lifestyle of Ron DeSantis who has one of the lowest net worths of any politician. Let’s here it Alex
Not ONE of my comments will post. Seems FACTS and more FACTS are too big a threat to magats everywhere! and I mean everywhere!!!
All of your comments were posted. Fact.
No one cares Alex about your weird comments
Marge wanted the pervert mayor from tallahassee
My man you’re right on this one
they want to ‘oversee’ and ‘critique’ my comments. I’m SURE these facts will offend those with the power to delete my comments. When all else fails….abort the 1st Amendment! and WHO is paying for his Private Police Force? Election Squad? The ONLY election interference is coming straight from this idiot. Remember Guantanamo – where he wrote the directives on how to torture alleged terrorists…meaning anyone of brown color who they could capture. They had zero evidence of this while they electrocuted many who couldn’t comply – they had no information so that’ll cost you another 500 watts and 30 secs longer!!! Where’s your God in all of this ronnie? What Christian even thinks this way???
Alex wanted the pervert mayor from tallahassee
Alleged terrorisrs???? Now we know what Alex is all about. Oh yeah.
Oh Dear….I’m being ghosted on this platform as I’m an educated woman who hasn’t missed a BEAT with Desantis games tactics and outright grifts from lobbyists, NRA, ins, and now construction billionaires who really really really want more pickleball courts in our State parks. My only question is – did they pay more than the NRA did? How about those Insurance lobbyists sitting in your office at midnight without ANY notice of meeting. Closed door, midnight meetings with kickback kashiers These are FACTS…sorry if this platform hedged on trumps side.
Given your spelling and grammar, I wouldn’t shout about being an “educated woman.”
People will take your comments as a grain of salt, or at least think you’re one of those students on the East side who need propping up.
Alex thinks DeSantis is rich?
