"Tell that to THE BUCHANAN BRIGADES."

So true. At least Arator had character, or he was a character -- his Opus was one of the best.

"Lockdown Don was proud of his lockdowns."

You Ronlims are an embarrassment to your greasy 'leader'. All of you just beg for the smackdown.

Coronavirus Updates, April 1, 2020

Florida Governor Orders Statewide Lockdown

"Florida has now joined the list of states that are ordering residents to remain in their homes for all but essential activities to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis made the announcement at an afternoon briefing. It was just a few hours after he spoke to President Trump. DeSantis said he's issuing an executive order that will direct "all Floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or essential activities."

With this order, Florida is joining more than 30 other states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico in ordering a lockdown. In total, the orders affect more than 85% of the U.S. population. DeSantis said the order will go into effect in Florida on Thursday at midnight."

Did you even read the article? Desantis ordered the lockdown after being asked to by Trump. So you can blame Trump just as much as Desantis, if not more.

"Consider Trump's first four years, a lot of talk, some half assed roll-outs that too often got stopped by the courts before the ink dried, and lots unfinished with even more excuses. I sure don't want another four years of that."

You're a guppy. A guppy in a Ronlim fishbowl gulping for air.

Trying to sell magical thinking that somehow systemic election fraud cannot be overcome by Trump or even GOP incumbents, but that the Meatball can; then you double-down on your Greasy manlove that the Meatball can not only overcome election fraud, but gator-wrestle the Deep State.

The Meatball ex machina who magically overcomes.

It's hilarious. He's a fraud, you're a fraud. It's not that you give an elastic f-ck about Ron, it's that you are all plagued with Trump Derangement Syndrome, and that puts you on an even par with some feral MSNBC correspondent who asserts that Trump voters are white supremacists.

You Ronlims have one thing in common, whether today or tomorrow or next week: "This account has been banned or suspended." Go back to your family and apologize for spending all your free time ignoring them in support of a loser. No, wait, they already know...

The establishment may have set up DeSantis vs. Trump. Pence may pass them on the outside and clinch the nomination yet...

Trump was elected to stop the third world takeover of our homeland.

But in office, he signed multiple GOP spending bills with zero funding for a border wall. Did not get any immigration-reduction laws passed.

Yep, more illegals at the end of his term in the US then at the beginning. And what little he accomplished, was via executive action, and immediately reversed. He had no legislative accomplishments to speak of regarding immigration. Nothing lasting. He made Biden possible, empowered him. Total failure.

Desantis has the unusual situation in Florida where the legislature is made up of a super majority. This is why he is getting things done. Florida is passing laws that would never make it out of committee anywhere (without a super majority). As great as it is for Florida, the same will not apply with DC. Far from it. I dare say the average Republican in Florida does not fully recognize that.

May 5: Rebekah Jones, a geographic data scientist involved in tracking cases for the state, is terminated from her position by the Florida Department of Health. Jones claimed that the Department of Health wanted data on Florida’s coronavirus dashboard changed to support Governor Ron DeSantis’ plans to resume economic activity.

September 25: DeSantis issued an order that effectively nullified public health measures imposed by various local governments in Florida to combat the spread of the virus. DeSantis’s order prohibits local governments from imposing fines or shutting down businesses for violations of mask mandates.
