Ron DeSantis: "I want to see my kids smiling." (caution, graphic photographs)

"I have young kids. My wife and I are not going to do the masks with the kids. We never have," he said. "I want to see my kids smiling. I want them having fun."


Can you see them smiling, Governor?

.

A few screen grabs of the movie could present:


1) Ramesses, Queen Nefertari & their son meeting Moses for the first time. (Moses could be Science/Doctors.)

Science/Doctors: They plead to protect the children.

DeathSantis replies:
"I have young kids. My wife and I are not going to do the masks with the kids. We never have. I want to see my kids smiling. I want them having fun." followed with his edict "So let it be written, so let it be done."


===========


2) Ramesses is pouring what is now blood into the water while trying to bless it as Moses looks on.

DeathSantis: "I hereby add more blood into the waters of Florida."


===========


3) Queen Nefertari is at the side of her sleeping son, pleading to Moses to protect him.

Queen Nefertari: "Science/Doctors please save by son. Please give him the vaccine."

Science/Doctors: "It is too late for the vaccine."


===========


4) Ramesses has his son on the the alter of the Lord of Darkness and prays to him.

DeathSantis: "'Trump Lord of Darkness' are you not greater than Science/Doctors? I followed your playbook to become the new head of the Fascists. Restore my son."

Queen Nefertari": "He can not hear you, he is nothing but stone."

DeathSantis: "He will hear me. I am Republican."

Do you have safety caps on pill bottles, or would that take away their God-given right to get inyo your Xanax stash?

I teach kids and I am always amazed at how good they are with the masks.

Of course, this is the northeast, I'm in a liberal town, and they see their parents exhibiting good mask wearing behavior.

His students had no problem with wearing masks last school year.

We have flown from FL to DC twice in the last month when our granddaughter was born. Airports and planes filled with families going to or coming from Orlando. Masks for everyone 2YO and over are mandated on planes/airports. I did not see one kid resisting wearing a mask - and that included a 5 hour delay in Orlando a few weeks ago.

This is a new stage and previous statistics mean little.

Ron DeSantis wants the disease to spread because
that is his political calculus. He sees it as good for
the gop.

... to the GOP and not just here but world wide too. President Obama along with other nations had the personal, protocols, and materials in place that in most likelihood would have stopped the virus in China or at the
very least mitigated its damage but Trump fired the epidemiologist who was on the ground in Wuhan and trashed programs that would have helped.

And now we have people like DeSantis and Fox News who are so craven that they will have the disease, suffering, and deaths keep going so Joe Biden doesn't get "a win."

I might be wrong but I think I'm not.

But using a Google Image Search shows all 3 of those images pre-date COVID-19 and there's no evidence they were even taken in Florida, or the USA for that matter.

I appreciate your intent, and agree.
