As cases of the coronavirus rise in Florida, MAGA Gov. Ron DeSantis has maintained his crusade against safety measures. After banning mask mandates and threatening to withhold the salaries of officials who enforced them, DeSantis is now backtracking and admitting he does not have the power to take away those salaries. MSNBC's Ari Melber reports on the situation. Aug. 13, 2021

1. Dictator Desantis.

Horrible human.

[True Blue American]

2. DeSantis is also losing the no mask mandate

As cities pass their own mandates, ignoring him.

3. "I don't have that power" - but he wishes he did. nt.

[Tarc]

4. "I don't have that power" is a not-so-subtle message to the Florida Legislature

to give him that power, like, by yesterday.

Remember, these are the same dumbasses...from their Legislature up to Yeb "please clap" Bush, that unconstitutionally intervened in the Terri Schiavo debacle.

5. You might be on to something there.....

hurry rewrite some laws for me quick

11. Of course. Whenever someone like him

says something, it has different meaning for them than for normal people.

6. If the administrators/teachers are breaking the law, arrest them.

If the administrators/teachers are breaking the law, arrest them.

Are you afraid, Guv?

7. Remember, the cat is out of the bag,

these people are allowing people to die just to make president Biden look bad. Not saying it will work, but that is their plan.

[paleotn]

8. Maybe it's just me, but I'm just not getting the strategy here....

Burn down your own state to make Biden look bad? When the blame can be so effortlessly placed where it belongs, Republican governors and state legislators? The only things I can think of are cockamamy conspiracy nuttery, easily refuted, and only believed by people who'd never vote for Democrats to begin with. What am I missing?

[wnylib]

12. They are spin artists who believe

they can convince people of any view that the spinners want them to have. Sadly, it usually works, with their followers at least.

Remember how they fought Obama on economic recovery after the RW induced market collapse? Did not matter that their own people suffered badly from the collpse. It only mattered that they could blame Obama for it.

[Arazi]

15. I think they believe the majority of their base are anti-masker, anti-vax

Therefore anti-Biden and pro-MAGA.

I think they're pandering to the same MAGA base that has worked for the past 4 years.

This time however, I think they've miscalculated. I think there are more pissed off Dems and moderate Rs who are furious at that group that's put us back into the danger zone.

Asa Hutchison gets it. Whoever's doing his polling has their finger on what's going on. DeathSantis and Abbott's pollsters are literally aiding and abetting murder.

My only hope is this crushes the national aspirations of those two governors, permanently

9. Kick

[bluestarone]

10. He's right he DOES NOT have that power! BUT

To me it tells me the story of what he WOULD DO IF HE HAD THAT POWER!! Holy fuck this guy needs to be REMOVED!

[Aviation Pro]

13. Don't forget what state we're talking about

Floriduh Man state.

[TNNurse]

14. He is just like his idol, TFG.

He wants to be able to do anything he wants....as if no rules apply to him.

Just like TFG.
