DeSantis says 'Cold War' coming between Florida, Georgia, if Stacey Abrams is elected governor
Source: The Hill
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Friday warned of a coming Cold War between Florida and Georgia if Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams wins the gubernatorial election in the latter state.
During a press conference in Gulf County, located in northwest Florida, DeSantis referenced the ongoing Masters golf tournament in Georgia, using it as an apparent segue into discussing the states elections.
DeSantis said he really appreciates our Georgians but that voters would have to take care of the 2022 election to prevent Abrams from winning.
If Stacey Abrams is elected governor of Georgia, I just want to be honest, that will be a cold war between Florida and Georgia, he said. I cant have [former Cuban communist leader Raul] Castro to my south and Abrams to my north, that would be a disaster. So I hope you guys take care of that and well end up in good shape.

I suppose all the dregs of the the eastern U.S. would run out of road in Georgia instead of Southern Florida then. Maybe erect a meth addict, bail jumper, and pedophile lane at the border crossing and let them pass straight through?
I'm just looking for possibilities here.

(111,410 posts)but I've always thanked my lucky stars and a chaotic postwar economy that they left when I was a baby, me to grandparents, my parents to a peripatetic life while my dad tried on a few jobs until one fit, which it did.
They retired there, though, so I've had to spend a lot of time there. One thing I noticed over the years was how angry everybody seemed and it was getting worse and worse. I can't imagine a majority of such people will vote for anyone but Gov. Death Sentence, he's one of them. I don't think it's going to change until Pox News goes under, the fundagelical preachers are exposed for what they really are, and maybe Zuckerberg bows to pressure to change his damned algorithm at Fakebook so it doesn't favor hate content.
My parents are gone now, their house sold, and I have no reason to go back there, ever, so I won't.

(6,276 posts)If someone were to ask me if I think
1) it's moral to terminate someone who is a threat to humanity, or
2) it's moral to let them destroy thousands or millions of lives for their own purposes,
I wouldn't hesitate for a microsecond to choose the first one.

We had no idea that the events leading up to the fall of the Wall had already kicked off in Hungary at the same time we were there in Germany.

(18,672 posts)Florida boycotts a stupid Atlanta golf tourney at DeSantis request and Georgia boycotts all those vacation money traps in Florida.
I was watching the Barrett Jackson car auction from Florida. They were auctioning a charity car for Ukraine ($1mil) and somehow DeSantis got on stage. He went on and on about how Florida is the most free state in "these United States" (dog whistle) and began counting down states with higher taxes. That's when a visibly uncomfortable Craig Jackson grabbed the microphone and said "...and that's what the Ukrainians want for their country". DeSantis didn't touch a mic after that.
What an opportunistic political dick.

(6,943 posts)Destinations other than Florida enjoy the extra business. Hes driving away the economic basethose gigantic hotel/motel taxes the state collects from visitors.
My family vacationed in Florida once or twice a year until the 2000s until it became overdeveloped and mean. No more. The whole vibe changed.
DeSantis is the result of that movementof Florida residents who hate others. In a state that depends on others for tourism revenue.

There should be an economic boycott of these shithole states.
It's not enough for a company like Disney to "say" they are "outraged" by this evil shit.
If it's evil, and it is, then the only option is to close up shop and move.
Anything less than that is just talking out your ass.

1) They will pretty much do anything but vote for a Democrat.
2) DeSantis didn't show his craziness to this extent during his campaign.
Since Trump's removal, he's brought shark jumping to a performance art form.
