4. Very Fitting.

I was just thinking that the meme was showing DeSatan with the wrong finger extended for the "I'm number one"

[Botany]

2. Well @ least DeSantis is stimulating the economy / Florida funeral homes & crematories are swamped

3. I think Louisiana has hit that mark too.

They just exceeded the highest number of deaths they had with the first wave of the pandemic.

All while having a working vaccine.

5. one difference - gov edwards and mayor cantrell are not aiding and abetting the coronavirus

we can thank our repub supermajorities and their fundy mentalist masters for opposing the proper policy at every turn. .

[hibbing]

9. It's not just the perversity of obstructing efforts to control Covid-19

There’s clearly a political motive in there somewhere -- although, of course, the irony is that he’s enabling the disease to kill his own constituents. But there’s something I find more troubling about this man.

He is extraordinarily well educated, served as a JAG officer in the Navy, so I credit him with the ability to understand the consequences of his obstructive actions, the suffering, the pain, the anguish he is causing among his constituents.

My contention is -- you may challenge me on this -- that he actually enjoys the suffering and the pain and the anguish, enjoys knowing that so much of it is occurring solely because of his obstruction, solely because of his political work against the vaccine, against even mask mandates -- even in schools.

Like Loser-45 and the entire former Administration, cruelty is top topic on his agenda, the singular most important point of it.

I think he takes pleasure just knowing he has both the power to cause so much pain among all Floridians and the sadistic will to exercise it. I also think the sadistic pleasure is heightened significantly by the knowledge that his very cruelty is also strengthening his run for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

10. You may be right, his incredible blind ambition might have

taken the place of rationality in his case versus a wanton desire for destruction.

[Cyrano]

12. Yep, a cruel sadist.

Although I'm an agnostic, I believe in the existence of good and evil. DeSantis, and many other Republicans, fall into the category of pure evil.

[DBoon]

16. to an authoritarian, the ability to inflict pain is a sign of strength

and something to be admired.

... 'How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?'

Winston thought. 'By making him suffer,' he said.

'Exactly. By making him suffer. Obedience is not enough. Unless he is suffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own? Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation. Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.

- George Orwell, 1984

11. Go figure it up... That's Almost 7000 a month or 81,000 a year! 😬

They have 3100 deaths in car accidents per year in Florida.
And they are just getting warmed up.

[Stallion]

13. Florida Has Gone from about 25th to 4th (with a Rocket) in Total Infections in this Wave

looks like they are looking at Numero Uno in a few months

[KS Toronado]

14. This should turn Florida Blue in the midterms.

[Johonny]

15. I assume the real numbers are vastly worse in both waves

[malaise]

17. 26,203 is a newe daily record

DeathSentence is outdoing himself

[Larissa]

18. My worry

Is that the Delta variant -- allowed to run rampant -- will morph into a virus even more lethal.

[Bucky]

19. I'm done

People lacking common sense, lacking even the most basic survival instincts, in the face of an only-slightly deadly pandemic... I'm so fed up.
