Ron DeSantis... Vindictive little prick!

[tavernier]

He was enraged because we shut down the Keys early to avoid Covid in our small islands. Now he allows us to get appointments for vaccinations in TWO grocery stores in the entire county... starting at 6 a.m. and full by 7.

And of course allowing tourists and snowbirds to wait online as locals who have to be at work can’t wait in the queue to register.

Special place in hell for this monster.

1. He is beneath contempt. n/t

[tavernier]

4. I have set my clock each time

an hour before I have to go work at the high school, and I’m 74 years old and hoping to give these kids a normal and good school year, but praying I won’t get sick or get them sick, and yet I can’t get an appointment.

[rzemanfl]

16. I am 73 and barely leave the house anymore. Good luck. You don't happen to be a veteran

do you? People I know who are get their shots pretty quickly from the V.A.

[Hortensis]

2. This contempt for the people is the very opposite of democratic ideals.

His duty is to serve the people, yet he refuses and instead deliberately oppresses and abuses. In your area another chance to act out. Sounds like he's been forced to offer appointments after making elderly people wait standing in lines outside for hours, but he can still arrange to keep them from working properly.

Oh, yes. We need to turn our nation over to these fascistic bastards.

[underpants]

3. I read about the cruise ship thing earlier

80% vote for it and they immediately start to overturn it?

My wife and I spent a week at The Artists House in the early 2000’s I guess it was. We loved it. Actually stayed in Robert the Doll’s room.

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. DeSantis may lead in early voting for worst Governor - which should

put him near the top for leading RePutinican Presidential candidate in early polls.

[tavernier]

7. He initially put out a text to tell us when we could get get vaccinated

but every text was about how awesome he was and the great job he is doing. No info, no help.

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. Remember when Republicans always ran as the "small government" party....when they were out of power?

But abuse their power over local representation when they take office?

What will future Republicans run on? Family values? Nope. Fiscal Responsibility? Nope.

They have no platform because they have no ideas. Just a storm, guns, and intimidation.

[tavernier]

8. Frankly, don't give a flying f

Tell me where and what time to show up.

[OAITW r.2.0]

9. Politically, I think you are fucked in Florida.

Been that way since Jeb gamed Florida for his brother. Seems like the folks living in FL need to get honest and realize that voting Republican could kill you you short term, but will definitely kill you long term as climate change decimates the coasts.....

[Earthshine2]

10. I know for a fact that there is one community where there were vaccines for everyone, and then some.

I live in Kings Point, Delray Beach, FL, where there are at least 12,000 residents. (Yeah, we're big! But, our houses are real small.)

Every member of this retirement community -- who wanted it -- has been vaccinated.

Our second vax comes within two weeks.

DeSantis has a large base here (at least 50%), and he probably thinks this would be good for his reelection.

I have heard that the Villages (a well-known Trump stronghold) also has been completely vaxxed.

> Special place in hell for this monster.

Although, I am one of the lucky ones, I agree with this statement.

[tavernier]

11. Thanks.. I appreciate it.

But by the time I drive up there, I have to give up a half days work and then find lodging (I can’t drive at night).
But it’s a thought.

I was a hospice nurse in that area before I retired so I know it well.

[Earthshine2]

14. I'm sorry. I was ambiguous. This is for Kings Point residents only! ID required.

The points of my post are:
- how inconsistent it is
- that DeSantis might be guilty of murder
- why was Kings Point vaxxed, but not the wealthier communities all around me?
- that I am very lucky, and feeling a bit guilty about it

When I thought about what might kill me in this life, viruses were not high on my list. For me, global pandemics were the stuff of science fiction.

I wish for you, and for our fellow Floridians, Americans, and all other peoples, the best of luck and health.

[tavernier]

17. My patients...

DelRay beach where I had live in patients for three years... Dodi and Pat. I got them both out of nursing homes and got her walking eating and shopping and followed him through surgery to remove his cancerous eye and teach him to drive again. Too bad I had to move.

Thanks for the memories. Haven’t thought about them in years. I’m sure they have passed now, but they were nice people.

I remember they lived in a condo next to Dom DiMaggio, Joe’s brother. He was a really nice guy.

[rzemanfl]

19. Taking the vaccine to people rather than having them go to the vaccine makes sense.

But only if it is done equitably and free of politics. Someone here said whole trailer parks in Polk County were vaccinated.

[VA_Jill]

12. Ron DeathSentence

is what my daughter calls him. I hope he gets one.

[roamer65]

13. DeSatan.

[dawn5651]

15. snowbirds aka canadians should not be allowed to get covid 19 vaccines in the us. tourists shouldn't

either...

[tavernier]

21. I think preference should be given to local residents

and I think some governors do this. I don’t have a problem with certain cases. I will be first to allow someone sicker or older or maybe even needier (head of family) to take my place. But I have a problem with a county of political strongholds getting first dibs. That just smacks of “let them die.”

[mitch96]

33. I think the Miami Herald had a blerb on wealthy peeps from South America coming to So Fla

and getting vaccinated. I hate people that jump the line b/c of "privilege".. uff
m

[obamanut2012]

37. Yup, Canadians, Russians, Brits, Snowbirds from the US who rent, and folks south of us

In the Caribbean and SA.

It is disgusting. I work here and pay taxes here.

[mitch96]

42. Granted they added a lot to the So Fla economy but when the shit hit the fan with the

real estate turn down.. crickets... Loads of defaults on Brickell and in Aventura when our "friends" just left...

[GulfCoast66]

29. Sorry but I don't agree. Maybe Canadians, but many own property here.

And the federal government paid for the vaccine. Any American should be able to get it. The real problem, beyond how the trump administration fucked the plan sideways by not having a real plan, is the 30% of Americans, mainly trump cultists, will not get it jeopardizing the health of those who for legit medical reasons can’t take it.

But honorable people can disagree.

[tavernier]

31. No disagreement with you.

Just wondering why some counties are privileged to the governor.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. So de early snowbird gives you de worm? I think we need a new Gub'ner down heyah, Or maybe our own

civil defense?

Does this mean the High Rollers staying at the Bush compound wait too? Or do they get to schedule around their Tee times?

[kimbutgar]

20. What's even sicker this pos De Santos will easily win re election because the repukes

Control how elections are conducted and votes are counted and they have the state permanently locked down in repukes control.

[obamanut2012]

38. He barely beat Andrew Gillum, who was a weak candidate

If he even actually beat hi.

You put Gwen Graham up, or even someone like David Jolly, and DeSantis loses.

[Goblue50]

22. A huge reason..

Why we moved back to Michigan..plus 2 absolutely horrible senators!

[Warpy]

23. My idea of hell

will be spending the rest of his life on the golf course with Dumdum.

De Satan is heading for just that fate as his political career will be over at the end of his term. He's fucked Florida over the worst of any of their horrifically bad governors ever have.

[Fritz Walter]

24. He wants you to go to Pubelix(!) for the shot

That monstrous grocery chain has already given $100K to Ron DeathSentence’s re-election superPAC. Then, surprise surprise, Publix strikes a deal to let the state use their stores as vaccination centers.
When I heard about this last week, I started shopping elsewhere for essentials. Even if it costs more, or is out of my way.

[tavernier]

32. Interesting n/t

[obamanut2012]

39. Both my parents were able to sign up, receive their first shots, and have their second shots schedul

They are doing it better than the FLDH. Could it be better? Yes, and it needs to be Federalized, but Publix is helping to save my parents' lives, and improve the quality of the life they've lived for the past 11 months.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. What the hell goes on in Florida?

Some of the political manoeuvrings there are like those of banana republics in the 50's. It's unbelievable, at times.

[mitch96]

34. It's a red state run by reds.... and lobbyists... nt

[obamanut2012]

40. The Dem party here sucks

Very close-knit group mainly of folks not from here, who refuse to let folks in their little groups, and generally don't boost good local candidates.

[Callmecrazy]

26. I'm 55. How long do I have to fucking wait?

I think this whole thing about waiting for the elderly first is wrong. I work on a construction site with over 400 people that are spreading the virus. I need the vaccine as much as the elderly here in Florida. I have walked into a local Publix grocery with no waiting and been denied a shot because I'm not old enough. That's bullshit. Get the workforce vaccinated first and keep businesses and industry running. It's the labor force that's bringing home the virus to their families, not the retired people sitting around doing nothing.
I'm not insensitive to the fact that the elderly are at a higher risk, but they can afford the time to wait in line. They won't lose any wages like the labor pool will. I see no justification in them getting served first while younger working people are being turned away.

[obamanut2012]

41. I'm about your age and in the same situation

We are dropping like flies, we are needed to run things, give it to essential folks first.

[RVN VET71]

27. Special hell for him, period.

Lucifer wouldn’t want him soiling, by his presence, the other damned souls/

[SayItLoud]

28. So right. He's a POS.

tRUMP is in Fl. and will be looking for a LOT of protection. He'll get it from DeSatan. Legal or not he'll push to get cases delayed, get inside investigative intel....

[DENVERPOPS]

30. Trump and all his Spawn

have relocated down there for some reason......Will DeSantis fight extradition of them back to New York for years, or what.
Rush and a lot of other Right Wing Loudmouths are down there too.......What gives???????????

[onethatcares]

35. Pinellas

250,000 seniors over the age of 65..........................8000 available appointments. Will someone tell me how well thought out this is.

Yeah, been in the queque for 4 days now..

[Blue Owl]

36. DeSantis, DeJoy, DeVos... they're all right-wing Demons...
