Gov. DeSantis should test his COVID theories by spending a couple weeks inside a school

And he should bring his wife and kids along, says columnist Daniel Ruth.

Let’s say your house is on fire. At the moment the crisis is limited to a small section of the garage and all you need to do to avert total disaster is call the fire department to douse the flames.

Alas, there is a problem. The governor and the state legislature has ruled municipalities are forbidden from using water (especially if it is fluoridated) to put out fires, because it is a liberal, socialist assault on liberty and freedom.

Hah, you say and yet hah again. No Republican governor and/or a Republican legislature made up of fawning, obsequious toadies doing the bidding of the Great Pumpkin of Mar-A-Lago would ever do something so insanely stupid.

Ah, but this is Florida the Home of the Knave, where ham-handed bumptiousness knows no bounds. Oh and by the way, don’t even think about voting. No good ever comes from it.

some of this increase in COVID numbers in their states (I'm talking about TX too, as well as TN, of course "desantis...death sentence" is FL)...I wonder why the Feds should help them since they are certainly mouthing off about the Feds in general, as well as the vaccines, mask edicts, social distancing, etc. As a taxpayer, why should I help these idiots?

Anti-government Republicans ask for help from the government

Many GOP governors live by Reagan’s infamous quote: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’” Now those same Republicans are quietly saying six words: “We need help from the government.”
