John Oliver discusses Ron DeSantis, his track record as the governor of Florida, the pitfalls of comparing him to Donald Trump, and the supposed dangers of woke math.
And here's a "bootleg" version of the show which includes John's comments on recent events including O.J. Simpson's comments on the Alex Murdaugh murder trial; John's favorite commercials. It won't last long, as usual:

I get called so much for jury duty, I try to have a good sense of what's going on in the curreng threads.

(205,074 posts)Seems like anytime I'm in the middle of anything, I get called for another jury!
I have late night TV on and it's a Dragnet episode from 1970. To insult somebody, one guy just said to another "I'll bet you vote straight Republican - and in your closet you have a sheet with eyeholes!"

(57,073 posts)Even back then, people knew what hateful racists qpukes are!
Yet, they hadn't been given permission to outwardly spew their venom.
Remember that politician, something Wallace, I think... huge, overt racist & his political aspirations went down the drain immediately for it.
Because back then, people had an expectation of integrity & the concept that public servants were to serve all the people was popular. Now, since Obama left office, it's just ridiculous.

(205,074 posts)I remember when he ran for president as a third party candidate with Nixon and Humphrey. At the time, my teacher said that she didn't care if it was Humphrey or Nixon - as long as it wasn't that Wallace!

(57,073 posts)I can't recall the details, just how horrified I was at the hatred he spewed & how turned off the country was.
Horrid person!
Very different time now.

DeSantis is just awful, and the authoritarian cultists who admire him are downright creepy. "BDE"? yuck!
Here's a soon to be burned book!
