DeSantis is WORSE than Trump
Some people have claimed that Ron DeSantis is "Trump light." They think he like Donald Trump without the crazy.
The truth about DeSantis is simple. DeSantis panders to Trump's base - the fucking deplorables. DeSantis uses a combination of ingredients to give Trump's base that he is one of them. DeSantis loves to attack the east targets including homosexuals, immigrants, the press, minorities, vaccines, drag queens and transgender children. DeSantis is using Trump's strategy - he wants the White-wing knuckle draggers to believe that he hates the same people they hate.
Everyone knows that Donald Trump is an unelectable loser who has committed many crimes. And Trump wouldn't know the truth if it slapped his fat fucking ass. So Trump doesn't know he is unelectable (yet). DeSantis seems to be the Republican most likely to get the nomination. Trump now perceives DeSantis as a threat so he has started attacking him.
It is fun to watch other Republicans tip toe around Trump. Nikki Haley said she does't think the 2020 election was stolen and she was appalled at how Trump treated Mike Pence. It will be interesting to see Haley debate Pence if they both seek the nomination. Another member of Trump's cabinet, Mike Pompeo, who is almost as intelligent as tuna scented douche, will probably also run (yawn).
Now, back to Ron DeSantis....
Ron DeSantis, Notoriously Petty Man-Child, Swears His Anti-Media Crusade Has Nothing to Do With His Own Bad Press
The Florida governor insists that proposed legislation to make it easier to sue journalists is all about the “little guy.”
BY BESS LEVIN
FEBRUARY 23, 2023
Florida governor Ron DeSantis gets a lot of good press from media outlets who dangerously frame him as a happy alternative to Trump . At the same time, he gets negative press as well, thanks to— checks notes —his own policies and political positions, which, as a reminder, include :
Treating migrants like chattel ;
Signing a bill into law literally known as “ Don’t Say Gay ”;
Punishing people for speaking out against “Don’t Say Gay” ;
Signing a “dystopian” bill into law that restricts conversations about race in schools and businesses;
Declaring that the College Board’s AP African American studies course was not welcome in Florida because it touched on queer theory and intersectionality ;
Making it more difficult to vote ;
Having Floridians arrested as a political stunt ;
Appointing a surgeon general who promoted hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and recommended that healthy children not get vaccinated against COVID-19;
Bullying the Special Olympics into dropping its vaccine mandate for competition;
Signing an “anti-riot” bill into law in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that, among other things, grants civil immunity to people who drive their cars into protesters blocking a road; prevents people accused of rioting from being bailed out of jail until after their first court appearance; and makes it a second-degree felony to destroy a plaque, memorial, painting, flag, or other structures commemorating historical people or events (like, for instance, Confederate statues);
Eliminating Medicaid coverage for transgender care ;
Barring transgender girls from competing in sports ;
Demonizing and targeting drag shows;
Declaring, in official state guidance , that children who identify as trans should not be allowed to wear clothes or use pronouns or names that align with their gender identity
DeSantis clearly doesn’t like it when media outlets, writing about the above, describe his stewardship of Florida in less than glowing terms. Of course, one way of avoiding that kind of press would be to not run the state like a fascist. But apparently, DeSantis has other ideas.
Per Politico :
At the governor’s urging, Florida’s Republican-dominated legislature is pushing to weaken state laws that have long protected journalists against defamation suits and frivolous lawsuits. The proposal is part DeSantis’s ongoing feud with media outlets like The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN, and The Washington Post—media companies he claims are biased against Republicans—as he prepares for a likely 2024 presidential bid. Beyond making it easier to sue journalists, the proposal is also being positioned to spark a larger legal battle with the goal of eventually overturning New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 US Supreme Court ruling that limits public officials’ ability to sue publishers for defamation, according to state Rep. Alex Andrade, the Florida Republican sponsoring the bill.
DeSantis has a less than cordial relationship with many press outlets, and typically refuses to be interviewed by any platform that is not Fox News. In a campaign video released last August, he described his relationship with the press in warlike terms: “The rules of engagement are as follows: Number one—don’t fire unless fired upon, but when they fire, you fire back with overwhelming force. Number two—never ever back down from a fight. Number three—don’t accept their narrative.”
But as Politico notes, the DeSantis-backed bill “goes further than simply decrying media bias,” with free-press experts saying the legislation is unconstitutional and could have extremely worrisome consequences. “I have never seen anything remotely like this legislation,” Seth Stern, director of advocacy for the Freedom of the Press Foundation, told the outlet. “I can’t say I have seen every bill ever introduced, but I’d be quite surprised if any state legislature had seriously considered such a brazen and blatantly unconstitutional attack on speech and press freedoms. This bill is particularly remarkable since its provisions have the vocal support of a governor and likely presidential candidate.”
In its current form, the bill would reportedly let plaintiffs who file suits against media outlets for defamation to collect attorneys fees; includes a provision stipulating that remarks by anonymous sources will be assumed false (?) for the purposes of such suits; lower the bar for a “public figure” to be able to prove defamation; and revoke a section of state law concerning “journalist’s privilege,” which protects journalists from being forced to, among other things, reveal the identity of their sources in court.

Ron DeSantis wants to rewrite history and destroy education.
DeSantis may be even more of a fucking racist than The Donald.
DeSantis wants to destroy Disney World. His hostile take over of a place dedicated to happiness defines his assholiness.
Former Navy Pilot Rips 'Pathetic' Ron DeSantis Over 'Top Gun' Stunt
A former U.S. Navy pilot is calling out Ron DeSantis for his new “Top Gun”-themed campaign ad in which the Republican Florida governor calls himself “Top Gov.”
“It’s not just cringey,” said Ken Harbaugh. “It’s literally Navy pilot cosplay.”
In the widely mocked ad , DeSantis donned aviator shades and a bomber jacket and plopped into what appeared to be the pilot’s seat of a fighter jet as he talked about taking on the “corporate media.”
Harbaugh, a former Navy pilot and host of the “Burn the Boats” podcast, showed off his own jacket in a video posted by progressive PAC MeidasTouch.
“Now, unlike Ron DeSantis, I didn’t pick this jacket up at Party City,” Harbaugh said. “These are actual pilot wings.”
Harbaugh noted that while DeSantis did serve in the Navy, it was as an attorney.
“Nothing wrong with that,” Harbaugh said. “Until you start strutting around the flight line wearing aviator shades and pretending to be a badass.”
He added:
Harbaugh concluded by giving DeSantis a new callsign: Wedge or “the simplest tool known to man.”
See his full response below:
This article originally appeared on
Yeah, I'd love to give DeSantis a fucking wedgie.
It's interesting that DeSantis is a Tom Cruise wannabe,
They're both fucking crazy as shit.
Lol. So predictable. If mitt Romney were suddenly to become the front runner, he’d be worse than trump. How tightly their puppet masters control so many on the left is something to see.
You know what this means, Sean. The [ left Deleted ] is scared shitless of DeSantis being the nominee, so the slime fest starts. They'll do the same thing to Nikki Haley.
It's so fucking predictable and pathetic.
Yes, DeSantis is fucking pathetic.
I am sure the republicans have nothing but love and praise against their running mates...
It's so fucking predictable and pathetic.
Yep. That X is worse than Trump has been a running joke for years.
It's like when they protested a Supreme Court nomination and some of the protesters forgot to fill in the blank of the nominee on the sign. It's all so scripted and staged.
Yes, Trump loves DeSantis.
Trump called him “Ron DeSanctimonious” and said DeSantis groomed high school girls with alcohol when he was a teacher.
Yep, Trump implied that DeSantis is a pedophile.
It should be obvious to anyone with a functioning mind that the Ds would prefer Trump over DeSantis. DeSantis has a chance to win in the general whereas Trump would hand the presidency to whomever was the D nominee.
Of course, Trump will not go silently into the night. He is very likely to run third party, split the R vote, and indirectly hand the presidency to the D nominee.
Trump is a major problem for the GOP yet so many continue to defend him. It is beyond nuts.
The potential to see this could come early in the election cycle.
Of course the RNC also stated that they would not pay any more of Trump's legal bills if he ran for President in 24. They said this as recently as November but I can't find anything else to indicate if they are still paying or have stopped paying. If the RNC is still paying Trump's legal bills then it's fair to say the requirement to support the eventual nominee is another toothless expression.
[✘]
Trump is running only because he sees support among sufficient GOP voters. Those who support him (including those who do not support him but will vote for him if he is the nominee) is what gives Trump his current (albeit waning) power.
Because of the winner takes all policy in most gop primaries then Trump only needs about 35% of all gop primarily votes to insure re-nomination, if there are more than three Republicans running in 2024!
Trump's gop base of support is over 35%.
If the gop foolishly re-nominates Trump then Biden will easily win his 2nd term...
This article is about DeSantis.
Your choice of a "pedophile deflection"is interesting since Trump has accused Ron "DeSanctimonious" of using alcohol to groom high school girls when he was a teacher.
You must be a DeSantis supporter. Why do you support a homophobic anti-vaxxer?
It's also telling that you're taking Trumps word for that.
Correct, Trump could win the nomination by plurality (as he did in 2016). Seems far too many GOP members cannot grasp this.
how funny it would be to have trump made the nominee just before they put the bracelets on him.
I said Trump has accused....
I did NOT say I'm "taking Trump's word for that."
I would never take Trump's word for anything.
They cannot grasp much of anything.
Many of them very likely know they are full of shit yet they keep spouting the nonsense. It is the end-justifies-the-means philosophy coupled with the Trumpist tactic of: 'if you tell a lie with sufficient conviction and never back down ... many will wind up buying your bullshit'.
Yes, unless he gets convicted, he's still the fucking front runner.
And, if he doesn't get the Republican nomination he may do the third party dance.
Either possibility would insure a Democratic victory regardless of who they nominate.
Don Jr. killed the symbol of the GOP and his daddy will kill the Party.
"Damn, I thought this was his dick."
Trump could still run for PotUS if convicted.
And multiple millions of sycophants would vote for him.
of course, he would still represent their deeply held political and religious values...
Yes, he would represent law and order and hypocrisy.
law by autocratic fiat, order of mc d's double cheese burger with fries and a diet coke, hypocrisy is a tough call. he could be a papist that believes absolution in a dying breath, depending upon finances, or an evangelical that believes forgiven at birth and anything else that happens to go wrong later is rinsed off and ready to go again late sunday, again with a donation...
All the more reason to vote for him! He must be a good man.
the "left" won't have to do anything, trump will trash all candidates on the right.
Trump treats the Republican primary process like a celebrity roast.
He is already trying out nicknames like "Ron DeSanctimonious" for DeSantis.
I hope "Dumb Donald" can come up with some entertaining nicknames for his opponents.
He needs some comedy writers.
The antithesis of independent thought ... believe the inverse of whatever your opponents hold true.
Brilliant.
(Hint: draw conclusions from evidence ... not by simply inverting the views of others.)
Oh the left not liking him is only one of the reasons I would support him. I am not sure I will right now it is much to early to decide. Just starting out though he is a better candidate than anyone the democrats can come up with
That should not even be a consideration; make your own decisions based on your own criteria rather than simply taking the opposite of someone else's views as 'truth'.
It is beyond obvious that you would support any R over any D.
Did your crystal balls tell you that?
Do you know everyone the Democrats could come up with?
I shouldn't be amazed at the idiotic things I read on here daily but once in a while some body catches me
it's not going to make much difference to a lot of elderly republican voters in 20 months.
A lot of elderly democrats will die to. Add to that the you g ones Biden I killing by not doing anything about it the drugs coming across the border.
I don't know what you were trying to say.
I showed your comment to a friend who has a PhD in linguistics.
He laughed and said, "Sorry, I don't speak gibberish, so I can't translate that stupid shit."
Well then you "friend" may have a PhD is proof that just because someone was given a degree it doesn't make him smart. I know there are some typos in the comment but I doubt even your friend is not so stupid that he could not figure it out.
BTW I will tell that to his face if he wishes.
what's your degree in again?
yeah, it'll probably sound just like it reads...
When Trump posted his gibberish he said the libs were too stupid to figure it out. He didn't even bother to admit it was a "typo." He never bothered to explain his stupid tweet.
he needs an obama phone with the really big buttons...
[✘]
I beg to differ...
if you see them forming a circle around a ron desantis flag or poster, get away fast...
Comical coming from the party that bashes anything or anyone deemed Liberal.
Or how about the daily Biden bashing.
To complain about something that is done by both sides of the isle is nothing more than moronic.
Comical coming from the party that bashes anything or anyone deemed Liberal
That's not the same thing, at all.
Trump, we've been told for years, is the worst human in history. A Nazi etc.. And, sure as the sun rises, as soon as someone became a threat to Democrats, the talking point was "he's worse than Trump."
Its just fill in the blank punditry that's everyone has seen coming for years. If Liz Cheney wins the nomination, she'll be worse than Trump!
I am afraid you do not understand the analogy. donald pulled all of his stunts while being an idiot.
The analogy is that DeSantis pulls the same stunts as donald, he is smarter than donald.
So picture it as someone with all of donald's bad attributes given to someone smarter than him...
Scary thought.
Also Since I have heard this worse than trump meme, I am waiting for you all to actually use the, 'he is worse than Biden'. I can hear it now....
I'm afraid you don't understand how predictable and generic this attack is. The playbook has been the same for literally decades.
Goldwater was a neo Nazi. Then Nixon was "worse than Goldwater." and every Republican after Nixon was worse than him. Than Reagan became the ultimate boogeyman, then Bush, then Trump.
DeSantis, and every other Republican who challenges Democrats will be worse than Trump. Then, the next Republican to be President will be the worst American history in history, and the next generation will be worse than X. And trump, once he's safely dead like Goldwater or Reagan will praised by the left as a reasonable person, unlike Republican X, who is Hitler.
I have to give the Retrumplicans credit for finding an asshole who is even worse than Trump.
I assume you support DeSantis.
Are you also an anti-vaxxer?
Do you like Florida's Surgeon General?
Covid-19: Florida’s surgeon general used “careless” research practice in recommending against vaccination, his university finds
Florida’s surgeon general violated his university’s rules against “careless, irregular, or contentious research practices” in recommending against mRNA coronavirus vaccination for males aged 18-39 , according to a report by his colleagues at the University of Florida’s faculty of medicine.
Joseph Ladapo, who was appointed by Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis, an outspoken critic of vaccines, became the only one of the country’s 50 state surgeons general to contradict federal health authorities , and the overwhelming consensus of experts, by recommending last October against the mRNA vaccination of young men. He cited the risk of cardiomyopathy.
You just made my point. Shit like that has been going on for decades.
The only difference I can see is now the republicans are blind to their own side pulling the same crap.
I'm not sure you will hear that any time soon. I have doubts that the Democrats can find anybody worse than Biden....
If republicans think Biden is the worst president in history, I can guarantee you after or close to when he is out of office, yes, some people will say, omg, that nutjob would be worse than Biden...
I don't speak for Republicans any more than I speak for Democrats. So what Republicans think is up to them and not me. However I'm confident that SOME people will feel that the next person up would be worse than Biden. That's life.
All I really said was that I doubt you will be hearing "he's worse than Biden" anytime soon. And for the next line perhaps I do need to modify it, I have doubts that the Democrats can find anybody worse than Biden for the 2024 presidential elections. Beyond that I refuse to predict. Hell, I don't even know what I'll have for supper tomorrow night.
Not a planner aye? Haha
I will get a craving and a wild hair up my ass and then want something specific.
The other night I just wanted ribs for some reason.
My planning for supper usually starts in the morning when I decide what to pull out of the freezer. Only time I plan multiple days is when I am making something largish in the crock pot which will result in enough for two meals in the house. Otherwise it's a day of decision.
Although I do have a craving for some buffalo ribeye steaks... might have to do them Tuesday on the grill...
Good thing I don't live by you. Smell steaks and I would look like the neighbor Wilson from Home Improvement peeking over the fence...
AOC is too young.
Sort of like the daily George W. Bush bashing and the Trump bashing we got during their terms. You didn't seem to mind that.
Good thing. Maybe by the time she is eligible people wise up and discard her like an old shoe
My my. How very simplistic of you to forget all the Obama or Clinton years.
Yep, nothing like being a total blind partisan.
[✘]
Not in my book. Romney is an example of the type of integrity I would seek in a politician (given integrity and politician are typically at odds).
That is kinda the point I was trying to make to Snuffy.
Parts of the republican base don't want a statesman any more. They want someone that will be combative. Like it makes them think the person is working for them or something.
omney is an example of the type of integrity I would seek in a politician (given integrity and politician are typically at odds).
I agree. But in 2012, he was a monster. He was worse than Bush, who was the left's embodiment of evil at the time. Now that he's no longer a national threat to Democrats, he can held up as a good Republican.
These "X is worse than Trump" hit pieces are mindless and endlessly recycled. X doesn't matter. X could be Romney, or Haley or Cheney. Whoever threatens Democratic power will always be "worse" than the current Democratic boogeyman. It's how you keep a party perpetually believing the country is on the brink of an apocalypse if the Democrats don't win.
He was a monster because he strapped his dog on top of his car...
My point being is you act like this is only an issue on one side of the isle.
All of them demonize the opposition.
You must be trying to say that the Ds thought he was a monster. Objectively he was about as good a statesman as we might get nowadays.
It is obvious that partisans will speak only the worst of opponents and only the best of their kind. Nothing new there.
No kidding. But this article is even more mindless and predictable than your run of the mill partisan sniping. This "fill in the blank is the worst ever" is continuation of 60 plus years of hysterical boy who cried wolf fear mongering that the generic Republican is the worst person in American history and will destroy the Republic. And the next Republican is always worse than the person who was a once in a lifetime threat to the Republic just a few years before. I would assume that anyone who's spent the last 7 years listening to how uniquely horrible and dangerous a person Trump is would be surprised to find out that, nope, DeSantis is actually a bigger threat to the world than Trump ever was. But some people are perpetually gullible, I guess.
It doesn't matter if its Romney, or DeSantis, the attacks are just as hysterical and just as apocalyptic.
True, that's why this thread is simply partisan opinion.
I guess you missed the SPECIFIC reasons why DeSantis is a fucking fascist:
Treating migrants like chattel ;
Signing a bill into law literally known as “ Don’t Say Gay ”;
Punishing people for speaking out against “Don’t Say Gay” ;
Signing a “dystopian” bill into law that restricts conversations about race in schools and businesses;
Declaring that the College Board’s AP African American studies course was not welcome in Florida because it touched on queer theory and intersectionality ;
Making it more difficult to vote ;
Having Floridians arrested as a political stunt ;
Appointing a surgeon general who promoted hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and recommended that healthy children not get vaccinated against COVID-19;
Bullying the Special Olympics into dropping its vaccine mandate for competition;
Signing an “anti-riot” bill into law in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that, among other things, grants civil immunity to people who drive their cars into protesters blocking a road; prevents people accused of rioting from being bailed out of jail until after their first court appearance; and makes it a second-degree felony to destroy a plaque, memorial, painting, flag, or other structures commemorating historical people or events (like, for instance, Confederate statues);
Eliminating Medicaid coverage for transgender care ;
Barring transgender girls from competing in sports ;
Demonizing and targeting drag shows;
Declaring, in official state guidance , that children who identify as trans should not be allowed to wear clothes or use pronouns or names that align with their gender identity
They wants someone who the think hates the same people they hate.
With Retrumplicans it's all about hate.
Really?
Watch the leftist reaction when I mention 2 things...
1) Donald Trump and
2) Any minority that escapes the democrat plantation.
The hatred of both by leftists is overwhelming...
And that's only 2 things. There are many, many more.
Can you refuter any of the facts specified in comment 3.4.7 (and also in the article)?
Are you a homophobic anti-vaxxer like Ron DeSantis?
If you mean "are you a free thinker and don't subscribe to the leftist hive way of thinking", then yes, I am just like Ron DeSantis. And proudly so.
It does not matter who is running on either side. Partisan politics is a blood-sport where attacks are the means to an end and facts do not matter.
Congratulations?
Are you a homophobic anti-vaxxer like DeSantis?
DeSantis proudly signed a bill into law literally known as “ Don’t Say Gay ”.
DeSantis appointed a surgeon general who promoted hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and recommended that healthy children (and men 18-39) not get vaccinated against COVID-19.
I already answered your question. Why ask it again.
DeSantis is my governor, and I am proud to have voted for him and will vote for him if he runs for president.
There is no such thing as a "Don't say gay" bill. That is nothing but triggered leftists who can't handle that they will not be able to push their agendas down children's throats. DeSantis made the right call with this one.
As far as the surgeon general. He made recommendations based on research, It is well known that children would not catch COVID, and of they did, it would be minor. The statistics prove this. Parents and adults have the right to make up their own minds concerning their children and themselves. Just because you don't like it, it is no one's problem but yours.
The medications listed do have some qualities that lessen the effects of COVID. Leftists are triggered over the use of ivermectin, believing it is only used for parasites in cattle, That;s what the lemmings were told and that is what they ran with, not knowing how to look at the truth because they were told not to.
Ron DeSantis’s “Don’t Say Gay” Law Has Already Made Florida Schools Dystopian Hellscapes
With the anti-LGBTQ+ law officially in effect, teachers are scared to wear rainbows, have pictures of their same-sex spouses, and in some places have to notify parents upon the “determination” of an “open” LGBTQ+ student in the class.
Vanity Fair
The only anti-tax surgeon is the one DeSantis picked. The other 49 state surgeons are in favor of vaccinations
Florida to be first state to recommend healthy kids not get COVID-19 vaccine, contradicting CDC
No facts to be found in that comment, Jizz.
The comment included fifteen fucking links.
Your comments usually contain zero links.
I think you needed a flashlight.
Dis you see any "Jizz?"
Again....there is no such thing as the "don't say gay" bill. I invite you to show where in the Parental Rights in Education bill that actually states that teachers are banned from saying the word "gay".
Let me help you....it doesn't. It was triggered leftists that gave the bill this name.....and of course, the dumbass liberal media ran with it. All it says is teachers cannot teach sexuality to k-3 children.
Why would leftists want to spread their sickness to innocent children?
As far Florida recommending healthy kids not get the COVIS vaccine, that is up to the parents to decide. Florida did not require vaccines for children to attend school and those schools fared far better than the lemming leftist blue city/states that required masking AND vaccines.
Leftists hate DeSantis because he made EVERY leftist governor look stupid....without even trying.
Let's see your proof.
Tell you what.
You show me where in the Parental Rights in Education bill that actually states that teachers are banned from saying the word "gay", and I will show you how Florida kids fared better.
fascist state, fascist schools, fascist history, fascist teachers... what could go wrong?
Glad to see you recognize the true nature of blue city/state schools.
Can you say 0 kids proficient in math in most Baltimore schools?
Literally a breeding ground for leftism.
All you need is dumb kids and you have ensured a leftist community.
I asked you to show your proof (comment 3.4.20).
Apparently you can't.
You keep making statements that you can't back up.
Maybe he was hoping you’d step up and find out for yourself? Since that doesn’t seem to be the case, here ya go.
Here's the statement I asked bugs to document:
Can you say 0 kids proficient in math in most Baltimore schools?
Here is a paragraph from YOUR source:
In a statement released by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), it was disclosed that “math proficiency percentages for grades three through eight decreased from 33 percent in 2018-2019 to 22 percent in 2021-2022. ”
I guess you and bugsy believe that 22% = 0.
You guys have demonstrated that YOUR proficiency in mathematics is shitty.
You mean like Biden did when he flew illegals a over the country in the middle of the night.
This is from your link
Elective surgeries and treatments like transgender care is not covered by Medicaid.
Biologic males should not be allowed to compete against biological females. They will have obvious advantages in strength and other areas. Oh and transgender girls are not girls but males in costume.
Declaring drag shows should only be done in age appropriate situations and places is hardly demonizing them.
In 3.4.19 I invited you to show proof that the Parental Rights in Education bill banned teachers from saying the word gay. You failed to do so and will continue to.
However, since I don't post things without backup, here is the proof of my dumbed down liberal kids comment.
As I said earlier.
All you need is dumb kids and you are ensured a liberal community
Baltimore, and many other blue cities/states are proof of this.
Now...answer my question....but expecting
Crickets to ensue.
Funny how you think you need to answer for dev....but since neither of you can answer my invite, I am 2-0 in proving leftists wrong...just this morning.
fox news is your source? gee, it must be true...
the only thing you've proved is your incompetency in basic math ...
Here is the fucking headline from your Fox news source:
Outrage on Twitter after Baltimore reveals zero students proficient in math across 23 schools: ‘FAILURE'
Then in the body of Fox article it says:
Math proficiency for grades three through eight decreased from "33% in 2018-2019 to 22% in 2021-2022."
This indicates that Fox (like you) can't do the fucking math.
22% still doesn't equal zero.
It's kinda funny that you want to flame on students in Baltimore for having poor math skills by quoting sources that demonstrate they also have poor math skills.
[✘]
This is too fucking easy.
Not only are most leftist kids illiterate in math, but it seems most of the adults are illiterate in reading comprehension.
How about you show me where I said ALL kids are not proficient in math. I didn't. I said MOST. You even proved my point with the 22 percent figure, If you are proud that only 22 percent of kids are proficient in math in a blue city, then those cities are truly fucked;
Your little friends are seeming to have the same comprehension problem. with their little snark responses and dumb as emojis.
Now, again, show me where in the Parental Rights bill it says that it is illegal to say gay.
The crickets are getting louder, but I don't expect a cohesive response, if any.
[deleted]
How about you try and prove me wrong.
[deleted]
Here’s another paragraph,
“Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) representatives are responding to outrage over the disclosure that 23 City Schools have zero students deemed proficient in mathematics.”
It looks like you have demonstrated that your proficiency in math AND english is in the shitter.
You said:
Can you say 0 kids proficient in math in most Baltimore schools? ( 3.4.23 )
In a later comment ( 3.4.29 ) you offered a link to Fox "news" as proof:
here is the proof of my dumbed down liberal kids comment.
foxnews
That Fox link has this headline:
Outrage on Twitter after Baltimore reveals zero students proficient in math across 23 schools: ‘FAILURE'
Butt the body of the Fox article contradicts the headline. It says:
Math proficiency for grades three through eight decreased from "33% in 2018-2019 to 22% in 2021-2022. "
I have quoted to Fox bullshit earlier in this thread. Fox and YOU can't do the fucking math. Obviously, 22% does NOT equal zero.
I realize you are too obtuse to understand. Butt, I'm through with this stupidity. I suggest you go lie on a different thread.
Here are the math scores by state:
States with the Highest and Lowest Math Scores
Math is an important subject and it rests at the core of many careers in the emerging STEM fields. Understanding the broad disciplines of math is not easy in any capacity, yet math scores can determine the course of any given student’s future path.
At Learner, we understand both the difficulty and the necessity of math as a subject and wanted to know what math looks like in the United States. We took a look at the average SAT math scores throughout the nation to find which states had the highest and the lowest. Check out the map and additional findings below to see how your state stacks up against the rest!
The states with the highest math scores are:
The states with the lowest math scores are:
Interesting Data Findings
As you can see, Florida has the lowest math sores.
I want all of the White-wing knuckle dragging stalker/trolls on this thread to spin these fucking numbers. I'm sure Fox "news" can contradict these facts since they are campaigning fo DeSantis. And, of course, since Fox "news" loves to lie, they can invent some "facts" to make DeSantis look good.
Okay, instead of trollsplaining the Fox "news" bullshit, read and explain what I posted in 3.4.42

I want all of the White-wing knuckle dragging stalker/trolls on this thread to spin these fucking numbers. I'm sure Fox "news" can contradict these facts since they are campaigning fo DeSantis. And, of course, since Fox "news" loves to lie, they can invent some "facts" to make DeSantis look good.
Sure.
Florida has the LOWEST math scores of any state.
Please trollsplain that.
Ding! We have a wiener.
I think DeSantis should get the credit for Florida's dismal performance.
They receive highly coveted DeSantis Math prizes with the famous 22% = zero logo.
That's because it's so cold. Might as well do your math homework
a great place to learn about negative numbers...
Statewide scores on the SAT is actually a common illustration in entry level statistics courses.
In order for the comparisons to be statistically valid, the samples would have to be random, but they're not.
Most colleges in the midwest prefer the ACT. So kids in those states are less likely to take the SAT unless they're headed to a coastal school. That group of students headed to out of state schools is statistically a higher performing group.
It would be like comparing the overall population at one school to varsity athletes at another and concluding the latter to have better phys ed programs.

The only way they could raise dumber kids is to homeschool them, but most liberals are to lazy or drugged up to do that.
“…most liberals are to [sic] lazy or drugged up to do that.”
Painting with a rather broad brush there, George…or are you just finger painting?
It is amazing how so many people build these ridiculous stereotypes and then apply them in total for anyone who meets any of the criteria.
For example, if you challenge the counter-productive (stupid, actually) defenses of Trump you are a 'liberal' and are attributed with all the various accumulated properties of that stereotype.
It is simplistic, naive, binary thinking and it explains why so many who engage in such a practice are typically wrong.
Their grievances define the modern republican party.
No substance at all.
Right. If they could only be so creative as to argue "fill in the blank is worse than Trump" That's some real deep substantive policy there.
The best thing is that DeSantis is handing the leftist media their ass every time they put out a hit piece on him. His campaign spokesperson and his governor spokesperson have the best responses to these idiots....and they have nothing to counter them.
Not everything is about donald...
You mind telling your leftist friends that, because they sure as hell don't believe it.
Donald just likes to think everything is about him...
That's because his ego has convinced him that he IS the center of the universe.
But just because his ego is over-bloated, why are so many on the left constantly tying everything to Trump?
Because he is nothing but a nasty piece of shit.
Hell he even makes fun of someone's wife and they turn around and kiss his ring.
A large aspect of the republican base loved his bombastic attitude and thinks it should be emulated.
Because he is a traitor and criminal who belongs in prison, and not in a position as a front running presidential candidate?
You want a question> How come so very few Republicans have told him to go to hell? That is a much better question than yours.
Do you seriously think people oppose Trump just because his ego is bloated? You have to be kidding.
Why are so many on the right loyal to the lying traitor?

IMO the tying of everything to Trump because of this is just bullshit. All it does if he sees it is that it continues to stroke his ego. But as I doubt if he's a member of the board here, he's not reading them. So the constant push to tie all things bad to Trump is to attack the Republican base on NT that loves his bombastic attitude? That's kind of sad that you think acting like Trump would work to attack his supporters on this board.
Your opinion that he's a traitor and criminal, I won't say that until he's actually convicted. I do believe in the law. As far as the front-running candidate in the Republican party, I can only hope that is mostly because it's so early in the 24 campaign. I won't vote for him so if he's the Republican candidate at election time my vote will go to some third party unless the Democrats can come up with someone I could support (right now they don't have anybody I could vote for).
You would have to ask Republicans that question, it's not one I can answer.
My statement was a direct reply to the conversation thread that I replied to. It was not a stand-alone comment. Context matters.
Ask them, I don't speak for anybody but myself.
I don't usually care about donald. The way I see him is like the end of a movie. I see the camera on him and he is yelling and screaming and complaining and the camera slowly pans away.
I don't see where you get the attacking his supporters. A lot of people say they are not a fan of his (even when they are) for some reason.
The point from my perspective was I think the last thing we need is more politicians acting like complete morons and acting like it is acceptable for the leader of the free world to engage in grade school name calling and antics.
There are some on this chat board who will state a person is defending Trump and supporting Trump just because the person is not in lockstep (or is it goosestep) with the person who hates Trump. They have lost the ability to see the bigger picture, it's always only about Trump. I can't count the number of times I've been accused of supporting Trump, solely because I could not see where the illegal action occurred so I was going to wait until the end of the investigation, or because I am a believer in the rule of law and due process I didn't jump on the lock him up bandwagon each time a new article came out basically stating "we got him now". I'm not a supporter of Trump and I get attacked by members of this very chat board.
I wish we could get more politicians to act like politicians who actually care about their constituents but I'm afraid that ship has sailed. It seems that watching the President attack his political enemies has become the norm. The extremists have taken over and I don't know where it's going to end as there are too many who support those extremists.
I have read several of your chats and I know what you are saying. It was kinda like the jurist on the Georgia case.
I think you were right but people didn't want to hear it.
I don't think it is too late for us though. I think the extremists tend to vote more than regular people. That is what we need to change Imo. Like a city of 40 or 50 thousand and only 1k shows up to vote for who is on the school board.
That one just really drives me nuts. The Georgia case could have been the nail in the coffin of Trumps political future and with the actions of the jurist that case may just go away. And best it's been severely impacted in a negative way and people don't want to talk about it. SMH
As for it not being too late, I hope you're right. But I doubt that I'll see any major changes coming. People are basically sheep and will only come out in force when their comfortable homelife is in danger. This economy may do it, especially if we do fall into a recession before the 24 elections.
I read an article the other day that someone was claiming that the juror was secretly there just to help trump...
All I could think is someone knows they fucked it up so the conspiracies start.
Snuffy, regarding the Georgia case, she changed no one's minds about the case, people's opinions of #45 have not changed. What she did made no difference in the end. She is finished talking, correct?
It was still s dumb move Imo. Anything that gives them a chance to get off on a technicality.
I see the endless defense by some of the indefensible.
You couldn't be more wrong in comment 4.1.15.
I see endless defense by some of the indefensible, tireless defense of the indefensible.
We will have to wait and see. Her talking about everything she did talk about definitely impacted the case and the ability for the DA to proceed.
First thing the DA will need to do in order to move forward is to impanel a regular grand jury in order to get indictments against Trump and anybody else. With what the jurist has been doing, any indictments would be almost immediately met with the defense lawyers asking for dismissal due to a tainted grand jury. We shall have to wait and see, but moving forward and actually winning any convictions has definitely gotten harder for the DA.
Do you happen to remember where that article was? I had posted a couple days ago in other threads that I was waiting for someone to come forward with that very conspiracy theory.
Reading is fundamental, and in some cases really really necessary.
Comment 4.1.15 is not my comment so I could not have been wrong in that comment. I didn't write it.
I think donald is guilty as hell. We all, well most of us anyway, know he acts like a child that would do everything in his power to get what he wants.
I don't think Snuffy was defending him just stating that it was actually an irresponsible move on the jurors part.
I didn't read or hear exactly what she said but if she did say things that could only be released by a judge, even if the juror wanted him charged, they are hurting their own cause.
IMO it makes no difference in the end.
Donald Trump approved of a plan that would have entailed Pence just declaring him to be the winner of the election because the votes from 7 swing states were "contested" and should not be counted. In reality there was no contesting of those electoral votes within the states. All of them had been certified by state election authorities.
Trump is a traitor and I dont care if he is ever officially indicted. The truth is the truth, and it is already known.
I didn't read the article just the headline. I saw it while I was going through the newsfeed on my phone.
You're a very fair person so I'm not going to disagree with you.
It's all my humble opinion in the end as well as with snuffy (as far as I'm concerned) so I'll agree to disagree with you in this matter.
Peace
The article is literally titled DeSantis is worse than Trump
That's how a forum works. I can respond to any member and or comment any member makes and refer to whoever I choose regarding any comment someone makes whether you're talking to me or whether that's your comment or not.
It was a joke...
There are far bigger problems with Trump than just people think he is an asshole. He tried to steal an election and overthrow our government. I wish people would stop saying he is disliked just because he acts like a child. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
Yes that's how a forum works. But it's also incumbent on the writer to insure they are not being obtuse or confusing in what they write. You replied to my comment ( 4.1.16 ) and the first sentence in your comment was
Now if that comment was not directed to me then you were deliberately confusing. As I said, I did not write comment 4.1.15 so I could not have been wrong. If you try to have a conversation then it's on you to be sure you are clear in what you are saying.
No, it will make no difference in the end.
Whatever
So please tell us why you like DeSantis.
And CONSTANTLY AND TIRESOMELY defend the indefensible while claiming they're not doing so.
And constantly defend the indefensible.
Are you a homophobic anti-vaxxer like Ron DeSantis?
And Trump as the Secretary of Defense. Where will that leave Joe?

Trump has NO military experience.
He was classified 4-F ( a U.S. Selective Service classification designating a person considered physically, psychologically, or morally unfit for military duty).
Butt he stole a veteran's Purple Heart so I guess he's a badass motherfucker.
Joe set the precedent of having totally unqualified people in his government because they check a box. Trump checks his lying piece of shit box just like Joe does. Live with it.
Trump set the precedent of surrounding himself with fellow criminals....
Your lame claim doesn't stand up next to the following FACTS.
Bannon Joins Long List Of Trump Associates Who Have Been Charged Or Imprisoned
TOPLINE
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was arrested on Thursday after being charged with fraud in connection to the “We Build the Wall” fundraising campaign, joining a sizable list of President Trump’s associates to have been charged or imprisoned on criminal counts.
KEY FACTS
Steve Bannon’s indictment , which claims that he, along with three others, defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors to the “We Build the Wall” fundraising scheme for personal profit, makes him the third and final campaign manager involved in Trump’s 2016 election to have faced criminal charges.
Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign head starting from January 2015, was arrested on misdemeanor battery charges for grabbing the arm of Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields in March 2016, whose allegations, though proven by video footage, were later dropped.
Lewandowski’s charges were dwarfed by those against successor Paul Manafort, who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison in 2019 for a slew of charges from Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference, including tax and bank fraud, and conspiracy against the United States.
The Mueller probe resulted in 100 charges against 34 people, six of whom were Trump associates, while the other 25 were Russians accused of interference.
Rick Gates, a Trump campaign deputy, was sentenced to 45 days in jail on a plea bargain for charges of conspiracy against the U.S. and making false statements; Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, though his case is currently in limbo as the Department of Justice is attempting to withdraw his charge; and George Papadopoulos, Trump’s former foreign policy advisor, was sentenced to 14 days in prison with a year of supervised release, for lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian intermediaries during the 2016 campaign.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, was sent to prison in 2018 for tax evasion, fraud and lying to Congress about his dealings with Russia on behalf of the president, and has pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations for making hush money payments to women to keep quiet allegations Trump engaged in extramarital affairs.
Trump recently commuted the prison sentence of longtime advisor Roger Stone, who was also convicted on seven charges, including lying to Congress and witness tampering, as part of Mueller’s investigation.
Then, there’s a number of slightly less central, but still Trump-connected figures who have been charged or jailed: Alex van der Zwaan and Konstantin Kilimnik, associates of Manafort and Gates who were charged with making false statements and conspiracy to obstruct justice, Sam Patten, a lobbyist who pleaded guilty to illegally funneling foreign money into Trump’s inaugural committee, and two associates of Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, who were charged with campaign-finance violations.
None of that changes the FACT that Joe brings people in based on checking a box first and qualifications second. He has admitted it several times.
Striving for diversity is a bad thing to you?
Picking the best qualified person for the job is a bad thing for you?
Like picking a foreign agent as the National Security Advisor?
Trump pardons Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he had granted a "full pardon" to his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
But but but trump!
None of that changes the FACT that Joe brings people in based on checking a box first and qualifications second. He has admitted it several times.
There is nothing wrong with striving for diversity when there are multiple qualified candidates for every job available...
Tell me all about qualified candidates.
Please stop spamming this thread with the same BS about Biden "checking a box."
This article is about Ron DeSantis, not Biden's appointments.
DeSantis ia a fucking homophobic anti-vaxxer.
"Don't say gay" DeSantis appointed the only anti-vaxxer state surgeon general in the US.
Unqualified people just for "diversity" is OK with you?
Biden wasn't striving, he was simply checking the boxes.
This article is about DeSantis.
Please stop with the idiotic deflections
Thanx for the spam.
Did you get it from Right Down the Center?
Not spamming but sure. And for the record you could have just stopped responding any time you chose instead of responding with irrelevant bullshit.
Cute when you directly respond to another poster yet get called out for deflection. I guess you had a point that could not de refuted.
No, diversity among qualified candidates!
Repeat that same lie but it is still a lie...
When you repeat the same bullshit over and over and over and over - it's fucking SPAM.
irrelevant bullshit.
This article is about DeSantis, not Biden's outstanding appointments.
You haven't posted anything even remotely relevant.

This is a ticket most sane Americans can get behind.
Fortunately, that leaves out most leftists.
DeSantis/Haley?
Getting some people sick over it is just an added benefit.
“Getting some people sick over it is just an added benefit.”
Great motivation. The sickness lies within.
Would you like a spoon or a ladle?
You seem confused about who is getting sick.
What ticket?
No sane American would want DeSantis or Haley anywhere near the White House. Sure, they have the support of reactionaries and right wing extremists, but sane Americans? Not a chance.
Let's see how Meatball handles insults to his wife. Hope I have enough popcorn to last through the inevitable shitshow.
the 2024 republican primary is going to be full of hilarious cannibalistic drama. a popcorn shortage is looming.
I'll enjoy watching the clowns flinging poop at each other.
Donald McDonald has has the most "ammunition."
Some people are frightened by clowns.
Especially when the clowns are fucking fascists.
No wonder the left is so afraid of him.
ron desantis
That's alot of shit you are trying to shovel.
And not in the least bit surprising.
and defends bad math scores
And how is he doing that?
Against trans? Shouldn't they be more concerned about mass shootings?

Many right leaners are afraid of schoolchildren learning black history, learning that there are people of differing sexual preferences, etc. What the fuck are republicans afraid of?
the RCC ultra conservative side of my family have produced 3 members of the LGBTQ community, that I know of. the last time we got together they tried again to save me, both religiously and politically, until I asked them how they are able to deal with those ideological contradictions. we don't get together much anymore, but their gay kids are all unsolicited FB friends. I guess somebody squealed. I like being the black sheep of the family, as well as all the daggers shooting from the eyes of their spouses. too bad.

Ron DeSantis Called A ‘Tyrant’ As Trump Supporters Barred From Book Signing
theguardian
Exactly, selective outrage from both sides:
Thank you for posting that extremely edifying Stephen Colbert look at DeSantis World.
I guess DeSantis will target Key West next because there may be "woke" people there too.
Luckily for the Dems, Trump considers DeSantis to be a traitor, which means DeSantis will not be the GOP nominee. Biden can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he will be running against Trump again. Anyone else and the Dems should be very worried, but Trump? He has lost every (the popular vote) election he has run in and the majority of people hate him, perfect guy to run against if your name is not Hillary Clinton.
Yet GOP members who say they do not want Trump to be the nominee but who will support him if he secures the nomination do not comprehend that their positions enable Trump. Instead of "I will vote for Trump if he is the nominee" they should be holding the position of "I will ensure Trump never gets nominated".
They clearly do not realize that their refusal to go after Trump enables him.
This shit is truly mind boggling. I mean, the idea of dedicating yourself and supporting anyone to the death other than your spouse or children is insane to me, but the fanatical loyalty to Trump just defies any and all explanation.
