we are not just sitting here, we're posting it to kbin!
Not much can be done as of yet. The election season will really kick off in January, and short of hiring a hit squad, marching around with signs and getting screamed at/assaulted by rednecks doesn't really seem too effective. What would you propose?
Do the Florida sewer and septic sucking service workers have a union? Might be able to convince them to use their, ah “waste” from yet another school’s clogged septic tanks to, uh “fertilize” desantis’ yard.
He's polling worse than fucking RFK jr, he stands no chance. YoUr'Re AlL JuSt SiTtInG tHeRe! We're more than a year away from the general election, which he will never make it to because there are months of primaries before where Trump will assuredly win.
Relax, we're doing a sit in.
I love comments like this for the blatant lack of self-awareness that you're doing exactly what everyone else is.
While somehow finding a way to feel like you're better than.

Fuck this fascist turd.
"If Congress won't go that far, I'm going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life."
He keep saying shit like this and just once I would like him to explain HOW. WHAT POLICY? What, Ron, will you do that will "push back against leftism"? Tell me what you plan to enact.
HOW. WHAT POLICY? What, Ron, will you do that will "push back against leftism"?
Being mean to trans and gay people. That's the policy.
But that's my point. I want him to say that. I want him to explain his actual policy in uncoded terms.
"Throw dem gays into the nuklear reactor"
Ron DeSantis probably
Don’t forget black people. He was busy scrubbing away black history in Florida.
You expect a fucking Republicunt to have a policy beyond saying "woke" and complaining about Democrats?
The fuck country are you from? I want to move there.

Irs. Married filing jointly is only available for male female couples.
Education is an easy one because we already saw what he wants to do with floridas system. Basically erase history and ban books.
I have a guess he also wants to copy Hungary's education system, which is not only barely functioning due to a total lack of replenishment of retired teachers, but also horribly whitewash Hungarian history.
Think the "states rights" thing was bad? Get ready to the "we never did X, yet we got punished for it" method of teaching history.

Im too tired to give a witty comeback.
DeSantis is a fascist bitch
same. boring af. heard about some weird business. anti books is what i heard. Sorry, i am pro books.
I’m definitely pro library. Public libraries are awesome.
Ours has a living- seed bank of heirloom veggies, 3d printers, they do community events- including a Mongolian acrobatic circus (Friday-),sewing/quilting stuff. Oh and they have a lot of books … and that’s just off the top of my head.
Ron DeSantis is a fascist.
OMFG what a fucking bozo. So what he's proposing (among other very dumb things...literally) is an energy infrastructure like Texas. That'll go over real well.
Texas would try to convince the average resident that 95 degrees in your house IS room temperature if they could get away with it.
"But if my room is that temperature, therefore that temperature is room temperature!"

It’s worse than that. The DoE’s main job is overseeing nuclear materials (not just nuclear power plants, but the entire nuclear weapon stockpile).

Do I wish for a sane republicans or not. Doesn’t matter because one doesn’t seem to exist.
Never thought I’d miss McCain. At least he paid attention to reasoned arguments and tried a few himself.

This guy is flailing, lmao.
@kuontom During Rick Perry's short-lived presidential run, he said he wanted to eliminate 3 agencies but then forgot which ones they were. This is on the same level of stupidity
I was about to comment this as well. On top of that, I believe the Dept of Energy was one of the agencies he wanted to abolish and then ... Trump appointed him Sec of Energy! Womp womp
@HandsHurtLoL Yes that is right. Perry was appointed to DOE, the agency he wanted to abolish. Tillerson was installed at State so that he could dismantle it, which he did. All part of the Bannon "burn it down" theory of Government
this anti-IRS position is not going away. my mom hates the IRS and feels victimized, (because she hasn't figured out her taxes)
The IRS owes my mom and most broke people a simple accounting,

He's trying to out Trump Trump. You could say he's trumping Trump. All in hopes he can steal away enough wacko votes to win.

Ron DeKlantis, not even hiding how much of a fascist fuck he is
though considering many of those agencies aid in politicians' ill-gotten wealth, that isnt going to go far
He... does know what the IRS is, right? The way the federal government gets money. What, is he going to expect the treasury to print more money?
No, he and every other cuntservative piece of shit just wants the Federal government to collapse.
My guess (assuming he has any sort of plan at all)? Tax farming, Roman style.
Private tax collection companies bid for government contracts based on how much money they think they can extract from the populace. Any amount they manage to collect above that they keep as profit.
But why? What's wrong with the department of energy? We'd no longer be able to subsidize energy creation, we'd literally be paying 20x more for power for no reason. And these power agencies would have no reason to operate power grids or maintain them. The bill would default back to the US, because no one could afford electricity anymore.
And what's with the threat? How does someone weaponize the IRS against wokeness? How?! Is an IRS agent going to throw an excel spreadsheet at me if I wear a rainbow? What a moron thing to say.
"We don't need a Department of Energy, we already make energy!"
He's a fucking moron, like every other cuntservative.
Eliminate tax benefits for non male/female couples. He didn’t say that, but that would be a way.
The department of energy oversees the nukes.
Nothing says "Small government" like banning drag shows, banning books, banning certain subjects from being taught in college (CRT and black history), telling women what they can and cannot do with their own bodies, going after Disney because they opposed your anti gay bills, etc....
