What's more elite than going to Harvard and Yale?

But he's an outsider, just ask him.

Desantis reporting from SF: “I’ve seen so much riff-raff just running around.”

Posted: **Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:04 pm**

A lot more mirrors than he's used to seeing.

Posted: **Tue Jun 20, 2023 8:14 pm**

Well, he's there, isn't he?

Posted: **Tue Jun 20, 2023 9:06 pm**

Doesn't he have state to run? What is with all these vacations around the country and world?

Posted: **Tue Jun 20, 2023 11:55 pm**

I doubt very much he's seen anything beyond the inside of a limo and the mini bar in a suite.

I like this comment on the original tweet -

Hey... Maybe DeSantis is in California because he doesn't feel safe in Florida. Who can blame him?

Posted: **Wed Jun 21, 2023 2:16 am**

Has he looked at his people lately? Riff raff live everywhere.

Posted: **Wed Jun 21, 2023 5:01 am**

Just a dumb question, I don't really pay attention, don't want to spread rumors and it really doesn't matter to me.

Is Ron DeSantis gay?

Posted: **Wed Jun 21, 2023 5:06 am**

He’s married to a woman, so, if gay, not out of the closet at this point.

Edited to add, if you’re asking if he’s cheerful, I don’t think so.

Either way, I don’t care either.

That's why his recent visit was to California, to check if he can drop off some of them there into the hands of a Democratic governor

There are several cities in Florida where you have a significantly higher chance of being the victim of a violent crime than anywhere in Chicago or San Francisco or many of the other boogie man cities Republicans shout about.

Well that's convenient.

Donor lent DeSantis golf simulator for governor’s mansion: report

A wealthy donor provided Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) with a golf simulator for the governor’s mansion as well as private flights to fundraisers, according to a Washington Post investigation.

Mori Hosseini, the chair of the University of Florida board of trustees, lent a golf simulator system to DeSantis to be installed in the governor mansion gym, accessible only to the governor and his family. Models of the simulator range from $27,000 to nearly $70,000, the Post reported.

Since 2021, DeSantis-supporting PACs have reported more than 50 in-kind transportation donations believed to be private jet flights, the Post found. Specific travel records of his time as governor can no longer be acquired via public records after DeSantis signed a law making them private last month.

Educational standards? Who needs those?

DeSantis announces lawsuit against Biden admin, Dept of Education over college accreditation

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday announced a lawsuit against the Biden administration and the U.S. Department of Education over the college accreditation process while speaking at Hillsborough Community College.

The lawsuit takes aim at college accreditation agencies, which DeSantis claims are unconstitutionally trumping Florida policies.

“You cannot take legislative power and delegate it to an unaccountable private body,” DeSantis said.

The state is asking the court to find the current accreditation requirements unconstitutional and permanently block their enforcement.

I was under the impression that accreditation was a voluntary but government privileged scheme -- i.e., you can run an unaccredited school, but you can't get federal dollars and you have no guarantee that other schools will consider your graduates' degrees worth a damn.

But nothing forces you to be accredited.

Am I wrong here?

No, you're exactly correct. Accreditation is voluntary and you usually have more than one choice but to get Federal dollars you have to have something.

Without any standards, we'll be giving Pell Grant money to Trump University and any number of Zero Down Real Estate Seminars and such. Meatball Ron want's to turn Florida into the finest education you can get for the late Bronze Age but still score that sweet Deep State Socialism cash.

At the Faith & Freedom Conference today, Desantis goes after Trump for criticizing his War on Disney, and gets mostly silence and some boos. Not sure if they are booing Trump or Desantis.

As I understand it, you are correct. Accreditation carries no legal weight, there is no requirement to have it in order to have students. But it probably impacts your access to certain kinds of funds and makes your school more attractive to students (and potentially their loan backers).

Florida is notorious for its unaccredited schools, it is big business down there. So I suspect someone from that community is pushing for this in the hopes that they can claim accreditation on their recruiting materials and bring in more suckers.

DeSantis explains how “woke” can make you poor and dumb

DeSantis: Don’t tell me it doesn’t affect people’s lives. I was just in San Francisco. In 20 minutes on the ground, I saw people defecating on the sidewalk. I saw people using Fentanyl.

Posted: **Fri Jun 23, 2023 2:00 pm**

And he would know they were using Fentanyl, how?
