    Florida is similar to a border state with all of the fentanyl coming in and the international flights it receives. Those immigration officers in FL have a TOUGH job.

    In the case I'm referring to, he wasn't trying to address that.

    Man is smart enough not to try and fail. Walking on tightropes and taming lions is doable if you set the right stage.

    Desantis should focus on the comparatively poor math scores from Florida students on the SAT. In 2019, Florida was one of 8 states where 100% of seniors took the SATs. They were last in mean math score. In 2020 they were one of 7 states with 100% participantion. They were last in mean math score. In 2021 81% took the SATs. A handful of states had a similar rate. Once again, Florida was last in mean math score.

    But let's focus on problems that don't exist.

    He is doing that, by removing woke distractions in math lessons which have nothing to do with math.

    What? That was the reason for coming in last in math scores? It was because students were messed up by woke distractions?

    Athiests have now asked the courts in Florida to ban the bible in schools because of it's age inappropriate bestiality, and rape, and the woke nature of Jesus.

    Right. Why didn't he do it last year, or the year before or the year before?

    ETA - and why didn't he specifically mention facts like that?

    I am very aware what it is. It's positives and negatives. I can understand the appeal i suppose in certain ways. Regardless it is a joke.

    It has resulted in some interesting art at least.

    I'm asking for your opinion like many people in the world do when discussing topics.

    His timing on doing these recent actions for issues that have mostly existed during or before his term as Governor and none of this stuff (in particular the "unfair" advantages Dusney has had for decades) were in his platform.

    So I assume then as a German you belong to the Libertarian Conservative Party of Reason then in Germany where their founder Oliver Janich, who is banned from social media, regularly spouts conspiracy theories like 9/11 truther theories, is a Qanon follower, and has said anti-Semitic slurs before??

    But of course you don't support "Malignant Dangerous Narcissists"... you just claim to be affiliated with parties that are led by people like Oliver Janich, and Donald Trump.

    By definition the founder of Libertarianism Ayn Rand was a Malignant Dangerous Narcissist. She's someone who defended the genocide of Native Americans for crying out loud. She's the original "greed is good" a$$hole of the world. She also .... as a libertarian.... spoke out AGAINST antidiscrimination legislation to protect people's FREEDOM to be gay or well... be black.

    Libertarianism isn't the government version of a utopia like the movie "The Beach." Even then in that fantasy life had some sort of rules even if the rules are to have no rules, and even then you just make things worse by shielding yourself from realities in order to benefit your own personal pleasure in the moment.

    As a species we are meant to have community and fairness. Don't believe me... go to a kindergarten class tomorrow. Go give every kid one cookie, and then give one kid 20 cookies. See what happens.

    Libertarianism is just a fantasy created to excuse being a greedy jerk, and even if it was a reality in theory the word "Conservative" is in direct conflict with the "anything goes" fantasy of Libertarianism.

    So respectfully.... I think you are full of it.

    Will you give him credit for vetoing it?
