Ya’ll probably remember reading about the Florida Circuit Judge who denied a 17 year old girl her right to obtain an abortion ruling that “she failed to demonstrate the maturity and intelligence to make that decision.”
Well, thankfully he was turned out of office in August of this year, but, not so thankfully, kicked up to a higher court by Governor DeSantis shortly thereafter.
Way to respect the will of the voters, Ron:
Florida voters ousted Judge Jared Smith from office after he refused to let a minor terminate her pregnancy, deeming her too immature to get an abortion.
In response, Ron DeSantis just appointed Smith to an even higher court. https://t.co/V5bdWMnqNw https://t.co/cIwsYteHjS

Another Ron, my favorite Ron Filipowski noted Mark’s tweet and submitted it for comment to his followers…
Since being elected, DeSantis has put on a masterclass in how to circumvent the will of the people.

Yup
Much like Twitter 2.0, not all votes count.

In both cases only one vote counts.
Desantis is our next Constitutional crisis. Full stop.

Yup
Also – yet another example of how our votes are irrelevant here in Florida when you add
Removal of elected SA Andrew Warren
And
Overwhelming approval of ex felon voter registration by 64% of voters that he took to court TWICE to overturn

Exactly
Florida has become the Ford Pinto of states.

It’s pretty clear that every Republican state legislator in Florida is absolutely terrified of Ron DeSantis. With just a tweet or a word against them, he can end their career and bring terror to them. Sound like another Florida resident who we know and loathe? pic.twitter.com/PGA30h7s8A

Please keep him in Florida. Come ‘24, please don’t spread the pain to the rest of the country.

Desantistan? Wasn’t that part of the plot line in The Santa Claus 2?

Too young to have an abortion, but old enough to have a baby and be a good mother.
“Mom” is 17. I wonder how old “dad” is? Hmmm.
Far too many guys in their 20s and 30s impregnating teens. Maybe these evangelicals might want to address that issue!

Yup
DeSantis becoming president won't make Florida less of a failed state – it will simply add 49 others to the list.

Further down the thread Republicans are crowing about DeSantis “big” electoral win last month.
But this commenter knows what’s up.
Around 40% of voting-age Floridians voted last month.

Turns out arresting voters of color who vote was a very effective voter suppression move.
We need to protect the vote to turn out all of these fascist clowns.
and yet the idiot voters of the state continue to support the horse’s ass. Nothing says population of morons more than that.
What’s the fuss? He is the law in Florida. The Law. Think about that. Of course he has violated some laws but the law doesn’t police itself. So on it goes. Equal treatment under the law. Sure. Curious how our culture has allowed the institutions of church and state to be run by liars, killers, and hypocrites. Good times all around. No worries. We have 300 million guns on the streets put there by lawmakers to protect us from the commies, the black and gay folks. Let us pray.
RW do the RIGGING in their Government! Democrats follow the Constitutional Law, while the RW continue to be ANTI-Amerikan & follow their own, CORRUPTED Ideology!
Well, fascism remains alive and well in Florida. With the national crisis still hanging in the balance, and Florida voters validating so much of the issue with their stupidity at the voting booths, we can only pray that the worst of what happens in Florida STAYS in Florida.
It doesn’t and it won’t. Oh and the fascist is all bluster until mother nature kicks his ass then he sucks dick for cash. Another gop whore. My apology to the oldest profession in the world other than killing. There are good people on both sides.
