Florida judge has ruled Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Stop WOKE Act” unconstitutional less than two months after the law went into effect. U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida Judge Mark Walker’s 44-page ruling states that the law, which restricts race-based conversation in workplaces and schools, violates the First and 14th amendments. The law is officially blocked and no longer in effect—even during the state’s anticipated appeal.

DeSantis is a joke. These guys get it.
 
So many of DeSantis' mandates have been struck down by the courts but it never gets the attention his edicts do in the first place.

Which is, of course, the point.

Like his voter fraud charges. They ain't never goin' anywhere, but the point was the splash he got by making them.
 
I'm sure there will be some more actions struck down in court. DeSantis would be a horrible president. He'd obviously abuse power. The little dicktater from FL is busy pushing everyone around and making stupid decisions in his own state.

Personally, I don't think he stands a chance. Ted Cruz is more charismatic than DeSantis. Gawd, did any one see his Top Gun spoof?

 
This is better than the Dukakis tank thing.

He looks like Corky Thatcher.

Whoever runs ads against him could subliminally place that photo throughout. He'd lose horribly.

And typically, I don't care about certain physical characteristics, but he's only 5'9". Even fake 6'3" Trump (who's more like 5'11' or 6') would make him look like a wee lad. I only make fun because DeSantis called 5'7" Fauci an elf.

Was considering writing the same thing. People still fall for jokes.
 
 
The rhetoric is certainly puzzling. Florida Repubs like DeSantis keep harping on "small government" and "freedom" but DeSantis is hell bent on making choices for Floridians.
His "small government of freedom" now decides if or when one can have an abortion, whether or not they can have medical marijuana, what books kids can read, regulating gender preferences, and what parts of our history can be taught and all that is just for starters. So while DeSantis and his admirers sport innumerable "Don't Tread On Me" flags, it sure sounds like Floridians are being tread upon wholesale while DeSantis promises even more in the future.
 
Let’s see how this plays out on appeal.
 
Isnt that the whole point of states rights? To empower the governors, the sheriffs, and local corruption. To me its just neo confederate people who actually value freedom dont care about arbitrarily drawn lines.
 
Scumbag pedo-groomers everywhere cheer that they can go back to targeting children for now.

Keep watching those popularity polls in Florida and then ask how many other states are sick and tired of WOKE ideology along with school administrators threatening to spread CRT garbage into our grade schools.
DeSantis is a winner and those who profess WOKE ideas are going to lose in every red and purple state.
Why do you think Youngkin won the governorship in VA? Or have you forgotten so soon?
 
Strangler,
What really matters here is whether Floridians are going to want him for a second term as governor. Is there any doubt that is going to happen?
And if DeSantis wins in November, don't you think other GOP governors and those in purple states are going to follow his lead?
Remember why Glenn Youngkin won the governorship in VA.
 
Woke is a cop-out word for people who dont want to discuss the issues but rather use labels to impose their authoritarian ways. Woke off!

Tell me, why is it important to discuss issues like CRT, or LGBTQ+ dogma?
What does it gain the American people to be bombarded by such Progressive drivel when there are so many other issues bedeviling the average American citizen?

I am not copping out from discussing Progressive issues. I just think people want (and need) to spend their time dealing with actual issues like the economy, drug plagues like fentanyl, inflation, Covid, crime in the cities, and holding politicians accountable for failing to control immigration.
All of that other Progressive BS keeps us from acting on those issues that are really important.
 
Excuse me? The only people going on about these supposed issues is the right!

Because you live in America's hat, you are excused.
The Right is reacting to the Progressives continuing push of CRT in our schools and the relentless push of schools to promote transgender identification of you students.

OK.....if you say so. Let's see where things go with real issues like abortion not made up sh!t
 
Republicans are no longer "small government." They are "small liberal government," "big oppressive Christian government."
