No surprise there – he was one of the state AGs to sign on to Texas’ lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Gerogia, Wisconson, and Michigan. You know, the one rejected by SCOTUS as a “seditious abuse of the judicial process.”
I intend to bring this up when he campaigns for reelection next year.
From Covid Breaking news thread:
Whack-a-Mole
This is scary and weird (inasmuch as you would not think a lack of oxygen could happen on this planet):
Apparently Ron DeSantis thinks everything in Florida is just hunky-dory. This story is all over the interwebs, but Vanity Fair had the best headline:
As you’ve probably heard by now, one of the places you should avoid visiting if you want to avoid contracting COVID, being hospitalized with the disease, and potentially dying a miserable death, is Florida. That, of course, is thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis, who’s done everything in his power to let the disease ravage the state, from banning mask mandates and vaccine passports to threatening to withhold pay from school districts who decide to protect small children.
Never the model of pandemic responsiveness, Florida is now recording, per The New York Times, an average of 23,314 new cases a day over the weekend—a 30% increase from its peak in January—while hospitalizations have nearly tripled in the last month, causing the mayor of Orlando to request that residents conserve water in order to curb the strain on the city’s supply of liquid oxygen, which is needed to treat COVID-19 patients. As for deaths, 227 are being reported daily, which The New York Time s notes is “by far the most in the United States right now.”
Given those grim stats, you might think that DeSantis would pause, reflect, and consider that he’s not actually doing a great job here. But you would think wrong! Instead, the Republican governor believes that not only is he doing a bang-up job, but that Joe Biden should take a page from his pandemic playbook. Yes, really!
…“We’re absolutely going to stand in Biden’s way if he’s trying to bring his destructive policies to Florida, if he’s trying to have the federal government take away parents’ rights in terms of their schoolchildren…he said he was going to end COVID, he hasn’t done that,” DeSantis told [FOX News’ Jesse] Watters with a straight face.
…
My only objection to that article is that its title romanticizes DeSantis (as “Angel of Death”).
I’d suggest, instead, “Grubby Little Sub-Demon of Death.”
I’ll bet other “Grubby Little Sub-Demons of Death" want nothing to do with him.

Would Ron “Now I am become” De “ath, destroyer of worlds” Santis be too unwieldy?

Yes. Insult to Slayer!
But I’m not sure of the resources either. 68 hospitals combined have 48 hours of oxygen? Separately? Or turned on full?
DeSantis is right, y’know. If Biden would follow his lead, then everyone with COVID would just die already and the pandemic would be over.
Here’s a stupid idea from a republican.
Ya mean like this?
…
One week after finally regaining enough members to conduct business, the Texas House slogged through a 12-hour floor debate before signing off on a slightly revised version of the Republican legislation that first prompted Democrats to stage a nearly six-week absence from the Capitol. The late night 79-37 vote on Senate Bill 1 moves the state closer to enacting new voting restrictions, including limits on early voting hours and other measures opponents say will raise new barriers for marginalized voters, especially voters of color, who tend to vote Democratic, and those with disabilities.
…
My bold.
Ok. Sure. 
Well, yeah, but some non-zero number of non-minorities will be affected as well, so you cannot call it “racist” unless only minorities are affected.
“They’re hurting the wrong people!”
There are fair-skinned people such as can be called n’-lovers, and though they may be small in number, by their skin tone, they are technically not minorities.
You misspelled race-traitor,
Some days it hurts to be a Texan…
A Texas law banning abortion at six weeks is set to go into effect in just a few days. And while the ban will make it nearly impossible for women to get abortions in the state, the six-week ban — abortion opponents’ garden-variety tactic of late — is not the most concerning part.
What makes this Texas statute particularly troubling is that it deputizes private citizens to actively seek out and sue people “aiding or abetting” women who are attempting to get abortions in the state of Texas. If you successfully sue that person — whether it’s an abortion provider, a pregnant woman’s friend, or even the rideshare driver who dropped her off at a clinic — you receive a $10,000 bounty.
“It’s baked-in prize money,” said Kristin Ford, the acting vice president of communications and research at NARAL Pro-Choice America.
S.B. 8 becomes law on Sept. 1, but a lawsuit filed by a coalition of abortion advocates and providers could prevent the extreme legislation from being enacted. Plaintiffs including the Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood Federation of America filed the Whole Woman’s Health v. Jackson lawsuit in mid-July, but a judge on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has yet to hand down a ruling even though the law is set to take effect in just a few days.
…
Not quite a done deal yet.
That sickens me. 
It is disgusting.
Time to start a ‘COVID aborts pregnancy’ meme and watch the heads of these jerks start exploding.
Actually, how does COVID affect pregnancy?
