That answers MDs question doesn't it? I'm wondering which politician our resident liberal republican hates more... Desantis or King Andy? I know the disappointment among many of you liberal folks is intense. You all had your heads stuck so far up King Andy's arse that you couldn't smell the stink.
No, actually I continue to object to both the slur and to the suggestion that Chris shouldn't continue at CNN. See my response above.
As to the question about Desantis and Cuomo, for once, Petey's right, though not why he states. (and "hates" would be inaccurate for either)
Cuomo's going to get tossed by his own party for actions for which, IMO, he indeed deserves to be forced out of office. The Dems are actually being consistent with their principles on this one.
That's why it won't matter further, once done.
Desantis, however, will continue to be Desantis and get fawning support from people like Petey. (Which for me, tells me all I really need to know!)
He'll continue to cost lives. He'll continue to be an authoritarian who wraps himself in faux patriotism.
And so, he'll continue to be a threat to democracy, if he indeed gains a leadership role in the GOP as he's being positioned to do. The GOP is in death rattle stage, but fully capable of doing extreme damage as they go down...as they refuse to go down without a "fight". And a guy like Desantis is fully capable of being a far more competent fascist than Trump.
So, Desantis will continue to matter.
Now, Desantis might surprise me and reform himself, reject the angry, white supremacist, anti-science far right and simply be a competent, conservative leaning Governor...if so, I'll embrace that change...I'll "be for Missouri" the "show me state" but I'll give him that chance...but right now he's tacking really hard the other way.
