Showing Original Post only (View all)Is DeSantis already screwing up his emergency response? [View all]
I'm not hopeful this yahoo is going to develop a soul between now and in the morning. So far he hasn't put a booted foot in his mouth. I hope I'm not alone in thinking he should just step aside and let the experts handle this.
He's not reassessing. He's unable to communicate comfort. He clearly doesn't understand the weather or shifting tides, literally or figuratively.
So what's the over/under? Will Idalia end his weak attempt at trying to look presidential? Or will he provide the leadership and reassurance the citizens of Florida, who will no doubt be in a world of hurt soon, deserve?
What say ye, DU?

Vivek is a total mess. Did you see his interview with Andrea Mitchell?

Yep, I'm waiting for those boots to reappear. They sell them from the cheap bin at Lowe's.

I think you're right times a zillion, Skittles. He's going to make things much worse.

And the manner of death is comparable. Covid makes you literally drown in your own secretions.
