There is little daylight between Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump, but the same can’t be said about the state’s Chief Executive and the leaders of the Senate and House.
“We’ve got to make sure that we are working hand in hand with the Trump administration,” DeSantis said Wednesday.
During DeSantis’ A Block appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” he employed his familiar national bully pulpit and yet again reminded Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez of who really sets the agenda in Tallahassee, amid their lack of enthusiasm for a Special Session starting Monday that addresses illegal immigration.
As he has previously, the Governor pilloried the legislative leaders’ claim that a Special Session next week is “premature,” especially given he “spoke to the President” and knew that executive orders Trump released this week “were coming.”
“We’ve been waiting four years to be able to have a partner in Washington DC on this issue. We have a sense of urgency. We’ve got to get the job done, no more dragging your feet. Let’s do it, and this will be what the the people of Florida sent us here to do,” DeSantis declaimed.
“Imagine having to explain to a Republican voter if you’re a member of the Florida legislature, ‘Oh, you don’t want to help with this?’ How we can just wait and do it months from now? Nobody is going to accept that. Our folks want action now,” DeSantis added. “We’ve got the momentum, we’ve got to get it done.”
DeSantis also lauded Trump’s deployment of 1,500 troops to the southern border, calling it a “great start” from the administration in correcting four years of non-enforcement by the Democratic White House, and predicting “the problem is going to be put to bed once and for all.”
“The Pentagon and the people in the brass need to recognize that under Donald Trump, the military’s mission is not just simply to be halfway around the world defending borders, but actually to defend our own borders. And designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations is absolutely the right thing to do. And you are going to see this operate as not just a law enforcement issue, but as a military issue,” DeSantis asserted.

Good evening Florida,
What this looks like is that Senate President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez have abondoned their duty to:
1.) GOD
2.) FLORIDA
3.) AMERICA
4.) AND THEIR WIVES
By turning “HomerTestical” and abandoning everything thst is good and right.
I, Earl Pitts American, suggest we impeach both President Ben Albritton and House Speaker Daniel Perez before their “Disgusting “Homer Testicalism” goes any further and makes THE GREAT STATE of FLORIDA the laughing stock of Our Great Nation.
Thank you America,
Earl Pitts American

I’m happy that there are people and even republicans that have a back bone and might not rubber stamp everything DeSantis wants.

Why do people wonder why politicians and CEOs are potentially facing the consequences of being “United Healthcared,” with figures like Shitts and the rest of the red-right hate brigade leading the charge? You have sown the seeds and are now reaping the weeds of the field.

I should say I’m surprised that a delusional leftwing activist would justify or otherwise condone murder to achieve a political or social-justice end, but I’m not. It’s a just another tactic out of the neo-Marxist playbook.

“Trump said that “we’ll have to see” whether leaders of the right-wing extremist groups that staged some of the most violent attacks on Jan. 6 deserve a place in the national political conversation.” (WaPo online today)
FOP finally expressed their negative view.
Dee was concerned that former felons in Florida would vote Democratic, so he has thrown up hurdles to their voting. But now among the former felons will be some 140 or more MAGAs who Trump will consider recruiting for partisan advantage.

Ben Albritton is an upstanding public servant. It just seems the days of the Florida Legislature’s kowtowing to every DeSantis whim are
over.

Senate President Ben Albritton is a RINO who needs to resign or be summarily purged from his high office. He will pay a very high price for his failed leadership.

Every Trump voter today is a RINO, Lil Suzy. The party you once knew was euthanized by MAGA, and it’s all failed leadership for RepubliQans now.

Benny is if you support Florida’s biggest polluter — Big Sugar? Our beloved Governor already had to veto one of his last-minute measures in and on behalf of Big Sugar. Governor DeSantis will do so again, if need be.

Is there any truth to the story that DeSantis has ordered five more boxes of veto pens imprinted “Ben and Dan”?
SuzyQ

Unfortunately, their constituents are going to pay a very high price for their failed leadership by way of line-item vetoes. They should both consider a change in party affiliation, for their days in the Republican Party are numbered.

No, the Governor has that fetish, as do the Republican super majority in the Florida Congress. It must run hand in hand with the deviance of the former Mom’s for Liberty founder and FL RNC chairperson.

SuzyQ, ever the sharp-eyed scholar. You’ve caught me and how careless of me to elevate our dear Florida Legislature to the lofty ranks of a Congress.
Rest assured, I am indeed Floridian, though I occasionally slip into the vernacular of those who presume a touch more grandeur. But do carry on; your penchant for pedantry is positively charming.

Polling suggests otherwise to the extent that modem polling is sufficiently credible. Governor DeSantis remains the most popular political figure in the Sunshine State and speak for yourself.
