Still not clear on this...I guess he’s embodying “Florida man?”

Florida's gov desantis issued his executive order about safer at home. It was different than what he said it would have in it, in some ways and wasn't specific enough in others. Lots of confusion from cities and counties. Lots of questions. So he created a second one that...he talks about but hasn't posted or sent yet.

And as far as the religious exemptions he included in there, he said that he wants people to congregate for Easter ... and that he doesn't think government can regulate religious institutions.

Ummmm. They're business where people go in groups greater than 10, right?

Why? Just why?

Oh the irony.

"Senator" Ron Johnson believes they economy should re-open because this is no worse than the flu. And besides, he says, "death is an unavoidable part of life"

And this appears on his official government website. Tone deaf? Or just following orders from Republican Jesus (TM)?

Let this sink in.

"Roughly 280 million masks in warehouses around the U.S. were purchased by foreign buyers on Monday alone, according to Forbes. A FEMA spokesperson said the agency 'has not actively encouraged or discouraged U.S. companies from exporting overseas'."

And now mike pence says he'll stop. Because he got caught I suppose.

Do you see it yet? Trump does not care about you. It's all about him. He's inept and should be removed from office immediately.

MLB season likely to start without fans in quest for most games

I saw this and thought "hey, every team is going to emulate what the marlins have been doing for two decades!"

Way to go Moes!

My thoughts on the confusion that comes from those in power

You may not want to hear it, but make no mistake: this is a Trump problem. He is bumbling his way through this crisis, with no thought or regard to the spread of the virus, nor the deaths that result.

He's sent many conflicting messages, most of which focus on the stock market, the success of the wealthy, and his own re-election.  He didn't take it seriously until it was too late (to wit, he called it a "hoax" and was dismissive of it early on), and claims he is in no way responsible for... anything.  Yet, he was the one who neutered most science organizations and research, and dismantled the office established specifically to combat a pandemic.

And then there's Desantis, Florida's governor, who can't get out of his own way. He waited far too long to close beaches (and never did!) and declare a state of emergency.  And currently is acting as indecisive as you can imagine, making contradictory statements - sometimes on the same day.  I see two issues here: he's trying his best to protect Florida's tourism at the expense of the long term health of it, and he wants to appease the Trump (one would assume that this is because Trump has made clear he wants people to laud him or he will withhold aid, though of course it could be that he’s a fanboy and wants to appease the nincompotus).

This is a time for action, and for solid leadership. They are failing us on all counts.

More on the turds in office.

The party of no, the one that is so pro life, the one that promotes gun violence as a solution for everything, the one that can't really be bothered to try and help Americans dying from this virus, is at it again.

There's a cruise ship that was off the coast of Chile. Cases of the virus were reported on board among passengers and crew. Chile denied them access to the port.

They anchored while looking for another port. More cases. Some deaths.

They finally got port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale to agree to let the ship dock, subject to a number of rules, and that the owner of the line would pay for any expenses.

People in the area objected, but they pressed ahead.

Then the Panama Canal Zone said no. Can't pass through. More days pass. More people get sick.

Finally Panama agreed to allow the ship to pass "for humanitarian reasons" and it either has gone through, or will soon.

In any case, the city and port started putting up new rules for the ship to dock.

And then the governor. A trump loving republican. Decided the ship can't come to Florida because we can't have other people coming here.

Some are Americans. Some are sick. Regardless, there are dead and dying on board.

And the party of pro life says "nah. We don't want you here. Good luck"

Again. Why does anyone believe a single word they espouse?

Though I'm sure Republican Jesus (TM) would probably approve.
