Separate from the article, he’s also refusing to extend voter registration deadlines because of the storm unlike South Carolina. Today is still unfortunately Florida’s voter registration deadline, make sure to register: https://vote.gov/register
This moment for De Santis will go down in history, I think he will largely be remembered for this single horrific moment as Milton slots into the breach, the US will at a national level be a meaningfully different place by the end of the week it is going to be so bad for Florida and elsewhere.
This youtube weather channel has good coverage on the quickly worsening situation with a possible cat 5 milton.

“worst case scenario” keeps coming up as a phrase
… lastly, the end of Ron Desantis’s political career from space
Ted Cruise fled to Cancun during the widespread power outages, and DeSantis refused phone calls with help for his state on the line.
there is literally no lower rung on the ladder of “loser” than “pathetic mass murderer”
Ryan Hall can be very entertaining but there are much better and professional sources of information out there. My favorite is Tropical Tidbits (https://youtube.com/@tropical-tidbits)
Really appreciate Dr. Levi.
Dr. Levi Cowan is my favorite source of storm information presented in a factual and level-headed manner. I whole-heartedly endorse Tropical Tidbits. I do not endorse Ron DeSantis.
good to know thank you for linking
Yup. Tampa Bay is looking at a major disaster on Wednesday and DeSatans is playing politics with it.
Let’s see if they can fuck up florida so badly it goes blue in a month.
Nah all the usual outlets will just spend the next month blaming Biden and every clown will believe it.
What a sad and pathetic excuse for a human being ronnie is.
Committing neglectful manslaughter to own the libs.
and no one bats an eye
Plenty of people are upset, just not most of the people who can vote this guy out. The wealthy and powerful have their feet on the necks of the people… And half of those people are asking for more weight, having bought the lie that this is all for the greater good.
Despite the overwhelming tsunami of evidence available to them 24/7.
Yeah. Propaganda’s a bitch.
tsunami
Oh, no, I thought it was just a hurricane!
It’ll work
He’s a ghoul and was running out of dead children to eat.
GQP: Smaller Gub’ment!
Also GQP: Gimmie!
But also also GQP: Just coz I said gimmie duznt mean I’m takin handouts from the LIBS!
At least the libs are offering help, which we know from the recently unsealed documents that Trump would not be doing for states that didn’t vote for him.
Almost like one party runs a government and the other party runs a mob
One wants to run a government, the other wants to prove government doesn’t run; it’s their whole platform.
Good comment on the wrong thread. This is specifically an instance of Don’t Gimme.
You a bot, by any chance?
So you think Florida republiQans will NOT ask for financial assistance - disaster aid - because Ron DeSantis snubbed the VP?
I’d bet they will, at which point that comment would be fitting.
Desantis is the strongest coward at the white leather boots with lifts store. Fucking loser.
I say we sue Greece for the sum total of damages from Hurricane Helene. It’s clearly their fault.
Sounds like Biden just needs to declare martial law and take over the state if the local dumbass won’t cooperate. Biden has a duty to protect citizens from tyranny.
Such a whiny little bitch.
stick his midget ass out in the gulf path of milton and see if he changes his tune
This storm is a freaking monster. Pressure went below 900mb a few minutes ago.
What a weird little bitch.
“seemed political" but at the same time, refuses to take the call.
How do you know the call is political if you refuse to take it?
After all, she’s the vice president, not just a political candidate. Organizations like FEMA are part of the executive branch. Your state is and is about to be a disaster site (again). Just pick up the phone, dude.
He’s also not spoken to the president either who has attempted to call as well. Biden is not even running for president anymore
Guess he doesn’t want the help then!
There is literally no political downside for him. He scores points with the deplorables by ignoring the federal government, and he knows the Dems would never refuse to send aid so he doesn’t have to ask for it. Also he can’t run for re-election and he got trounced for the GOP ticket by failing to out-Trump Trump, so there’s literally nothing on the line for him by being a petty little dick.
He wants to say “They didn’t help us” later much more than he wants help now.
Well, see… The president he supports withholds funding unless the municipalities affected by disasters pass a purity test, so he assumes the president he doesn’t support will as well.

We keep getting told that she’s just the VP and has no power. Why would he then take a call from her?
He’s also refusing to meet with Biden. This is about politics for DeSantis, so that he can complain that Biden and Harris aren’t doing their jobs.
Yeah why talk to the person one heartbeat away from the presidency?
🤡
I’m not the one that kept demanding Harris, as VP, is powerless against what Biden was doing. She’s still not in that position of power and is acting on behalf of the President?
I doubt the VP and President disagree all that much about “we should give hurricane victims aid”. The president can informally ask the VP to do simple tasks like “hey keep in touch with this governor and see if they need anything” when they think you’ll do what they’d do. The VP can’t act directly on things themselves
You also want to keep the person who might have to take over for the president at any moment to be in the loop at all times. You wouldn’t want them scrambling to get caught up in the off chance they had to take over for the president
Keep in mind he’s also refusing to meet with Biden
