You're point might make some sense if you were making this comment when he actually is to blame.

Instead, your responding to a poster who just threw out a wild accusation with nothing to back it up.  It seems you're kinda proving DeSantis point.

 

 

I guess in the era of Trump you might confused as to what an accusation is as compared to a question about things unknown.  Or maybe you know that DeSantis had nothing to do with that bit of deception. I know it's a waste of time to ask you to explain your acerbic comments so I'll just point out that you are clearly mistaken about a wild accusation from me.  It seems like an intentional misrepresentation of my words.  Again.

No, I have it correct. 

But, I'm not really interested in debating it.  You seem to be trying to argue that Biden is more fossil fuel industry friendly than Trump or that a President DeSantis would be.  We all know that's not the case.

 

It's a shame that you aren't interested in debate.  That's ever so much more entertaining and enjoyable that snarky and generalized comments that are based in partisan beliefs rather than facts or evidence.

No one is arguing that Biden is fossil fuel friendly, we're simply correcting your misrepresentation of the facts surrounding the issue.  Maybe we could discuss this using facts and evidence and historical context.

My point is that DeSantis will not give a straight answer, he will dodge questions, and then turn it around to show he is being attacked. 

"Governor, will you condemn  Nazi demonstrators?"

"There is no place for the ugliness displayed by those hate groups." 

See, that's not so hard, is it?

I stated the reason why drilling permit approvals were up.   It's the same defense the Biden administration gives to the environmentalists.  Usually, I'm not usually inclined to defend him.  In fact, I expected one of you to give the same explanation.  If there is another reason,  show me. I won't be surprised that instead he's breaking a campaign promise.

Muno simply said I have it wrong, with no source (as usual).  And you just threw out a bunch of links to sift through.  Again, show me where I'm wrong.  Or don't.  I don't care, and am moving on.

No, not hard.  But if he doesn't want to bend over everytime a dumb reporter asked if he wants to condemn this or that group of knuckleheads, I get that to.

In the end, it mattered to no one what he said.  It just gave his haters something to whine about.

You're right.  We should question about things unknown.

I wonder which of the Democrat candidates for governor would most benefit from the poor residents of the public housing complex having their registration changed?  They now can't vote in the Democrat primary.  It seems that candidate would have more to gain than DeSantis.  I'm not even sure how DeSantis would benefit.   And, we know Democrats actually have a history of posing as misbehaving Republicans, don't we?

Most definitely Biden is less fossil fuel industry friendly than Trump was.  Biden is following, or at least giving lip service to the alternative fuel industry.  It's the backbone of progressive and Democrat policy.

 On the right when he makes a move towards alternative energy it's criticized.  See prior link of 25 reasons.....

On the other left side when he make a move pro-fossil fuel it's criticized.

Don't Trump supporters criticize Biden for not bending over every time a dumb reporter asks a silly question? It does matter what politicians say, IMHO.

Are you questioning the wisdom of the republicans who organized and executed this effort to deceive elderly citizens? Are you spinning a conspiracy theory? 

Maybe you didn't read the article.

Not that I'm aware of.  

But, maybe DeSantis should just do a Biden...."I'm not supposed to be taking these questions", and then shuffle away.

Just questioning what is unknown.  You first threw out that DeSantis might be involved.  How would he or the Republicans benefit? 

My theory actually makes more sense.

No, he plays the Biden playbook of just having press conferences or answering calls for long periods of time.  He's also walked out on a press conference or two.
