  1. DeSantis has lambasted Big Tech’s heavy-handed censorship and political/opinion manipulation in the past and I’ve been curious to find out just what a governor could do at the state level. What he lays out sounds mighty good to me. Of course, he’ll spend a lot of time in court but that’s inevitable. Go for it, Ron!

  2. @AC AT 9:08 PM — CTH was deplatformed quite some time ago, but sundance and co. knew it was coming, had a plan in place, and they never missed more than a few hours. All content from the old site has been successfully tranferred to a new distributed setup. It was quite an astonishing feat given the size and complexity of the work and the very short time in which they accomplished it.

  3. @Brad — Yes, CTH does indeed do some censoring. However, they have very well spelled out commenting guidelines / standards and that include telling people explicitly what sort of comments aren’t welcome. There’s no guessing about what not to post.

  4. Al, So does Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. But yet we complain. Or move on. I rarely comment on CTH. And have never been band. But I have read their rules and regulations. They are not exactly GAB.

  5. Brad, i remember when the RS did its own massive sensoring, you and i were both banned there for knocking cruz and promoting Trump. So here the little weasel closes with “He’s got all of the good qualities of Trump but isn’t juvenile or rough around the edges”. How much did that ass hate Trump? DeSantis has some qualities, but if he took half the pressure Trump took, or even a tenth, he’d fold like a cheap deck of right scoop.

  6. Sorry guys, but are you being a bit short sighted… The real conservative with the just get it done attitude, and the non threatening attitudes is Kristi Noem of South Dakota. And she won’t get pushed around.

  7. As a Florida resident, I want to keep DeSantis for a second term. Our next gubernatorial election is going to be a white-knuckle ride and I’m not interested in the illegals that will be swarming over the border as well as the transplants from blue states flipping this state blue.

    As unlikely as it would be, should secession end up being the only alternative, DeSantis might just be on board with it. So we’ll keep him.

    Will there ever be another election held anywhere in the nation that could be termed legitimate? Biden has a pen and the people that can tell him which end to apply to the paper so that remains to be seen.
