Buffon?So they’ll get the university but not the Buffon of a governor that’s enabling all of it!?!? DeSantis praying UF doesn’t squeal like a pig on him or it’s not going to be pretty.
Buffon?
In a day and age where parents are investigated by the FBI for holding school boards accountable this is absolutely “worthy” of congressional investigation
This is correct, it’s all political and I’m not taking sides but the Democrats are a little late to the table. It’s time for all us Gators to close ranks and start supporting our university over a bunch of congressmen on some sub-committee. If you can’t see through this you’re not too smartSeems like an attempt from the Democrats to try to see if UF throws Desantis under the bus and throws dirt out there especially since DeSantis is a strong candidate for Vice President and even President for 2024 elections. There are more pressing needs for Congress to be focusing on like worst inflation in 30 yrs, rising gas prices, unemployment, national debt, crime, unemployment, economy, upcoming recession…
You gonna share any of what this is that’s going to come to light? You seem awfully in the know.As I’ve said, there is so much more going on beneath the surface. The story of the six professors is significant, especially considering that you have a university acting as and on behalf of the state to limit free speech. This should never happen and if you believe in this type of stuff then you believe in tyranny, not democracy. But there are other things happening that will be unearthed through this investigation.
That is not true. Original documents show that they were not allowed to testify because of the university’s relationship with the state. After it went public then the university made it about pay.The professors were told they couldn’t be paid experts using the state universities resources to provide expert testimony against the state of Florida. They could do it without utilizing school resources and couldn’t be paid for it. This is not controversial at all and it is within their contracts as professors. It is a politically motivated story cause anything anti desantis is on certain news sources.
If you want to protect the university then you should encourage our administrators to act with integrity. Approving a medical license for Ladapo in two days due to political pressure is not what this great university is nor should be about.This is correct, it’s all political and I’m not taking sides but the Democrats are a little late to the table. It’s time for all us Gators to close ranks and start supporting our university over a bunch of congressmen on some sub-committee. If you can’t see through this you’re not too smart
And if they were conservative professors you would have this same opinion ?As I’ve said, there is so much more going on beneath the surface. The story of the six professors is significant, especially considering that you have a university acting as and on behalf of the state to limit free speech. This should never happen and if you believe in this type of stuff then you believe in tyranny, not democracy. But there are other things happening that will be unearthed through this investigation.
And local law enforcement can’t handle it? The FBI has no business getting involved. Politics is why they are involved which is despicable.The FBI is not investigating parents for holding school boards accountable, they are investigating anyone that threatens violence against school board members.
Yes. Because I believe in free speech. I also believe that the university serves an important role in upholding this ideal.And if they were conservative professors you would have this same opinion ?
Chief? I thought he was an Admiral!Wow, that’s really amazing. Not what’s happening at the University but the fact that @Swamp_Thing was close to being right. That hardly ever happens.
Of course he’s a Navy chief so we have to make him believe that he’s right and that he actually runs the Navy 🙄🙄🙄
For enlightenment purposes, what facts?I also want to add that then professors in the case are highly esteemed in their respective fields. Students of all racial, economic, and political backgrounds take their courses and leave further informed. Despite what is commonly touted about the university and UF in particular, it is not some liberal playground of indoctrination. Facts bear that out.
It's just a way for someone who hates him to blame him for something else. The dude has done a ton to keep Florida steering on course through this disaster. Just one man's humble opinion....You think DeSantis is going to be taken down by the University of Florida not allowing a few professors to be paid for outside work? Not saying UF didn’t screw up here, but I doubt the Governor is concerned.
love the subtitles... 😂 Gotta be a law somewhere nowadays for this ridicule...A classic. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm late to the party and really don't know shit, but why in hell should UF pay them to go to DC and testify before congress? I run a business. Why would I pay an employee to go to DC and testify? Unless it had something to do with my business? Only liberal snowflakes have answers for that. They want to pay everyone for everything. My God, when does it stop? Small business people are getting hammered, by rules and regulations as it is.As I’ve said, there is so much more going on beneath the surface. The story of the six professors is significant, especially considering that you have a university acting as and on behalf of the state to limit free speech. This should never happen and if you believe in this type of stuff then you believe in tyranny, not democracy. But there are other things happening that will be unearthed through this investigation.
This is a difficult concept for some ppl to understand bc it’s easy to make assumptions and group everyone into a tiny little box if they have a different opinion than them.Yes. Because I believe in free speech. I also believe that the university serves an important role in upholding this ideal.
We are walking a tight rope in this country when we equate one party or better yet one leader with embodying the ideals of democracy. And yet I’m afraid that we have gone too far. Certain states are legalizing censorship and curtailing other important rights. I care about the welfare of my country and the sustainability of our republic.
Yes what you said is true in both senses. The professors were not allowed to use their time and school resources to testify against the state funding their salary and departments. What makes that any way controversial. If they want to become expert witnesses against state entities in Florida, maybe they shouldn’t be professors at the flagship university. This is not hard to comprehend. Stop letting the media craft some narrative that any of this is wrong.That is not true. Original documents show that they were not allowed to testify because of the university’s relationship with the state. After it went public then the university made it about pay.
Lmao….”reckless laws”. Now that is hilarious. Your op-ed was terrible but at least I got a chuckle out of it.This will not cause harm to DeSantis.
But DeSantis has one, maybe two huge obstacles.
1) The "former guy" is demanding fealty and endorsement from DeSantis for the 2024 Presidential election. Of course DeSantis is gunning for the job himself. So what happens if Trump endorses someone else in the 2022 Governors election? This would be Trump's opportunity to squash DeSantis well before 2024. Trump believes his support "made" DeSantis Governor with his endorsement in the 2018 election. And if he made him he can break him.
2) Covid. DeSantis' reckless laws regarding vaccine mandates (in my opinion and the opinion of the vast majority of practicing physicians, of which over 96% had been vaccinated by June https://www.ama-assn.org/press-cent...-96-doctors-fully-vaccinated-against-covid-19 ).
Example of what could happen. 60% of Floridians have been fully vaccinated. 60% of Austria has been fully vaccinated yet Austria is currently having a surge of the virus and the entire country is going on a national lock down for 10 days. I have read several medical articles that predict a large surge in Florida in late winter and early spring. Reasoning the old folks that were immunized 10 months or so, and the young people who had Covid last year, will both be losing their immunity unless the old folks get a booster and the young get vaccinated. 60k Floridians already dead from covid and still 100 dying every day. If this surge happens, it will be because our Governor decided to focus on his political ambitions and trash science.
Newsflash: "real" science is about as political as math. It is the based on the interpretation of data and then peer reviewed for accuracy. If it ends up being politics vs science, at the end of the day science will go undefeated.
#1 above is guaranteed to happen. If DeSantis does not come out and say if Trump runs he will not, Trump will endorse someone else in the Republican primary for Governor (see Georgia where Trump endorsed David Perdue over the current Republican Governor Brian Kemp). DeSantis vs a Trump acolyte for the Republican primary next year will be ugly and damage both brands.
I sincerely hope #2 does not happen...but as we know "hope" is not the best medical strategy.
So DeSantis has much bigger problems than the professors at UF.
These three professors are left wing trash and everyone knows it. One of the most notoriously outspoken law professors is involved. Someone that has worked for decades to basically rid the law school of any conservative speech. Get out of here with this take.I also want to add that then professors in the case are highly esteemed in their respective fields. Students of all racial, economic, and political backgrounds take their courses and leave further informed. Despite what is commonly touted about the university and UF in particular, it is not some liberal playground of indoctrination. Facts bear that out.
Give me time, I've still got at least 12 more years in me give our take a few months.Chief? I thought he was an Admiral!
Appreciate the comedy, this thread was getting a little to seriousThis will not cause harm to DeSantis.

Threats such as “we’re gonna throw you out of office”The FBI is not investigating parents for holding school boards accountable, they are investigating anyone that threatens violence against school board members.
That is untrue. They’re not left wing trash.These three professors are left wing trash and everyone knows it. One of the most notoriously outspoken law professors is involved. Someone that has worked for decades to basically rid the law school of any conservative speech. Get out of here with this take.
Lol this guy’s statement is part of the reason why their getting investigated to begin with. You cant willingly hide academic research because your opinion differs from pure facts all to reinforce your political stance. This isn’t Russia.That is untrue. They’re not left wing trash.
Did Fuchs shut down CRT classes?
Do you think the vaccines for mumps, measles and polio should be eliminated or would that be reckless? What's the difference?Lmao….”reckless laws”. Now that is hilarious. Your op-ed was terrible but at least I got a chuckle out of it.
You are right, this is hilarious!Appreciate the comedy, this thread was getting a little to serious
Of course I was kidding. I am a Mustang myself. I'm not familiar with what routes are available for you to pursue a commission but if the opportunity is there I highly recommend that you go for it.Give me time, I've still got at least 12 more years in me give our take a few months.
Already in progress.Of course I was kidding. I am a Mustang myself. I'm not familiar with what routes are available for you to pursue a commission but if the opportunity is there I highly recommend that you go for it.
Correct me, if I'm wrong, but vaccines for small pox, mumps, measles and polio PREVENT you from getting those diseases, right? The COVID vaccine doesn't do that. What gives?Do you think the vaccines for mumps, measles and polio should be eliminated or would that be reckless? What's the difference?
The difference is Covid is much worse than measles was in the pre vaccine era.
"In the decade before 1963 when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age. It is estimated 3 to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year. Also each year, among reported cases, an estimated 400 to 500 people died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000 suffered encephalitis (swelling of the brain) from measles."![]()
History of Measles
Learn the history of measles, from the pre-vaccine era to measles elimination.www.cdc.gov
According to Johns Hopkins 352,000 Americans died of Covid in 2020 and that number has been surpassed in 2021.
So comparing measles data to covid numbers, why should the measles vaccine be mandated? Over 350k deaths for covid per year vs 500 deaths for measles?
You are right, this is hilarious!

Trump vs. DeSantis: Let the war games begin
Surely Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) wants to avoid a higher ranking on former President Trump’s enemies list, but it’s doubtful that the governor will acquiesce.thehill.com
Baaaaaa….your a sheep….go ahead and drink the kool-aid. Make sure you do what the government tells you to do. Stand 6’ feet apart, wear your mask, stay in your house, shut your business down, etc. etc. You are being controlled and you don’t even know it. But it is America so you are free to believe what you want to believe…..uh…..wait….you can only believe what you want if it fits the narrative of the controlling elitist.Do you think the vaccines for mumps, measles and polio should be eliminated or would that be reckless? What's the difference?

I live in Florida. I continue to support DeSantis on his stances to protect everyone’s right to choose to get or not get the vaccine. I support his stance to allow citizens to not be discriminated against at their job because they chose not to get the vaccine. I believe in your right to make personal choices that are right for you and your family. I would hope that you believe I have the same right even if you disagree with my choice. Isn’t that the principles on what our country was founded?What do you think we should do?
