Obvious culprit - global warming

Every bad thing in the world is caused by climate change.

That mansion looks antebellum

It must be ripped asunder

[wardaddy]

A live oak that size is far older than average person realizes

[wardaddy]

You’d be taking down a lot of live oaks and chinkapins and Deep South magnolias which grow a bit east and west and even reroot on occasion if you followed that strictly

Old Senile Joe may have to break out that grease fire story again.

Noticed on a NBC broadcast the reporter referred to it as ‘DeSantis’s mansion” instead of the Governor’s Mansion. Probably nothing intentional there, but the former suggests rich guy juxtaposed with coverage of families that lost everything; the latter being just where the FL governor resides. I’m jaded, assume only the worst from mass media.

Your post is why many hit RDS supporters with what you consider cold sounding posts.

It is the victim card that you always play replete with exaggerations and unfounded accusations.

The victim card calls for cold responses.

Yes, nobody cares about what happened to Florida. Patently untrue. Many live in Florida and we all like Florida even if we live elsewhere.

Oh, and who came up with the chainsaw and the tree business? Why it was you, but I have yet to see anyone accuse poor baby Ron of using a chainsaw for pity. Yeah, you missed it because you made it up.

ROFL! Trump is the KING of the victim card. It’s all he ever does. DeSantis never whines about anything, nor do his supporters. We are all about action, not words. But we are willing to call a spade, a spade.

Reminds me of the tree in Atlas Shrugged.

THAT tree is among the first 7 that will be cut up & removed.

Yeah, what right does he have to complain about being targeted for mistreatment < /sarcasm >?

What page is that on???

DeSantis wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that she and her three children were at home when the tree fell, but weren't injured.

Did they really need to post that?

Ha Ha...near the beginning. It's the old oak tree on the Taggert Estate that had "always been there", and was struck by lightening. Upon being opened up by the strike, the tree revealed that, although it looked good on the OUTSIDE, it was totally ROTTON on the inside.
