I have referred to him (since day one) as DeSatan. It's served me well. I have written to both he and VoldaScott (Rick Scott) on several occasions with their nicknames. Neither one appreciates my creativity. Like I care what they think. I'm a fiscally challenged partially disabled gray haired citizen. All I've ever gotten from either one of them is neglect and abuse.
Dear Miss Mingo: You are absolutely right. The Latin was “gubernare” (verb) and “gubernator” (noun) but the Old French softened the “b” to a “v”. Dictionary makers wanted to keep some historical semblance so they kept the “b” for adjectives “gubernatorial” but the French for the noun “governor”. Let’s fix this once and for all: gubernator” is the Latin original, shortened to “guber”. Guber Ron, it is. (Retired Latin Scholar)
I want a governor who protects the cleanliness and water quality of Florida. Pollution prevention in a growing population requires good management and regulation enforcement. When I read about flesh eating bacteria on Florida beaches and algae infecting waterways the increase in population only intensifies the need to manage. Progress safeguarding the environment is good politics and will enhance Florida's tourist revenue. I am disappointed that a more aggressive water quality awareness campaign is not shared with citizens and tourists.
As a child I lived in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the 1960's. Septic systems were common near ocean marshes as raw sewage seepage and overflow, polluted ocean swimming areas. A determined Mayor decided to install sewage treatment plants, installed central underground pipe waste disposal and banned backyard septic tanks. The expense was high and the tax outrage was loud. 15 years later citizens were able to eat clam shellfish harvested from once polluted clam flats. Finding a politician with civic vision is more difficult than fixing the pollution
I think the term we are looking for is "trumpian".The term generally describes an, "often bombastic, personal style, a specific approach to business, or a political philosophy that is populist, nationalistic, and frequently unorthodox".
Deena, I do not want to take away from where you are coming from, BUT... Until we stop putting his name on everything he won't crawl back under the rock he came out from.

Thanks I've wondered how to refer to RS. I like VoldaScott. I refer to the other as DeathSatan.

Love it!
I always love your entries.
The wit keeps me entertained.
Thanks a million!
A noun phrase instead of an adjective: Extortionist blackmailer.

Guber gets my vote. However, I can think of other more befitting terms for him.
I think the Miss Mingo picture that you have at the beginning of this email would be awesome on tshirts
