DeSantis ain't a long thinker

[Vrede too]

Ironically, this will be an ad used by DerSantis' opponents in 2024, but with a laugh track and some images added.

It begins.

I'm pretty sure TRE45QN's going to run, at least for now.

Right-wing figures are ripping into Trump for mocking Ron DeSantis ahead of the midterms

... "Nothing like trashing a Republican Governor 4 days before Election Day when his name is on the ballot. #team," wrote Josh Holmes, a Republican strategist who formerly ran Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's campaign.

Trump's press office and representatives for DeSantis did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Notably, Trump later spoke at a Miami-Dade rally on Sunday, calling for his supporters to vote for DeSantis, who is running for reelection. DeSantis was not invited to the rally, which was held in support of Sen. Marco Rubio.

The snub meant DeSantis had to compete with Trump for voters' attention by hosting his own campaign events on the final Sunday before the November 8 election. DeSantis didn't mention Trump in speeches at his three events that day.

Internal GQP whining is music to my ears. Seems they haven't figured out that Former PINO feeds off of this sort of calculated controversy, and that it will make him even more likely to run. Ask the Never Trumpers. TRE45QN's ego is such that he would happily lose the 2024 general if he could say that he beat fascist fellow traveler DerSantis.

De comments do tell, "it's a cult", "it's a cult", "it's a cult", not only does the cult love him, they can't hear his idiocy. This idiot claims he never said it and her position is supported by other cultists.

Doesn't say whether she's an official MAGA or just a wannabe. I assume "Pureblood" = White supremacist, right?

A top post of hers:



If actually an anti-Lula "stolen election" rally, uh-oh.

"DeSantis to face trial for suspension of prosecutor who defied abortion ban law
Andrew Warren, a Democrat, sued Florida governor for suspension after saying he would not enforce new 15-week abortion law"

May it be the first of many.

Ron DeSantis suffers a stinging defeat in his war on woke
A three-judge panel of the notoriously conservative 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Florida's governor

In the last gasps of his presidential campaign, Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to brag that he made his state the place where “woke goes to die.” He has made his war on woke a central plank in his ongoing effort to secure the Republican nomination.

"last gasps"

... On Wednesday, DeSantis suffered a stinging defeat when a three-judge panel of the notoriously conservative 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Andrew Warren, one of those district attorneys in a suit he filed last year. That suit alleged that DeSantis had suspended him “in retaliation for exercising his right of free speech….” and asked “the court to declare the suspension unconstitutional and require that DeSantis reinstate him.’

The court agreed....

Warren drew the ire of DeSantis when he publicly voiced his opposition to the governor’s efforts to limit the rights of transgendered people and of women seeking abortions....

As the New York Times reports, an investigation of the circumstances surrounding DeSantis’ suspension of Warren, revealed that the governor’s office “seemed driven by a preconceived political narrative, bent on a predetermined outcome, content with a flimsy investigation and focused on maximizing media attention for Mr. DeSantis.”

... She scolded the governor for punishing Warren for purely partisan reasons. She called him out for seeking political benefit from “bringing down a reform prosecutor,” and reminded DeSantis that “the First Amendment protects government employees from adverse employment actions based on partisan considerations.”

The judge also noted that despite the governor’s imperial pretensions, “Voters elected Warren; DeSantis did not appoint him.” She explained that “If alignment with DeSantis’s political preferences were an appropriate requirement to perform the state attorney’s duties, there would be little point in local elections open to candidates across the political spectrum.”

And, in language that has particular resonance in 2024, Judge Pryor wrote, “Elections mean something. Majorities bestow mandates.” In a democracy, the job of elected officials, including prosecutors, is to translate those mandates into policy....

At the time he was suspended, Warren got it right when he labeled what DeSantis had done as “part of the authoritarian playbook,” and “something you’d expect to see in Russia. Not in the United States.” He was right again this week when he called the 11th Circuit’s free speech decision crucial to “the protection of democracy.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday promised to “bring a reckoning” to former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci if DeSantis is elected to the White House.

“We cannot allow Anthony Fauci to escape accountability,” DeSantis wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I am the only candidate who will bring a reckoning for what tyrants like Fauci did to our country during COVID.”

[O Really]

Yeah, because three years hence hounding the retired Fauci is a big priority for voters/citizens.
