DeSantis is WORSE than Trump
DeSantis is using Trump's strategy - he wants the the White-wing knuckle draggers to believe that he hates the same people they hate.

Some people have claimed that Ron DeSantis is "Trump light."  They think he like Donald Trump without the crazy.

The truth about DeSantis is simple.  DeSantis panders to Trump's base - the fucking deplorables.  DeSantis uses a combination of ingredients to give Trump's base that he is one of them.  DeSantis loves to attack the east targets including homosexuals, immigrants, the press, minorities, vaccines, drag queens and transgender children.  DeSantis is using Trump's strategy - he wants the White-wing knuckle draggers to believe that he hates the same people they hate.

Everyone knows that Donald Trump is an unelectable loser who has committed many crimes.  And Trump wouldn't know the truth if it slapped his fat fucking ass.  So Trump doesn't know he is unelectable (yet).  DeSantis seems to be the Republican most likely to get the nomination.  Trump now perceives DeSantis as a threat so he has started attacking him.

It is fun to watch other Republicans tip toe around Trump.   Nikki Haley said she does't think the 2020 election was stolen and she was appalled at how Trump treated Mike Pence.  It will be interesting to see Haley debate Pence if they both seek the nomination.  Another member of Trump's cabinet, Mike Pompeo, who is almost as intelligent as tuna scented douche, will probably also run (yawn).

Now, back to Ron DeSantis....

Ron DeSantis, Notoriously Petty Man-Child, Swears His Anti-Media Crusade Has Nothing to Do With His Own Bad Press

The Florida governor insists that proposed legislation to make it easier to sue journalists is all about the “little guy.”

BY BESS LEVIN

FEBRUARY 23, 2023

Florida governor Ron DeSantis gets a lot of good press from media outlets who dangerously frame him as a happy alternative to Trump . At the same time, he gets negative press as well, thanks to— checks notes —his own policies and political positions, which, as a reminder, include :

Treating migrants like chattel ;

Signing a bill into law literally known as “ Don’t Say Gay ”;

Punishing people for speaking out against “Don’t Say Gay” ;

Signing a “dystopian” bill into law that restricts conversations about race in schools and businesses;

Declaring that the College Board’s AP African American studies course was not welcome in Florida because it touched on queer theory and intersectionality ;

Making it more difficult to vote ;

Having Floridians arrested as a political stunt ;

Appointing a surgeon general who promoted hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and recommended that healthy children  not get vaccinated  against COVID-19;

Bullying the Special Olympics into dropping its vaccine mandate for competition;

Signing an “anti-riot” bill into law in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that, among other things, grants civil immunity to people who drive their cars into protesters blocking a road; prevents people accused of rioting from being bailed out of jail until after their first court appearance; and makes it a second-degree felony to destroy a plaque, memorial, painting, flag, or other structures commemorating historical people or events (like, for instance, Confederate statues);

Eliminating Medicaid coverage for transgender care ;

Barring transgender girls from competing in sports ;

Demonizing and targeting drag shows;

Declaring, in official state guidance , that children who identify as trans should not be allowed to wear clothes or use pronouns or names that align with their gender identity

DeSantis clearly doesn’t like it when media outlets, writing about the above, describe his stewardship of Florida in less than glowing terms. Of course, one way of avoiding that kind of press would be to not run the state like a fascist. But apparently, DeSantis has other ideas.

Per Politico :

At the governor’s urging, Florida’s Republican-dominated legislature is pushing to weaken state laws that have long protected journalists against defamation suits and frivolous lawsuits. The proposal is part DeSantis’s ongoing feud with media outlets like The New York Times, Miami Herald, CNN, and The Washington Post—media companies he claims are biased against Republicans—as he prepares for a likely 2024 presidential bid. Beyond making it easier to sue journalists, the proposal is also being positioned to spark a larger legal battle with the goal of eventually overturning New York Times v. Sullivan, the landmark 1964 US Supreme Court ruling that limits public officials’ ability to sue publishers for defamation, according to state Rep. Alex Andrade, the Florida Republican sponsoring the bill.

DeSantis has a less than cordial relationship with many press outlets, and typically refuses to be interviewed by any platform that is not Fox News. In a campaign video released last August, he described his relationship with the press in warlike terms: “The rules of engagement are as follows: Number one—don’t fire unless fired upon, but when they fire, you fire back with overwhelming force. Number two—never ever back down from a fight. Number three—don’t accept their narrative.”

But as Politico notes, the DeSantis-backed bill “goes further than simply decrying media bias,” with free-press experts saying the legislation is unconstitutional and could have extremely worrisome consequences. “I have never seen anything remotely like this legislation,” Seth Stern, director of advocacy for the Freedom of the Press Foundation, told the outlet. “I can’t say I have seen every bill ever introduced, but I’d be quite surprised if any state legislature had seriously considered such a brazen and blatantly unconstitutional attack on speech and press freedoms. This bill is particularly remarkable since its provisions have the vocal support of a governor and likely presidential candidate.”

In its current form, the bill would reportedly let plaintiffs who file suits against media outlets for defamation to collect attorneys fees; includes a provision stipulating that remarks by anonymous sources will be assumed false (?) for the purposes of such suits; lower the bar for a “public figure” to be able to prove defamation; and revoke a section of state law concerning “journalist’s privilege,” which protects journalists from being forced to, among other things, reveal the identity of their sources in court.

Former Navy Pilot Rips 'Pathetic' Ron DeSantis Over 'Top Gun' Stunt

Ed Mazza
August 24, 2022 · 1 min read

A former U.S. Navy pilot is calling out   Ron DeSantis   for his new “Top Gun”-themed campaign ad in which the Republican Florida governor calls himself “Top Gov.”

“It’s not just cringey,” said Ken Harbaugh. “It’s literally Navy pilot cosplay.”

In the   widely mocked ad , DeSantis donned aviator shades and a bomber jacket and plopped into what appeared to be the pilot’s seat of a fighter jet as he talked about taking on the “corporate media.”

Harbaugh, a former Navy pilot and host of the “Burn the Boats” podcast, showed off his own jacket in a video posted by progressive PAC MeidasTouch.

“Now, unlike Ron DeSantis, I didn’t pick this jacket up at Party City,” Harbaugh said. “These are actual pilot wings.”

Harbaugh noted that while DeSantis did serve in the Navy, it was as an attorney.

“Nothing wrong with that,” Harbaugh said. “Until you start strutting around the flight line wearing aviator shades and pretending to be a badass.”

He added:

“This tough guy act is pathetic, especially from someone like Ron DeSantis. This campaign ad from Ron DeSantis is just one more example of a Republican politician appropriating the honor of others because he has none.”

Harbaugh concluded by giving DeSantis a new callsign: Wedge or “the simplest tool known to man.”

It should be obvious to anyone with a functioning mind that the Ds would prefer Trump over DeSantis.   DeSantis has a chance to win in the general whereas Trump would hand the presidency to whomever was the D nominee.   

Of course, Trump will not go silently into the night.   He is very likely to run third party, split the R vote, and indirectly hand the presidency to the D nominee.

Trump is a major problem for the GOP yet so many continue to defend him.   It is beyond nuts.

The potential to see this could come early in the election cycle.

Republican Presidential candidates will have to pledge support for the eventual nominee in order to be included on the Republican National Committee's debate stage, RNC chair Ronna McDaniel said Sunday.

McDaniel says candidates will have to sign the pledge prior to the first primary debate, which will be held in Milwaukee. Former President Trump has expressed opposition to the pledge, however, echoing his hesitancy to make the same pledge in 2016.

"We’re saying you’re not going to get on the debate stage unless you make this pledge," McDaniel said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "Anyone getting on the Republican national committee debate stage should be able to say, 'I will support the will of the voters and the eventual nominee of our party."

Of course the RNC also stated that they would not pay any more of Trump's legal bills if he ran for President in 24.  They said this as recently as November but I can't find anything else to indicate if they are still paying or have stopped paying.  If the RNC is still paying Trump's legal bills then it's fair to say the requirement to support the eventual nominee is another toothless expression.

Trump is running only because he sees support among sufficient GOP voters.   Those who support him (including those who do not support him but will vote for him if he is the nominee) is what gives Trump his current (albeit waning) power.

Because of the winner takes all policy in most gop primaries then Trump only needs about 35% of all gop primarily votes to insure re-nomination, if there are more than three Republicans running in 2024!

Trump's gop base of support is over 35%.

If the gop foolishly re-nominates Trump then Biden will easily win his 2nd term...

Your choice of a "pedophile deflection"is interesting since Trump has accused Ron "DeSanctimonious" of using alcohol to groom high school girls when he was a teacher.

Yes, unless he gets convicted, he's still the fucking front runner.

And, if he doesn't get the Republican nomination he may do the third party dance.

Either possibility would insure a Democratic victory regardless of who they nominate.

Goldwater was a neo Nazi.  Then Nixon was "worse than Goldwater."  and every Republican after Nixon was worse than him. Than Reagan became the ultimate boogeyman, then Bush, then Trump. 

DeSantis, and every other Republican who challenges Democrats will be worse than Trump. Then, the next Republican to be President will be the worst American history in history, and the next generation will be worse than X.  And trump, once he's safely dead like Goldwater or Reagan will praised by the left as a reasonable person, unlike Republican X, who is Hitler.

Covid-19: Florida’s surgeon general used “careless” research practice in recommending against vaccination, his university finds

Florida’s surgeon general violated his university’s rules against “careless, irregular, or contentious research practices” in recommending against mRNA coronavirus vaccination for males aged 18-39 , according to a report by his colleagues at the University of Florida’s faculty of medicine.

Joseph Ladapo, who was appointed by Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis, an outspoken critic of vaccines, became the only one of the country’s 50 state surgeons general to contradict federal health authorities , and the overwhelming consensus of experts, by recommending last October against the mRNA vaccination of young men. He cited the risk of cardiomyopathy.

Punishing people for speaking out against “Don’t Say Gay” ;

Signing a “dystopian” bill into law that restricts conversations about race in schools and businesses;

Declaring that the College Board’s AP African American studies course was not welcome in Florida because it touched on queer theory and intersectionality ;

Having Floridians arrested as a political stunt ;

Appointing a surgeon general who promoted   hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin and recommended that healthy children  not get vaccinated  against COVID-19;

Bullying the Special Olympics into dropping its vaccine mandate for competition;

Signing an “anti-riot” bill into law in the wake of the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests that, among other things, grants civil immunity to people who drive their cars into protesters blocking a road; prevents people accused of rioting from being bailed out of jail until after their first court appearance; and makes it a second-degree felony to destroy a plaque, memorial, painting, flag, or other structures commemorating historical people or events (like, for instance, Confederate statues);

Eliminating Medicaid coverage for transgender care ;

Barring transgender girls from competing in sports ;

Demonizing and targeting drag shows;

Declaring, in official state guidance , that children who identify as trans should not be allowed to wear clothes or use pronouns or names that align with their gender identity

There is no such thing as a "Don't say gay" bill. That is nothing but triggered leftists who can't handle that they will not be able to push their agendas down children's throats. DeSantis made the right call with this one.

As far as the surgeon general. He made recommendations based on research, It is well known that children would not catch COVID, and of they did, it would be minor. The statistics prove this. Parents and adults have the right to make up their own minds concerning their children and themselves. Just because you don't like it, it is no one's problem but yours.

The medications listed do have some qualities that lessen the effects of COVID. Leftists are triggered over the use of ivermectin, believing it is only used for parasites in cattle, That;s what the lemmings were told and that is what they ran with, not knowing how to look at the truth because they were told not to.

As far Florida recommending healthy kids not get the COVIS vaccine, that is up to the parents to decide. Florida did not require vaccines for children to attend school and those schools fared far better than the lemming leftist blue city/states that required masking AND vaccines.

Here are the math scores by state:

States with the Highest and Lowest Math Scores

Math is important to understand, as many careers in the STEM fields require knowledge of the subject. Which states have a good understanding of math

Math is an important subject and it rests at the core of many careers in the emerging STEM fields. Understanding the broad disciplines of math is not easy in any capacity, yet math scores can determine the course of any given student’s future path.

At Learner, we understand both the difficulty and the necessity of math as a subject and wanted to know what math looks like in the United States. We took a look at the average SAT math scores throughout the nation to find which states had the highest and the lowest. Check out the map and additional findings below to see how your state stacks up against the rest!

The states with the highest math scores are:

    1. Minnesota
    2. North Dakota
    3. Kansas
    4. Iowa
    5. Nebraska
    6. Utah
    7. Wisconsin
    8. South Dakota
    9. Montana
    10. Wyoming

The states with the lowest math scores are:

    1. Florida
    2. Idaho
    3. Delaware
    4. West Virginia
    5. District of Columbia
    6. New Mexico
    7. Rhode Island
    8. Texas
    9. Illinois
    10. South Carolina
    11. Oklahoma

Interesting Data Findings

    • Minnesota took the top spot with the highest average math score in the nation at 636, which is 106 points above the benchmark score of 530
    • The difference between the highest score (Minnesota) and the lowest score (Florida) is 156 points
    • Florida has the lowest math score in the U.S. at 50 points below the benchmark, with an average score of 480
    • Although Minnesota has the highest average score overall, North Dakota has a higher percentage of students meeting the math benchmark for the SAT
    • Florida may have the lowest average score, but West Virginia comes in last in terms of students meeting the benchmark with only 32% scoring at or above the required score

As you can see, Florida has the lowest math sores.  

I want all of the White-wing knuckle dragging stalker/trolls on this thread to spin these fucking numbers.  I'm sure Fox "news" can contradict these facts since they are campaigning fo DeSantis.  And, of course, since Fox "news" loves to lie, they can invent some "facts" to make DeSantis look good.

Did you send your great 'find' to Fox and ask them to do that?  Perhaps a letter to the FCC is in order since you are so sure of wrongdoing on Fox's part is occurring.

As explained tediously previously, the 22% represents the total number of Baltimore students proficient.

Zero is the number of proficient students that 23 public schools in Baltimore had.

No one else seems confused by these numbers.

This is reminding me of the alleged "Don't Say gay" bill which never existed but the left insisted was real. Now you are taking two different numbers signifying two different things and confusing yourself, convinced beyond all hope you are correct.

Statewide scores on the SAT is actually a common illustration in entry level statistics courses.

In order for the comparisons to be statistically valid, the samples would have to be random, but they're not.

Most colleges in the midwest prefer the ACT.  So kids in those states are less likely to take the SAT unless they're headed to a coastal school.  That group of students headed to out of state schools is statistically a higher performing group.

It would be like comparing the overall population at one school to varsity athletes at another and concluding the latter to have better phys ed programs.

It is amazing how so many people build these ridiculous stereotypes and then apply them in total for anyone who meets any of the criteria.

For example, if you challenge the counter-productive (stupid, actually) defenses of Trump you are a 'liberal' and are attributed with all the various accumulated properties of that stereotype.

It is simplistic, naive, binary thinking and it explains why so many who engage in such a practice are typically wrong.

Your opinion that he's a traitor and criminal, I won't say that until he's actually convicted.  I do believe in the law.  As far as the front-running candidate in the Republican party, I can only hope that is mostly because it's so early in the 24 campaign.  I won't vote for him so if he's the Republican candidate at election time my vote will go to some third party unless the Democrats can come up with someone I could support (right now they don't have anybody I could vote for).

There are some on this chat board who will state a person is defending Trump and supporting Trump just because the person is not in lockstep (or is it goosestep) with the person who hates Trump.  They have lost the ability to see the bigger picture, it's always only about Trump.  I can't count the number of times I've been accused of supporting Trump, solely because I could not see where the illegal action occurred so I was going to wait until the end of the investigation,  or because I am a believer in the rule of law and due process I didn't jump on the lock him up bandwagon each time a new article came out basically stating "we got him now".  I'm not a supporter of Trump and I get attacked by members of this very chat board.

I wish we could get more politicians to act like politicians who actually care about their constituents but I'm afraid that ship has sailed.  It seems that watching the President attack his political enemies has become the norm.  The extremists have taken over and I don't know where it's going to end as there are too many who support those extremists.

We will have to wait and see.  Her talking about everything she did talk about definitely impacted the case and the ability for the DA to proceed.  

First thing the DA will need to do in order to move forward is to impanel a regular grand jury in order to get indictments against Trump and anybody else.  With what the jurist has been doing, any indictments would be almost immediately met with the defense lawyers asking for dismissal due to a tainted grand jury.  We shall have to wait and see, but moving forward and actually winning any convictions has definitely gotten harder for the DA.

In reality there was no contesting of those electoral votes within the states. All of them had been certified by state election authorities.

Bannon Joins Long List Of Trump Associates Who Have Been Charged Or Imprisoned

Jemima McEvoy
Forbes Staff

TOPLINE

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was arrested on Thursday after being charged with fraud in connection to the “We Build the Wall” fundraising campaign, joining a sizable list of President Trump’s associates to have been charged or imprisoned on criminal counts. 

KEY FACTS

Steve Bannon’s indictment , which claims that he, along with three others, defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors to the “We Build the Wall” fundraising scheme for personal profit, makes him the third and final campaign manager involved in Trump’s 2016 election to have faced criminal charges. 

Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign head starting from January 2015, was arrested on misdemeanor battery charges for grabbing the arm of Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields in March 2016, whose allegations, though proven by video footage, were later dropped. 

Lewandowski’s charges were dwarfed by those against successor Paul Manafort, who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison in 2019 for a slew of charges from Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference, including tax and bank fraud, and conspiracy against the United States. 

The Mueller probe resulted in 100 charges against 34 people, six of whom were Trump associates, while the other 25 were Russians accused of interference. 

Rick Gates, a Trump campaign deputy, was sentenced to 45 days in jail on a plea bargain for charges of conspiracy against the U.S. and making false statements; Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security advisor, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, though his case is currently in limbo as the Department of Justice is attempting to withdraw his charge; and George Papadopoulos, Trump’s former foreign policy advisor, was sentenced to 14 days in prison with a year of supervised release, for lying to FBI agents about his contacts with Russian intermediaries during the 2016 campaign. 

Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer, was sent to prison in 2018 for tax evasion, fraud and lying to Congress about his dealings with Russia on behalf of the president, and has pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations for making hush money payments to women to keep quiet allegations Trump engaged in extramarital affairs. 

Trump recently commuted the prison sentence of longtime advisor Roger Stone, who was also convicted on seven charges, including lying to Congress and witness tampering, as part of Mueller’s investigation.  

Then, there’s a number of slightly less central, but still Trump-connected figures who have been charged or jailed: Alex van der Zwaan and Konstantin Kilimnik, associates of Manafort and Gates who were charged with making false statements and conspiracy to obstruct justice, Sam Patten, a lobbyist who pleaded guilty to illegally funneling foreign money into Trump’s inaugural committee, and two associates of Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, who were charged with campaign-finance violations.

Against trans? Shouldn't they be more concerned about mass shootings? 

School shootings—terrifying to students, educators, parents, and communities—always reignite polarizing debates about gun rights and school safety. To bring context to these debates, Education Week journalists began tracking shootings on K-12 school property that resulted in firearm-related injuries or deaths.

In 2023, we continue this   heartbreaking, but important work. More information about this tracker and our methodology is below.

There have been 7 school shootings this year that resulted in injuries or deaths.   There have been   151 such shootings since 2018 . There were 51 school shootings with injuries or deaths   last year , the most in a single year since Education Week began tracking such incidents in 2018. There were 35 in   2021 , 10 in   2020 , and 24 each in   2019   and   2018 .

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis loses lead in 2024 GOP race, now trails Donald Trump, poll finds

Sarah Elbeshbishi
USA TODAY
Published 7:08 p.m. ET Feb. 28,2023 | Updated 6:53 a.m. March 1, 2023

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis now trails former President Donald Trump in a two-man race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination despite previously leading the former president, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

While DeSantis has yet to announce a presidential campaign, the Florida governor has emerged as a front-runner to challenge Trump for the  GOP's 2024 presidential nomination.

The survey of 1,516 adults, taken Feb 23-27 online, has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7%. 

DeSantis falls behind Trump

Trump is now leading DeSantis by eight percentage points, despite trailing behind the Florida governor by four percentage points in a previous  Yahoo News/YouGov poll .

Forty-seven percent of registered Republicans and Republican leaning independents said they would vote for Trump in their state's primary whereas 39% said that of DeSantis, the poll found. 

That previous four-point lead by the Florida governor, plus Trump's new eight-point lead, makes for a total 12-point swing toward the former president.

Trump leads among wider GOP presidential pool

The survey also found that Trump leads with double digits in a wider Republican primary pool , with 45% of likely Republican voters saying they would vote for the former president in their state's primary. 

DeSantis comes in second with 29% of those surveyed. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley got 4%.  Haley announced her White House bid on Feb. 14.

Piece of fucking cake:

18 U.S. Code § 597 - Expenditures to influence voting | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute (cornell.edu)

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

I sure hope this enlightens you, and good luck getting your Google fixed soon!

Exactly, selective outrage from both sides:

  • the right usually opposes restrictions on free enterprise 
  • the left usually applauds restrictions on free enterprise

Disney World Is Now DeSantis World

Thank you for posting that extremely edifying Stephen Colbert look at DeSantis World.

I guess DeSantis will target Key West next because there may be "woke" people there too.

Luckily for the Dems, Trump considers DeSantis to be a traitor, which means DeSantis will not be the GOP nominee. Biden can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he will be running against Trump again. Anyone else and the Dems should be very worried, but Trump? He has lost every (the popular vote) election he has run in and the majority of people hate him, perfect guy to run against if your name is not Hillary Clinton.

Yet GOP members who say they do not want Trump to be the nominee but who will support him if he secures the nomination do not comprehend that their positions enable Trump.   Instead of "I will vote for Trump if he is the nominee" they should be holding the position of "I will ensure Trump never gets nominated".

They clearly do not realize that their refusal to go after Trump enables him.

This shit is truly mind boggling. I mean, the idea of dedicating yourself and supporting anyone to the death other than your spouse or children is insane to me, but the fanatical loyalty to Trump just defies any and all explanation.
