So far, DeSantis hasn’t netted any convictions through his new office.

So, he has no convictions.

No principles, either.

Charges were dropped because there was no case, but maybe also because following through would have created a spectacle damaging to DeSantis

Would that the media tell us about DeSantis’s failures as breathlessly as they tell us about his successes. I’ve noticed that one tends to follow the other.

It was never about getting convictions.

It was always about intimidation.

OT. Can we please have some laws about Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving? It bad enough when the teevee commercials started Halloween evening.

He’ll be the perfect soulless creature to go up against the other soulless creature. They can vie for the title of Worst Misanthrope ever.

All these cases will simply “disappear” by the end of the year. DeDoofus’ stunt backfired…just like the Martha’s Vineyard debacle

This is why it’s good to be king. You can declare when Christmas decoration season begins. For reasons of mental health turn off your TV beginning November 25 and don’t turn it on until December 26.

So far the cases he has lost have involved unusual circumstances. He hasn’t really lost any on the merits. Let’s see if the Florida prosecutors and courts are concerned more with entrapping people for political profit than doing justice. None of the people charged should go to jail.

I suppose the original idea was that it’s not OK for a sex offender to switch vehicles for the purposes of making himself harder to track. Still, the penalty seems extreme!

I hope someone is tracking how much this office and their actions cost the taxpayers of FL. I doubt that this is the return on investment that DeSantis claimed it would be.

Sirius radio has been playing Xmas music for almost 3 weeks now. I love Xmas, but not THAT MUCH.

Easy predication: None of this charges will be brought to trial or stick.

DeSantis achieved his goal of winning re-election through intimidation. The arrests served their purpose and are now just a distraction to him. Expect them to be dropped quietly.

OT. What are the odds that Michael Flynn and Senator Graham (R-DUMBASS) plead the Fifth in their GA grand jury testimony?

+100?
