He’s back, and ready to once again piggyback on one of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s big anti-immigrant spectacles to score some political points of his own.

So Ron couldn’t out “mine’s bigger” with trump so he’s measuring up to Abbot. Insert Lucy Van Pelt quote here

He just loves the TV - it adds 10 pounds, and for him that counts as height.

He’s no longer running for president, but DeSantis is a radical culture warrior eager to forcibly impose his extreme anti American dogma on us all. He’s all in on dumb stunts to accomplish his goal to destroy our country.

FUCK DEAD-BOUNCE RON SIDEWAYS.

The rotten little fascist fuck is trying to reassert his dominance in FL after getting his dumb ass kicked on the national stage. Let’s not let him succeed.

And he’s tired of kicking the dog. Asshole couldn’t even stay with Nikki. And Disney’s doing just fine.

Abbott is only doing this to bolster Trump and deflect from his failure to pass his “signature” education plan to provide vouchers for private (Christian) schools while defunding public schools…

“vouchers” as in taxpayer’s money. As bad as going after Disney.

DeSantis is prone to publicly proving his loser and fascist bona fides.

I wonder how the FL lege will deal with him now that he’s in state full time? Plus they now have his undivided attention for two years.
And of course what will Ron do in his second act to piss off the rest of us?

DeSantis does realize he is out of the primary race and is term-limited, yes?

What happens if a member of the Florida Guard says “FU”, I am not going to Texas? Court Martial? Would it even be a legal order?

Yes.

Yes.

Very soon Mr ‘Boots’ DeSantis will be a forgotten and forlorn figure hitching a ride to Disneyland. It’s a hard thing being term limited.

Does anyone know if the Border Patrol has cut any of the fencing the “patriots” put up? They have the authority now, but I haven’t seen any reporting that says they have used it to cut wire or force their way into the park and Rio Grande where the “rebellion” is starting. Maybe they are trying to avoid a confrontation before the feds have things in place to make their move, but it just seems like it’s gotten awful quiet in terms of reporting from the “front”.

To deploy the Florida Guard out of state, in the absence of Federalization would be legal? Under what authority?

I saw this terrible AI-generated picture of Ron DeSantis the other day.

It not only had the wrong number of fingers, they were weirdly deformed and unnaturally discolored.

Then I realized it was just a real photo of him eating pudding.

(Some thing can’t be unseen.)
