That is one of the highest concentrations of mixed political metaphors per cm3 that I have ever seen. You get a 
just for the sheer over-the-top-ness of it all.

Andrew Warren knows exactly what kind of man DeSantis actually is. That is precisely why he is out of a job now.

Help me understand this…Mr. Warren was DULY ELECTED AND WRONGLY REMOVED. So, what about Warren’s constituents? Don’t they have the right to have THE MAN THEY ELECTED RETURNED TO OFFICE? I can’t believe this is the end of this.

Ok, yes, so can I interest you in this?
My mind doesn’t go to the meaning that @occamscoin described. Not that I’m right, but when I hear the expression of dragging someone I usually think the “muck and, or mire”. I know that one can have just muck, but does mire always follow muck?

The judge had a job to render a decision, not to editorialize a decision. His decision was to duck and run while turning and shooting. The most feckless decision by a drive-by judge that I have seen lately.

“Drags” DeSantis? What does that mean? Dragged him behind a pickup truck? Dragged him in a river behind a speedboat? Keelhauled him? Grabbed him by his hair and dragged him through the courtroom? Is ‘drags’ code for something? How about writing in standard English so we can all be in on the news? Otherwise it’s not news, it’s just jargon and gibberish rooted in some insane attempt to be … what? Cool? Nonsense.

The “peanut gallery” was the on-air audience of kids on the Howdy Doody show. I believe it came to mean any group of little kids watching a performance, though it may also refer to the collective mentality of the Republican members of Congress, which perhaps should be more properly referred to as a collection of moronic adolescents possessing less collective intelligence than a small band of monkeys. I could, of course, be wrong about the Howdy Doody reference.

Raise your hand if you think DeSantis had everything to do with Gaetz getting off Scott-free.

Republican politics dramatically changed after Trump showed–in 2016–that, after the GOP Nomination, it was not necessary to pivot to “the center”.
By usage, it is any audience group sitting in the cheap seats and kibbitzing about the performance. Doesn’t have to be kids.

DeSatan just wants all of his Florida subjects to start addressing him as “Massa Ron”
…Just the dark ones. The white folks just have to do a one-armed salute and yell “Heil!”
Well, that was a rabbit hole. Lots of definitions for the word drag. Many could be consistent with this usage;
“pull (someone or something) along forcefully, roughly, or with difficulty.”
“we dragged the boat up the beach”
catch hold of and pull (something).
“desperately, Jinny dragged at his arm”
of an anchor) fail to hold, causing a ship or boat to drift.
“his anchor had dragged and he found himself sailing out to sea”
search the bottom of (a river, lake, or the sea) with grapnels or nets.
“frogmen had dragged the local river”
Interesting word! Thanks!
