Ron DeSantis' Time is Up

[Yuwipi Woman]

It looks like he's planning to run for President in 2022. It isn't enough to fuck up Florida, he has to ruin the rest of the country too. He's already making campaign appearances around the country and he's raising massive amounts of money.

Ron DeSantis on pace to bring in more money than any governor candidate. Ever.

His record on education is abysmal:

Florida's fix for teacher shortage feels like a proto-militaristic takeover of schools

The DeSantis administration has shown it has a dark vision for education. Its policy of giving veterans an easy route to teach deserves intense scrutiny.

Ron DeSantis’ Crusade to Take Over Schools Scores a Big Win

The Florida governor is turning his anti-LGBTQ education agenda into a top-line issue for Florida Republicans, but his vision for the party extends well beyond the Sunshine State

His record of LGBTQ issues is worse:

7 Times Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Attacked the LGBTQ+ Community

In 2022, he is already set to add to this list.

I started this thread so we can keep a watchful eye on him and see what happens over the next couple of years.

Charlie Crist taps teachers union head as running mate in race against DeSantis in Florida

Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, has picked as his running mate Karla Hernández-Mats, the head of the teachers union in Miami-Dade County, in a clear sign that he intends to put education at the center of his campaign against Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Charlie Crist, brother that Jesus forgot.

So does that mean he and Trump are likely to rip each other new arseholes in the primaries?

Trump Family Dunks on DeSantis: You're 'Stealing' Our Bit!

Donald Trump says the Florida governor is mirroring the former president — right down to the hand gestures.

www.rollingstone.com

From the friendly confines of his New Jersey and Florida homes, the former president has indeed been keeping his watchful eye trained on DeSantis and the governor’s blossoming national celebrity status among the conservatives. The twice-impeached ex-president is still the clear leader of the Republican Party, and the polling favorite to win the 2024 presidential nomination, should he formally declare his intention to seek it.

But as DeSantis’ clout has grown among Republican voters, right-wing media stars, and GOP leaders and mega-donors, Trump has privately voiced anger over DeSantis’s supposed lack of gratitude and refusal to rule out challenging the former president in 2024.

Trump and DeSantis have sniped at the other in public, each without specifically naming the other. DeSantis criticized the Trump administration for measures aimed at “locking down the country” at the dawn of the COVID-19 pandemic, while appearing on the conservative “Ruthless” podcast earlier this year. For his part, the ex-president had gone on the incredibly pro-Trump TV channel OAN to strongly suggest that DeSantis was “gutless.” Both Trump and DeSantis have tried to publicly downplay the budding feud as a supposed invention of the news media.

Yuwipi Woman Good call. It's time this arsehole had a thread devoted entirely to him.

Charlie Crist, brother that Jesus forgot.

The smarter brother who never got nailed by the authorities.

the jokes just write themselves

 

[NoXion]

An absolute pustule of a human being. I guess being a charisma vacuum is no deficit so long as you spout all the right chud talking points.

 

[stavros]

DeSantis' claws are coming to town.

he wasted no time, pitching straight into the rightwing wheelhouse.

DeSantis promotes vicious smear against political rival

A good friend of mine moved to Miami from Mexico City, and I had thought I might visit him there at some point, but fuck that. It's now on the list with Mississippi etc as a place I've no desire to go.

Ron DeSantis: Florida governor takes credit for sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard

Worth the Democratic states waiting until (if ever) there's a sane majority on the Supreme Court and then suing the cunt for food & accommodation until they get settled.

 

[Yossarian]

Looks like DeSantis is recruiting his spokespeople and everybody else in his disgusting administration from the biggest shitheads he can find in Facebook comments.

Christina Pushaw, a spokesperson for Mr DeSantis' re-election campaign, said Martha's Vineyard should be "thrilled". "They vote for sanctuary cities - they get a sanctuary city of their own. And illegal aliens will increase the town's diversity, which is strength. Right?"

To lazy to read the article, but I'm guessing that's not Martha's Vineyard in Swansea?

"Own the libs" of course. Its all playing to his base. When the inevitable confusion happens, he can say "look, the libs don't want them either."

Yeah, that's clearly his short-term goal, but long term? The locals scrambled to accommodate them so if showing up the hypocracy of wealthy 'lib' areas is the goal, he kinda failed on that score...? Plus for some reason the BBC have changed the article

I think it's a bit ill conceived. We have a shortage of workers in a lot of industries. Give them a green card and take jobs that are going unfilled.

 

[Nylock]

Yep it is, but the republicans do give the impression that they've never encountered an idiotic, self-defeating plan that they didn't like

 

[NoXion]

Looks a lot like people trafficking to me.

To be fair, neither have the Democrats.

 

[Yossarian]

If DeSantis wanted to really fuck with places like Martha's Vineyard he'd be sending planeloads of Florida Men.

 

[Nylock]

To be fair, neither have the Democrats.

Yep. You've only got to look at their PAC's pumping money into MAGA nutjob primary campaigns to see but one example. Surely they'd have learned their lesson on that front from how the 2016 GE panned out for them and the rest of us...

DeSantis could be charged with kidnap after moving migrants to Martha’s Vineyard

fingers crossed

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

DeSantis is looking more and more cruel and inhumane as more information comes out:



It's pretty clear that they intended to really screw these people over just for the joy of doing them harm.

I hope DeSantis and co massively fucked up here, it looks that way..

 

[two sheds]

Yep violating federal law
