Ron DeSantis is defending Donald Trump instead of the rule of law




@NikkiFried
Ron DeSantis is defending Donald Trump instead of the rule of law, so I’ll be holding a press conference tomorrow in front of the governor’s mansion to remind Floridians that nobody is above the law.


this is DeathSantis's statement:

"The raid of [Mar-a-Lago] is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves."

Crist has an excellent chance of defeating that christofascist piece of shit. I love Fried, but Crist can beat desatan. Moderates and sensible republicans will vote for him.

I'm a practical progressive. I know I'm way far left of the Democratic platform, but the rest of the country isn't on my wavelength.

But there's no damned way in hell I'd ever vote for anyone but a Democrat. I've been a Democrat since I first registered in 82.

This country is definitely a capitalist country and I've just had to accept that. 😔

De Santis needs the Trump worshipers' votes to get re-elected governor. That's what this is about.

Or is he trying to be a stochastic domestic terrorist?

Both seem criminal to me.

He'll take literally any position on any issue, if he thinks it will benefit him.

Anyone who wants to keep the TFG cultists has to. It's their base voters and most of these voters are still on TFG's side.

If you are a republican looking at the result of this year's primary, all of the people that voted against TFG or taken a stance against TFG have all retired or lost their primaries. You have to be scared of that base and have to side with TFG.

The Right is reacting as if it is. I don't know where this leads but will the rule of law apply or will this light the powder keg of stupidity that has gripped the deeply deceived ultra-right stupids in our country.

Hey Jerks, a Judge had to see probable cause to authorize this move.

I still don’t know how this creep can last a whole lot longer being fat, living on saturated fat, and constantly flying off the handle. What’s pathetic is he still has millions slurping him, even after he apparently wished he could just rule like Hitler.

He is one thoroughly despicable excuse for a human being and has zero empathy for anything or anyone. He will be trashed thoroughly future wise, up there with Mussolini and his idol Hitler. He makes me hope there really is a Hell, because his ticket has been punched.

There was a report last month that DeSantis wanted Trump indicted to clear DeSantis’ way to the nomination. He’s saying what he has to in order to keep the loonies on side, but he’s privately celebrating.

with these arguments, because--

he thinks and hopes that Trump is going to jail, clearing the field for him in 2024.
