"Close to?" DeSantis made a fool of himself a long time ago!

I have to admit I'm enjoying more than a little schadenfreude from the GOP (and the right as a whole) starting to turn on DeSantis. It's a karmic justice of sorts, especially knowing that a Trump primary win could hand the Dems a 2024 victory on a silver platter.

I wonder how long it will take Ron Quixote to squash this effort. I guess he'll have his tug buddies in the legislature write up a bill real quick to prevent it.

Love how they keep describing these agreements as "secret" when they were completed during FULLY public meetings.

Also, from the comments from the first article:

Asked how they are able to keep outwitting Governor DeSatan, the Kingdom replied, “O, we’ve been dealing with Goofy for a long time.”

The media always ends up using the words of the right wing media.

Nothing but the best
What the flying fuck? Somehow I missed out on that one.
Smith said the 17-year-old was unfit to obtain an abortion as he questioned her “overall intelligence, emotional development and stability”.
"You're not very smart, you're unstable, and not emotionally developed enough to NOT have a baby". The mind boggles.
I know the snappy answer is "well that just means the kid will grow up Republican"

you'd think florida dems would use their brains to make memes and other silliness of the governor who already has thin skin already. it shouldn't be too hard to pass them around and get republicans who hate the dude to engage with them.

is this possible given so many amateur meme makers and professional film editors and makers in that state or am I severely overestimating people's skills here?

it isn't just misactions and poor judgement of him going after groups businesses, schools and teachers and scientists. the more he speaks the more skittish he seems and has the charisma of old leather. say what you will about djt and how awful of a president he is, and his rambling but he does have a certain level of charisma and panache that draw people into him. so does a pile of dog shit to flies.

I guess I don't have much in common with flies because I find djt extremely repulsive.

I can only hope for a complete implosion of the GQP come 2024.

It may take longer than that. 24 is for DJT, which makes the desantis vs djt fight interesting but even hyenas fight over a dead carcass. Gop has made some terrible decisions lacking thoughtful outlook and it's going to hurt them in every election cycle for a long time. from repealing child labour laws to child marriage to abortion. The outlook isn't so good. With most republicans lacking a compass on life they don't stand a chance with the constant die off of older R voters and the lack of young R voters registering for their party. If you have to constantly prevent people from voting and gerrymander hard then you're not a winner at all but a loser. A true winner doesn't have to tip the playing field towards them. A winner could go in with nothing and sweep the field. Republicans are not that. Republicans love losing and making up excuses about why they lost, reasons that seem fanatical if not borderline mentally unwell. They cling onto and fight social progress that doesn't impact them. They become offended over a fucking beercan.

Republicans have a locked on grip on the supreme Court for a couple decades, because the Democrats have shown not enough balls or support to expand the court.

The Democrats had a favorable senate map this past election and still barely squeaked by with an extra seat.

It's great they didn't lose the house by as much as expected, but they lost the house.

Meanwhile red states are destroying rights and freedoms. It's great these policies are unpopular overall nationally ,but right now we have states where young girls, rape victims, women are forced to carry to term and even carry miscarriages that cause some to almost bleed out. People are getting shot for going to the wrong address or car, and some of the shooters are getting away with it. The fact is things are going backwards. It's great to show polls how people don't like these policies but it's actually getting worse every day in the real world


Children are being massacred in schools and random people in other mass shootings and nothing is being done.

It doesn't matter if these ideas are in the minority if the entire US government structure is completely biased to the minority, who are bad enough people that they will exploit it as much as they can, and the other party which is mostly sane, doesn't know how to play the game.

Biden barely won the election by the skin of his teeth too.

I would love to think that Republicans are dying out but if anybody looks at the last 6 years and think that the Republicans are going the way of the dodo is completely oblivious to reality.

They're more inclined to not listen to health experts and they suffered heavier losses during covid than other voting blocks by virtue of some horse anal wart cream being better than the inoculations.

Not necessarily. If Biden wins again in '24 (seems likely right now), and Ds have control of the senate (???) it's conceivable that the two oldest justices (Thomas and Alito) might not make it through another 5+ years ...

You got the future bet on a bunch of hopium. I think it's way past time we start being much more pragmatic than foolishly hopeful like this anymore.

Not at all. Just stating that the two justices closest (statistically) to leaving the court are GQP. That fact needs to be hammered home over and over again every time there is a federal election cycle. "You're voting for the court", which is itself pragmatic.

I was interested in how many bills DeSantis authored during his six years in Congress. He was listed as a cosponsor of 550 bills. Getting listed as a coauthor of a bill in Congress makes it appear that you are actually doing something. "It appears that the sole proposal authored by DeSantis that became law was a one-sentence amendment in July 2017 to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2018. His addition, which made it into the final budget deal signed by President Donald Trump the following February, prohibited any funds in the bill from being used to buy heavy water from Iran."

So DeSantis basically had ZERO legislative accomplishments while serving in the House. Too bad he didn't adopt the same do nothing attitude towards governing Florida.
