...Trump-hating [Ron DeSantis] has disgraced himself by stating that [Andrew Tate] and [Tristan Tate] are not welcome in Florida!"

Did I miss something? Since when do DeSantis and Trump not align on their shit values?

But also, I mean, it doesn't have to be said, but fuck all of them with a chainsaw.

That chainsaw reference put some undeletables images in my head...

Well, their recruitment along with the Silk Road guy is all part of Trump's plans to start massive human trafficking and drug trafficking organizations. He needs their expertise in human trafficking so he forced Romania to let them come here.

The current node for human trafficking, to help cover where people are being sent, is Guantanamo (and Panama). That's Ron's old stomping grounds. And while I think he's cool with torture of "terrorists," he's not so into mass rape of women, egg farming, genocide to grave rob America. I think he also got freaked out by the Les Miserable song at the Governor's Ball (he cowered) and all the loud loud pushback he's experiencing from people calling in constantly to complain and also the protests.

Or maybe he's just mad they took the spot he wanted.

Holy Christ... If true, this would be so much darker and more evil than I ever expected from these people.

You sound like my mom talking about Qanon lol

Except this isn't so far fetched. Trump was friends with epstein what makes you think he doesn't want another place to rape women freely?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

That's an odd way of spelling "little girls"

They align on their values but DeSantis considers himself Trump's rival for the presidency.

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

That's what makes his anti-Tate stance exceedingly cute, on so many levels. Not only does he lack the power or will or conviction of his words, but no-one one either side gives two shits what DeSantis has to say on this topic, or any other.

What I'm hearing is the Dems are going to nominate him for their 2028 attempt.

He won't switch parties. They'll just pick him anyways.

Well, the hilarious thing is, that DeSantis can side with the state's rights crew of NY, Maine, Washington, California so far, and he could also have his attorney generals or other people mess with Trump legally for taxes or other issues, eg Mar A Lago. He actually very much could be a headache for Trump just like he was for Disney.

The difference is that little Rhonda thinks he’s doing good. Trump is malicious.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

And Trump always underestimates people like Pence and DeSantis for being "stiff"

Anyone else think it's kinda funny Ted Cruz is so unlikable he's been shut out of all their stuff?
