He has the best of Donald Trump's policies and he knows how to get them implemented unlike Trump. What I really like about DeSantis is that he is a fiscal conservative. Trump is not.

He will.
Trump will be a lot of bluster but a failure to execute long lasting change just like his first term. Ron DeSantis will actually get laws changed for the better resulting in long term improvement in the US.
Here is the only thing DeSantis has done which I am not 100% on board with

As a concealed carry permit holder I own several guns and believe in a person's right to defend themselves. However, I do believe in the training and background checks which were a prerequisite to carrying a concealed firearm when I obtained mine

No POTUS will effect long lasting change unless 2 things happen:
1. the house and senate help him
2. democrats remain in the minority
If Trump hadnt been fucked over by cocaine mitch and paul rino, he'd have had 2 more years to get shit done.
Anyway, as I've said before, if you think they went after Trump for being satan, it will be even worse for DeSantis because he's far more CONservative than Trump.

Hey genius, American workers are in a lot of pain now thanks to Bidenflation.
Eliminating the useless bureaucracies of the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Education would only cause pain for the deep state.
Helll, even after agreeing to $109 billion instead of $112 billion proposed by the Florida house and senate, old DeSantis still agreed to the biggest budget in his state's history.

America's gun culture is def broken....Lokmar!
A country that got it right is Switzerland.
They have more guns than Canada but even we are put to shame by them. Their murder rate is way lower than ours. And we're way lower than America
Not enough to teach people to fire a gun
Society needs to teach them responsibility and discipline like the Swiss do
Snd that can only come with 3 years of mandatory military service like the Swiss force their men to do
Giving some young punk a gun be he on the left or right is a recipe for disaster
A gun doesn't make a person a man but responsibility does
Owning a gun is an awesome responsibility and with great power comes great responsibility

In America, the focus is on the God given inalienable right to overthrow the federal government when it becomes despotic....which many believe it has. Cucknadians like you just stay down in the dirt and lick Justies taint when he tells ya too josephine!!!!
The way you deal with gun violence is to execute the liberals, jigs, and other trash when they act a fool. Problem solved.

There is nobody with the surname Paul seeking the GOP nomination, which means there is no small government fiscal hawk running to be president.
Trump was and remains an advocate of big spending. What differentiates him from big spending Dems, is that he wants the money targeted towards investments that actually benefit middle class Americans. I am referring to roads, bridges, airports and water purification systems. The Dems, on the other hand, want massive multi billion dollar cash transfers to chip manufacturers and green corporations that reward Dem Super PAC contributors.
DeSantis is in the middle. More cautious of how money is spent than Trump, but not nearly as frugal as say Senators Kennedy or Paul.
Except we've already seen what Trump policies wrought in the first three years of his presidency and how it took a slew of dem assholes locking down their states to nuke it. Anyone pushing a goods and services tax after the economic raping Bidenomics has visited is either ignorant, irresponsible or simply a complete cunt who doesn't give a shit for the damage he's going to do to the working and middle classes, nor small business and independents.
Christ on a cross, is this what I have to look forward to for the next two years? Conservatives looking for any angle to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? You should look at other countries that have implemented such policies and decide for yourself if you're prepared for the level of masochism you are inviting. Australia is a good example; when their tax system was fucked with in similar manner thanks to their GST the value of their dollar slid like a motherfucker and people stopped buying shit as a result. It was nearly half the value of the Greenback at one point. Or you can look to Europe and see what happened to their spending habits when they introduced their VAT.
Leftist policies, ahhh but this time it's being pushed by a guy with an (R) after his name so it'll be different... nothing to see here folks, drink the Kool-Aid. No orange flavour for YUO!
Meh, getting tired of people that insist on finding out the hard way... to all of our cost.

True. What's really galling is watching conservative voters bending over backwards to accommodate it, especially during a time when the dem prospects are weaker than a Bud Lite shandi and more quantifiably gay than the parasol adorning it.
Above all, I simply cannot get over the mind numbing stupidity of the assertion that simply because someone is getting a few wins at the gubernatorial level, that ought to make them a shoe-in at the presidential. It doesn't. Polishing your message and hitting a few home runs in ONE state is a far cry from balancing the books for fifty. We have a candidate who in spite of everything managed an age of prosperity for three out of his four years - a proven track record that is all the more stupendous considering the opposition he faced.
Do we trust the demonstrated and proven results of this man? Some here are determined to deny it, rather chasing a pie in the sky tale sold them by the
It's moronic and asinine. And I say this as a person with no real bones to pick on a personal level with those here that are pushing it.

Good Gollie, Ollie!
The republicans seem split down the middle don't know where they're goin'.
But on the other hand, the Democrats don't seem to be behind Biden either.
so both Americna parties could go into the election as divided as each other.
Should be an interesting outcome when the majority of the american public don't care for either candidate.
but that could also work in Trump's favor because in spit of all his haters, he's got a lotta lovers too.
I don't think Biden does tho. He's more take him or leave him.
He doesn't have a passionate following like Trump does.
kSo that's a big achilles heel of Biden's, eh.,

Basic training isn't a bad idea. It's mandatory in Canada to have the two day basic training before one gets licensed, and it's not all bad.
You really do learn things in our courses that may be apparent to knowledgeable firearms owners, but wouldn't be to someone unfamiliar. Just a few things we went over:
12/20 burst.
Squibs.
Ability to safely clear every firearm action.
Practicing de-cocking a Winchester 1894 over and over again (thumb slips off the hammer, gun will go bang).
Rules and regs surrounding firearms.
Shotgun chokes.
There was much more, but they drilled in hard that there should be no accidents with a firearm, provided you handle things safely and properly at all times.
All of these actions are practiced and explained using various fully functional firearms the instructor will bring to class (yes, no live ammo is permitted in class, and every student is asked before entry if they possess any live ammo). Every student is expected to handle every action type, and show that he/she understands how it functions, how to clear it, etc.

Trump faced a fukload of RINO's, the RINO's in Florida know if they dont tow the DeSantis line, they're political careers are over.
Trump also faced the russia hoax which stunted any momentum he had going into 2017.
The difference this time is Republicans will tell the dems GFY even if they have an actual pic of Trump pissing on o'jigaboos mattress with russian hookers.

Nearly every Republican claims to support law and order and to oppose the blue-city crime wave, but almost none of them are actually supporting bills toughening sentencing on violent criminals. In fact, GOP-controlled legislatures are still promoting left-wing jailbreak bills, making it harder to deter and incarcerate people who need to be taken off the streets.
We have all heard about the dozens of conservative bills Ron DeSantis signed this past legislative session, but don't think his veto pen laid dormant. The GOP-dominated legislature passed two jailbreak bills nearly unanimously. Taken together, they were designed to keep more potentially violent career criminals out of jail by lowering criminal points and downgrading parole violations for people who, by definition, already got their second chance and violated it.
Disney World has a bigger problem than Ron DeSantis: people aren't going. People have had enough of woke corporations who do not respect their customers.
There are plenty of explanations for the slowdown in Disney World visitors — company execs have suggested the decrease is mostly due to a pullback in interest following their successful 50th-anniversary celebration in 2022 and the weather on July 4 was historically hot. The other obvious issue is Disney's ongoing feud with DeSantis. Non progs aint willing to support woke companies and who can blame em for that.
Shanghai Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland Resort are doing just fine. Lots of growth in revenue at both of them.

An article from Business Insider is being mocked and ridiculed after critics online figured that it was premised upon an embarrassing error.
The article was written by real estate reporter Kelsey Neubauer and claimed that more people had moved out of Florida than either California or New York. Unfortunately for BI and Neubauer, the writer appeared to misread population statistics. Florida has seen the greatest population boom among all 50 states.
Some immediately pounced on the headline to falsely mock Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his policies.
"What's that sound? it's the rush of people leaving florida due to the unaffordable cost of living and the sound of desantis' biggest talking point going poof at the same time," read one tweet.
Others noted the error and lambasted the news outlet.
"How is this even possible? They misread the data, yes, but how did someone not say, at the first stage, 'quite obviously, this isn't true'?" responded writer Charles C. W. Cooke.
"Oof, that's gonna be a retraction," replied Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for DeSantis. "I made sure to email her boss' boss' boss.
"This was a super-eager, hasty, and sloppy attempt at dunking on DeSantis by trying to debunk his state's track record of attracting people through policy and governance," tweeted writer Ranjit Singh.
"I am not sure what their editorial process is at @thisisinsider -- but an error of this magnitude obviously should have been caught by an editor well before publication. This calls into question the accuracy of all their real estate reporting," responded Christina Pushaw, the rapid response director for DeSantis.
"I am embarrassed for you. I'd say to not quit your day job, but this is your day job. oof," read another tweet.
After several hours the entire article had to be re-written, and a correction was issued.

My 2 oldest kids live in the Orlando area now. My 3rd kid and his fiance are visiting the other 2 down there. I'm down there at least every 3 months. You cant believe all the road and home and apartment and supporting infrastructure going on down there. People leaving? It looks to me like the whole fucking country is moving down there!

Unfortunately for BI and Neubauer, the writer appeared to misread population statistics. Florida has seen the greatest population boom among all 50 states.
Some immediately pounced on the headline to falsely mock Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his policies.
"What's that sound? it's the rush of people leaving florida due to the unaffordable cost of living and the sound of desantis' biggest talking point going poof at the same time," read one tweet.
Others noted the error and lambasted the news outlet.
"How is this even possible? They misread the data, yes, but how did someone not say, at the first stage, 'quite obviously, this isn't true'?" responded writer Charles C. W. Cooke.
"Oof, that's gonna be a retraction," replied Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for DeSantis. "I made sure to email her boss' boss' boss.
"This was a super-eager, hasty, and sloppy attempt at dunking on DeSantis by trying to debunk his state's track record of attracting people through policy and governance," tweeted writer Ranjit Singh.
"I am not sure what their editorial process is at @thisisinsider -- but an error of this magnitude obviously should have been caught by an editor well before publication. This calls into question the accuracy of all their real estate reporting," responded Christina Pushaw, the rapid response director for DeSantis.
"I am embarrassed for you. I'd say to not quit your day job, but this is your day job. oof," read another tweet.
After several hours the entire article had to be re-written, and a correction was issued.

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
My 2 oldest kids live in the Orlando area now. My 3rd kid and his fiance are visiting the other 2 down there. I'm down there at least every 3 months. You cant believe all the road and home and apartment and supporting infrastructure going on down there. People leaving? It looks to me like the whole fucking country is moving down there! The interstate and toll road construction, especially between Ocala and Orlando is huge!!!!
I go to Florida every winter. The state is booming. The article looks like it was fact checked by Gavin Newsom.

Trump is not a right winger. And he is about the furthest thing from a fiscal conservative. On some issues, he is to the left of many Dems. Take immigration, his immigration policy is that of the Dems in the 1990's. On health care, he expanded Medicare more than Obama did. On trade, his positions are in line with those of Ralph Nader. On energy development, his views are those of Obama before he became president and even his first year as president. On entitlements, he stands on the same side as Elizabeth Warren.
People like Oldoc and Admin that do not like him personally are totally ignorant of where he stands on almost all issues.

DeSantis has his issues, we've dealt with them before. As of yesterday the RCP aggregate of his in-party support was trailing Trump's by 32 points, prompting a campaign shakeup.

Trump's campaign has claimed that Fox News' billionaire owner Rupert Murdoch has soured on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The press release comes after news that the DeSantis campaign has cut roughly a third of its staff—or 38 people—as part of a "reset" aimed at getting the Republican's presidential bid back on track.
DeSantis has ruled out Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a potential running mate, although he would consider the Democratic presidential hopeful for a health position in his administration if elected president.
The wheels are really falling off DeSantis' campaign. A New Yoork Times/Siena poll has him thirty seven points behind Trump. Trump has fifty four percent and DeSantis has seventeen percent of Republican voters.

Ron DeSantis issued Vice President Kamala Harris a direct challenge on Monday over the narrative that she has perpetuated about Florida's African-American history curriculum.
Last month, Harris seized on Florida's new curriculum standards, claiming state officials want to "gaslight" students by teaching them "that enslaved people benefited from slavery." The curriculum, of course, does not teach that.
Rather, one specific standard says teachers should examine "the various duties and trades performed by slaves (e.g., agricultural work, painting, carpentry, tailoring, domestic service, blacksmithing, transportation)." The added "benchmark clarification" explains that "instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."
Harris' claims set off a firestorm against DeSantis, which has included being attacked by fellow Republicans who also criticized the curriculum.
What is DeSantis doing now?
On Monday, DeSantis invited Harris to Tallahassee to discuss the standards with prominent scholar Dr. William Allen, a former chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights who helped craft the standards.
Allen is a descendant of slaves and has defended the standards vigorously.
"It's past time to set the record straight," DeSantis wrote in a letter. "In Florida we are unafraid to have an open and honest dialogue about the issues. And you clearly have no trouble ducking down to Florida on short notice.
"So given your grave concern (which, I must assume, is sincere) about what you think our standards say, I am officially inviting you back down to Florida to discuss our African American History standards. We will be happy to host you here in Tallahassee," he continued. "I will ask Dr. William Allen — instrumental in the development of our impressive new standards — to join. We welcome you, of course, to bring Randi Weingarten or someone else who shares your view about the standards."
DeSantis said he is prepared to meet as early as Wednesday. Harris is actually speaking in Orlando on Tuesday, so meeting would not be logistically difficult. She is traveling to Wisconsin on Thursday.
Indeed, a short turnaround time is not difficult for Harris because, according to CNN, Harris' team "quickly arranged" the trip to Florida, where she launched her attack against DeSantis and the new curriculum.

I do not care about the candidate all that much. With me, it is ninety percent policy. So far, DeSantis has the most detailed plan of all the candidates for the GOP.
I heard the Devil is in the detail. More detail equals more Devil. It certainly seemed to be the case when Hillary was running for the Dems in 2016. She had more detail in her police than Trump did. So much detail, she was compelled to split it up; detail for the voters, detail for her donors.
The Don had one detail that interested me. Ironically it was the same detail that Bernie Sanders was pushing - essentially getting the corruption out of politics. Only Bernie ended up bent over and detailing Hillary's flaccid schwanz after she had fucked him with it during the primaries while Don rampaged about like a bull in a china shop. And I liked the results his rampaging brought for the most part. Shit, it took a manufactured panic to bring Trump's America to its knees and still he was out there, fucking up the globalist agenda at every turn.
I'll take another four years of that any day of the week thanks. Lay it on me brother. Gimme back that good old energy independence, gimme back that those economy nutritious tax cuts. Gimme back the sterling foreign policy, steeped as it was in the drawing down of troops and the no new wars started during any President's term since Jimmy Carter and for fucks sake gimme back them boner inducing tweets.
I have on the one hand a guy promising to lay waste to the middle class and free speech versus a guy whose already proven track record which, while not perfect, put a fuck of a lot more ticks in pro column than crosses in the deficit column. And he's got an axe to grind with the people who took his Win and flushed itl past the U bend.
There's a reason why the also-rans are trailing by three dozen percentage points or more, just as there is a reason why all his political opponents are shaking in their boots. He's made America great once, I've no reason to expect that he is incapable of doing it again.
Fuck De Santis. Fuck him in the ass with a fire hydrant.
Florida's K-12 education framework is paving the way for other conservative states by creating a blueprint for eliminating woke ideology and prioritizing core academics, according to a new report.
Dr. Scott Yenor, a Washington fellow at the Claremont Institute and a political science professor at Boise State University, and Anna K. Miller, the director of the Center for American Education, recently released a report highlighting Florida's education successes and how its policies could serve as a framework for leaders in other red states to reform.
The report, "Florida's Blueprint for K-12 Education," details how Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and his administration have exposed critical race theory and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives within the state's education system and implemented new policies prioritizing academic excellence and competence.
Miller said, "We did an in-depth evaluation on Florida's K-12 system and to what extent the policies [of] DeSantis' administration have been working or not. We found that they, overall, have been successful. The spread of corrupt ideology in the system is slowing down; it's weakening."
After our review, we think that the Florida model is the blueprint that every other red state should start pursuing as well," Miller added.
As far as which policies have moved the needle the most, Miller noted that the DeSantis administration's Parental Rights in Education bill has successfully pushed school districts to eliminate so-called racial equity policies and harmful gender plans that forced teachers and school staff to hide a child's gender transition from parents.
Miller and Yenor explained that Florida officials have been successful with their strategy to completely revamp the state's education standards, including abandoning Common Core state standards and rebuilding English language arts, social studies, health, mathematics, and civics standards to reorient the entire system around a new set of values that strives for academic excellence instead of DEI, CRT, and other critical social justice initiatives.
The Sunshine State also opened up additional certification options for educators besides the standard college of education curriculum, which Yenor noted should also help overhaul the state's school system.
"You have to stigmatize the bad things that schools are doing and try to help them build good things. The thing that really makes Florida stand out is that it did both of those things at the same time. The education policy folks knew that you can't build anything good if the environment around what you're trying to build — good standards — is bad. They realized they had to go after DEI, racial plans, gender plans," Yenor told TheBlaze.
"I think every state should be doing that," Yenor continued. "I think they should be taking both of those steps within the general context of destroy and replace the parts of the system that are bad."
Florida also implemented universal school choice through its Education Savings Account policy, which allows parents to choose alternative education options for their children if they are unsatisfied with their school district. Participation in Florida's ESA program has grown exponentially in the past year, Yenor reported.
The key aspects of Florida's effective strategy to reclaim traditional academic excellence included implementing universal school choice, revamping the state's education standards, and decreasing the power of the teachers' unions.
"They also have passed a paycheck protection law, and that is decreasing teachers' union membership and causing many teachers to be less on the side of the union and more on the side of reform and excellence," Miller added.
Additionally, the state requires unions to represent at least 60% of employees instead of the standard 50%. Miller explained that there is "a big misconception" that teachers' unions hold less power in conservative states than in left-leaning states.
"That's not necessarily true," Miller added. "I'll just use Idaho as an example. Governor Brad Little of Idaho, he oftentimes sides with the unions' position when it comes to education. Not on all policy issues, but when it comes to the issue of education, he generally sides with the unions. And the unions have a lot of special privileges in law and statute here in Idaho, and that's the case for many, many red states. The pressure that they're able to apply at every level of government is a huge reason why states don't pursue reform and why leaders are often hesitant to seek reform because the unions control a huge portion of their constituents."
Parents in Florida have also spearheaded efforts to regain control of the school system by getting involved in their child's school or removing them from poor-performing public districts.
"Those are two things that parents in every single state should be doing, getting both involved in the system and trying to reform it by either running for school board or testifying at hearings, whether at the school board level or at the state level. But also, really paying attention to your kid's education and getting them into an alternative system that suits them better if you can," Miller noted.
Yenor credited DeSantis and his administration for the state's successful education reform but noted that other states with larger Republican majorities could easily replicate Florida's framework and eliminate leftist ideology from K-12 classrooms.
"We're hoping that this is just a knowledge problem, that governors just don't know how to do it. By looking at Governor DeSantis, they may learn how to do it," Yenor said.
Yenor and Miller will release a similar report next month analyzing California's left-leaning school system.

I tried warning people about it when they were obsessing over Orangemanbad in the 2020 election cycle. They weren't into understanding that however bad they thought the then-prez was, there was a far greater threat being squeezed through the door that they might have done well to pay at least cursory attention to.
Now look what they've got... a corrupt criminal and puppet whose sole claim to fame was that he previously fluffed for a gay nigger by the name of O'Bummer. Great.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) slammed the media on Sunday for "politicizing the weather" and blaming Hurricane Idalia on climate change.
After touring hurricane damage in Florida on Saturday, President Joe Biden asserted that "nobody intelligent can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore." Then, at a press conference on Sunday, a reporter asked DeSantis about Biden's remarks as well as the remarks from other media talking heads who are blaming weather events on climate change.
The Florida governor responded by quickly shutting down the leftist narrative.
"The notion that somehow hurricanes are something new, that's just false. And we've got to stop politicizing the weather and stop politicizing natural disasters," he responded.
The governor cited two powerful hurricanes that struck Florida: a 1896 storm that followed nearly the same path and had the same estimated strength as Idalia and the Labor Day hurricane in 1935, one of the most deadly and most powerful storms ever to strike the U.S. These hurricanes, DeSantis suggested, are two examples that prima facie disprove the narrative that climate change is causing more intense storms.
"The notion that somehow if we just adopt very left-wing policies at the federal level, that somehow we will not have hurricanes, that is a lie," DeSantis said.
And that is people trying to take what's happened with different types of storms and use that as a pretext to advance their agenda on the backs of people who are suffering," he continued. "And that's wrong, and we're not going to do that in the state of Florida."

Funny thing about Joe Biden... his approval rating in the US is around 35%.
And Putin's is running at 21%.
There are less percentage points between Biden and Putin than there are between Trump and DeSantis.

The Florida governor is doing the inept president's job for him.
Just days after signing an executive order to rescue Americans trapped in Israel following the Hamas surprise attack last weekend, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis welcomed 270 U.S. citizens back home to the United States.
Man, what a leader. A real champion of the working class.
Ron DeSantis sent a resounding message to foreign students celebrating terrorism – not on his watch.
An NYU student was caught ripping down posters of Israelis who have been kidnapped by Hamas.
More than 30 student-run organizations at Harvard placed blame on Israel for the surprise attack by Hamas terrorists earlier this month.
The protests continued in the two weeks following the onslaught that included some 260 young Israelis who were murdered at a music festival near the border of Gaza.
DeSantis vowed to cancel visas and deport foreign students celebrating terrorist acts or terrorist groups.
"When I'm President, if foreign students are out there celebrating terrorism, I will cancel their visas and send them home," DeSantis wrote on the X social media platform on Saturday.
Ron definitely blew his 2024 chances.

Bullshit. Need I remind you of that legislation that he signed in Israel? The one where we were all assured would only target people posting "offensive content" on private property?
Well I guess someone didn't get the memo about his loosely defined legislation, since it was recently used to successfully prosecute a neo nazi for dangling a swastika from a highway overpass. Which for the slow-witted among us is NOT private property. And just in case you were thinking of saying "fuck him, he's a nazi", just remember how quickly certain establishment activists moved the goalposts after targeting Richard Spencer to start calling more and more people "nazis"... Alex Jones... Donald Trump... Bernie Sanders... even people like yourself.
Despite the plusses I can ascribe to DeSantis (and there are many), I feel vindicated in my months long assertion that he is not the guy for the job. Not now, perhaps not ever, not if he's going to open the door on further weakening of the first amendment. And having been present in Australia to see the fallout of their GST rollout decades ago, I am under no illusion as to what his stated tax amendments will do to small and independent business owners along with much of the middle class of America, further stymying an already butchered Biden economy.
I've seen his shit play out before. Not again thanks.
I don't know what you are talking about but Herman is, without question, correct. Ron DeSantis would have made the best president of any GOO candidate.
DeSantis needs to "mature" a bit.
I'm one of those people who firmly believe that we dont need ANY more laws passed, EVER. What we need is a civil war with millions dead.
Quote from: Oerdin on October 24, 2023, 11:00:55 AMI don't know what you are talking about</snip>
Of course you don't, that's why you are stubbornly driving with DeSantis. If you had your way, right over the edge of a cliff, Thelma and Louise style. That tax plan of his was more or less the exact self-same tax plan offered up in the late eighties by the Labour Party in Australia... progressives in other words. And it should come as no surprise how that ended up for Aussies, not that your pie-eyed fanboi appreciation for "Do-No-Wrong-DeSantis" will let you see it.
Fact: in the early seventies, two Australian dollars was buying three Greenbacks. There were a numbe of fiscally irresponsible choices made, both by Labour and by Liberal parties, the most acute of which was the introduction of a goods and services tax where the average consumer was expected to wear increased cost of living for a full year before they could claim any of it back on tax, necessitating increased governmental welfare for the taxpaying citizens. End result? People stopped buying shit and stockbrokers voted with their portfolios. By the nineties, two Aussie dollars was lucky to buy one greenback... quite the fall in value if I do say so myself.
And it took a further twenty years for the Aussie dollar to claw its way back to parity with the US dollar, during which time the stores of wealth in the middle class were decimated. That's a forty year economic odyssey in case you weren't counting, with the average man in the street still out of pocket at the end of it. And what progressive fiscal policy did to the average Aussie, you want to do to the yanks now.
"Ahhh, but it's okay" you'll assure me, "my guy has an 'R' after his name, there's no way he would
ever do that to me!" You assclown, you're coming across as blinkered as Joe's efforts to use gold coins as a personal store of wealth in the face of total economic collapse. His tax policy sucks ass harder than any unipartyist's because it is in fact an upward transference of wealth. It doesn't matter if you think you can personally ride it out, the fact is most people cannot and as such, you will be bearing the brunt of their inability to make do for the rest of your myopic life.
Meh, why the fuck am I telling you this... you DeSantis schills have been mooning after what a great guy he is all the harder while his political currency has plummeted and continues to do so. The guy is all but setting the stage to cement the US's status as a banana republic, but you do love your bananas and like any one-eyed loyalist will be squealing and otherwise chimping out how great he is when he and those that come after him are stuffing them up your wrinkly cracked ass.

Funny, I said the exact same thing about Truederp when he was being positioned to run Stephen Herpes out of Wellington Street. Too naive, too ripe for being the puppet of foreign interests. Charisma alone does not necessarily assure you of a solid political hand on the tiller.
I know a lot of people are going to baulk at this, but it is my considered opinion the guy is as much a puppet as Biden clearly is. I strongly suspect that college scandal (potentially along with other things) has been used to blackmail him into policies that he otherwise might not have arrived at, were he armed with fifteen or perhaps twenty years more experience, a spine and a healthy slice of Francois Mitterand moxy to stand up and say "yeah, I fucked her... so what?" Quebecois would likely have gone nuts for that kind of attitude, even if it turned the average Canadian's stomach.
He's dancing to someone else's tune... as is Biden. His oratory skills, peerless in the wake of the lone gunman attack of the houses of parliament, now seem tired and flat... but worse than this, he is finally revealed for the schill I suspected he would become long ago.
Trouble is, with Canadian politics being as corrupt as they are, I don't hold out much hope for an improvement once you poor bastards kick him out. But I am fully expecting others to champion their particular groovy guy, and to get all grumpbum and surly when said hero turns out to be just as fucked as those who preceeded him.

I think most Liberals want Trudeau to go as most Democrats want Biden to leave as well but. like most politicians they get too comfortable too power hungry to enjoy the perks so they overstay their welcome
Some other examples are Diane Feinstein in California and Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the USSC
Trudeau reminds me if a White version of Obama. No wonder they like each other so much

The whole idea was to cause a messy primary. Well, they kind of got what they were after, but it didn't have the knock on effect of burying Trump that they expected. Quite the opposite in fact.
And you know what? I was okay with DeSantis, until the house bill he signed in Israel which already is being abused. His stated tax plan came later, but only cemented my opinion that he was not a guy anyone other than someone hellbent on kicking the US to the kerb would ever want to see as POTUS. That goes for overseas observers too; the US is effectively the standard by which other nations fiscal worth is measured. Crippling the US economy in the manner DeSantis has planned would likely be a precursor to cries to decouple from the greenback and hitch the wagons to an alternate economy like BRICS.
I don't relish the idea myself, hence why I would not vote for DeSantis. The guy has done some great things, it is true. But he's also telegraphed some incredibly irresponsible ones too, ones that have far wider reaching implications than some here would care to admit.

I'm not saying you're wrong but joe six pack doesnt usually sort through the details like that. Most of my family live in Florida now and Floridians absolutely love DeSantis, mainly because he has been a bulwark against liberal rot and decay. In a world where we see degeneracy abound, DeSantis has taken a bold stand.
Where he fucked up was when he listened to his handlers and dipped his toe into "ORANGE MAN BAD" territory. He's fortunate it didnt affect his popularity in Florida much.

Agreed, and agin he's done some amazing work in that regard. However keeping one state happy is far from pleasing fifty, or even a sizeable percentage thereof.
We'll see of course, but the way the aggregated polls are on the federal stage at the point of writing, voter ambivalence for a DeSantis ticket will all but assure the Democrats a plausible "victory" in 2024. Maga populist inclined voters will desert the republicans at the ballot box just as Bernie Bros deserted the democrats in 2016. Sure, you'll see a bunch of the DeSantis faithful on the couch if Trump is on the ticket, but in a party where Grove Cleveland Mk II is creaming the combined total of every other candidate vying for in-party support, the effect is practically marginal.
And this is based on the assumption some asshole doesn't invoke war powers and scotch the 2024 election entirely. I wouldn't put it past the bastards to be honest, just as I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn DeSantis's advisors are doing their level best to yoke him to the Elite wagon on a whole lot more besides taxation policy and free speech.

A federal appeals court has issued a limited temporary block on a Florida law that bans citizens of China from buying property in the state that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said was needed to counteract the "malign influence" of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in his state.
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an order on Feb. 1 that temporarily halts enforcement of a law called SB 264, or the Interests of Foreign Countries Act, with respect to two out of five plaintiffs who sued Florida over the law, claiming unconstitutional discrimination.
SB 264 was signed by Mr. DeSantis on May 8, 2023, and it was almost immediately challenged in court by four Chinese citizens residing in Florida and a real estate brokerage firm primarily serving Chinese and Chinese American clients.

Apegirl will be lighting his hair on fire when gender mutilation of kids is illegal again in Florida.
https://www.theblaze.com/news/desantis-makes-reporter-regret-concern-mongering-about-floridas-fight-to-save-kids-from-sex-changes?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20240613ActiveTrending&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement&tpcc=email-breaking
Florida passed legislation in 2023 to protect children from the ravages of the sex-change regime. In addition to banning the execution of genital mutilations on minors and the prescription of sterilizing puberty blockers to children, the Sunshine State also made the provision of such transmogrifying procedures or drugs a felony.
The work by Republican lawmakers and Gov. Ron DeSantis to protect children was temporarily undone Tuesday by Robert Hinkle, a Clinton-nominated federal judge.
Hinkle claimed in his ruling that "gender identity is real" and argued that the provision of drugs long been used to chemically castrate sex offenders amounted to "proper treatment" — despite the growing understanding among medical professionals in the West that so-called gender-affirming care is a barbaric and unscientific practice whose victims rarely if ever can provide proper consent.
Hinkle's arguments were reminiscent of those made by fellow Clinton Judge B. Lynn Winmill, who in December prevented Idaho's ban on child sex changes from going into effect. Winmill, whose decision was reversed by the U.S. Supreme Court, cited as legitimate the guidelines provided by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which was exposed earlier this year in leaked internal documents as a purveyor of destructive pseudoscience.
When Gov. DeSantis made clear that Florida would appeal the decision, a reporter concern-mongered about the potential cost of the appeal.
The reporter said, "Your office told us that you plan to appeal the gender-affirming ruling from yesterday. So my question ... since we're talking about the budget of taxpayer dollars, why should taxpayer dollars go to this case for the appeal?"
DeSantis did not mince words in his reply.
"Because it's wrong to mutilate minors! It is wrong," said Gov. DeSantis. "It is wrong to perform a sex change on a 16-year-old. You're not allowed to get a tattoo but somehow you can have your privates cut off?"
"Give me a break," continued DeSantis. "This is wrong. And I would also say this has already been decided by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. They upheld Alabama's law, which was almost identical to Florida's law."
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Jan. 11 that Alabama's ban on adolescent sex change mutilations could remain in effect. The state's Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall said at the time, "This is a significant victory for our country, for children, and for common sense."
DeSantis stressed, "This will be reversed. There's no question it'll be reversed."

DeSantis blasted a reporter Thursday for her apparent desire, and that of the broader media, to attack President-elect Donald Trump and give blameworthy Democratic leaders a pass in their coverage of the Golden State's devastating fires.
A day after holding a closed-door meeting in Washington, D.C., with Republican senators, Trump hosted a dinner for 22 of America's 27 Republican governors at Mar-a-Lago, where he discussed various matters, including manufacturing concerns, the possible purchase of Greenland, the late President Jimmy Carter's funeral, and the fires in California. Following the dinner, DeSantis and several of his peers fielded questions from the press.
One reporter asked whether it was "appropriate" for a president or president-elect to criticize Newsom at this time.
The reporter was apparently prickled by Trump's commentary this week on Truth Social. In a post on Wednesday, the president-elect said, "Gavin Newscum and his Los Angeles crew have contained exactly ZERO percent of the fire. It is burning at levels that even surpass last night. This is not Government. I can't wait till January 20th!"
In a subsequent post, Trump highlighted Newsom's apparent culpability, writing:
Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn't work!), but didn't care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid.
DeSantis, not buying the holier-than-thou setup, responded to the reporter, "Is it appropriate for people in your industry to try to create division and to try to create narratives any time these things happen?"
Liberal media outfits previously rushed to politicize Hurricane Milton in October, pestering DeSantis about taking phone calls from Kamala Harris while he was busy working with the White House, federal agencies, and his own people on relief efforts.
"Now you're not as interested in doing that because Newsom is a D," continued DeSantis. "If Newsom was a Republican, you guys would go — you would have him nailed to the wall for what they're doing over there. And I know we've dealt with it. We just assume in Florida, any time something happens, it's gonna be politicized by the media. So you guys sitting in judgment of Donald Trump — I mean, excuse me, I think your track record of politicizing these things is very, very bad."
The Florida governor emphasized that the media has a double standard when covering natural disasters, displacing blame when Democratic leaders are involved or even culpable and ascribing blame when a Republican is in charge.

We are already on the verge of moving imports of goods to Florida. The left coast is a bonafide shit show. You know everything there has to be electrified soon, right?
Best case, they leave the union, then we invade and kill em all, including them lazy fukin injuns who run tax free casinos. Problem solved!
Quote from: formosan on January 13, 2025, 10:40:42 AMThere is a movement to have British Columbia, Washington state, and Oregon form a nation called Cascadia..
I suppose it could include at least parts of California as well.
Have these movers and shakers heard of a thing called "Cascade Failure"? By all means, form your little empire, rope-a-dope Commiefornia into the equations, but be sure and do it before the next Big One.
That way when California slides into the ocean, the cost of rehousing the refugees falls on someone other than the US of A and Canada. Sound like a plan?

Which ceases to be a consideration once the civilized parts of the US take back the Panama Canal and potentially annexing Greenland.
I think it's a great idea, it can be yet one more example of "real socialism hasn't been tried yet" and a timely reminder to the sane of just how far down the toilet bowl that Marxism can take you. And yeah, I'm fully aware that it sounds unnecessarily cruel to not save these demented lunatics from themselves; the libertarian in me says "fuck 'em, let 'em find out the hard way" because attempting to reason with them is only causing the rest of us go backwards.
I'm not tired of winning yet. Moar win please.

I thought Greenland becoming a US territory was just Trump bluster. It could happen in this term. There is support for it among the people of Greenland too.

I don't know enough about the movement to say if they have taken into consideration California's seismic activity.

Even if that isn't the aim, triggering a successful seccessionist movement within Greenland opens up a world of opportunity for both the US and Greenland. That may be what Trump is aiming for. Tarl Warwick (https://rumble.com/v69avo1-tuesday-live-greenland-annexation-egg-shortage-la-fires.html) seems to think so.
Claiming an interest in annexing it could be an opening gambit - it sure would fit Donald's MO of being a negotiator. Start with the Big Ask, barter the other party to an agreement that contains most or all of what you actually want. The US doesn't actually
need Greenland to be a state, not if they are sympathetic to business dealings and out from under the boot of the EU. Same holds true for Panama and Canada, in case anyone was thinking of going "REEEEE" over some of his other "Big Asks" in recent weeks.

I still have investments in Canada. I would love for Canada to at least adopt the US greenback with some sort of economic union.
Quote from: Shen Li on January 14, 2025, 11:39:39 PMI still have investments in Canada. I would love for Canada to at least adopt the US greenback with some sort of economic union.
I'm wondering if that's such a good idea. When the petrodollar was riding high, sure. But Biden has fucked over the Sauds something fierce during his tenure and if there's one thing the Sauds and their nappyheaded ilk despise it's the breaking of agreements. Granted, Biden is one man; so is Trump and so is anyone that comes after. From a Saudi perspective that means they cannot rely on long term US cooperation, subject as it is to the whims of any random yahoo that assumes the Commander In Chief role. Therefore, the future of the greenback isn't as assured as it might have otherwise been and any attempt at an economic union comes with hazards. The EU would be loath to trumpet those.
You still get to measure the worth of the loonie against the greenback on the stockmarket. Agreed, its not an ideal arrangement either, but you at least are shielded in part from some of the worst fuckwittery we saw unfolding in the last administration. And that kind of shit will return someday. Swings and roundabouts Shen, swings and roundabouts.
(effectively the US agreeing to support the Sauds with military assistance in return for all

I am sure there was always some grumblings about the government of Denmark not giving them enough autonomy.

Particularly once Denmark started taking its marching orders from Brussels and the Swedish Gollum as to the stunning amount of mineral wealth they were forbidden to dig up from under their own feet. Because you just know there's enough lithium (aka "Tesla T") under the ice to put an almighty ding in the PRC's balance of trade.

Similar to the situation of resource rich provinces in Canada.

More or less. We can but hope for a more aggressive push against globalism, particularly that delightful variety of fuckface who would think nothing of say, sending an aircraft on an international flight to retrieve a fucking hat while coaching the rest of us to turn off all unnecessary appliances *and even quite a few necessary ones) and eat processed bug bars because cows fart.
I'm not advocating we turn the entire planet into a smoky pit to fund our lifestyle mind you, but I doubt that's what is in store for us. I find it laughably disingenuous that a scientific discipline which cannot get tomorrow's weather right can nonetheless assure us of the fiery pits of Hades we are authoring 100 years hence and demand we employ the most severe measures of austerity to avoid that which we none of us will be around to feel foolish about when it fails to come to pass. In my lifetime I have heard dozens of doomsday predictions and have lived through enough of them without seeing them happen, so... fuck it?
And I note with interest that I am not alone in my conclusion. Plenty of rich bastards who are telling the rest of us to do without are buying up prime beach front real estate and islands left and right. It seems to me that they hold as much faith in The Science™ of Manmade Climate Change (aka "oogah fucken boogah") as I suspect there rightfully should be... that is to say "none". With so many of them of a leftist, communistic bent, I'm increasingly of the opinion that for as long as they aren't compelled to walk the walk of their own accord, I am safe to assume there is no pressing need for me to pick up their slack, no matter how much finger wagging and alternate forms of sperging out the Greta Von Doomsburg gollums dish up.
And you know what? I could very well be in error, reasoning as I do along these lines. Good luck in proving it to me though. Countless people have tried, it's like a religion to them. And I don't do faith.
I am embarrassed that some blue collar people don't tune out when those do as I say not as I do rich assholes berate them to consume less.
