We are here because we discuss uncomfortable truths. We accept things as they are, and not as we would wish them to be.
Since the original innocuous tweet 48 hours ago, from a private account, which did not even use the name “Trump,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been absolutely silent about the illicit FBI raid on the home of Florida citizen and former President Donald J Trump. DeSantis is showing us all who he really is; but are you willing to accept it?
The raid on President Trump’s home is a moment for all to stand and take a position. On the day after the raid, much like the entire DC Decepticon establishment, Ron DeSantis hid in the bunker and kept quiet. No tweets. No appearances. Nothing that would create a situation where he would have to enter this ‘time of choosing.’ This is what politicians do. This is what Nikki Haley does. Avoiding controversy is not what war time leaders do.
On the second day after the raid, again with the politics of the issue as the dominating consideration, DeSantis releases a recording of a statement as Florida schools begin to open for the fall semester. Again, avoiding any situation where he would be asked to take a position on the raid. Please take note and pay attention. These are the moments that matter, the examples that show the true intents and motives of political leaders.
DeSantis is doing what he has been advised to do.
The silence of DeSantis is deafening.
DeSantis’ supporters, cheerleaders, GOPe promoters and sycophants will ignore it, but deep in their psyche they know what I am saying is true.
Ron DeSantis is a good governor for the state of Florida and has many attributes that make him important for a host of reasons, but this is not a war-time general. Ron DeSantis is a politician.
Accept things as they are, not as you would wish them to be. Because this is the same man that many people would select to face the greatest enemy to our republic. DeSantis is showing us right now that he does not possess the courage, desire in scale, or ability to fight the enemy we face in this battle.
DeSantis is a good finisher, a good maintainer, a good and solid ally who operates well when surrounded by the fortune of an aligned legislative body; but he is not yet the weapon that can stop the corrupt UniParty enemy within our republic.
There are moments that show the character of the politicians in the club apparatus. The pathetic and embarrassing Ted Cruz speech at the 2016 RNC nominating convention was one of those moments. The response, or lack thereof, to an illegitimate FBI raid on the personal home of the leader of the republican party is yet another.
Accept things as they are, you will be far less disappointed later on.
Looks like Turning Point USA is pushing him as a headliner at upcoming rallies.
There was a reason why TPUSA produced a straw poll without Trump as an option.
So now TPUSA is the enemy too?
I’m not sure I’d interpret it that way. You could interpret it that they were supporting someone they’d partnered with or are just plain DeSantis supporters. All kids of political groups do this – it’s the point of straw polls.
its the fact that it felt good for another person to fight for us like PDJT did, so people are having a hard time understanding why Governor DeSantis isnt breathing fire for one of his citizens being attacked.
if he cant protect his own citizen, that is high profile, and easily spoken about – then what can he do for us?
there has to be a reason he is stalling. fear is my guess. he knows he is NEXT.
we are way past relying on people that demonstrate FEAR. we cant afford to lose many more political battles.
Turn the clock back 6 or 7 years and tell me who your incorruptible allies were at the time.
My own list has been shredded.
Ain’t it the truth.
Ain’t that the truth.
Yeah, that list looks like a who’s who of criminal Washington politicians now.
TPUSA has always been slimy. They’re great at what they do, they pump out REPUBLICANS, but they don’t pump out conservatives.
It is a grift.
Any organization that tells you replacing a republican with a republican is the answer for conservatives isn’t on the right side of things…
As to whether or not that makes them the enemy is a personal question each person has to answer for themselves.
As I read more and see that Charlie Kirk has his nose firmly in DeSantis’ butt (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-hit-campaign-trail-rally-support-trump-endorsed-candidates-unite-win?intcmp=tw_fnc) I’m starting to think yes, Turning Point is the enemy. Kirk called DeSantis “America’s Governor”. Sounds like someone is preparing for a 2024 run.
Who funds Turning Point?
get our economy strong, and back to 1 income covering a family. and people wont be whor$s for money in the future.
Look who else is speaking at TPUSA…https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/turning-point-action-host-unite-win-rally-az-fl-gov-ron-desantis-trump-endorsed-kari-lake-trump-endorsed-blake-masters-august-14th/…are their noses up Charlie Kirk’s butt too?
Who are you referring to? Kari Lake? Kari Lake is unproven. She might very well have her nose up DeSantis’ butt too.
It appears Kirk is marketing DeSantis as the replacement for Trump. I’m not sure Trump is on board with this, and we’ll only know if Trump actually endorses DeSantis. Right now we know DeSantis is popular because of Trump, not in spite of. DeSantis probably wouldn’t have won his Florida Governor race without Trump’s endorsement. (He barely won!) It appears Kirk and DeSantis are now making the rounds of the country to raise DeSantis’ popularity and position him as a better alternative to Trump. If that’s indeed what they are doing then f these guys. And if Kari Lake is part of it then f her too.
Eric, you have been around a long time, and are known to be full of effort and great.
Step back for a second, and ask yourself why Governor DeSantis is not addressing it like Kari Lake is..
is it because he is being safe? smart? political? savy?
He’s being a coward and opportunist.
He is being overly cautious and guarded. Not what America First needs right now.
We need bold fighting leadership.
Charlie Kirk swears up and down he is loyal to Trump all the way.
I want to know if Trump gave his blessing for Kirk and DeSantis to travel around the country rallying for Trump-endorsed candidates, or if they are just more backstabbers who leverage Trump’s popularity and power for their own gain.
I want Trump to announce his 2024 candidacy soon. If DeSantis then announces that he’s a candidate too we’ll know exactly who DeSantis is.
Spoiler alert!
I thought the straw poll was DeSantis and Trump? Even jack Poso said that’s the poll they were taking. Trump won. But you’re saying their was another poll? 😱
Yes, they did another poll and excluded Trump but strangely added Don Jr. Remove the XXX at the beginning of this URL: XXX
Urrgggh. I tried to not have this site show the full tweet, I just wanted to include the link. Sorry.
Thanks! First reply on that link “fake poll, Nikki Haley wins” 🤣🤣🤣 don’t make the cry. Btw- why do you put the “xxx” before the link?
I wanted to avoid having the full tweet show up in this comment section, I wanted to just provide a link that you could copy and paste into a browser.
that poll could have been titled. Which person looks the most similar to PDJT
Are you thinking of the CPAC poll which included both Trump and DeSantis.
TPUSA hijacked Biblical Citizenship by Patriot Academy. They prefer the watered down Hillsdale College 1 hr constitution class where no one learns anything. They had to take over Biblical Citizenship because it’s too important. They’re the RINOs in training. Highly recommend the REAL Biblical Citizenship 8 week class… you need it to know your rights and history. Do it away from TPUSA. Away from FACL Foundations Approved Conservative Leadership. they’re vetting to see who is dangerous. You’ve been warned.
FACL, you are the only person I have seen mention it. I think they are BS.
I’m with you, Sundance. Right now, on the playing field, there is no one who can replace Donald Trump. We need leadership more than anything.
Prayers to the Almighty God to raise up champions.
people are looking for a Presidential candidate, when in truth you are seeing a George Washington forming before your eyes.
Who are you referring to?
Cuckservative Charlie Kirk is bankrolled by Foster Friess’ family riches. He must adhere to his paymasters’ wishes. Same for Ben Shapiro and the Ricketts family.
I see Turning Point has been making some big money ever since Trump was elected. And now it appears Kirk is promoting DeSantis, not Trump. What a weasel. Fair-weather friend.
Just because he’s speaking at their events doesn’t mean he’s being ensored. When did paranoia become a republican thing? You do realize that it’s republican voters funding TPUSA? I thought we were supposed to fund our own things?
It’s not paranoia. It’s a logical conclusion drawn from available facts and past knowledge.
TPUSA got som fat donations from some very wealthy people, including $1,125,000 from the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Foundation. Who are the Perlmutters? If you cannot tell me, then you have no idea if TPUSA is MAGA or not.
Beware of Jack Posobiec as well. They all want to be the new right, the new media, and in the inner circle for power and control. Really they are no different from MSM, but people can’t see it.
Who “can’t see it”? I follow Jack Posobiec and so far so good. He’s pro Trump and America 1st.
I am aware of them all.
There are so many people riding on Trump’s coattails for their own benefit. Oh my gosh we could make a gigantic list. Sessions was the worst, absolute worst, he’s the reason for the incredibly wasteful and damaging Mueller “investigation”.
But look who else are headliners…sheesh…
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/turning-point-action-host-unite-win-rally-az-fl-gov-ron-desantis-trump-endorsed-kari-lake-trump-endorsed-blake-masters-august-14th/
Just name them, I don’t feel like reading a messy article.
TPUSA were plugging DeSantis headlining and heavy plugged it after raid.
It wasn’t hard to miss.
DeSantis is good, right now, for the state of Florida. Not ready for the United States of America.
He’s yet to take the punches Trump has.
He will.
Who is telling him what to do?
I just read who the big donors are to DeSantis and who else they donate to. It gives an idea who he is beholden to. Opensecrets.org helps.
Ken Griffin was particularly interesting. He donated to many Democrats and the Rino Republicans.
Julia Koch. Neither Koch or Griffin supported or donated to Trump. Just two here and it doesn’t get prettier.
I point to DeSantis doner list frequently… Brown and Brown, CFR, Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Koch Brothers.
I’m told I am a troll. 🙄
I’ve been referred to as a troll too many times to count.
Truth has no agenda.
The Uniparty ie Cabal does.
People must realize we are in a WAR, those you trust will turn out to be the very worst, betrayal is hard to swallow.
There will be many more RINOs that are ‘unmasked’ in the near future.
Are people really ready for the TRUTH?
Everyone seems to have their own version of TRUTH and go on the attack against those who don’t agree. I happen to agree with you, but when I’ve expressed those thoughts, I’ve been attacked. Not as much now as earlier on in this slow motion coup, but still there are many on the Right who are focused on VOTING HARDER only for Trump and everyone else is the enemy.
Pretty smart troll
The truth is just that, the truth.
Ken Griffin is upset because the Illinois Governor candidate he funded so heavily ($50 million) lost the primary. Richard Irvin, who is on record supporting Black Lives Matters. The guy who won is MAGA.
Irvin came out directly and said all lives matter. Bailey was funded by Pritzker and the Democrats. Irvin is Black and had the support of law enforcement. He was a dangerous opponent. Bailey is the typical Illinois Republican that loses, an old white guy.
He can’t take it back after he said it!
Just want to point out the bottom of that initial screen. People Who Play By The Rules PAC was created by Dan Proft, a Republican. So the claim that Bailey was funded by Pritzker isn’t entirely true. If Dems paid for attack ads on Irvin, this particular one I posted isn’t one of them.
Well Griffin is relocating his company Citadel to Miami so…
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/ken-griffin-makes-wall-street-south-in-miami-a-reality/2022/06/23/e590efc6-f328-11ec-ac16-8fbf7194cd78_story.html
So he can try to influence politics there. He has a lot of competition.
Trump hadn’t taken the punches either, until he did……. no potential person is ready, until they are the POTUS…… so that’s a stupid argument….. DeSantis would be a superb president.
Agree!
Trump took punches dealing with NY politicians as an outsider.
DeSantis will be another bushie.
Perish the thought!
Baseless
LOL!
Trump weathered loads of punches the minute he announced.
Meygan Kelly, Pussy Gate, Cruz’s speech, Stormy, goodness there are so many more.
DeSantis’ silence is very very telling.
Why is DeSantis mute on MAL?
We need President Trump to clear the battlefield of the DC Swamp before we move on to another candidate.
Nope. He just proved himself unworthy yesterday. Trump 2024!!
No way – not even close – DeSantis would get eaten alive by the swamp creatures or become a part of it.
What kind of economic acumen or world experience does DeSantis have? None.
https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-ne-desantis-trum-fbi-raid-mar-a-lago-20220809-wn4dzd6ao5el7bmn3es4nlvaca-story.html
I say something to this effect often… Look at his voting record in DC, now look at the image he sells himself as today.
They don’t match up.
He has an actual record in Florida, and it’s pretty good. McConnel’s machine controls the votes, you vote the way he says or you are out. Desantis decided to get out.
He was a congressman not a senator…
The RINOs.
☝️🤣 I agree that Desantis is a politician, but he stands his ground under fire. He is standing out of the firing ranging, watching to see what happens. I get it. Trump is taking fire & fighting back like a warrior. I don’t think he needs Desantis right now & he may have told Ron to keep his head down.
I think they know that Trump has some incriminating evidence on someone big. He is holding that evidence on someone for the right time.
I am unwilling to quit on Desantis because he has proven that he is willing to stand up to the lunatics. Many conservatives are too willing to destroy good people because they don’t act “how they should as fast as they should”.
DeSantis is doing easy stuff right now. I don’t think he could survive the kinds of attacks Trump has been the victim of. And I think DeSantis knows he can’t, so he’s walking the line.
So DeSantis only scores 450/500 on the political PT test. Pfft. Big deal. He did condemn it, just not as much as some would like. Move on; this is not the obsession people need to nurture unless they just purely enjoy head-hunting.
Agreed!
https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-ne-desantis-trum-fbi-raid-mar-a-lago-20220809-wn4dzd6ao5el7bmn3es4nlvaca-story.html
NO to “move on”.
DeSantis (with help from his pal Charlie Kirk) is positioning himself for a 2024 presidential run, as a better alternative to Trump.
I can’t stand people who use others for their own personal gain.
So I suppose by this logic we have patriotic MAGA Republican governors in any state willing to take a stand against the feds.
Only a handful of MAGA congress critters as well.
And we are going to reform the GOP in 1 or 2 election cycles? Yeah but I don’t think so.
Peaceful reform will come in a few generations if at all IMO. No quick fixes for societal and cultural malaise.
It’s not malaise, Dunes, it is decay and necrosis of the soul.
That’s been the mantra since the Goldwater movement… Yet every two years the keep convincing Republicans to elect more Republicans.
After you see this enough times and if you don’t just get pissed off and walk away from caring… You start to ask which side is the real idiots in this.
The GOP is burned, a husk of a party filled with closet RINOs. At this point we have no political party, MAGA will die on the vine just like the TEA PARTY did…..
It’s possible if nobody with the character of Donald Trump rises up to take over after Trump. The more I learn about DeSantis the more I realize he’s not that person.
I like Jim Jordan a lot. Jim Jordan has been very vocal, strongly so, about the raid.
Florida only has one Governor.
I was chatting w/a woman at a GOP meeting and her by estimation is it would take 15-20 years to turn things around by finding and voting in the right candidates. She also added that calculation would be under normal circumstances and that we don’t live in normal times anymore. I seriously doubt I will be around in 15 years to see the GOP ever turn around should it be even possible, and I know I will never see my country be what it once was. I am so grateful for the era I grew up in.
It won’t take that long.
Voters wasted 4 years already. Lost the House majority to the Dems in 2018, lost the Senate in 2020.
If everyone is on the same page about voting we can see significant improvement in 4-6 years. My suggestion is to work hard to oust RINOs during the primaries and then vote all-GOP in general elections to achieve or maintain majorities, even if it means you have to vote for RINOs in the general elections. And there are more things to do, like never let a RINO run unopposed in a primary, there needs to be some alternative to vote for. etc etc
it is usually prudent to keep one’s mouth shut if one doesnt know facts about a subject.
This started in 2015, that is plenty of time to learn the facts.
I will say it again and again and again and again: Little Ronnie would not be Governor of Florida right now were it not for TWO TRUMP RALLIES to DRAG HIM ACROSS THE FINISH LINE AND HE BARELY WON! It was also PDJT who convinced him to run for Governor in the first place.
Little Ronnie is showing who he really is. Easy to be a badass when you only have ONE STATE to deal with. How many of the Florida legislature is there because of PDJT?
Plus FL still has vote flipping machines?
Yes, still there.
You aren’t kidding. DeSantis 49.6%, Gillum 49.2%
I think what he’s doing for Fla is fantastic and by proxy doing us all a favor by standing up against the machine. I’m not ready to criticize him because we need all of the good leadership we can get right now. I do however respect your decision and can appreciate your point of view.
You miss the point. No one is saying he isn’t a great governor. He just isn’t ready or trustworthy as presidential candidate for America First – to many ties to The Club.
I hv posted this before and will do it again and hopefully it will get attention. He may not be the strength tht you are looking for but there is a reason to his demeanor. Last month I attended a social gathering for Republicans. Big donor attendees. I got a real uneasy feeling. Noticed a lot of deep state people. Cant say who was there because of this format but major and big money. During some conversations noticed they were desantis supporters and in denial of fraud election. A couple of months ago his wife spoke at a Republican luncheon. Low a behold he was in another room and out he came with huge applause. He was meeting with big donors I think in secret. This is no coincidence, the deep,state is,planning on destroying trump and desantis is their man. I think he could be the Judas. Worse than Pence. If you notice Trump isn’t enthralled with him. If they don’t destroy Trump I hope he runs, wd love to see Kari be his VP! We can only hope and pray.God help us
See below wrote before read yours … as they say there are no coincidences in politics ..
You’re right. In straw polls Trump has overwhelmingly trumped DeSantis. The media claimed it was because DeSantis doesn’t have name recognition. I don’t think that’s true but now the media is cheerleading him and giving him name recognition for sure. He also ditched out (along with Abbott) on the NRA conference after Uvalde. I like what he’s done in Florida but we need a fighter, we need Trump, he’s proven himself.
Don’t forget the Mike Flynn angle out there just foaming at the mouth. He fancies himself with DeSantis. God forbid.
Thanks for the info. That uneasy feeling was the evil in that room.
I am now back to a statement I made when I left the insiders game back in 1990 and it’s only gotten worse since then-
“If Jesus Himself came back as President He cannot fix the machine that is the US Government”
So – it must be tore down completely and as long as there is so much money and power at stake it won’t be easy.
Is it possible that Ron was going to be the Ted CRuz of 2024 ? He outted himself early as a “controlled” Politician – staying in the safe zone on this but spouting MAGA slogans when there is no danger …
I think you’re on to something. There were many secret donor meetings with Cruz behind Trump’s back when Trump was the nominee. I recall being so disheartened on learning some of the people involved. I suspect this could be the same kind of deal.
Given the methods of yesteryear’s politicians, I’m somehow grateful Trump is still alive….which always brings me to when he had COVID-19. I wondered if he had been poisoned at the time.
According to Steve Bannon that is a Roger that Trump was made ill.
Think Tim Scott…
I think he’s a great governor.
Yet that doesn’t make him a great or Pro football player..
The silence should bother you. It happened in his state.
Not to say anything is not to do anything. My opinion of it is he should be pissed and speaking out about it.
Maybe he needs a few more years and another Trump Presidency to learn a little more . 🤷🏼♂️
Or maybe he’s acting like Trump but has some strings attached….
Dunno..🤷🏼♂️ Good food for debate.
It happened in his state.
That is VERY important.
Especially when this outrageous FBI raid happened in his State, neighbor and “friend” tht supported his campaign and helped him get elected. He should Hv come out swinging for Trumps mistreatment. Yes he has been a terrific Governor but sadly disappointing on this. GOP is behind him big time. Just don’t see Trump hvg him as VP . Kari Lake wd be the dream team!
Remember how outraged he was when people were banned by Twitter?
Well, well, well. I remember fighting TCTH headwinds against Putnam in the R primary. I was a shill, a RINO-supporting POS. Uh huh.
DeSantis was the godlet and great hope that PDJT endorsed, a breath of hope and MAGA. Putnam, the scion of Old Florida, was a loser RINO POS.
Surely.
LMAO.
Frankly Trump’s endorsements bother me. He had such a horrible record of picks while pres that anyone he endorses gives me pause. If Desantis proves another Brutus it speaks just as much for Trump’s capacity to separate wheat from chaff as it does Desantis being a sellout.
Really? I thought Trump picked some very good and effective people for the jobs that he had full control over.
Senate blocked a lot of the folks who would have been good.
Really? Who did you really like? Everyone from Pence to Sessions to Barr, Mulvaney, Haley, Bolton, Nielsen, Scott, Mattis, Priebus, Scarmucci….the list goes on. Grinell is one of the few good guys, but most of his choices were abysmal.
Sometimes choices are lessor of the evil
Wilbur Ross as Secretary of Commerce, and Steve Mnuchin as Treasury Secretary were both outstanding appointments and were very effective (and loyal) in their performances. I also thought DeVos as Education Secretary was pretty decent. I agree with the negatives about those you mentioned, but I think Trump also made some very good picks. As an outsider, he was unfortunately dependent on listening to establishment insiders for their recommendations. I think he is now much smarter and will make much better informed choices when he enters office again.
Ugh, spren, I don’t know how I forgot about Ross, but I will 100% agree he was excellent. Mnuchin was tepid (and I really dislike his wife) but Wilbur was fantastic. Thank you for the reminder.
As far as advisors go, Peter Navarro is a guy you want in your corner. The mans got heart.
Also Steve Miller
Absolutely
I am certain many came from insider suggestions. People he should have been able to trust. I don’t blame Trump but I sure as hell blame Pence and the organized crime syndicate working both sides of the aisles. The Commander in Chief may change… but the players stay the same.
Our President placed emphasis on the military generals for their discipline and outward show of strength. This was a disappointment at best for him. Generals were unsuited for the agencies to which they were appointed.
Don’t know if Flynn would have worked out. He didn’t have a chance. Obama saw to that.
Each attorney general our President chose was weak. He had high hopes and so did we, for his sake.
Washington, D.C. is a snake pit.
May God bless President Donald J. Trump and keep him in His care.
SENATE!!!!!
Lighthizer, Navarro, Sanders, McEneny, etc. etc.
is Ratliffe / Ratcliffe a patriot?
Who would you have picked, that would have gotten through the Turkeynecks confirmation circus?
Miya- Below is a brief recap of why President Trump was ambushed by his own party as well as by the leftwing jackals, forcing him into making appointments that the Senate preferred over his own preferred choices.
The Russia Collusion Hoax was well planned and synchronized for the purpose of waylaying his presidency
They struck first prior to the 2016 election with poorly corroborated allegations (embarrassingly so!) that Russia hacked into DNC servers to humiliate Dems and favor Trump.
Then after the election, there was an Obama executive order that required all federal agencies to share intelligence and prepare a report into Russia “interference” (a word that was never defined clearly in a legal sense!), to be completed by the end of December 2016. Then in Jan. 2017 (days and even hours prior to inauguration) the results of the combined intelligence agencies reportedly revealed that Russia did, indeed, hack into DNC servers (no real evidence was ever demonstrated!), but this time they also concluded (without corroboration) that Russia’s “interference” (again, this word was also never defined!) was intended to help Donald Trump.
Then, as Trump entered office the FBI began to investigate whether Trump had also “colluded” with Russia to defeat Hilliary Clinton ( this word was also never defined !). Then, Michael Flynn, named as National Security Advisor, engaged in a routine call with his Russian counterpart which was illegally surveilled, then Flynn was interviewed by the FBI that, at first, had claimed he did not lie in that interview, but later altered the report to say he did. Flynn was thus unfairly fired.
Apparently, Miya, you weren’t paying attention because in the first weeks of the Trump administration, the DOJ and the FBI began selective leaks to the media to raise suspicions of Trump Russia “collusion” ( this word was never defined in a legal sense), and (HERE IS THE IMPORTANT POINT, MIYA), THE FBI BEGAN SECRET BRIEFINGS OF CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS TO INFORM THEM OF THEIR INVESTIGATIONS IN ORDER TO RAISE SUSPICIONS THAT TRUMP MIGHT BE INDICTED FOR RUSSIA COLLUSION ( this word was never defined in a legal sense).
Then, Trump’s own party began to view him as a possible criminal and traitor with likely impeachment to follow (all behind his back!). Congress thus began to dictate to the President what his options were regarding appointments. These would be individuals that RINO leaders could trust to work against the forty-fifth president who was, unbeknownst to him, being investigated by the FBI for collusion (again, a word that was still never defined in a legal sense!!), although specifically Congression leaders DID KNOW, AND THEY ACTED OUT THEIR ANGER AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IN THE MOST UNFAIR WAY SO AS NOT TO RAISE SUPICIONS THAT THEY THEMSELVES WERE INVOLVED IN ANY WAY IN RUSSIA COLLUSION (A WORD THAT WAS NEVER DEFINED IN A LEGAL SENSE!.)
I regret the lengthy and tedious recap that everyone knows by heart. But it is critical to an understanding of why Trump, after firing Sessions as AG, was forced to accept the Senate’s choice, not his own.
The timing of the foregoing is fundamental to an understanding of the depth of the harm the traitorous Deep State inflicted against the Constitution and the American people.
It is only now, seven years later, that the Nation, witnessing the lawless raid at Mar-a-Lago, is finally coming to the realization that Trump was indeed not a criminal. It was rather his accusers that were criminals.
Yet, somehow, miraculously, his four years were immensely successful, and were probably never equaled by any presidency prior to his own.
Would you have preferred Florida have Gillum?
It’s not really a secret that Trump endorses people he thinks can win, even if they’re not MAGA. I wish he wouldn’t lol, but I’m just saying it’s kind of clear ha.
I do not agree these politicians change as they rise up in the food chain the temptations, bribes, blackmail all escalate so where they initially intersect with President Trump may not be the person they become a few years later.
That’s just human nature and in politics it’s amplified.
Of course there are some really bad apples out of the gate but, remember how depressed Sundance got when he went to DC to enlighten the powers there.
The place is a cesspool of corruption and even the city itself is so rundown and depressing besides the little bubble that’s for the swamp creatures.
Trump has been become more savvy but he can not be expected to stop many that drift to the dark side.
On a side note I find it very difficult to even read any criticism at this time about President Trump given all that he has sacrificed and continues to on a daily basis.
President Trump will lose the relationships of dear friends, family members, acquaintances and donors because those that remain loyal to him will be harassed, threatened, blackmailed ect., if they do not sever ties with him.
I have no doubt the files of thousands, associated with President Trump whether in a business, personal or family manner have been assembled and prioritized.
Ivanka and Jarrod Trump have not made a comment as of earlier today and Ivanka’s already testified she never thought there was any voter fraud.
Who knows what Ivanka may have been threatened with but, to have her publicly not support her father surprised me.
Eric Trump has been very openly supportive.
If President Trump does not run I will never criticize or condemn him for it because what he’s dealing with is unimaginable.
I will say though President Trump looks great, certainly not haggard and aged the way most presidents do after serving.
What a patriot the USA 🇺🇸 has been blessed to call our own!
I agree with you that people change and recognize how hard it is to find a good apple in a barrel full of rotten ones. I am a fan of Trump, voted for him twice, but I am concerned about his judgment and am very, very worried that he’s in over his head. I wish he would spend more time exposing things and less time endorsing people who stab him in the back, because it pains me to see how many proverbial stab wounds he already has.
This is getting to a point we may see the man in handcuffs and it will be in no small part because he trusted the wrong people. Just my thoughts.
Concern noted.
eyeroll
Roll your eyes all you want. The AG in New York wants to be president and is currently operating her own investigation. How many head fakes have we gotten? Roll your eyes at shiny MAL while the pit vipers come for him from NYC.
His track record proves his endorsements carry weight.
What’s the problem? Need more RINOs?
President Trump in handcuffs has nothing to do with who he trusted or not.
President Trump has been on the deep states hit list since he came down the escalator.
Deep state has always under estimated President Trump and thrown so much mud at him without succeeding at their goal of ending his political career.
President Trump is not only still enjoying life but willing to jump back into the lion’s den.
My concern is the blatant cheating that went on in 2020, as election night vote counts came in the outrageous, easily proven extra cheating deep state were willing to do to keep President Trump from winning.
That mindset if it’s the same for 2024 what won’t they do to President Trump.
It makes me sick and keep in mind after President Trump read the documents regarding JFK murder he did not release them.
Very well because the harm to our country with that truth.
With technology there’s so many ways to harm a person and how could it be definitively proven.
I hope President Trump has the goods to the extent they can not harm him with jail or his well being but, they want him gone and unlimited resources to keep at it.
No man can peer into another mans heart.
He worked with what they allowed him to have.
PDJT gave many a gracious opportunity to step up and show us who they really are.
I don’t have issues with the vast majority of his endorsements. Most of the candidates are on record, and have pinned their hearts to their sleeves. They have told us explicitly where they stand.
Now It’s up to each individual to step up, and be accountable for their own actions from here on in.
don’t break your arm
Putnam would have been worse for florida. Especially thru covid.
I’m not taking sides here, just making an observation…
Desantis seems to come out guns blazing -with a workable solution in hand to put into action-.
Perhaps his team is doing the heavy lifting to produce an actionable plan for him to roll out to prevent these kinds of abuses in his state? A rock solid winning strategy does not coalesce overnight.
Give him a week or two, and if he never again says Boo, then you know where he stands.
On the other hand, if he trots out a big brassy and solid piece of law to run through the FLA legislature for his signature,
Then you have a wholly different answer.
A state level leader will create solutions that also serve as blueprints for like-minded states to follow. That’s tough when state constitutions differ, and takes a lot of analysis to find what will work somewhat universally. If that’s not possible then a single state solution needs formulation. This stuff takes time.
That’s my 8¢ (inflation, ya know)
Spot on Lurker.
I’m fervently hoping you’re right. I’ve been wildly uncomfortable about DeSantis since his tweet the other night after the raid, and I don’t like this feeling. He does seem to get his ducks in a row before he makes official statements and policies. God, but I need JUST ONE SOLITARY SOUL in government I can trust.
Jahealy, I’m sorry to disabuse you, but the government is the LAST place you’d want to put your trust.
Why do you think our currency says: “In God we trust” Our founders knew better than to trust any other than God.
Has he done anything to get rid of the Dominion (or any other brand for fraud) machines? That is number one or all his good moves and even grandstanding is all for naught.
Cannot argue that point.
You make a good point, but for me it raises questions. What law could the Florida legislature pass to stop this kind of abuse of the federal legal process? What can a Governor actually do about the abusive actions of the FBI? I’m talking about something beyond just criticism.
That’s where the heavy lifting comes in.
In this particular case if sealed warrants were prohibited, that would have helped.
It may also be possible to bar certain federal activity, but I’m not a lawyer nor familiar with the statutes that might apply to the State/Fed. relationships.
I do know that the States retain all powers not expressly granted to the fed in the constitution.
They may retain the power to say: No, sorry fellas you are barred from operating within our state.
(unless we invite you in)… Much like mobilizing the National Guard, which requires a local request for help.
If the feds cannot force the National Guard on a state or locality, then perhaps that’s the key.
I agree, a sternly written letter does not cut the mustard.
Ahoy, dear Ad-Rem… please release my prior comment 2:22am it’s awaiting approval?
I see that my addy has a typo.. oopsie.
Thanks!

Trump Knows what he’s doing…. So does DeSantis …. Mind Yourself, Take Hold, Tend your Homes and Families… Let It Ride the Wind, Full Truth will be as obvious as daylight very soon. Stand By
I pray you’re right … and believe you are.
There is no way Trump would permit himself to be blindsided like this… when he knows the forces of hell seek his destruction… and they certainly do.
It also seems impossible to believe that DeSantis is effectively a traitor which he would be if he has conspired against President Trump, and the nation, especially when he can see how unjust everything that has been done to Trump over 6 years is … and because DeSantis can see the extraordinary danger the nation is in and on multiple fronts.
I guess time will tell… but it’s very difficult for me to be forced into such paranoia that we can trust so FEW to be honest and genuine American patriots.
In other words… Wait, pray, hold faith… And be proven wrong again.
It’s a loosing strategy, but it’s the Republican way.
DeSantis is not impulsive, and I’m sure he is making a plan, going over it, and will reveal it when it is iron clad. We will hear from him, it will be another action that other Red states should follow, and it will impede the FBI.
lI have gotten several emails yesterday and today from DeSantis where he has been very outspoken about the raid – and also asking for support and money to deal with it.
What did he say?
I too am concerned by the grifters that are pushing this guy.
DeSantis has done a lot of good things, but I am very wary of him. His victories do not matter on the national scale. It is concerning that there is only token resistance to him from the propagandists.
“It is concerning that there is only token resistance to him from the propagandists”
Haven’t followed this in detail but IMO worthy of tracking what the Communist mouthpieces do regarding DeSantis.
Your post reminded me of the warrior monk and the practically unanimous approval of the Senate, an anomaly for PDJT. I believed in the monk until putting that into perspective over time. Even cynics can be deceived. Stay frosty. Trust but verify.
“It is concerning that there is only token resistance to him from the propagandists.”
THIS !!!!!!!
Biden along with Jill, Hunter and wife are in Kiawah Island SC tonight. Going to be there for a week while inflation rages, violence off the charts and the borders wide open. Kiawah is known for golf. But it’s highly unlikely Biden will be swinging clubs or riding bikes. At this stage he can’t even dress himself.
It’s sickening that such a depraved man like Hunter goes with Dad on vacation, smile on his face, riding along at taxpayers expense, enjoying all the perks we pay for. All the while he is one of the most despicable men around who pays no consequences for any of his sick, traitorous actions. Gag.
Yes, and equally gagworthy is our sweat, those of us who pay taxes, pays for all this ‘stuff’ surrounding the MAL mission and the rest of the chicanery focused on PDJT, not to mention American citizens in general.
We have choices.
I was reminded tonight how Sarah Palin had to pay the government for bringing her children on trips. This was brought up in a discussion about Piglosi’s son “escorting” ice cream lady to Taiwan. Course, he wasn’t on the official list. Sickening.
I will never look at Air Force One again without thinking about Hunter being in it.
It looked like a pissing contest photo to me.
The porno First family entering Air Force One all smiles taunting President Trump
and supporters.
The porno First family supposedly going on vacation while President Trump is dealing with the raid and who knows what next.
There is no way this has not all been orchestrated.
I will say though I do not believe Hunter or Joe are long for this world so maybe this is their treat before “tragedy strikes.”
Nikki Haley has a place in Kiawah.
Accept things as they are, you will be far less disappointed later on.

“The truth will make you free. But first it will make you miserable …”
I believe Tucker has been awol too. I wanted to see his take.
if I’m wrong please let me know. I’ve noticed Tucker is like a narrator of all the scandals
and Steve Bannon recently complimented him on “documenting” the abuse we are taking.
Not reporting or investigating but documenting.
Trump is also a huge Desantias fan so I think both their absences are tactical. I speculate they are figuring out a way to work or narrate the story properly so their impact and credibility is greatest.
Just someone’s theory who spends a lot of time on it.
Just my theory.
You mean Tucker is a huge DeSantis fan, right? You wrote “Trump,” but I think you meant Tucker.
I think DeSantis does have many similarities to Ted Cruz, although Cruz has become a lot easier to take since he stopped fighting Trump.
Tucker looks out for Tucker. He’s been a preppy GOP cheerleader like Laura Ingraham and NR, a libertarian, he flirted with MAGA, and has been a GOP gatekeeper.
I like Tucker, but understand Tucker is and has always been about what helps Tucker hustle a gig. His recent FOX money makes that less necessary, but Tucker was accustomed to a certain lifestyle but wasn’t the frozen food heir his half brother was – had to make the bucks somehow.
Tucker will give a great, safe, approved monologue after there’s been a consensus this week.
Agreed.
Before everyone jumps on Tucker, I fairly certain he usually takes a weeks vacation in mid-August. Just sayin. Definately bad timing this year!
The demonrats always waited for when Rush was out of town. It was a noticeable pattern.
Yes.
He did go on vacation.
Sometimes you have to cut the vacay short or make a change in plans. Personally, something like the raid of MAL is worthy of taking a day off the vacation schedule in my book. Notice the guy filling was like a Tucker Jr. look alike. I kept waiting for him to bust out in that silly Tucker laugh. It is just too weird the day it happened was the day Tucker was gone. There are no coincidences.
I’m not a big O’Reilly fan, but back in the day he would call into his tv show on the air if something big happened and he was off.
Remember…Tucker gets ratings for Fox. Fox disappointed a lot of us. And ratings took a hit.
Its a TV show masquerading as news, just like the rest of them. TV is supposed to be entertainment, propagandized or otherwise.
When his usefulness is done, there will be a sex scandal. Its the MO, IMHO.
Maybe Tucker’s on vacation. On Don Jr’s instagram page he posted some good pics of Tucker w/President Trump in Bedminster NJ for the Liv Golf tournament. I’m sure once Tucker’s back on air he’ll have a lot to say about the raid.
He is on vacation. Announced it last week.
Desantis wants Trump out of the way so he can run as the “maga” fav and GOPe donor class choice without having to face him.
And you know that how? Or it’s just your opinion?
Sorry, DeSantis delivered a timely and appropriate response in that tweet. He even calls the administration “the Regime,” which is pretty MAGA, and potentially off-putting to moderates. If you don’t like him, you don’t like him, but he hasn’t offered any cause here.
Lol, he put out one tweet.. one, and never talked about the raid again while it’s still what everyone else is talking about.
It’s fine that YOU like him, but don’t be dense.
No way DeSantis did not know that raid was going to happen. Don’t dance with the devils, Ron.
It begs the question: why would he shy away from condemning long and loud this obvious Gestapo tactic. His first statement was one of disgust with the raid. Follow up statements or lack of them to clarify the nature of the threat and his solution for it leave me scratching my head as to his political instincts and more importantly where his heart is – this is not good and the only answer I have is that at the end of the day, the state is all that matters to him. The state as in stasi.
Just like any politician, DeSantis may want to run for president. He may view Trump as an “albatross.” May be distancing from Trump for that reason. While I love Trump and his ideals and courage, he has alienated many Americans. My two middle aged sons are victims of MSM and don’t like Trump. They don’t like the Dems either. If you listen to the MSM, all they do is disparage Trump. If you had no other source of news, you might not like Trump either.
The problem with that rationale though is that you’re basically saying.. Yes, Trump is who the left fears, but let’s give them DeSantis who they don’t hate.
The left wants you dead and you still want to appease them.
So, I suppose the ability to “Think” skips a generation in your family?
And truly, the spinmeisters have alienated the people from Trump… On the flimsiest of pretenses.
Only the ignorant fall for that carp.
Anyone who takes the time to actually comprehend one of Trumps many speeches and comes away hating him needs an emergency brain scan.
I guess I’m fortunate that my son loves President Trump and no, has not alienated many Americans – quite the opposite in fact as he has united many Americans.
he already condemned the raid……. loudly……… however, this turn of events upended his apple cart….. he has to recalibrate his own political plans……. now that the Republican Primary is over and done… and DJT is the Republican 2024 Canididate for President…. thanks to yesterday’s FBI overreach………………. plenty of us were DeSantis fans……. thinking DJT is too old and to self-absorbed…………… that ended yesterday……. so DeSantis has to figure out what his next plan is………
He’s going to be our Governor again hopefully, DeSantis is a great Governor.
I will continue to remind everyone, DeSantis signed a law giving the state of FL the right to force vaccinate its citizens. This is a moral abomination that no real America Firster would have done.
And that famous dont say gay nonsense blocked sex talk with kids only to grade 3? Why stop there? There’s no need for teachers to be talking to kids other than in sex-ed. All the way through HS.
Just on these two moves alone, I pegged DeSantis as another poser. He talks a good game but he’s fully funded by all the people who belong in jail.
Also did nothing about their red flag laws and Florida is currently top 5 in abortions.
What law did he sign to force vaccinate Floridians? I remember that when other states were pushing mandates and fining companies for non-compliance, DeSantis reversed it and fined those establishments who demanded to see vaccination ID cards.
He fought with the cruise ships over this.. and won. They were not permitted to ask their customers for vaccine status.
I have never heard he signed a law forcing vaccinations. He has said that it should be a personal decision.
“DeSantis signed a law giving the state of FL the right to force vaccinate its citizens.”
Show the law reference, otherwise your pushing BS.
Or, point out in this Florida law he initiated where he said that.
https://www.flgov.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/EO-21-81.pdf
June 21, 2021.
A law signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will allow for the Florida Department of Health to forcibly vaccinate Florida residents.
S.B. 2006 was signed into law by DeSantis on May 3, 2021 and immediately hailed as a major victory by many medical freedom advocates.
The law bans so-called “Vaccine Passports” and adds certain restrictions on state and local governments during a declared public health emergency.
****A little known and little spoken of section of the law, which will go into effect July 1, states:
“The state health officer, upon declaration of a public health emergency, may take actions that are necessary to protect the public health.”
Some of these actions include: “Ordering an individual to be examined, tested, vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable diseases that have a significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health.”
Those refusing these actions “may be subjected to isolation or quarantine.”
The most disturbing part is a section beneath which reads, “If the individual poses a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine, if there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use ANY MEANS NECESSARY to vaccinate or treat the individual.”
In the mass frenzy to applaud Governor DeSantis for banning Vaccine Passports, this section of the law was paid little attention.
Notice all former Presidents are silent also!
All the former Presidents are busy trying to plug in their new shredders.
But I get your point. It will be interesting to hear who responds & when.
PDJT has acquired more Street Cred from us regular Americans.
That’s because all of the former President still living are POS.
We’ll keep an eye on DeSantis. He will never have the status that Trump had which was a complete outsider to politics.
DeSantis developed most of his base from Trump supporters. Did he think such a weak statement would satisfy us? We he more interested in satisfying …. other people?
If I lived in Florida I would still vote for him for Florida Governor, no question. But President? I’m already on record stating unequivocally that I want him to back off if Trump runs, and now I’m even more adamant about it.
Also pay attention to DeSantis sycophants like Kurt Schlichter and Jesse Kelly. They had the audacity to say, on the night of the raid, that this was a good reason for Trump to announce he wasn’t running and make room for DeSantis. The night of. Total back stab. I like DeSantis, but there are too many questions about him yet.
Are you kidding me? They said that?? Urrrrghhh. I cannot type here what I just said out loud.
Schlichter = Hannity lite
Schlichter also loves McConnell, although he did give him some criticism about the last bill. His humor is getting old.
Seriously who would be the perfect VP for Trump?
Tulsi Gabbard. She has stronger opinions on this situation than any of the RINOS.
You’re kidding right?
Agree. We need a Kari Lake or MTG.
Rand Paul and Tulsi Gabbard are THE best options we have for VP. Perhaps even for President.
Really?!? She’s WER to the core. She talks a nice game but i don’t trust her at all. She’s hosting Tucker on Friday night. I don’t understand his fascination with her either!
She’s no Kari Lake.
STOP SUPPORTING DEMS. Tulsi Gabbard is a DEMOCRAT.
Donald Trump Jr.
Kari Lake
If she succeeds in November, we’ll have a clearer picture of her metal once in office. Currently there is no quantifiable history as an executive to base an opinion on. MTG, more history, though none executive to my knowledge, at least in the public sphere, though some in her family’s business.
We need to be wary of another Pence but also focused on a good bookend to PDJT. Time has a way of revealing all truths.
Kari Lake – wish everything was that easy
Maria Bartiromo
In my opinion, the perfect Vice President for President Trump would be either James Woods (Hades) or Kevin Sorbo (Hercules).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woods
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Sorbo
Thomas Massie, I don’t know how he is on fighting hard, though.
Someone recently suggested Ben Carson and I agree.
I see DeSantis as someone that will replace democrat tyranny with republican tyranny.
W terrorized both the Middle East and America (TSA, Patriot Act). Republicans loved him for it.
DeSantis has a bright future with the 50M dumb republicans.
Spot on, Sundance. DeSantis REALLY blew it. Anyone who chooses him over Trump at this point will probably test negative for IQ.
Too many are led down that primrose path by their favorite ENEmedia carnival barkers. There’s no excuse for it at this point..

STOP the anti-DeSantis!!
ALL the worthless, sorry-ass, R’s ????
At least DeSantis ROCKS Fl & TAKES CARE of his state & constituents!!
UNLIKE every other elected republican in DC &
most in any other state!
I don’t think anyone is saying he’s not doing a good job as Florida Governor, although his response to the raid is still bothersome because he should have defended Trump more vehemently, and it happened in his state.
But as President leading the new Republican Party? MAGA? It doesn’t look like it ……
“I don’t think anyone is saying he’s not doing a good job as Florida Governor…”
Well you’re wrong. Because I’m that someone who is saying that.
Good governors don’t impose good policies for purely selfish reasons. Ron DeSantis is doing just that, so by default he’s a bad governor.
Plus he has the backing g of every Sheriff in all 67 counties. They know he is tough on crime and backs the blue.
Are y’all saying Leo’s are stupid? They came out in force to support him last week. As far as I know, they are not part of the elite political donor class.
He could be working on a legal recourse to submit to the legislature. These things take a bit of time, and every t crossed and i dotted. He certainly would not be out and about telegraphing his intentions.
I am willing to give him the benefit of time and conciseness. He’s been a fantastic governor, and in my heart of hearts, think there are things under construction in the background.
In a war, you do not telegraph your intentions to your enemies before a battle. We’re in a battle more destructive and deadly that we ever imagined.
He issued a single weak tweet about the raid from his personal twitter account, not even his Governor account. And there has been silence since then.
As I wrote elsewhere, DeSantis inherited a lot of his supporters from Trump’s base. Did he not think that such a weak response would be off-putting to us? He wants to run for President? He’s planning to go around the country to rally for candidates with Charlie Kirk while Trump and his family are dealing with the trauma of the raid? In Florida?
Ha-Ha… funny one there… LEO unions are part of the California Mafia along with teachers unions etc.
They are thugs in CA politics and always support the DEMs.
There were county sheriffs involved in the raid.
“At least DeSantis ROCKS Fl & TAKES CARE of his state & constituents!!”
President Trump and his family are his constituents too! If something like this was done to DeSantis, I guarantee you Trump wouldn’t hold back or mince words at every rally, etc.
So… Pence 2.0. I’m not surprised.
This is why President Trump is so rare and important, he is beholden to NO ONE. YET HE ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE BEHOLDEN ONLY TO AMERICA AND TO THE FORGOTTEN MAN AND WOMAN!
So he can do and say what he needs to be said and done, unlike DeSantis who needs the fundraisers and press.
That said, DeSantis has done alot of good for Florida. But 2024 WILL BE PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TICKET!
Trump may be rare and important but he is not God and he did make some mistakes. Appointing Wrap was one. Touting the vaccines was another.
@Joan, no one said he was God! He’s just the only person fighting the good fight. He’s also been the best friend of conservatives since Ronald Reagan.
Does that mean he’s perfect? No, but he’s in the ring fighting – just look at what happened a Mar-a-lago. A normal Man would have folded before 0.001% of this.
No boxer knocks out his opponent on the first punch thrown, and not all punches are perfect.
Keri Lake is exactly the type of Governor that the U.S. needs leading all its States.
/v1/fill/w_509,h_800,al_c,q_90/f212dc_d97e42121e5a4eb89c3f50c357744f15~mv2.webp
How we love Kari. She will be a tremendous Governor for two years and then Trump will pick her for VP, we can only dream
That is exactly my position, word for word. She had her eyes opened, as did I, and turned and walked away from it all and remade herself. This statement from her, and everything I have heard her say, jibes with my own takes and positions on things. This is what I expected from RD, at least a concurrance.
In my way I’m giving RD the benefit of doubt because he is young, inexperienced at gutter politics in the 21st century, has a precious wife and family to consider, is not personally wealthy, and is doubtless somewhat overwhelmed with fear and trepidation. As the famous philosopher Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. I think RD may have taken his punch this week. Even Peter, the Rock upon which the Lord God erected his Church, denied Jesus Christ three times when confronted in the dark. I think that may be an apt analogy to RD, I pray that this is his Road to Damascus moment ( I know, I’m mixing disciples here).
We are, however, at War, taking fire and Kari Lake is the only who stood straight and true, instantly, and has put her position and her soul on the line with this statement. She has stepped into the fire and is prepared to walk thru, and, again, that is what I expected to see from my Governor, despite all the good things he has said, and done. We’re in the trench and Orcs are swarming, and I need to count on my brothers and sisters beside me. At this point, only my sister Kari has risen to the occasion.
When the Orc sword is swinging towards your throat, you cannot take a week or even a day to bake a plan and organize logistics. You must parry and return strike, or die.
Either all of that, or he may have taken his 30 pieces of silver, and will reap his reward.
And oh yeah, Sabatini. I’m waiting to see and hear more from him, he got a great start and said the right thing but again, now… crickets.
God help us.
Sorry. I think you’re blowing this out of proportion. No. I don’t have any reservations about what he said, or didn’t say. None. And, BTW, he has been using that account for a few days, before the raid.
Huh?
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-hit-campaign-trail-rally-support-trump-endorsed-candidates-unite-win?intcmp=tw_fnc
Turning Point Action organizing rallies featuring DeSantis to rally support for ‘key conservative candidates’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is hitting the campaign trail this month to headline Turning Point Action’s “Unite and Win” rallies in support of Trump-endorsed candidates.
DeSantis will travel to New Mexico, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Ohio this month in support of GOP candidates, including Ohio Republican candidate for Senate JD Vance, Pennsylvania’s GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, Arizona Republican candidate for Senate Blake Masters and GOP nominee for governor Kari Lake.
Turning Point Action is hosting, and organizing the rallies with DeSantis in an effort to “unite” the Republican Party.
This article doesn’t mention anything about Trump except that the candidates are Trump-endorsed. I guess they don’t need to tell Trump that they were doing this, but if they’re trying to “unite” the Republican Party it would be pretty sh*tty to do it without his knowledge.
“Gov. DeSantis is America’s governor and one of the most popular leaders in America,” Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point Action, told Fox News. “He has become the model for a new conservative movement that is willing to stand on principle and to actually fight on behalf of the values of his voters.”
Sorry, but TRUMP is the model for the new conservative movement. DeSantis is riding on Trump’s coattails.
On Aug. 19, DeSantis will headline a rally in Pittsburgh, Penn. for Trump-endorsed GOP candidate for Pennsylvania governor, Doug Mastriano, who currently is a Pennsylvania state senator.
Is Trump going to be there?
Look at DeSantis, already feeling high and mighty even though he’s just a Florida Governor. Reminds me of Pence endorsing people and attending RINO rallies.
It’s like they’re just totally stealing from Trump!
The devil on my left shoulder just whispered that they are going to work to turn Kari Lake. She has stepped into the wilderness, and the Devil will soon be at her side. I pray for her soul.
I think they’re going to do that too. Hopefully she resists.
What’s wrong with DeSantis supporting Trumps candidates, this is great, Republicans need all the help we can get.
He’s the Florida Governor. Why is he travelling all over the US to rally for candidates that Trump endorsed? Because he’s planning to run for President in 2024? I hope he and Kirk at least informed Trump, INVITED Trump, to participate even if Trump declined. Because it seems to me that Kirk and DeSantis are trying to pull the rug out from under Trump.
Oh boy now I am thinking DeSantis knew about the raid in advance. I really don’t want to think this. I don’t dislike DeSantis but I’m beginning to.
Oh oh ……it’s beginning. Desantis “Rallies”. Trump must love this betrayal
I have long thought that DeSantis was a very deep Deep State Operative, being groomed to replace President Trump by the Republican establishment….his silence speaks volumes. No more donations for Turning Point either, which I have supported in the past.
I am probably going to mess up what I’m trying to say but here goes.
I worked for a technology company that was growing by leaps n bounds in the 80s into mid 90s. The guys who started and grew the company were visionary wild men, brilliant.
The company got real big, those guys left and different people came in to ‘manage’ it. They were the bean counters, watchers and influencers of regulations etc.
There is a time for the visionaries, the guys with personalities that push boundaries and create something. I see that as President Trump.
Then, after that there is a time for the manager personality to maintain what has been created. Maybe it could Ron DeSantis, possibly others.
I’m not sure what to make of Desantis yet, but I know exactly what you mean about your company. I worked for a startup company. The owner hired maverick types to get each branch off the ground. It was a blast! They grew and grew to the point they needed to rein in the mavericks and get more controll. Most maverick s left and all the replacements were corporate types. I didn’t stay long after that.
Interesting point you make.
NOTHING has been won yet. We don’t need no stinkin “managers.” We need warriors strong enough for the battle we are facing. Trump is the Man – DeSantis isn’t.
This is one of the worst threads I have ever read on the Treehouse in at least a decade. But that’s kind of a good thing because a lot of people have shown their true colors.
A lot here today have shown themselves to be nothing but keyboard commandos.
You criticize, but that’s all you do. You want someone to fight for you, instead of fighting for what you believe.
That’s easy to do these days. How about putting your body out there and taking some of the physical blows. It’s REALLY easy to criticize while sitting on a Barca lounger and typing away.
Don’t like the way this is going? I recommend you all man the post and take some of the blows.
Is the problem that you want DeSantis to run for President in 2024 and you dislike criticisms of him?
Give us some examples from what you are doing. That would really help. Most of us feel helpless.
Agree with Sundance – DeSantis’ only statement was weak at best. Kari Lake’s statement was pure fire and truth. And she’s not even sitting in the comfy seat yet! Yet she is unafraid to speak truth to power.
And this happened in DeSantis’ back yard.
Disappointing he’s turtled and gone the typical politician route.
THIS is something that DeSantis should have said, but he didn’t…
https://mobile.twitter.com/AnthonySabatini/status/1556805568207196160?
Little Marco is seizing the day.
Marco is ranking member on the SSCI. He’s up to his eyeballs in the Deep State. He was compromised from his days in Florida house of Representative.
I am correcting my previous post that I can’t find… Marco Rubio IS up for reelection so of course he is going to grandstand!!! Always a decepticon as Sundance would say…. I haven’t liked him ever since he was one of the immigration gang of 8
What I find sickening is this MAGA term being thrown around and attached to politicians willy nilly.
There is only one MAGA, that is Trump.
When Trump leaves politics MAGA is dead.
“When Trump leaves politics MAGA is dead.”
In your dream McConnell.
I disagree. MAGA is greater than one man and it will not die. It’s the future of this country and it will triumph. It has the numbers and we all need to stick together.
MAGA will survive only if there is a pool of money, a PAC (political action committee) that funds it and doesn’t betray its small donors.
Maybe Trump can leave something like this behind him.
MAGA will survive only if there is a parallel society, a parallel economy, a parallel chamber of commerce for nationalist industries.
MAGA will survive only if the populace learns, through a free internet, how the government is attacking them.
Most people don’t even realize that corporations write our laws and that Congress passes them unread.
That’s why “keyboard warriors” are a real thing. The pen is mightier than the sword.
This is an information war.
Too many people are still forming their understanding of the world from television and other controlled media sources.
But the internet is the most significant invention since the book.
It will cause, and is causing, profound political change.
In 1851, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote that the voters only have the illusion of choice because the candidates from both parties are preselected by the same industrial powers. (House of the Seven Gables).
The illusion of a government by and for the people has been with us for a long, long time.
This is a government run by the richest corporations who write the laws to benefit themselves, sold to us by politicians who frame what they do as if it is “in our interest.”
Obamacare has massively enriched insurance companies and hospitals.
The experimental injection has made Big Pharma even bigger.
MAGA wins if people stop being zombies.
Sometimes I have hope, and that keeps me positive overall.
And then I look at the stars and remember God.
Struggle forward and pray. Our children must live in a free America.
Well, I’ll be kind and just say that’s an ill considered statement.
“ When Trump leaves politics MAGA is dead.”
That is the fervent and fondest hope of the Deep State. They are so wrong. They still don’t know us.
Which validates the myth that there are more of us then them.
Been waiting for this, I’m a DeSantis fan(his political policies); but, deep down, we must remember that DeSantis is a career politician, working the vote to gain elective office, and he’s been successful. Bottom line, he’s a career politician, that explains the deafening silence. Trump is none of that, and he exposed Mike Pence, so is he in the process of exposing Ron DeSantis? It’s a complicated situation, and nobody’s made that point more than The Great Exposer.
Here’s a good response to the Mar-a-Lago raid.
The CIA, FBI, NSA, IRS, and other like agencies (probably) need to be dismantled. These agencies (probably) cannot be saved. If Trump wants a successful second term, he must go the furthest he possibly can to restructure the Executive Branch. He has every incentive to do so now.
Florida Board Of Medicine Moves To Ban Transgender Treatments For Minors

Transgender treatments are child abuse and should be illegal across the nation.
I’m not from Florida, so don’t really know what is going on, but found it strange DeSantis didn’t react like he did when he kicked Warren out last week . But it got me to thinking: Maybe DeSantis was threatened that if he pursued it, they would do the same thing to him. It was almost like the corrupt government was letting Florida and the governor they run the show
That is absolutely the intent of this thug-stunt: Send a signal to all elected R’s that they are on list, should they dare to oppose The Swamp.
Gut Check Time.
🤣
I agree that DeSantis was threatened. The timing and the matter in which he responded leads me to believe that his family’s safety and security were targeted. I’ve been amazed that hasn’t been an issue with PDJT, but have concluded that his NYC experience and wealth have somehow provided a blanket thus far.
I pray that our leaders who have said and done things which follow our Constitution are kept safe from harm.
It’s time to remember that there is a class of Apex predator among us who are devoted to power and wealth. They want it all and will stop at nothing to get it. God is not in their thoughts.
have you never heard of the Bon Gino rule? White 48 to 72 hours before sticking your foot in your mouth. makes sense does it not?
If he was threatened, and went along, he isn’t the right horse for this particular race.
But you can’t convince me he hasn’t been threatened MANY times before and yet DeSantis still had no issue with telling the Regime to Kiss his A$$. His ACTIONS, not WORDS, have proven him to be a force for the Regime to deal with, second only to Trump.
But….I am intrigued here.
