Everything about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is shallow fakery and manipulative astroturf.
The term “astroturf” is given whenever a political operation attempts to generate the illusion of support where little to no support exists. Astroturf politics is pure fabrication and highlights the smallness of the candidate for whom the astroturf operation is conducted.
In republican national politics we saw astroturf operations around Carly Fiorina and Ted Cruz in 2016, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to see the same individual’s surface again as hired by Team DeSantis to create his 2024 astroturf campaign. Yesterday’s trip by the meatball to Georgia was pure astroturf, complete with free DeSantis ’24 swag, t-shirts, and various freebies in order to support the artificial optics of the campaign [see video at end].
With the support of Jeb Bush and Karl Rove, team Meatball has hired former Cruz and Youngkin campaign officials to help generate and enhance his illusion. They even hired people skilled in manufactured polling [WPA intel] to create false data for media to promote. This action comes on the heels of the meatball’s instructions to state senate allies for them to change Florida law, thus permitting him to run without resigning.
WASHINGTON – […] The upper ranks of Never Back Down, a group founded by former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli, will include top strategists to Sen. Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign, a top adviser to Glenn Youngkin’s 2021 Virginia gubernatorial campaign and senior communications aides involved in former president Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential run, according to a person familiar with the plans, who, like others in this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private arrangements.
The sheer firepower of the senior team suggests that Never Back Down — which will be able to accept donations of unlimited value and transfers from DeSantis’s state political committee — will have a more expansive role in the 2024 campaign than past presidential super PACs, which have traditionally focused almost exclusively on television and digital advertising.
[…] Phil Cox, a senior adviser to the 2022 DeSantis reelection campaign who has been a point of contact for Republicans hoping to support a White House bid, will serve as a senior adviser to Never Back Down, the person familiar with the plans said. He will work with Axiom Strategies President Jeff Roe, the architect of the 2016 Cruz campaign and the 2021 Youngkin campaign, whose role with the group was disclosed last week.
Kristin Davison, an Axiom consultant who has worked as a top adviser to Youngkin, will join the group as chief operating officer, working with Chris Jankowski — a Virginia strategist who has worked with Cox — who has taken the title of chief executive.
[…] Chris Wilson, a Republican pollster at WPA Intelligence, will lead the data efforts for Never Back Down. He worked on Youngkin’s gubernatorial campaign, and served as director of research, analytics and digital strategy for the 2016 Cruz presidential campaign.
David Polyansky, Axiom’s chief strategy officer, will also join Never Back Down as a senior adviser. He previously worked as a senior adviser to the 2016 GOP presidential campaign of former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, as top adviser to the Cruz presidential campaign and as a Senate chief of staff to Cruz.
[…] On Monday, Matt Wolking, a deputy communications director for Trump’s 2020 campaign who works at Axiom, announced on Twitter that he was joining the group. (read more)
Right on cue, today Meatball spox Matt Wolking starts promoting a Meatball WPA Intelligence poll for NBC to promote.

The coordinated astroturf effort is extremely visible, and makes the meatball look smaller than a spaghetti-o.
Next up is an exceptional video explanation by Randy of what happened in Georgia yesterday.
Everything noted in the ‘on-the-ground’ video in Georgia is describing pure astroturf.
If Casey DeSantis had any shame or humility, she would be embarrassed for her Meatball. However, as Casey takes counsel from Cindy McCain while shopping for tiaras and drapes, the general optics are that Mrs. Meatball is one of the biggest pushers of the 2024 enterprise.

Meatball❗
Meatball DeSeptice.
Apologies for being off topic, did anyone see Harmeet Dillon on Tucker last night? Tells me all I need to know about Tucker…
I did, but Tucker has had Harmeet on multiple times. For me what was striking was her demeanor last night compared to earlier in the week. She was more, idk, “beat down/subdued/painted down/plain Jane” if you will compared to previous spots earlier this week. Something was off about her segment. She either clearly knows what’s in that sealed ham sandwich of an indictment; or she was given the “nice life you have…” talk. Perhaps it was me but something about it didn’t seem right at all.
Meatball will not be President in 2024.
The very fact that Meatball is tethering himself to Georgia/Kemp should tell you everything you need to know.
DeSantis/Kemp ticket?
Just a few days ago, Kemp is insisting he is not running in 2024:
https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meetthepressblog/georgia-gov-kemp-insists-not-thinking-2024-bid-rcna59768
First Kemp has to sell out the remaining Georgia counties to the highest bidder so he can get his cut$$$$.
A perfect couple of grifters making a run for the white house 2024.
Interesting point: Burt Jones, GA LT. Gov was endorsed by President Trump.
Kemp makes my skin crawl.
He does have experience stealing elections as I understand it . . .
In my book these so called Coincidences are Set-Ups …….
Repeat after me…
There are no such things as coincidences.
Guaranteed.😎
“In politics.” Finished it for you. 😊
Love it! Ha I was just waiting for some enterprising doctor of memeological sciences to incorporate the great Meatwad!
If by some cruel twist of fate (or socialist machination, more likely) President Trump is prevented from running, we should expect four more years of socialist tyranny, or as many years as it takes for them to finish destroying this country.
Should our Champion be so sidelined or in any other fashion blocked from answering Heaven’s call it will be a fully open declaration of war.
There would be no uneasy peace, no waiting it out or hiding in the shadows.
Pro tip…THEY’VE been at war with US for 7 years.
LONGER
DeSantis is not a threat to them so it will be much much much less . Soros said repeatedly that Trump was the only one capable of stopping the NWO .
Exactly. The person taking all the incoming hits is the biggest target and that’s Trump. The cabal doesn’t need to worry about DeSatanis. He’s a Bush puppet and one of theirs!
Won’t matter if they “prevent” President Trump from running, I will be writing in the name: Donald John Trump on my ballot regardless of who might be printed on it
Robert Barnes on the Trump indictment.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/ENgj9aAWEuFj/
RDS has been in on the whole thing.
President Trump will face a rigged judge, prosecutor, and jury in NY. Robert Barnes speculates that these people could kneecap Trump in many ways. For example, limit his travel, ability to fundraise, place a gag order upon him, and many other roadblocks.
The Deep State is fighting for its life and will not stop. So how do President Trump’s supporters fight back?
If travel is limited… hold rallies with the usual add ons and stream in Trump.
They can’t stop others from donating.
Have others speak for him.
He won’t just give up.
I can imagine President Trump on the big screen nodding to each speaker, a fist in the air for emphasis and encouragement, no words. The court would freak out. Each additional level of court restrictions would have a pushback that they haven’t contemplated.
Farmers and Truckers hold the most power on our side. It’s wishful thinking but I would love to see Truckers suspend deliveries to New Yuck City.
Every lawyer worth a dime in this country knows there’s no case here. It’s at best a misdemeanor. If paying hush money to a mistress were a felony most of Congress would be sitting in jail right now.
SHE WAS NOT HIS MISTRESS!!! THEY NEVER HAD AN AFFAIR!!!
Paying money to someone to stop them from slandering you is legal!!!
Don’t forget We The People!
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
Cannot bring up the video. Keep getting the “Error” message.
Mississippi State University Mitchell Memorial Library, just had a ceremony for Chip Pickering’s donation of his papers. Some of the panelists were Haley Barbour’s nephew, Chip, and Chip’s daddy, Judge Pickering. Battle lines were drawn when the Judge all but supported Trump, while Barbour made namby-pamby, noncommital statements. I’m happy to report that Judge Pickering got all the applause!
“Carly Fiorina”!!!
Oh, wow… that takes me back…
“Look at that face!”
Good times… good times…
Fiorina did have one good zinger regarding Felonia von Pantsuit’s accumulation of frequent flyer miles as Sec State.
RINOs and Democrats are openly on the same anti Constitution side!!! They are the enemy of our Republic. The media is with them. They are going to try to ram this down our throats. They must be stopped. Everyone pray to Almighty God for help. Then when we win praise Him everyday and go to Church every Sunday. This is life and death seriousness
That’s because RINOs and Democrats are socialists which are antithetical to the USA Constitution.
I don’t understand why they keep Liz Cheney in those polls. It’s very weird. Maybe that’s a Karl Rove deal to have her included.
I also thought that was quite odd . . . how did SHE get in there?
Nice part about that is it tells us just how freaking fake the poll is
I’ll do my part to give the term “meatball” traction whenever possible.
Scumbags-R-us Inc.
DeBushMafiaWeasel and his wife Morticia for No Growth make my flesh crawl.
These corrupt bought and paid for opportunists make me just as embarrassed to be an Italian-American as Pelosi
In Italian we have a term for them, Brutta figura. It means you show an ugly face.
I am confused . Is that a meatball or a POS on the Ron 24 image.
Give it some time and we will have the answer.
It is beginning to stink these days.
“Can you smell me now?”
-Meatball
I live in Utah and it is no uncommon for a woman to proposition the widower at a funeral for his wife. That is exactly what Meatball reminds me of.
That makes my skin crawl…
Mormon women working the cash grab😏
DeSantis has fooled many people but he’s not fooling people who know who he really is and what he’s really about .
The WEF Globalists and GOP love him because they know he’s their puppet .
He’s a disgrace and a perfect example of the snake story Trump tells sometimes.
I don’t think DeSatan would run unless he thought had a pretty good probability of prevailing, which suggests to me this is NOT the last indictment of Donald J. Trump. DeSatan is counting on a string of indictments, likely Georgia, then the coup de grace from that POS Jack Smith in DC. Pure EVIL.
Keep in mind that prevailing doesn’t necessarily mean obtaining office, it means playing his role in taking out Trump.
He obviously has been convinced his masters will take out Trump, evidenced by the repeated coordination with the Derps.
I would like to know when De Santis – or actually, his “team” knew about the indictment and then if they knew about it before it became public, before DeSantis made his statement.
When I think of the putrid odor of the Bush Clan having ANYTHING to do with another Presidential election, I think all over again about all those little “George” and “Laura” babies born in Afghanistan after US forces went in and liberated the people from the Taliban . . . and then how the Bushes had NOTHING to say about Biden and the way Afghanistan was abandoned.
As Tennessee Williams called it in “Cat On A Hot Tin Roof” . . . “the odor of mendacity”
When Trump wins the GOP primaries and the nomination the GOP establishment — Jeb/Paul Ryan/McConnell/Wall St globalists — will again join forces with the Dems to help them steal the 2024 election. They’re pure scum.
This is very sad. About a year ago (give or take) he looked like he might grow into being a worthy successor to President Trump.
Perhaps others saw the truth back then. I didn’t.
I did not see it either.
Thank you, Sundance. (again)
What matters now is that we see him in his true light. His ties to the GOP establishment can’t be denied anymore.
Doesn’t the “Meatball” fall and rolls out the door, then under a bush and turns into mush. 😄
🙂 Yes, it ends that way!
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed😂😂😂
hahahaha Was just singing that song to my 3.5 year old grandson the other day!
Haha, ya’ll got me laughing now!
This story just tells me that they have promises to convict PDT. Ron is suppose to sooth our senses. I will stay home. It is DT or nothing.
I think it looks much too preplanned for the Florida legislature to vote to let Ronnie run and not quit his job ON THE SAME DAY that Trump is supposed to be indicted. Pretty darn fishy.
Hey, if you live in Florida, and haven’t done so already, call your state senator and representative MONDAY and let them know what you think of these machinations.
I will write in Donald J Trump.
You won’t have to, Trump is going to win.
All so predictable. In fact its exactly the way I’ve been predicting it all to go down for many months.
This is the narrative that the cabal will use to explain why DeSantis won after the fake election results.
They dont care anymore if the vast majority of people dont/wont vote for them. Thats the new fake pandemic induced normal. The plan is to ram themselves down our throats and pretend it never happened. Get it through your heads…..
“I dont need you to get me elected, I need you once Im elected”
Somebody ‘splain th me the “meatball” reference; I must have been asleep.
Meathead was already taken and RdS is short . . .
And oily
PDJT said something to the effect “some people call Ron a meatball but I would never do that”.
I don’t understand. What does the term meatball come from?
It’s been out there for many months and you’re only know pretending to be concerned about it?
Not pretending. First time I’ve heard it. Tried to find out by a web search. Not surprised I got an annoying response. It is the internet.
🤣 🥰 🥰 🥰
The description of DeSanctus’ physical demeanor in the second half of the Randy the Savage video is hiiiiigh-larious…
… and perfectly aligns with this observation by Sundance: “the general optics are that Mrs. Meatball is one of the biggest pushers of the 2024 enterprise”.
Maybe I’m gonna start calling him Calzone Ron. Doughy on the outside… mushy on the inside. Does not preclude a “meatball” component, BTW… which is convenient.
I like her, I’ve never seen her before. Reminds me of that Tommy (Tommie?) blond girl who is on Fox BEFORE she stabbed Trump in the back (who she owes her whole career to)
Tomi Larhen.

We need to educate people about this Fake, FILTHY Turncoat backstabber Establishment Hack.

Bunker Boy (h/t Sundance)
How about Ron DeAnus.
A Treeper posted DeSynthetic
What makes this meatball even greasier is the absolute assuredness he knew, and imo took part in, the despicable plan to take PDJT out.
Sundance, THANK YOU for posting Randy’s video.
Rot, Ron, rot.
Internet Patriot Act is sliming thru Congress. Blink and you will miss it.
The Republican party cannot be repaired or reformed and needs to be replaced. Until their politicians recognize why and accept this their politicians will largely be Democrat lite politicians and not principled patriots. This admission is unlikely because they have so many selfish vested interests and these do not involve putting the welfare of their constituents first.
This is so disappointing.
I votes for the guy twice, was invited and attended his second inauguration but this new “law” that would allow him to run and still be governor is just what the Dems would do for one of their crooks.
I won’t be sending him and money and will point out the hypocrisy to my friends often.
Stay in Florida Ron and get some new friends.
Our Local REC chairman is sitting on a Education committee appointed by DeSantis she got the call from DeSantis . He is trying to make sure the County REC’s support him. RPOF all in bed with him too.
We are known by the company we keep.
His insurance reform and his failure to corral Disney show how poorly he understands issues or where his loyalties “lie.”
For these reasons, he would not carry FL against PDJT legally.
Florida is basking in new tax revenue from growth but he has done little for homesteads Insurance costs.. He has done nothing to help all the Seniors that have retired to our state with all the new tax revenues. After 62 years of age we pay taxes again on our own money. We continue to be billed for schools that are no longer relevant or represent Christian values. Homesteaders over 62 need to step up be heard Locally.
I am done. I pray that I have the opportunity in a town hall or at a rally to ask RDXX what he has done for Floridians lately.He didn’t do a ship shape job from his last stint in congress either.
He has done minimal or nothing with election issues for a reason. Computer Scanners are still in place, ERIC is providing the extra non citizen’s ballots, and multiple voting days are in place. I sent many 2020 illegal voter registrations, voter rolls provided by True the Vote to our Supervisor of Elections via affidavit NOTHING. They will not have an election without the interference from data manipulation. We MUST act locally in our County.
He should have been living in hurricane Ian’s destruction area . A good microcosm of the local issues, every one of them. All he’s done are federal campaign photo ops.
Mexico Beach and Panama City, hurricane Michael’s scars and now Ian’s destruction are just petty annoyances for Meatball.
But alas, we are just living click bait to click bait. Thanks I needed that rant!
God Bless and onward Christian Soldiers!
W
Push like we’re pushing in Texas to remove the illegal property taxes.
Can’t own a home if it’s constantly generating charges to pay off the State from “takin” it from you.
You know and I know the push for DeSantis to run for 2024 is not organic, esp. DeSantis seems to follow every advice from the professional GOP ‘consulting class’ that keeps losing to even weak Dem candidates.
Why? Why does DeSantis want to be used (and discarded) like this? There is NO CHANCE he’s winning hearts over to his side.
If all he sees is the same rally crowd and energy (artificial as it is) comparing to president Trump’s, wouldn’t he have a clue himself and call it (the run in 2024) quits and wait for 2028? What is this sense of emergency?
His slogan “Never back down” went down the drain with what Disney did to him this week. Of course, the entire Disney operation was planned as nothing more than a campaign stunt. In the end, Disney lost no control over anything and DeSantis is allowing it.
You are not supposed to notice.
Would this be considered election interference?
Again, I voted for Trump 2x.
Who carries the MAGA Agenda after Trump?
He’s one in 300+ million., that’s why were going to be enslaved for decades.
Soros’ “endorsement” of DeSantis had nothing to with DeSantis and everything to do with blunting a Trump resurgence.
DeSantis is an all-around tool for the UniParty and the Open Cesspool Society Foundation.
A tool for all seasons.
They took a page right out of the Democrat’s playbook: “Never let a good crisis go to waste”
Thinking that President Trump’s support will fade, they conjure up fake crap to serve to the public.
We see you, Ron.
Just a heads up, but that “Democrat Playbook” is their playbook too.
I liked the gal’s video, but is it me…or was she calling Ron DeSantis, ROB??? Why? Was she just mocking him? Maybe I need to get my hearing checked!
Yes PatriotGalNC, I heard her call DS “ROB” also.
I thought she was just mocking him, since he is trying to ROB votes from PDJT!
Thank You Randy!
Kemp as VP? SPIT!
Love the meatwad meme but who is his frylock?
Trump said if things get so bad I will run for President.
DeSantas said if ask by the club I will run for President.
One is a reason and the other has a reason
If Trump is not on the ballot, I will proudly write Trump’s name on mine! Never DeSantimonious!
I’m enjoying the Roasted Meatball show. But it is even better that it rings true.
We must remember, and not lose sight of the fact, however, that we are at war. Seriously.
The Sports Entertainment flavor lulls us into complacency. If we lose, its not just a game or season lost. It is our home, our jobs, our ability to generate wealth, our ability to keep what we have, our freedom of speech, religion. Our representation in government vs literal enslavery.
I enjoyed the video of Randy, and on a deeper level — she’s smart, and sees behind the curtain.
But the Evil force of USCOCC, GOPe, Soros has no regard for our lives. They our selling our country to China with no thought on how they will keep China, Russia, Iran, Marxists at bay when they all decide the country is weakend enough to be stormed and devoured like a mob.
We have a beautifully growing groundswell of MAGA/Agenda 47 patriots. We must train. We must articulate and educate the unaware.
But we must organize to fight the war, because they are not playing for political win. They are already showing blatant disregard for our safety, our lives, our livelihood, our children, our property, law and order, justice.
Large portions of our population are neutralized by many forces:
Consumed by work trying to stay sustainable in their jobs
Addicted to sports and TV entertainment which keeps us preoccupied and uneducated and comfy
Addicted to video games which are infiltrated with psyops suggestions
Pacified by controlled opposition
Sequestered in woke universities and high schools consumed by false drama crises (70% of Fox news headlines are attention diverting click bait).
Headlines change hourly as they monitor their effectiveness in distracting us.I don’t look at other MSM news sites much, but FOXNEWS sure feels more and more like a psyops experiment, monitoring where I go, dropping the headlines that don’t attract, full of drama fluff to keep my attention off stealth moves they don’t want us to know about.My point is, Stay Alert. This country is at war.
It is a war against We the People: your children, relatives, friends, church, and livelihood.
The weapons are psyops, diversion, lies, distraction, addiction, enslavement, bribery
The enemy is more evil than any mafia you have ever imagined and they are slowly taking away everything sacred to us.
If you are not aware of them, they you have been effectively hypnotized with comfort and reassurance, and are neutralized.
Our greatest weapon, however is God, His Truth, and a submission to His purpose of reflecting His Glory in every encounter and action we take — one day at a time.
Case in point is there is very little social media posts covering DeSantis’ campaign in GA.
Maybe Ga is too close to home, and they know him a lot better than he thinks they do.
Is Ron Disaster going to dust off the old Pepto Bismol commercial?
“That’s a spicy meatball.”
