Feeling empowered after his boost from Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp, a man of notoriously intemperate disposition, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis begins the process to align himself with the neocon establishment and labeling Donald Trump supporters as “listless vessels” devoid of principle, who simply “follow whatever comes down the pike from Truth Social every morning.”
Appearing with a young millennial wearing a beaver tail on his head, namely Will Witt from the Florida Standard, Ron DeSantis outlines his opinion that the MAGA movement is only driven by the support of President Donald Trump, a person who has exhausted his usefulness in awakening the electorate. As a result, the high-minded superior intellects of the Republican Party now need to step in, reestablish the core values of the conservative movement, and put the squirming MAGA children in their play pens.
You can watch the entire interview below; I’m just prompting it to the part that best highlights the sanctimonious arrogance of a dim-witted candidate who really doesn’t carry his own policies, only those of the managers and branding consultants that create his talking points. WATCH:
What the insufferable DeSantis and his branding/image consultants pretend not to know, is that President Trump’s America First policies are the driving force behind the MAGA movement. Those policies consist of three main attributes that are non-existent in any other candidate:
Immigration. The construct of a southern border wall, denial of illegal entry and a return to immigration border controls that block illegal aliens.
Economics. The implementation of MAGAnomics that puts incentives behind Made In America. Baseline tariffs on all imports. The removal of the 70-year-old one-way Marshal plan for tariffs on USA products into the EU. Reciprocal tariffs against all nations who participate in bilateral Free Trade Agreements, and a return to America first manufacturing independence.
Foreign Policy. The withdrawal of USA interventionist foreign policy. The respect of national borders and national policies that are the outcome of the independent will of people within sovereign nations. The primary responsibility of NATO funding, support and activity, to the member states of the European Union. The use of USA economic strength as a national security weapon.
Those three pillars form the baseline of the America First policy that President Trump represents. No other candidate comes even close to the policies therein. President Trump represents the vessel we are using to force the professional political class to accept these policy priorities. MAGA is a set of policies uniquely attributed to President Trump, because only Trump willingly represents those policies.
The GOPe know this; so too does Ron DeSantis and his handlers. Every candidate in the Republican field understands this set of policies, and they have been paid by the multinational donors to pretend they do not know. Their collective GOPe mission is to destroy the policy platform; therefore, they must attack the core of the Trump supporters by pretending not to know.
Ron’s boat is sinking … he’s getting cranky cause nothing is working for him….And he just shot another hole in his boat…Ya know ya F’d up when your own state doesnt even like you anymore !!
See Ya Ron
He’ll never be elected for anything any more. He just took out his political career. Well thank God we learned his true colors now and know how he feels about all of us republican voters.
Truly he is a smart and courageous. Did wonders not only for FL but the Nation during crazy Covid mandates, etc. Seems the appeal of big bucks from bad donors, like Bush, Rove and the RHINOS they control, et al. led him astray. We need him to keep FL out of trouble.
Ron described as “truly smart and courageous”…really? In what ways were those displayed? Also, what ‘wonders’ exactly did DeSantis do for the nation during covid?
Think you need to give your rose-colored glasses a good cleaning and expand your scope of online research.
Being led astray speaks to the non-existent good character that embodys DeSantis. Glad we found out before he got anywhere near the presidency.
Do you imagine he’d grow a set and be immune to those influences in the white house? Greed & power & no character – nothing different from crooked Joe.
Are you SERIOUS? “Smart and courageous?” Do you honestly think it was smart to insult the very voting block he needs to win? And what has he done that can be considered courageous? He did some grandstanding against Disney that actually went nowhere. He makes a big deal out of taking a conservative stand on social issues, but most of the work gets done because Republicans control the senate and house. He DIDN’T do wonders for Florida! I know because live here. All his decisions on the economy have been pro-Wall Street. He took money from the utility companies and insurance lobby. Now, Floridians are losing their homes because they can’t pay their utility bills and the cost of insurance has exceeded their mortgage payment! All this while Ron the Con is prancing around the country pretending to be Trump-Lite! He’s a backstabbing, phony, scheming little swamp weasel who shouldn’t be within a million miles of the presidency. We have enough of those in DC!
I like your comment! Anyone else find it insanely difficult to register a ‘like’ on this platform? I tap and tap that ‘ thumbs up’ and nothing happens.
I’m another utterly disgusted by DeSantimonious Floridian.
Crazy thing is the guy could’ve ridden Trump’s coattails into the White House and been a shoo in for President in ‘28
without a doubt.
his handlers couldn’t allow another Trump term, even with Rhonda as wingman
Pride and Greed, two of seven deadly sins.
Better stated as Money and Power.
Money & power are not deadly sins – they can and are used for good in the right hands. Obviously DeSantis’ hands are not the right ones.
‘Pride and Greed, two of seven deadly sins’ – these are not only character markers, they are soul killers. There are no instances of them being used for good.
Only way good would come from those is in the case of what someone is meaning for bad, God uses for good.
I think there are 2 reasons for running this time. 1. the big money and buildup by the uniparty elites 2.The truth was coming out about his dealings in Florida. He was cornered and now he is stuck in that corner for the future.
He won’t even sell books
I don’t know if he’ll even have his corner in FL after this disastrous campaign. He had established a reputation as a top governor due to his COVID policies, and he blew whatever credibility he had there too by lying about running for President and being an absentee.
His handlers are stupid too. They could have had him fake his way in with Trump as a Trojan Horse.
Thank goodness for all their incompetence.
Glad they were so dumb.
His Covid policies weren’t all that great either. I remember not being able to go for a walk on the beach, and the way he was touting the death shots. He was only marginally better than all the rest of the governors.
We Conservatives have not paid enough attention to the big money elites, as you stated. We outnumber them; they just control the microphone. Can’t riot or we fall into their control under Marshall Law. But we can stop the runaway Liberal train by filing our tax returns but not sending in the money to defund the government until reason and honesty can return.
Thank God we have seen the scumbag for what he truly is!
He is not a scumbag. He made serious mistakes going for the gold from big donors who have bad (not Conservative)ideas. He now is desperate but don’t forget, the final selection of the GOP candidate is a long, long, way off in politics. The fog of campaigning is thick as hell and he got lost in it. But he may still get his head straight and ditch the big donors….see Bush, Rove, et al.
Let’s see . . . Ron lied about running for president, changed state laws so he could run, hid his travel logs so people couldn’t see where he was campaigning, and backstabbed President Trump numerous times.
I don’t know what you call that, but I call it a scumbag for sure!
Sorry, he is a scumbag.
Sorry, not Sorry.
The legislators are using the vote to repeal the “Resign to Run” law as campaign fodder against their opponents in the next election.
There seems to already a “clean up on aisle 5” effort underway on at least one other website over his listless vassal statement.
I like your typo.
“Vassal” is what Ron thinks we all are.
I assume you’re referencing Andrea Widberg over at American Thinker. Her and her boss, thomas Lifson have for months been quietly schilling for DeSantis, and are continually disappointed when they get pushback. They so perfectly represent the superior attitude of the self proclaimed upper crust and their frustration that MAGA can’t be hearded in the proper direction.
Ron I used to think you were a decent young man and perhaps someone who might “possibly” pick up President Trumps mantle Making America Great(er) Again.
Instead you’ve proven yourself a completely controlled demonic swamp rat/stooge who will be despised like B-B-Biden and like B-B-Biden will not win anything but be selected by your masters. You sir, may be the pin in the glo-bull-ist hand grenade that when it explodes will blow up in your face.
God’s people are far from finished and though there are giants in the land, like Caleb and Joshua report to Moses, no worries, with God we can take the promised land (back).
We used to be “listless vessels” from 110+ years of your swamp distractions, we now see you all for who and what you are, demonic spawn, children of the most evil one who cherish death, destruction, chaos, pestilence, privation, war.
Well a funny thing happened on the way to our demise, you’ve now awakened the children of God and we’re angry, we’re all looking now and at some point God will signal “when” and the demons will again be cast into darkness.
Ultra-MAGA! Please God lead and guide us, give us courage, intercede on our behalf so you will again bless America.
God Bless America!
AMEN!
Great post Stan H, good to hear from your listless vessel to another.
I plan on putting “Listlesss Vessel”on a flag on my TRUMP boat for the Emerald Coast Sunday outing. Beautiful day !
Sand in the machine is so easy with these political viruses 🦠
Wish I could be there for the boat parade!
Right on.
Like Yamamoto said, too paraphrase; “I fear we’ve awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with great resolve” .
Ultra-MAGA!
excellent
We link up with God these demons are done, stay in faith and be prepared.
As Sundance says, live your best life.
Ⓜ️🅰️G🅰️
No doubt.
The MAGA’s are his voters!! Pretty shameful .
Perhaps “were” is a better choice of words.
What DeSantis is evidently too dim witted to realize is that by calling Pres Trump’s supporters “listless vessels” he just positioned himself right next to Hillary. Brilliant. And he did it to himself. Ha!
Stupid is, As stupid does..
Ron’s race to the bottom.
When I learned of his funding, I knew his ship would never fly….
Sellout RINO.
Trashing millions of MAGA voters will not put him in the white house … then again, at this point, nothing will.
It *will*, however, put him out of the governor’s mansion….or cardboard box….
“The respect of national borders and national policies that are the outcome of the independent will of people within sovereign nations.”
Recognition of that simple, honest, near-Biblical truth alone, would return our nation to its leadership position, and help return a warring planet to peace. Within that statement is a recognition of the importance of borders, and of peoples’ sovereignty.
Such a recognition would empower Americans to end the reigns of the profiteering warmakers who stroll up and down the halls of our capitol, and help focus the west’s attention on the globalist thugs in the Open Society Foundation.
Ron , of all people should know it just doesn’t work that way. First getting House and Senate Republican majority. Is that the plan perhaps? Big Pharma will have him killed secondly if he tries to take them down, and Third, who does he have in mind to take everyone’s place? That would be interesting to know, and who is WE? He keeps talking about? It’s not that easy Ron. What a big talker.
Not unlike a comedian who insults the audience when he’s bombing.
Exactly, anything but owning responsibility for one’s own mistakes. He needs to quit running his life by committee.
Note to all, there ARE pictures of Ron helping out after Hurricane Michael devastated the panhandle of Florida WITHOUT the go-go boots. He has done some good legislation in addition to the self-serving legislation. He also did a good job of threading the needle between prosperity and the covid lockdowns for the state.
They are starting up the lock down efforts again at the airports mid September with full on for flying by mid December. We will get a second look at how he handles the administration of the coming new toxic jabs. Remember Federal budget must be renewed by September 30 for the next year. McCarthy is trying to push for another continuing resolution to cover the budget, but I do not think the Freedom caucus will buy it. Most I am reading are inclined to let the whole thing burn to the ground with Biden at the helm, so horrific are his policies for our country.
Prepare as best you are able, if you have stocked provisions, you have options no matter what the rat b**terds mandate. Simple preps matter: WATER, canned food, dry goods, vitamins, matches, candles, gas for your car/generator/etc… Ready to eat food AND food you can cook. A few weeks worth of those give you time to make solid decisions in the face of mandates of any kind. I have used a stocked pantry to survive multiple layoffs. The most important prep is drinkable water, then, grey water. If they turn the power off, there is no running water at the faucet and the toilets don’t work. Grey water to flush toilets. If they turn the power off, the gas pumps don’t work and credit cards don’t work. After every hurricane, the most valuable commodity is drinking water, gasoline is number 2.
Sand in the gears, keep talking truth to friends.
The RDS campaign is a listing vessel.
A desperate move to right the ship, which only results in taking on more and more water.
The man who calls us “listless vessels” is nothing more than an empty vessel.
Excellent post! I like it
Look at this puff piece by American Thinker taking up for RINO Ron.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/no_ron_desantis_did_not_launch_a_missile_at_all_trump_supporters.html
“Witt then asked a reasonable question: Given your record, why are you still being attacked as an establishment puppet (my words, not Witt’s)? DeSantis’s response attacked a very specific type of person: One so blindly loyal to a single candidate that he (or she) accepts everything from that candidate and his team at face value:
I think that we have a strand in our party that views supporting Trump as [determinative of] whether you are a RINO or not. So, you could be the most conservative person since sliced bread.
Unless you’re kissing his rear end.
They will somehow call you a RINO, so it’s been totally detached from principle and what you actually believe in results, and it’s more about, you know, just what faction you happen to do. So there’ll be people who are huge Trump supporters, like in Congress, who have incredibly liberal left-wing records that are really just atrocious. And yet they’re viewed by some of these folks as like, really, really good.”
What this writer does not realize is putting the comment in question in context makes it way, way, WAY worse. The sanctimonious attitude is glaring.
I rather be a listless vessel the a drowning one.
Guess he’s a commie bas*ard then because he’s Paul Ryan’s puppet and a Fox News do everything they tell him todo . I guess he thinks 75 million people are brainless and can’t think for themselves. Guess he just lost 75 million votes if by some freak accident Trump doesn’t make it and he would. I would rather vote for Vivex then him any day of the week. But as it is Trump is my man.
Vivek is no better – just smoother.
Universal write-ins for PDJT – including in every state where they are supposedly “not allowed.”
Writing Trump’s name in is my only option, the rest can go to hell. Spread the word!
Vivek is a sell out and NO better than desantis! Vivek, nicki haily, tim scott are all rinos!!!
Trump is THE only TRUE candidate and FIT for running this country.
“…reestablish the core values of the uni-party….”
Fixed a typo…
Lucy Ricardo had a suggestion for poor Ron:
“Are you tired, run down, listless?”
“Do you poop out at (Republican) parties?”
“Are you unpopular?”
“The answer to all your campaign problems is in this little bottle of VitaMeatBallVegamin!”
“So why don’t you join the millions of happy, peppy, deplorables and get a great big bottle of VitaMeatBallVegamin tomorrow!”
One of the greatest skits of all time!
🤣
You can still watch “I Love Lucy” on PLUTO. She still makes me laugh.
Ugh, watched a minute, couldn’t take it anymore. Name calling is sooooo been there done that. But yay, another name for me. A listless vessel! Ron? You’re done!
GRD, as his Super PAC calls him, is listing severely, taking on more water than his bilge pumps can handle. My question is what will he do when he comes back to Florida? What damage will he do to the “Listless Vessels” AKA citizens of Florida as retribution for our “betrayal”. Stormy seas ahead for us I fear.
DeSantis’ campaign currently resembles the iconic image from the Wide World Of Sports intro of the ski jumper crashing at the bottom of the platform. The Agony Of Defeat, indeed.
Ron, gtfo of the way will ya?!! You’re like a gnat that won’t go away. Let us deplorables and empty vessels fix our country while you wait in the unemployment line. Some of us got work to do!
Well said!
Those already in line would kick him out of it.
Happiest man in America this morning is that Ramswarmy guy.
DeSimp not only handed him the gun, he put the silver bullet in for him, and the others. Hope they hammer him with it.
Big mistake Mr. Governor. Didn’t you learn anything from Hillary?
Evidently he learned a lot from her.
The soft-handed, supercilious effetes who call themselves elite inched their way into the American way of life asthe snobby Ivy Leaguers who helped FDR build out the crooked FEDGOV bureaucratic structure. That holier-than-thou snobbery is baked into bureaucracy everywhere. The world-wide cadre of anonymous bureaucrats who carry out the wishes of the global bankers are an interlocked world-wide bureaucracy. They may speak different languages at home but at the office, they are all speaking the same crooked tongue–words meant to enslave people & destroy liberty. It is a global leadership crisis and those of us who are not bureaucrats are what’s for dinner.
Hmmm…. let’s see, what’s the best way to alienate voters…. I know! I’ll call them listless vessels and sneer at their intelligence and judgement. Ronnie, you just keep getting worse and worse.
If there was ANY doubt about desantis, this removes it. He says what he thinks of us. He just sank any hope of his career that was already a sinking ship. The good news is that his true colors came out now before sneaking into the wh.
God bless President Trump!!!
He is THE only candidate!!
So that’s their fix…huh? Call all of us…the MAGA supportors…80, 90, oh maybe 100 million or more and growing…listless vessels? What idiots these people are. How did ‘deplorable work out for Hillary? They have no imagination, no spirit, no ingenuity! Listless? Sounds and looks more like them! And for the video above….little Ronnie makes me sick now like so many others out there that I can not bring myself to even listen to their voices! On both sides of the so called isle. Ron is just about where McConnell, Graham, Hannity….many others are. Sick of them! Don’t want to see or hear them…
PERIOD!
And hey Ronnie…at least our listless vessels are afloat…you are a sinking ship and the rats don’t even know it….although apparently Murdoch has seen you are sinking…word has it he’s throwing his anchor over to Youngkin…so he can watch that one sink too!
These people are stupid!
The worst thing Ron could do is call MAGA listless vessel he is desperate
Game on I am one pissed off Irish Women
Irish Dementia: Where you forget everything except the grudges! Stupid Ronnie.
Obama: bitter clingers
Hillary: deplorables
DeSantis: listless vessels
Ron just keeps deficating in his hat…
Wasn’t Ronda Santis in the Navy ? A listing vessel is bad news, A listless vessel is straight and upright. Ronda needs some new writers.
Agree, using them together defies logic.
Doesn’t matter to me.. I resent being called a vessel.
Late to the party, but what was with the interviewer’s response to the empty vessel?
“Thomas Massie wants to legalized raw milk.”
That sure came out of left field.
And good for Massie!
Wow, I can’t even stand to watch or see the guy anymore. Pathetic.
He wears 4 inch cowboy heels, and he could make them 6, but he’d still be standing in the shadow of a giant! Trump 2024
DeSantis had a shot to be a GOP star. And blew it.
Apparently young Ron doesn’t understand who put his ass in the Governor’s Mansion. Dick Hole.
F him, and F his family! Every now and then, a politician lets the mask slip and tells us what they really think
Did he just call us “deplorables?”
Yep now I need to buy a new t-shirt for my scarlet letters
my other is filled up front and back what with Deplorable.
Nazi, Facists, Whatever phobe of the month..Ultra MAGA
Now I will add Listless Vessel on my new shirt. Wonder
how long it will take for me to fill that on up.
Ron might as well call the people that elected him governor deplorable. I don’t think he gets it! You listen to the wrong bunch Ronnie!
Ron DeSimp, watching with the sound off tells us much more, he’s anxious, very angry (why aren’t I ahead by 50 pts.)blinks and bobs constantly, and has adopted Casey’s compulsive talking pattern. He’s a loser and knows it but doesn’t want to admit it, probably never will, thus the inner conflict.
Then there’s those pesky rich donors, and the most inept advisors to ever run a campaign, or are they?
One of their goals was to get him out of Florida, that mission was accomplished, the other was to get rid of Trump, that mission a huuuge failure.
The Executive (King, Chieftain, PM, Bloody Dictator, Benevolent Dictator, President, etc.)
The Elite (Corporate Elite, Oligarchy, Aristocracy, Lesser Royals, Unelected Deep State, Swamp, etc.)
The People
Aristotle to Fukuyama have described the interplay of these three throughout history…and the dynamic between this trio has created everything from the Magna Carta to the French Revolution.
The Elite salivate over China’s cheap (slave) labor and enormous consumer market potential. The Elite currently roll there eyes at the laid off machinist in Ohio. More Meth, Craft beer and Box scores to keep him quite.
Trump is an Avatar…a National Populist Avatar…for The People.
Type into your favorite search engine:
“Trump is Hitler.”
“Putin is Hitler.”
“Jinping is Hitler.”
Compare the number of hits…then ponder why the differences.
Ronny, you got suckered boy, made a big deal in the back of a limo, the handlers turned you out before you even got to the big show. They won’t save your ass and you can’t save it from yourself. Listless and unprincipled my ass…
Apparently Ron! doesn’t even know the definition of listless–(of a person or their manner) lacking energy or enthusiasm.
I have never been more energized or enthusiastic for a candidate and his policies for America than Donald J Trump!
And does the crowd in the picture above look like they are “LISTLESS”? Talk about smearing over half the Country, you just did it Ron!
We! the People, Deplorables, loath you, Ron DeSantimonious!
It was psychological projection.
He himself is listless.
Balsa* hasn’t an original thought to offer now, having exhausted the low hanging fruit of Florida policies, and knows full well he is a shadow of a real candidate. His corporate handers will keep this up hoping to shave off enough support to ensure they aren’t subjected to another MAGA uprising…
* Balsa? He’s a light, soft, easily worked form of Wood**, Aspirations but no real foundation. Could I call him Balloon?
** Wood? Remember him, the listless brother of neocon W? RDS aspires to be like him, yet only takes on the corporate-approved attributes, leaving of course no others to even emulate…
Creepy SOB.
Indeed!
Oh, and PS – I haven’t accessed Truth Social for months, possibly not at all this year. Unnecessary. MAGA already knows, none need tell us the truth.
I still like going there. Great memes and plenty of delightful PDJT pictures and witty comments by our President.
Nuttin’ wrong with that in my point of view.
He just gave a silver bullet to his opponents, haha hoho Meatball has to go.
It is not accurate that “he called trump supporters listless vessels” in the exchange. He said if all you do is wait for the word to come down and act on whatever that is. the you are a listless vessel. This is not the same thing
How is Flop Gov not calling MAGA Listless Vessels?
His Full statement below, not just the parts you clipped.
“A movement can’t be about the personality of one individual,” DeSantis said. “If all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”
I am insulted by that statement.
MAGA is far more than President Trump. He is our Front man. America will Hear us roar!
Maybe, but equally insulting.
The reason Ron’s campaign tanked is because we are not mindless or easily led. MAGA voters are intelligent, independent thinkers. We follow the granular details. We recognize what Ron’s pro-TPP stance means in its impact on the economy and outsourcing of American jobs. We follow state politics too and know that in May Ron signed a law that will block election integrity activists from voting data that just this year was utilized to uncover and prove machine fraud in Florida .
Ironically Ron would be flying high in the polls if we were in fact easily led, listless vessels. MAGA is policy and principle based and noted for being independent thinkers, unfortunatley for Ron.
I’m paraphrasing The Gipper from earlier in this thread — We support President Trump because he is the singular candidate who stands up for mainstreet Americans. Ron, can’t and won’t stand up for us, in part because he has to implement whatever orders flow from his donors.
“Ironically Ron would be flying high in the polls if we were in fact easily led, listless vessels. MAGA is policy and principle based and noted for being independent thinkers,”
Perzactly! That is what the sanctimonious one and his handlers don’t get.
So Steve Brown, who are you?
Biden was Robert Peters.
Are you Carl Rove? Paul Ryan?
You’re funny Steve.
MAGA sees through you.

Sundance nicely encapsulates the America First policies that set him apart from the Democrats and establishment GOP, but it’s important to detail how opposition to those policies unites the Uniparty.
Immigration: The Democrats favor this to expand their dependency-driven constituency by demographically replacing self-reliant middle class people that think for themselves with desperate underclass ones that will bond to their party like a starving stray dog allowed into a new home. The lowering of labor costs by immigration also helps Democrats buffer the inflationary effects of their massive deficit spending, while Republican donors want lower labor costs to increase profits.
Economics: Democrats like exportation of higher-paying manufacturing jobs to (again) decrease the middle class demographic and importation of inexpensive goods to (again) decrease the inflationary affects of their massive deficit. Also, Democrats like helping other countries that are often socialistic and sometimes outright anti-USA. Republican donors just want to expand their profits resulting from unimpeded trade no matter how corrupt the country is.
Foreign Policy: Democrat’s socialistic instincts make them natural globalists, willing to sacrifice our treasures and squander our heritage for countries that share their values. Also, there is power to be wielded by all the spending associated with globalism, and developing those associations with foreign entities can be devised to mutually benefit their own quest for power here at home. Republican donor’s priority is maintaining stability of world markets, and sacrifices by Americans to support this mission must be made.
It’s hammer time baby. If the other candidates don’t take this gift, then they are idiots too.
Another paid parrot from the Wall St Billionaires..
