This is not an intelligent man of temperate disposition. This is an empty vessel filled with the thoughts, catchphrases, and opinions of others, including his apparel.
What is this choice of goofy footwear supposed to represent?
DeSantis spoke with DailyMail.com ahead of his remarks at a breakfast with Nevada Republicans at Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip. (Source)
Someone once swore to me that a person very close to DeSantis was intentionally undermining his effort because they quietly disliked (immensely) the fraudulent operation surrounding this long-planned 2024 presidential bid. I laughed it off, but they were very serious. As time goes on, and these subtle exhibitions of his authentically stupid persona surface, I no longer dismiss that prior statement.
Highpockets rides again! 🤠
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mean meme!
Thank you for that laugh. The love of my life passed 4 years ago and had a childhood friend referred to as “High pockets” with his short jacket with ‘high pockets’. Cheers.
Looks like the Ozempic pens that were in the bling bag for first loser contest worked.
He can be a spokesman for them here shortly.
That reminds me of that story Rush Limbaugh told of the kid he went to school with who insisted that his big brothers were the Cartwrights.
He’s trying our for the lead in “Midnight Cowboy”.
I’m old enough to remember watching that movie.
How about Brokeback Mountain?
EEEWWWW!
Gag Me Maggot!
Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse made a spoof of Brokeback Mountain as if it starred Laurel and Hardy. IT is amazing!
I just watched it last week
“Ey! I’m walkin’ heahhhhh”
“I just watched it last week”
… Midnight Cowboy, that is … not the Brokeback
don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression about ol’ Nimrodman
“I am Nimrodman and I approved this message”
Appreciate the clarification.
My world view was crashing all around me!
De nada, it’s fans like you I was concerned about, Maquis
that photo enlarges further with a click, by the way
Thanks for the warning.
LOL
Like I would want to do that?
Moochell’s x?👀😂
Good old Rodman.
If memory still is working I think I read he was working as a package handler for UPS or such before the round ball show kicked off.
Seems that is a 180 course from what the majority of all the “college educated” ball players of present end up.
Interesting biography, many huge challenges including paternal abandonment.
Strong character: Rodman turned away from suicide and became his own person. Wiki doesn’t say anything about UPS, but lots of other interesting details about this man
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Rodman
MJ had endless words about D-Rod’s defensive skills, and his heart. Weird-*** showboat he might’ve been, but his game was every bit what it coulda shoulda been.
I have actually been wondering if Nimrodman IS Dennis Rodman?
He actually did some actual diplomatic work in North Korean, and yes, was a stalwart reason for the Bulls success in the MJ era.
Nim is a science minded surf bum with a refined aesthetic.
And a acute sense of humor.
Thank you for the clarification Maquis!
Happy to help!
Rodman, God bless you . . . with all of your makeup, hairdos and shenanigans, that is all to see past in my mind’s eye after what you did to endeavor to bring together Chairman Kim and Donald Trump . . . you are tall, of course, but you also stand way taller in terms of character and heart than that midget clown with the bowtie and mustache, John “Libyan Model” Bolton . . . I hope you are doing well!
Channeling his inner, John Voight…
Don’t insult Jon Voight…pleez….
Jon Voight starred in Midnight Cowboy. Was one of his best performances and his break out role to stardom..😊no disrespect to this great man😊
Free on Tubitv.com last I looked.
Was thinking they are participation trophy for acting on 2 stages.
One as our governor, two as a legitimate presidential candidate.
On the other hand it could be a real reward for just being an ass.
Question–If those are Gator hide, did they come from a beautiful Florida wetland or the DC swamp?
Was this a rhetorical question?
Yellowstone vibe….
He’s trying to appeal to Texans, and those that love Yellowstone.
Alternatively, he may be trying to appeal to the British whose take on Cowboys is thus ” UK informal
someone who is not honest, careful, or skillful in their trade or business, or someone who ignores rules that most people obey and is therefore not considered to be responsible:”
I won’t argue with the Brits on this occasion.
you wear boots like that, you better have the duster overcoat too
We see this fashion “statement” in Texas daily. Maybe they wear cowboy boots with suits in Nevada also. I know one thing: It is not customary in Florida
It’s a effort to gain an inch or so in height with boot heels.
Looks to be about four inch gain.
For what it’s worth.
It’s been common in Texas for decades. But the boots look classier. It’s like RdS’s don’t fit right.
Papa Bush could carry off that look…this one, not so much.
He has a funny body shape. Could improve greatly with a carnivore diet.
But in Texas, boot toes don’t turn up like ‘little elves slippers’, but Ron’s do!
Clearly Runt’s a little Mad.
I don’t think his toes extend down that far.
Indeed not.
He’s virtually walking on his tippy toes with his heel raised a few inches.
Rodman obeyed the rules on the court and I think deSantis acquitted himself well during the pandemic. Just because he will never be our President shouldn’t we honor his service as a damn good governor.
No, because everything he did was fake. It was all to gain the presidency. Who/what is the real DeSantis?
All cat and no hattle.
If you are gonna wear boots, better be able to…indeed.
That is Ft Worth and Houston attire. Dallas is a pretentious World-class city, not here. Ft Worth & Houston are more WYSIWYG towns.
Austin might be a Rodman friendly place.
Not sure about San Antonio, and El Paso would have a string tie.
He knows better than anybody that he’s spreading bullshit and he wants to keep it off his socks.
good one, son
hahahaha
But, but, but is that really you Justin! Sparkle Socks!
Aren’t those the new Crocs Cowboy boots?
Oooooh! Bitchy!
I’m wondering if Ron went to foam parties with Mario.
“It’s raining men! c’mon, everyone! sing it with me!”
One of my all time favs!
Trying to be a Texas Cowboy!
Apparently Ron De Santis likes fancy western boots. I prefer monotone, earth tones; but each to his own.
Would you criticize a woman for wearing extra-high heeled hooker pumps, or for wearing flats with a dress?
De Santis has to know his run is done, in any case.
Would you criticize a woman for wearing extra-high heeled hooker pumps?
Yes. Bunions.
Depends on the numbers. BMI and IQ particularly.
yeah, depends on the woman, and the outfit.
Ideally, it all *workd”, or conversely, it very much DOESN’T.
Eagles had a damn good song about Those Shoes.
My husbands hated for me to wear flats.
“These boots are made for walking” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And thats just what they’re gonna do!
But these boots are not gonna be walking over YOU!
“made for walking”
Yeah, walking right off the national political stage in 3, 2, 1 …
Actually, I don’t believe that cowboy boots WERE made for walking. But I don’t see any horses in the background. Actually I’ve never seen DeSantis around a horse at all.
As Son mentioned, I don’t see any horses, but from what’s on the stage, there has to be one around there somewhere.
Won one for The Gipper!
He’s frequently around other jackass’s at the debates.
The Yale carpet baggers sure love their cowboy boots.
“You know — that whole Yale thing …”

What’s next? In the words of Flo-Rida
🎵🎵
Shawty had them apple bottom jeans (jeans)
Boots with the fur (with the fur)🎵🎵
Don”t ask.
Bums the word!
😉
The more I see, the more I wonder whether Ronnie is fully read-in and playing a specific role in this ‘movie’.
BTW, consider, in the image above, where a normal tibia would end and then the ankle and foot naturally sit… There is no foot in the end of these boots. This is beyond ridiculous.
He needs to borrow some “stuffers” from Casey.
His feet are sorta flat chested.
Prerzactly.
Beyond that, RDS and RFK,…’Jr.’ and to a lesser extent Ramalamadingdong, share a similar quality.
From a cursory glance, they look good, but then the closer you look, the worse they look.
RDS is ahead of the other two, and at the end of the process, the point when you are hurriedly turning away, and swallowing back the rising gorge.
Sorta along the lines of my rating system for women.
How far away must one be for them to appear attractive?
Nikki Hailey is a 100 yard woman.
Applied to Presidential Candidates, Runt is about an eighty, on a good day . . .
So…
Polling numbers ⬇️ = boot elevators ⬆️?
I think it‘s because Rod is a classless, vacuous, lost, empty, confused, fearful, clueless, mean. amoral teenager inside so he thinks the boots make him look tuff and uses them to compensate his feelings of powerlessness.
Tell us what you really think & don’t hold back this time…🙂
It may be that that kind of boot hides a 4-5 inch heel inside of it giving him the height he desires 🙂
Watch the video down thread on the first page!
Perfect proof of pretentious podiatric puffery!
.
I agree it’s the ability to have a heel. Plus the lifts inside. He’s pretending that wearing boots is his thing, which (my guess) is the reason for the “variety”, but the real reason is to fudge his height. He’s about the same height as Li’l Marco who also claims to be 5’9″. No way.
.
Very apropos.
Rons been revealed. Hes a heel.
But even though hes been exposed, Ron still tries to hide the heels he wears inside his cowboi boots.
RD’s angling toward a Tom Cruise Ninja movie deal.
It would take serious movie magic to make Runt fit into a Cruise flick.
He’s just getting a few days head start on Halloween.
All hat and no horse.. he’s trying so hard to appeal to Texans and Floridians, welp I suppose Cajuns too
Aggiegirl approves your message.
But does Bubbles?
All boot and no brains.
Alligator boots?
Majic boots that when the heels are clicked 3 times causes nothing.👀😳
This is literally about stature, heels and hidden lifts deployed for the appearance of height, because he’s not, tall.
It was clear he was wearing non-standard boots when he appeared on Real Time. At the end of the sit down interview he used red shoe Bill Maher’s hand to pull himself up.
Total Fraud!
My initial impression, Howdy Doody.
Always a Bridesmaid … never a Bride
https://fashiowanita.blogspot.com/2015/12/white-short-wedding-dresses-with-cowboy-boots.html
everyone got the “5 inches above the knee” memo except the gal on the left and peachy 2nd from right
Actually, No. Their Dad said they could not wear any skirts/dresses that did not touch their kneecaps when standing or the floor when kneeling. Shorts either. And let’s don’t even get started on bathing suits.
Sorry, I just had a flashback.
Lookey here. Meatball and team DeSanctimonius singing their swan song, “Crocodile Shoes!”
Music with a sense of humor!
The boots appear to be what’s called “invisible height increasing elevator shoes” (look it up) in a western boot style; high heels made to look like boots. They are called invisible because they are made with a normal heel and a built-in lift on the inside. My guess is that the boots add at least 3″ to his height.
I was looking to see if I could find boots that look like that and came across this;
https://defector.com/is-ron-desantis-wearing-hidden-platform-heels-inside-his-stupid-ugly-boots-an-investigation
LOL Guess I’m not the only one to notice.
Yep needs more height.
We go through this every time…
TSA rules: all candidates must remove footwear amd stand in front of any obstructions on level floor.
I am no DeSantis fan but those are just cowboy boots. No big deal here in Texas.
Most people who wear boots like this get the manure on the outside.
DeSoros, well, hasn’t quite got the hang of that yet.
And his perpetual wearing of that navy blue sweater vest to supposedly cover his large belly is just another wardrobe foible that cries: “make me a meme laughingstock, please!”
And I bet that vest smells!
You know, Sundance, you’re pushing to the edge. It’s becoming harder to ignore your disrespect for DeSantis, especially when you attack something as simple as wearing boots. You might be quite surprised how many people read what you wrote that were offended by your tone and attitude.
You don’t know DeSantis personally. Please stop with the personal attacks. The more you do it, the more your reputation takes a hit. Show some class. This is not that.
Tone!
muh tone
Mean tweets! 😱
Argo,…as in argofuc,…well if you saw the movie, you know.
It is a natural instinct to ridicule the “pretending” variety of a politicians who mean us harm.
YOU don’t even know if Sundance knows him personally. So steffup. Get out if you don’t like the tone set. Go coxy up to Judas Pence or the loser we see above. Sure you fit thier set of goals.
You’re about to cross a line here. Are you sure you want to go this nasty? Jim has a right to his opinion. You do not have to like it. People do not have to “get out” of the Treehouse if they aren’t in lockstep with you.
Sundance’s reputation taking a hit? In whose world? His dwindling campaign staff.
Hahahahahahaha!
Priceless.
I’m a Floridian impacted by Meatball’s actions / inactions as Governor (like Sundance) and I have no respect whatsoever for Meatball.
Lots of folks w boots in their closets smirked a tTravolta, and laid offa wearing them at the airport and such until the Urbane Cowboy trend moved on. Weren’t really ‘offended’.
Last I heard Sundance was a lifelong taxpaying Florida resident, not someone who lives off the people he supposedly serves, so he has a right to criticize DeceptiCON RON! all he wants, just as you have the right to unjustly and ridiculously criticize Sundance.
This man stabbed his President and his state in the back. He is Judas DeSantis. That is all we need to know.
One does not have to know someone personally to criticize or defend them.
Show some class. And get a helmet.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My mother always told me brown shoes, blue suit was a gauche wardrobe malfunction. Big boots, no cattle. But don’t you at least have a black pair, pardner?
As an old saw in the 1950s: “Brown and Green look keen/ But only a joker wears Blue and ochre.”
Depends on the hair color and shade of brown and blue, but yeah, in this case black would have been the better choice if color was not the least of the problem.
Someone please explain to me how this take is any better than “orange man bad?” Sundance, you’ve descended into name calling of someone you’ve never met. How is that a Christian take on things? Give us the truth, but please without the judgemental, petty attacks.
It shows a lack of self-governance, when RDS puts on a pair of boots designed to increase his height . . . I appreciate Sundance pointing this out!
Sundance reports, we decide!
We also deride!
With gusto.
Jim M. is free to expresshis lame ass, prissy the equivalent of “mean tweets” views, just like any other commenter, and we are free to laugh.
Fair and balanced..Jim should be around when Sundance critiques the 🥔 potato…😁
Sundance is not here to preach a sermon. This is WAR….Also his site. Thin skin never won a battle.
.
Because it’s phoney. Because it’s lying. Because it’s unseemly. Because indicates ego issues, emotional or mental inferiority issues in the nature of a Napolean complex that we really just don’t want to have to deal with. Because it’s unattractive for a man who wants to be a leader to be this self-conscious. Because it echoes his copycatting in the shadow of 6’3″ Trump. And because UNLIKE “orangeman” which is silly (if anything Trump is “goldman”) — it’s true. Because it makes us wonder what else he is trying to fool us about.
.
Jim, so insulting Sundance is Christian? Maybe those who didn’t grow up with siblings or never played on a team don’t recognize the give and take that’s going on here. Ronald Reagan laughed until he cried when Don Rickles would insult him during a show.
bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….your feelings are hurt. If I had X I’d send out mean tweet to ya
How do you know Sundance never met the Meatball?
Do you work on Meatball’s staff, or as his personal assistant for appointments?
Wow, like a bad movie
I just LOVE the Sundance Fashion Section!
About as genuine as John Kerry’s: “Can I get me a hunting license here?”
It would be hilarious if he wore those crazy extra-long toed cowboy boots like they do in that Mexican village that have a festival based on them…
A bit flashy
His wife must pick out his footwear. And he is being walked all over by her, and President Trump, of course.
At least he will have a “nice look”, when he is a single and unemployed politician, and looking for “love” again.
Who can refuse a man who walks on alligators?
One who can clearly see he’s walking in them.
😁
He looks extremely constipated and those boots … what on earth is he thinking?
We all him tard face. He usually has has a retard look on how face.
Trump 2024
While everyone can’t help but notice his footwear, what is it with his cuffs? The suit arms seem too tight and the shirt cuffs are showing 4-5 inches. And his wrists are sticking out past his big white cuffs.
Dressing well is part of the image of a president that is shown to the world.
He’s not well put together it would seem.
This hyper-elevator boot situation must surely explain much of his pant fitting problems.
Ladies accentuate their posterior with pumps, Runt’s rocking a huge lift that will do the same to his, but I bet he never went to suit fittings wearing these things to allow the different anatomical geometry to be taken into account.
I seriously can’t believe the boots are worthy of criticism?
Better be careful Sundance…
You may find your home owner’s insurance with triple….
Oh wait…
Why is anyone still wasting time thinking about, writing about, complaining about DeSantis?
because he is stitll stupid enough to be out there. It is that simple. Put yourself out looking stupider that horse shat and get the blowback. AND you wear your pants long enough to cover our boots. ALL girls know that so it shows that mule Casey doesn’t know her shat either. Your jeans ALWAYS crump at the bottom so when you sit down they still cover the top of your boots and you don’t have “high water” britches. The simple stuff he can’t get.
It’s literally so dumb.
would be dumb not to show how dumb and stupid he is. He does not wear cowboy boots in Florida and he is just using this as a prop to try to impress. Huge failure like his whole campaign
It’s not the western boots that are bad. It’s the “high water” pants that make them stand out. Must be that “climate change” thingy going on. 🙄
Yep, high-water indeed. Spent enough time in cowboy country (daughter was a barrel-racer) that boots barely draw my attention – especially if other details are “off”, like here. Showing WAY too much boot, which is why they’re so noticeable (and commentable).
I was also thinking he’s gonna have a slightly awkward moment when he stands up, cause the cuffs of those pant legs are NOT gonna get there by themselves.
Having grown up in Arizona….
“It’s not the boots, it’s the dude wearing them.”
What the heck is on his feet?
Looks like two left boots to me. If it’s one of each, then they appear to be on backwards. Time to resume being one of the better governors in the country!
His governorship was defined by GOP operatives running his show, they had a cooperative Republican legislature, they had an image to project, lots of little wins, with lots of costly losses to the populace that haven’t even begun to approach the peak of their pain; his entire Governorship was an operation to set up this campaign.
Once his campaign goes completely bust, and he has as much as three years to serve out with no one working to craft an image for a future campaign, with his big donors not hoping for a big pay out but instead totally burned and looking to recoup their investment via even further economic exploitation and cost of living driven depopulation and property transfers to the monied class, and wanting further weaponization of the government to favor a future despotic Dem administration, Runt will not be anywhere near one of the better Governors in the country.
His thin skin with his massive failure and bearing the battle scars of wading into the arena with our Lion and his army of memers and patriots will not bring out a happier nicer Governor, he’s gonna hate the very people he is supposed to serve.
I doubt it will be pleasant for anyone.
While admitting that my eyesight is not what it was once upon a time (reading glasses) and that my imagination / suspicious nature gets the best of me from time to time, I have the following observations:
For the second time in a row regarding Mearball wearing cowboy boots, I have noticed that
1. Meatball appears to be wearing lifts inside the boots. It appears that his instep sets back and pressed hard against the top of the boots and the toe area seems void or empty on his foot in the boot;
2. On the right leg, there appears to be a bulge around his ankle towards the back of the shaft of the boot (moreso on the backside). I noticed that unusual ‘bulge’ on the left side the last time a picture of him in boots was published. Is he wearing an ankle monitor of some sort? The whole shaft on the right leg just looks so much more puffed out than than that on the left side.
Idk, but it’s all just surreal looking.
I have boots and used to wear them frequently back in the day and I don’t recall either pair of mine ever bulging like that around my ankles.
BK, I responded upthread on one of your observations here, but I am happy to repeat it; I believe the positioning of his feet so high in the boots, with his heel likely as much as four inches above the normal heel cup, the boots had to be modified with a higher top to keep his feet in and his gait minimally disrupted.
If they hadn’t he’d literally be in danger of kicking them off simply trying to walk normally.
They may even have had to fashion a strap system wrapped around his calf to keep them on, but I imagine the height extension exists even if they have straps, otherwise they’d be flippy and he’d be unstable.
So silly.
I can see that.
But what’s messing me up is one leg has a puffier side with a bulge than the other.
The last time a few days ago, the left side was like that and even more noticeable, like way bulged out.
Probably just me.
Recall that one’s foot essentially flops around in these boots, they aren’t fitted closely, the top opening is always going to be larger than the leg in it, when sitting the excess sloppage is going to have the top of the boot pushing this way or that, nature of the beast.
Wouldn’t show quite so odd in heavy jeans, but light suit material meant to drape is going to show off these oddities in unattractive and highly noticeable ways.
My five-year-old niece insists on wearing a princess costume every day. It could be something like that. The “I wanna be a cowboy” song by the appropriately named, Boys Don’t Cry, is stuck in my head.
Princess Meatball?
