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.
Hope he pulls and Pence soon and drops out.
/and/ a/
Neither are comfortable in their own skin.
DeSantis is painful to watch.
Yesterday, Macro posted a great speech by Oliver Cromwell – to Parliament on April 20, 1653 – I printed it out for my Mom and was re-reading it – this line especially made me think of Pence:
“Ye have no more religion than my horse.”
Cromwell was a war criminal. He and his men butchered Catholics.
And the Catholics were worse. Ever hear of the inquisition?
The phrase “all hat and no cattle” comes to mind. Yee-haw, ‘cept ronnie got bucked off at the big rodeo.
Hilarious
This little man doesn’t even have the hat. It’s pathetic.
Is Ron DeSantis attempting to channel Ronald Reagan . . . ?
deshanty possesses neither the intellect nor discernment to channel humpty dumpty… hence the booty pic
Cowboy boots worked for Reagan but little Ronny does not have what it takes to pull that off.
Ronald Reagan would not have let himself be caught dead in those hideous boots!
(My dear late cousin would have said “your mom sure dresses you funny”…)
Doughboy is “All-boots and bullsh-t.”
I picture him on the coin operated kiddie horse in front of a grocery store with his new boots on.
“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. “
Internal sabotage so obvious right from the start. I do believe the Florida legislature also had a hand in the sabotage by repealing the Resign to Run Law. Those few who knew him best or worst wanted America to see what a little whore he is.
He talked a good game, and fooled a lot of people. His political career is over just like they planned.
Every time RINO senator, John “Cowboy” Cornyn appears in Texas he has on his Lucchese boots and his Stetson hat. At the 2019 MAGA Rally in Dallas, 22,000 Patriots BOOED him off the stage.
As we say in Texas, “Cornyn is all hat and no cattle”
You’re referring to ‘Big John’ Cornyn…..Kentuckians should know he is like baby brother of ‘Root & Branch’ McConnell…..
All co-padres of the Bush Clan that taught us to ‘Read their Hips’……
“All-boots and bullsh-t.”
Well, he definitely looks like a moron. If that saboteur in the DeSantis campaign did this, then I say to you: well done. Because I can’t think of any criticism to say which would be more potent than simply looking at those boots with that suit on a man whom I believe is trying to be serious.
This is what happens when a conceited amateur attempts to ascend to a position that they are totally unqualified for. First, it appears that Casey forgot to lay out his wardrobe for the day, and second, why does Ron always assume the latrine position (elbows on legs and hunched over while leading forward) when sitting and pontificating an explanation or answering a question? It makes me recall the way the DJT detractors always complained about his perceived image as a reason for their dislike while completely ignoring the substance of DJT’s accomplishments. That said, I don’t ever recall DJT either at a televised interview or a meeting with world leaders dressed in an manner not befitting the President of the United States.
“assume the latrine position” Way too funny WC! I was in that position this very morning, except no suit or cowboy boots. Mine was lounge pants and slippers!
Your assessment is spot on!
I second this!! I was laughing when I read this post. Well done, WC!
He assumes the position he finds most comfortable.
That explains him in a nutshell.
Hubby calls that the “Thinking position”.
Considering how Ron is doing in the political arena it could be called the “stinking (or sinking) position”.
Not to put too fine a point on it… but your “WC” moniker fits the post.
Ronda is the first one ever to pull himself down by the bootstraps.
“It’s not the Boot, it’s the Loot!”
I think those are boots with lifts in them. It’s more noticeable if you see him from the side; his ankles/legs are at an awkward angle.
It looks like he’s wearing high heals inside the boots.
heh
He must have back pain from the strain.
I like cowboy boots. I don’t like politicians.
This getup is yeehaw George Bush/Sebastian Gorka grade goofy.
Speaking of Gorka, There’s a commercial with him promoting some sleeping medication or something. He gets into bed with his suit on! I said to my wife, are they some kind of special PJ’s that look like a suit?
Sundance, what you are referring to is called manly footwear where I live. Most of us never wear cowboy boots because most of us don’t even own a horse and have never ridden one. But the people among us who do ride horses as part of their lifestyle and/or vocation, wear that kind of boot for a very simple reason. It is the best boot style you can devise for the stirrups attached to the saddle they sit on as they ride a very large animal which can throw them off easily with about 3 seconds of frightened behavior. The pointed boot toes are much easier to slide into the stirrups when mounting and out of the stirrups when dismounting the horse. More importantly the high heels on the boots allow the rider to secure his footing in the stirrups while he is on the horse. Now take a closer look at the boots on Meatball’s feet. They are perfect for riding boots.
That said, these are fine boots that Meatball should never be wearing because his only reason for wearing them would be to make himself look taller. All politicians know that the taller man usually wins the election if ignorant voters are casting a decent percentage of the votes. Your thesis is correct, why is that clown even wearing boots which are clearly not designed for street service? But don’t ridicule those boots as being silly. They are still putting meats on the table for all of us.
Got mine at Capitol Saddlery via Jerry Jeff Walker…Goat ropers need love too….Onward through the Fog….
Most of the few cowboys I’ve known wear the more rounded toe roper style with lower heels for actual work and the pointed ones for social occasions.
But maybe that’s just what I’ve encountered.
Right! His are dress boots. Cocktail boots.
Wrong. There is no such thing as cocktail boots.
‘What you are referring to is called manly footwear where I live’ – Pokey
Quite correct. It’s only ‘goofy’ to yankees and Floridians (but I repeat myself).
Them boots are made of alligator skin, son – one that young Ron wrassled, tied up, and skint hisself.
Next stop for Ron: the Florida Man Games™ – where the athletes are … let’s just say, unconventionally talented. From wrestling in the mud to running from actual sheriff’s deputies, The Florida Man Games™ is where the bizarre meets brawn and sanity is optional.
Do they have a wife-carrying event?
If you ask me, those boots look too big for him. Notice how the toes are curled up? That indicates a foot doesn’t fit the boot. Toes don’t fill the box properly and the foot flexes too far from the front causing the toe box of the shoe to curl upward.
It can also be indicative of a lifter in the heel box.
Cowboy boot toes do turn up.
2000380469_200_P1.JPG
They don’t bend in the middle when there’s a foot in it, though.
Mine don’t when they are on my feet…
I think you need to look at Ronnie’s toes up empty toe box. Sorry, Sybil, those boots are two sizes too big for the guvnuh
“Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won’t be seen
Football’s still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college dean.”
Merle Haggard
But not those boots with that suit, and not as part of your Halloween costume.
Agree with this. You caught me using a Merle Haggard lyric from one of his several dozen great songs. As far as I am concerned there are only two kinds of real music. Country and Western, and Haggard was one of the very best.
Yknow, my python boot is too tight
I couldnt get it off last night
A week went by, an now it’s july
I finally got it off
An my girl-friend cry
You got stink foot! stink foot, darlin
Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose!
Stink foot! stink foot! I aint lyin,
Can you rinse it off, dyou suppose?
Frank Zappa
He’s trying desperately to identify with some group, any group, of people like cowboys, rough and tumble guys, you know, REAL men. Huge fail.
Exactly.
He is trying to be a cowboy, because you know, Nevada.
Beating a dead horse.
“In the ridin’ and a ropin’ I was closin’ in No 1
Now in dreams at night I ride on that silver saddle I never won
Since she left me the whiskey takes me to the rodeo grounds
Where the cowboys think I’m handy, I’m Bandy the rodeo clown”
Moe Bandy
Spot on 👍
It seems to me that the same argument could be made for the entire, current, fraudulent administration. Otherwise how to explain the shit show of obviously clinically insane characters they keep parading in front of We The People, starting with the Resident himself?
Casey just wanted her man to have a few more inches.
“She knew the cowboy boots he should wear, even though, at first, he complained that they hurt his feet, until a staffer suggested he buy dress shoes instead, at which point he said, “Casey got them for me,” and that was the end of the conversation about the cowboy boots.”
Looks like DeSantis lost quite a few pounds to boost his image, yet his disposition turns sour at the rest of us who don’t support his current presidential bid.
The over the-top-boots is to turn people not to notice his shortcomings but on some superficial non-relevant wardrobe choices.
Those boots will end up at the Good Will Store after only being worn once or twice. Anyone in Florida should keep their eyes open for a good bargain.
Shameless pandering. And OMG– is that Adam Laxalt sitting next to him? Laxalt was a HUGE disappointment here in Nevada. He endorses Trump, Trump endorses him, and then Laxalt dumps him for DeSantis. They deserve each other.
Are those the boots that have the hidden lifts inside to make him look taller? From the picture angle it sure does appear so. There’s too much instep.
Are those oversized boots alligator or ostrich?
Culture appropriation fail.
There’s a song in there somewheres –
“(I thew My Back Out of Whack and Now I Can’t Look Back) When I Had My Head Buried in the Sand While Wearing My (Hydraulic Lift) Ostrich Boots”
something like that . . . needs work
What happens in Nevada, stays in Nevada
Like people in NV are all cowpokes and too stupid to know cowboy boots are NOT part of his usual attire.
And like those outside of NV will never see this aberration.
I think pyschs call it ‘wrong thinking’
???? a JOKE…
Short men favor cowboy boots because they add height without the notoriety of elevator shoes.
Yet Runt has elevator shoes shoe-horned into his cowboy boots!
Peruse the thread, you’re in for a treat!
I believe the proper term for DeSantis is “shabbos goy”
That’s what I love about Trump. He is who he is. He doesn’t pretend to be something he is not.
Well, lots of people also dress according to the forecast.
DeSantis would know if “it’s about to get deep” in that venue.
Trying to get some of us MAGA hillbillies on board. All boots no cattle. Thank you no. Hard pass.
The final nail in the coffin Dukakis moment.
The Red R + d in the Tom Petty inspired, starred insignia (top pic=bottom left)
jumps out as rather Uni-Party…ish…
RD is conveniently his monogram… so he can boast his uni-party affiliation loud-&-proud but with plausible deniability. That might have been one of his most attractive campaign qualities going in for the initial investors.
When will this insider reveal that DeSantis is a former member of The Village People
🫤
DeFraud falsely believes that his “cowboy” boots gives him authenticity.
There’s a time & place for wearing something that is unique to your being. Wearing mismatched footwear with suits is not one of those times.
Did anyone else see the pic of DeFraud wearing WHITE, knee high, rubber boots after the last hurricane? Come on now… couldn’t he find a black pair that fit him?
What happened to DeFraud’s former press secretary, Brian Griffin? I know he resigned… could he be the insider Sundance’s friend is talking about?
Is Brian Griffin related to Ken Griffin?
Listless Vessel, Deplorable, and Trump Cultist that I am, I could have given DeSantis better advice than he’s getting.
If DeSantis can’t see that his handlers are making a fool out of him, then he deserves to be a laughing stock.
Cowboy boots are his attempt to “relate to the common man”?
hahaha. That’s the only thing I can think of.
It’s his only hope of seeing us eye to eye, even if we don’t actually see eye to eye, you see, because, oh, forget it, he’s a dork.
He’s trying to project a “tough guy” image, but just came off looking like a goof.
What is worse than DeFraud’s goofy boots with a suit…is his lack of ability to be embarrassed.
DeFraud’s political career is over. He’s humiliated himself multiple times.
He’s such a ho…he has no shame.
I’ve said over & over since DeFraud started campaigning under the guise of a “book tour”…
The DeCeitful DeFraud couple is DYING to become fabulously wealthy & have a seat at the globalist table.
Yea Cowboy boots. Except are they really LIZARD SKIN boots.
conservative groups r calling on deshanty to end his prez campaign and return home to govern… i predict his failed attempt will end very soon… but will his smug, self righteous arrogance allow him to rise above the chatter and endorse Trump? I say nay
“War” – “Low Rider” – theme music suggestion for Ron DeSantis, should he decide to install hydraulic self-actuating valves in those boots!

“He’s gone country,
Just look at them boots”
Lol, poser.
As if the meatball needed any help torpedoing his campaign! He could do it all by himself! What a clown!
If he wants western footwear, he should follow through with a boot cut western suit. Just my opinion. It’s not the boots that bother me, since I’m a westerner by heart it is the way, the pants ride up high over them. And ditch the purple tie for a bolo.
I think he is an Easterner by heart trying to appeal to the flyover and (the word Hillary called us) group.
Hey! Those are ‘them thar’ cowboy boots… I’m in Nevada, don’t ya’ know?
There is only one reason DeSantis hasn’t called it quits yet and it is a sinister one:
he was promised that the DOJ would remove his opponent.
Proverbs 1:
10
My child, if sinners entice you,
turn your back on them!
11
They may say, “Come and join us.
Let’s hide and kill someone!
Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!
12
Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave;
let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.
13
Think of the great things we’ll get!
We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.
14
Come, throw in your lot with us;
we’ll all share the loot.”
15
My child, don’t go along with them!
Stay far away from their paths.
16
They rush to commit evil deeds.
They hurry to commit murder.
17
If a bird sees a trap being set,
it knows to stay away.
18
But these people set an ambush for themselves;
they are trying to get themselves killed.
19
Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money;
it robs them of life.
Thank You, Father!
If he was a lifelong Texan who always wore western boots and a cowboy it would be fine. But this looks like some phony stunt to make him appear like some tough sheriff in the old west.
You will never see President Trump pandering like Ron.
A question was asked which was did DeSantis always wear cowboy boots or did he start when he decided to run for president. No one answered so I looked it up. It was when he positioned himself to run. Just a fact I thought someone might like to know. I sure did.
Take Rodin’s iconic statue of The Thinker. Put Ron DeSantis’ face and cowboy boots on it and you’d have a great meme!
