Ron DeSantos wearing white boots and it's not a fake!
Late-night Jimmy Kimmel: “You're not allowed to pass a 'Don't Say Gay' bill then show up in public dressed like Nancy Sinatra.”

Weird, don't ya think?

"The President pointed a finger directly at GOP House negotiators over their “extreme” demands, warning, “I can’t guarantee that they wouldn’t force a default by doing something outrageous.”
"Biden directly blamed acolytes of former President Donald Trump, stating: “I think there are some MAGA Republicans in the House who know the damage it would do to the economy, and because I am president, and a president is responsible for everything, Biden would take the blame and that’s the one way to make sure Biden’s not reelected.”
"I’m afraid that the brutal truth is that MAGA adherents in the House GOP are working to tank the economy, because they believe it will help Republicans win back the White House in 2024 – even if it leads to an economic catastrophe."
"This provision of the Constitution—enacted after the Civil War to ensure that the Confederate states rejoining the United States could not block payment of the war debts incurred by the Union in the war—provides that, “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law…shall not be questioned.”
"Let Republicans file a lawsuit seeking to drive the United States into a default to destroy that. I’m confident that, come 2024, it will only give voters another reason to reject the GOP."

Couldn't have happened to a bigger jerk than him...

"In the hypothetical rematch between Trump and Biden, Biden ekes out a win with 48 percent of registered voters to Trump’s 46 percent. That split hasn’t changed since late March."
"The survey found 56 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters back the former president. He holds a 31-point lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who officially kicks off his White House campaign Wednesday."
"Trump’s support is up 9 points since late March, while DeSantis’s is down 8 points in that same period. Twelve other GOP candidates — both declared and potential — got just 3 percent or less, putting the pair of Republicans alone at the top."

"The man who was infamously photographed with his feet on a desk in then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office during the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol was sentenced Wednesday to four and a half years in prison."
"Richard Barnett, also known as “Bigo,” was convicted by a jury in January of eight charges, including civil disorder."

Oh, and while we're at it, the man who carried the confederate flag thru the capitol got three years and his son got three:

I listened to the glitches on the intros-snippet played on MSNBC news this evening and it was a total cluster----.  Also, I could have sworn Musk said DeSantos and not DeSantis but I'll have to try and find a replay of it to be sure...

Well then, how about right wing media and their commentary about the twitter announcement?
"Steve Bannon, a former top Trump aide turned commentator said the DeSantis' campaign launch was a "historic screw up."
"Failure to launch," another political commentator Kimberly Guilfoyle tweeted. "Trump 2024."
"This is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to a presidential candidate and it’s not close. Just hold a rally," David Marcus, a conservative columnist, tweeted."
"Absolutely brutal start to Ron DeSantis’ campaign," Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump, tweeted. "He came off both robotic and awkward without needing a camera!""Rep. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, tweeted, "Ron DeSantis: crashing poll numbers and crashing Twitter spaces."

I guess, like Greg, ya all missed it...

Take a look at DeSantos' interview last night on Faux:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5c54KAdX4E
Really?! He was asked what he would do on day one as president on the Russia Ukraine war, and if you can find his answer in what he said, please let us all know...

"Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Thursday appeared to criticize Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for saying he’ll consider pardoning Jan. 6 defendants if elected president, arguing that anyone with such plans “is not qualified” for the White House."
“Any candidate who says they will pardon Jan. 6 defendants is not qualified to be President,” Cheney wrote on Twitter.
How true...

Heckler gets it right and labels DeSantos for what he is:
" You’re a f—— fascist.”
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4032382-desantis-shouts-down-heckler-at-south-carolina-rally/
DeSantos has also stated he wants two terms to eliminate "leftism". That's what a fascist thinks and does: eliminates an opposing political ideology...
