    From USA Today: Strong fundraising is one of DeSantis' big advantages. He collected more than $200 million for his reelection bid, the most of any governor in U.S. history.

    Adolf Hitler Announces Run For President.

    [​IMG]

    'Political analysts have been left dumbfounded, struggling to comprehend how literally Hitler was back and in the flesh running for office in America. Despite the confusion and lack of support, the Hitler campaign vowed to press on, stopping at nothing to restore the Third Reich.'

    'At publishing time, Adolf Hitler closed his announcement speech by promising that as President the first things he’d do are: exterminate all undesirables, grow an iconic mustache, and invade Disney.'

    'Invade Disney? After seeing the last Star Wars sequel and clips from the new Indiana Jones movie, where do I sign up?!'

    Go DeSantis!

    DeSantis Signs Law That Strips Illegal Aliens of Their Drivers Licenses; Leftwing #Resistance Media Shrieks That Minorities Are Terrified of DeSantis.

    'Oh, and by the way: If you say “other politicians betrayed us.” No, wrong. Not like this. Other politicians offered you lip service with no action backing it up, mere words, mere promises that were immediately detectable as insincere when uttered.'

    'Rudy Giuliani, for example, almost immediately revealed himself as a pawn of the open borders corporate conspiracy when he said he would not build a wall, but instead would create a “virtual wall” of drones and electronic monitoring.'

    'Even the lip service offered by the open borders corporate conspirators has to be extracted from them under duress, because they so hated to even have to offer the Racist Promise of cracking down on illegal immigration.'

    'Name one politician who offered this much actual legislative and executive power action — acts, not words — and then “betrayed” people by then suddenly reversing himself and doing the exact opposite when elevated to a new office.'

    'You can’t. No such examples exist. In all of human history, there are zero examples of this crazy scenario unfolding.'

    'And for good reason — because this is literally an insane thing to do, and people who keep insisting that this is a likely outcome are talking up insane nonsense as a cope.'

    'Screwing over your voting base only makes any sense if there is some larger base with which you can replace the one you’re abandoning. Given all of what DeSantis has done on pronouns, on banning CRT and gender theory in public schools, on ending DEI majors at Florida universities, at busing illegals to blue cities, on cancelling illegal’s drivers licenses — what liberal/moderate base could DeSantis possibly appeal to after he executes his Long Con and “betrays” the right?5'

    'What does “betraying” conservatives actually get DeSantis?'

    'DeSantis has burned every bridge with the media and the NeverTrump/neocon contingent. They’re now praising Trump in order to attack DeSantis.'

    Run Ron Run!

    lol…your knowledge of human history is wrong.
    Nixon ran on the promise to get us out of Vietnam.
    Once elected, he widened the war by invading Cambodia as well.
    And this was after he colluded with the north Vietnamese to delay the ongoing Paris peace talks until after the election and he would give them a better deal.

    Did Joe Biden promise you a quagmire in the Ukraine when you elected him?

    Congress is rife with laws that they passed knowing full well the courts would strike them down, Congress is full of lawyers as members that know full well what is going to happen in court.
    They do this so they can go back crying to their supporters how they tried but liberal courts blocked their honest efforts. Horse hockey.

    We backed into Vietnam by having 'trainers' in field. I suspect the number of American Military in Ukraine exceeds whatever they admit to.

    US troops deployed in Ukraine, Biden spokesperson confirms

    Apr 12, 2023 'A defense attaché is a military service member appointed to an embassy abroad as a representative of their country's military. In Ukraine, U.S. defense attachés advise the U.S. ambassador and other personnel on "all defense and security matters and [provide] timely, accurate information to senior leaders on defense and security issues affecting Ukraine and the region," according to the ...'

    'The U.S. has confirmed there is a “small U.S. military presence” deployed in Ukraine after leaked documents indicated several Western countries had special forces units on the ground amid Russia’s invasion.'

    'The comment came after a leaked top secret document indicated 14 U.S. special forces units were in Ukraine, as well as 50 from the U.K. and 33 from other NATO member countries, as reported by BBC.'

    DeSantis Very Concerned About Trump Who Seems To Be "Running To The Left" and having some weird sort of Bromance with Cuomo.

    [​IMG]
    "I don’t know what happened to Donald Trump..."

    Regardless of what has become of Trump, he stopped Hillary in 2016, the Middle Class have fabulously rising incomes, he started no new wars, in short, he was a fabulous president, but, he failed to take out the Deep State, which is task we are giving to the next President. I think that DeSantis might have the better skill set for the job at hand, though, I'd certainly support Trump if he was the nominee and not running against RFK.

    That was hardly a widening of the war. The Viet Cong were being supplied through Cambodia. The intent was to cut off those supplies. And the war in Vietnam ended shortly after Nixon became president.

    We already had special forces in Laos and Cambodia and were flying covert combat missions into Laos and Cambodia. I looked at the "invasion" as more an acknowledgement of what were already doing rather than an invasion.

    Left from 2017 - 2023: Trump's Hitler!
    Left from 2023 - ?: DeSantis is worse than Trump!!!!!!

    Normal, reasonable people: Then what does that make DeSantis, if Trump's Hitler?

    Left: Super Hitler!

    I swear, these people need to learn more about history than World War II, and they don't even know that that well, since they keep referring to the "big lie," which was something that ****ing Hitler came up with to attack the Jews after World War I

    I mean, these people are ****ing poetic in their ignorance.

    No. But he has coalesced nations in support of Ukraine's self defense against the guy the Orange Menace refuses to identify as a war criminal. All without extorting Zelensky.

    I point out a fact and you feel the need to post this horse hockey? There's a word, well several actually, for such an action most of which would be deleted but I can at least use infantile.

    Well, to be fair, the corrupt Ukrainians have sent a lot of bribe money to the Biden family. In a war between two corrupt Oligarchies, both of which bribed the Bidens, it looks like Ukraine won the bidding war for the finest military in the world.

    But to put the topic you're derailing back on track, Desantis does have some valid concerns about Trump. For example, under Trump, we added $8T to the federal debt, and Trump foolishly turned the nation over to the evil dwarf, Dr. Fauci.

    And Trump seems to be “moving to the left” on a number of issues, he seems to be exhibiting some Stockholm Syndrome after being so soundly whipped by the Corrupt Deep State that rigged the 2020 election and installed Corrupt Bribed Joe Biden. I'm sure we'll learn more about all of this as the primary unfolds, but, as good as Trump was in his last term, he may not be the best choice for the upcoming term, and we need to put America First. We deserve the very best, which obviously isn't Corrupt Bribed Installed Joe and Kackles.

    Now Trump is in this seemingly bizarre bromance with Cuomo, even claiming that New York’s scandal-plagued ex-governor, Andrew Cuomo, handled COVID better than DeSantis, a charge that is “very bizarre.

    [​IMG]

    Now if Dems are smart enough to dump Rigged Bribed Installed Joe, and run RFK?

    He's on tape openly bragging about withholding United States aid money from Ukraine unless they fire a prosecutor who was looking into affairs with burisma

    This is how Ron DeSantis shuts down a foul-mouthed attack:

    'Yesterday in South Carolina, a woman began shouting at him as he delivered a stump speech. It didn’t go well for her. DeSantis was talking about the inappropriate material turning up in school classrooms and libraries. Young children are being exposed to sexual content at too early of an age. DeSantis talks about standing with parents and how it is the parents who are coming forward and reporting inappropriate material in order to get it out of schools. Progressives call it book bans when it is no such thing. The books aren’t banned, they are removed from the eyes of young children and only available to older students. What is acceptable for a high school student isn’t necessarily for an elementary school student.'

    '“There’s bad stuff that’s getting into the schools, there’s pornography that’s getting into the schools,” DeSantis said, before being interrupted. “So the parents have had to blow the whistle in Florida.”'

    '“You’re a f—- fascist,” a protestor is heard saying as the governor paused.'

    “Yeah. Well, thank you,” DeSantis replied. “Thank you.”

    “We’re not going to let you impose an agenda on our kids!” he said.

    '“We’re going to stand up for our kids. We’re gonna make sure to do it right. That’s what we’re gonna do,” he said to loud crowd cheers.'

    “Those people like that in Florida are the people we beat every single day on policy. We do not let ’em win. We win all these battles. We’re not letting them indoctrinate our kids – not on our watch.”

    This still amazes me, he publicly blocked funding because the prosecutor had not brought any charges in multiple corruption cases and somehow that gets twisted into he was attacking the prosecutor for pursuing Biden's son.
    You can take it or leave it the part that he didn't know about his son's activities but he very publicly stated he wanted investigations and they weren't happening. There's even a picture of him telling the story and a bunch of EU leaders laughing with him.
