True, but when considering only Trump supporters, that’s dumbfuckery of a common variety. ---

> [@iamatractorboy](#): > > Trumpitis? Close, but at least Donald had “Christians” laying hands on him and telling him he was the Chosen One. So far as I know there haven’t been similar scenes of “Christians” pumping up ol’ Ron. And DeSantis has upped the standard by actually _re-writing the Bible_. An 8th day of Creation, with Himself being the sole focus of the Deity: that is a brand new level of megalomania. More DeSantis, er, qualities, made the news today: the _New York Times_ broke a story about Ron supposedly inviting himself to parties of teenagers when he was teaching at a private school in Georgia. (I’ll link to The Insider’s version as it’s not paywalled: ) > [@](#): > > … Multiple students told the Times that DeSantis frequented parties with Darlington high school seniors and attended some events with graduates where alcohol was served. > > **“As an 18-year-old, I remember thinking, ‘What are you doing here, dude?’” one former student** said, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, the Times reported. … The photos accompanying this news in some places are smiling group shots of DeSantis, Matt Gaetz, and Gaetz’ infamous “wingman” Joel Greenberg. Apparently there are many such shots to choose from. > **[Former students of Ron DeSantis said he was a 'total jock' who partied with...](https://www.businessinsider.com/former-students-ron-desantis-total-jock-partied-with-students-2022-11)** > > "He was definitely proud that he graduated Ivy and thought he was very special," Gates Minis, a 2003 Yale graduate, told the Times.

I, for one, am shocked and horrified by the implication that Loser Donald actually knows what “sanctimonius” means, and that he managed to pronounce it correctly instead of mumbling out “Ron Desantaclaus” or “Ron DeSacramento” or “Ron Florida”. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > > [@Sherrerd](#): > > > > Ron supposedly inviting himself to parties of teenagers > > Remember, for Republicans, every accusation is a confession. - Indeed. But it’s certainly interesting to watch this new campaign against DeSantis, with the _New York Times_ pitching in in its frequent role as Supporter Of Whatever The One-Percent Wants (At the Moment). We’ll see how the Murdochs parse this. Will they participate in the uncrowning of partially-coronated Ron? Or will they throw in with him and pretend that’s not going to infuriate Donald? ---

Fox News (and the moneymen behind it) don’t want to see Cheato and DeSantorum tear each other apart – they need the latter as Plan B if the former flames out or succumbs to one too many fatty hamberders. ---

I’ve been hearing a campaign ad for a Trumplican candidate – as in “liberals are destroying the country”\* – depicting said candidate as an “honest conservative”.\*\* \*Paraphrased from his own ad. \*\*Direct quote from an ad by a self-proclaimed “non-partisan” interest group on behalf of the candidate. ---
