There are threads in Politics and Elections but now that he’s declared, here’s his own pitfall. ---

I’m with you on this. But there’s one good thing: I already know I’m not voting for these morons, so I don’t need debates, town halls or commercials. I plan to watch a lot of online movies next year. ---

Like a sadistic high-school cheerleader. My bet is he’s the orange shit-stain’s VP pick. Just because he likes the shape of ronny’s round mouth. ---

I don’t know - he just said some bad things about The Orange One. He’s gonna have to eat a whole lot of shit before he has a chance at the VP slot. Maybe he can ask Lindsey Graham how it’s done. I look at this guy and think there’s no way someone that weird and off-putting could be elected, but man, the GOP has developed a high tolerance for that. ---

Very true, but the laws he proposes are a cross between 1936 Germany and Castro’s Cuba. He’s odd and easy to laugh at, but he’s a very dangerous clown. ---

> **[DeSantis Suffers Yet ANOTHER Technical Issue as Newsmax Feed Cuts Out](https://www.thedailybeast.com/desantis-suffers-yet-another-technical-glitch-as-newsmax-feed-cuts-out)** > > It’s becoming a frustrating trend for the 2024 presidential race’s newest entrant. "“What’s your response to the NAACP for our audience?” Bolling asked, just as that audience saw a frozen split-screen. “This is such a stunt. It’s a typical political farce,” DeSantis can still be heard saying, despite the frozen image. Shortly thereafter, the picture feed did resume, only to freeze again about 40 seconds later when DeSantis was talking about minorities in places that aren’t Florida." What else is a political farce is f&\*^ing with the parolee voting in FL, banning accurate historical studies (white butthurt), enabling you (DeSantis) to campaign for Prez and maintain Governorship, engineering a pissing contest with you state’s biggest attraction, other assorted voting machinations. ---

Campaign in poetry (inflation, opioid crisis, immigration, prescription drug prices, national security), govern in prose (drag queens, book bans, participation trophies, denying women bodily autonomy, tearing down the wall between Church and State, voter suppression/disenfranchisement). Yeah, Ron? I’ll pass. Thanks, though. ---
