Ron DeSantis - The Pit Edition

“He has the personal appeal of a hamper full of sweaty jock straps.”

I’m sure some perv somewhere enjoys hampers of sweaty jockstraps. Nobody likes wet french fries.

But that is a colorful insult. Bravo for creativity! It also plays nicely against his Oh-so-Wholesome pretend persona.

Reminds me of this Pearls Before Swine strip last month.

You know you asked for this video from Porky’s with that comment (no nudity, but the audio may be NSFW).

“He has all the charisma of a wormy apple.”

“He has all the personal appeal of a severed limb.”

“He has all the charm of rotting roadkill.”

It’s a start.

“So when does he peel off the human skin and show his hyperalloy combat chassis? I mean it’s not a very convincing emulation of a human after all…”

The first thing I thought of was “I am the Clit Commander!”

You’re a mean one, DeSantis.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, DeSantis.
If it was a choice between the two of you, I’d take the…seasick crocodile…:musical_note::musical_note:

(Apologies to Dr. Seuss and the Grinch).

A big chunk of DeSantis’ allowance has been cut off.

Even billionaires get uneasy when their dough is wasted in an incompetent race to the bottom.

Love this part:

I can hear DeSantis now: "But I was targeting moderates! I had them right in my sights!!!

Ah, the English language, providing confusion and humor since the 11th century (or pick your own century, just like I did…)

Press on.

No need. :slight_smile: That was wonderful!

And is anyone at surprised by this tidbit?

DeSantis appointee to Disney board taught seminar using discredited research claiming White people were slaves in America

That’s the headline. Have fun reading the rest.

I have to ask. Does DeSantis own any clothing without his name on it? I’ve occasionally seen other presidential candidates wear stuff with logos, but it seems like that’s DeSantis in 99% of his photos.

Does he forget he’s running for office? Do the people he meets wonder who the hell he is? Does he forget his own name? Is he so cheap he thinks “hey, free clothes” ? I wonder if he wears them at home?

He was in the military. Nametags on uniforms are normal there. He may be emulating that look now as a way to burnish his veteran cred.

If you find any images where his name on his shirt is upside down, that’s a bad sign. That means it’s there so he can glance down at any time and be reminded what his name is. Sometimes senility strikes early. :grin:

I don’t know what look he was going for yesterday (today?), but he looked like an auto parts salesperson to me in his most recent getup.

Lagging in the polls, Meathead Ron decides to grow a pair and acknowledge that Trump lost in a fair election.

Heh heh, now the fun starts.

If you’re too wimpy to go big early, then go big late.

This oughta be much fun.

Could be his staff does it for him and he’s out of the loop. Now I’m going to be forced to look every time to check the orientation of his nametag. :wink:

That’s exactly what he looks like in an indoor setting with the blue dress shirt and the vest with his name on it.

What I don’t get about this guy, and others like Ted Cruz, who even their own staff admit are entirely unlikable people, is, how the hell did they ever get started in politics in the first place?

I mean, okay, once you’re the incumbent, it’s pretty easy to get re-elected. And I can understand voting for an incumbent because “He’s our guy”. But how did he get the nomination for his original office? Who looked at this guy the day he walked in the door, and decided this was the guy they’d support? Did he just run completely unopposed, or something? Why couldn’t they find someone who could at least fake being a likeable person?

Driven and hateful people often find wealthy benefactors wanting to bankroll a driven, hateful, and now wholly-owned person into power. For a beginning politician, overwhelming money is often the key.

When you’re running for Mayor of Springfield and incumbent Joe Doaks spends $5K of his money while you have the local Mr. Burns and his $500K of pocket money behind no-name you, well … real soon you’re the Mayor of Springfield. And suddenly you have your own compound Mr. Quimby.

The first office is the hardest. Once you know and can work the con, you fail upwards forever after. Until you come up against a Bigger Bosss.

Has Trump called him a RINO yet? He’s gonna.
