Whomp whomp, now time for his little ass to run back home to Florida to continue to make our state worse, fuck DeSantis.

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 57 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

He's term limited, so not for much longer

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

I've been voting against the right for 20+ years in this state, they'll just vote for whichever (R) is up next, Nicki Fried might have a shot but I'm not counting on it, either way she's got my vote, or whomever is going against the (R).

Already rumors his wife is going to run for Governor in 2026.

[-] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

Ah yes the bright one that called on women from other states to rush to Iowa to vote for her husband.

[-] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 36 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Probably pretty hard to run in those lifts, he'll likely have to mechanically stagger back home awkwardly.

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 9 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of the Psychlos from Battlefield Earth. Awkwardly walking slowly through every scene they are in because of the boots/stilts that were part of the costume.

Sorry, bad for Florida, but still better than him in the White House.

Bye loser.
Nikki isn't going to win either. I like that she is hitting Trump on his mental state and other problems, but she'll never win the primary over Trump. It's a cult.

[-] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 84 points 9 months ago

Half of her supporters said in one poll that they'd vote for Biden instead of Trump if she doesn't win, I want her to hang in as long as she can!

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 41 points 9 months ago

I can only assume her play is in hope that Trump’s criminal and civil cases catch up and make her the back up choice.

DeSantis voters are probably mostly going to Trump.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 67 points 9 months ago

The truth is he still thinks he can win, but his feet hurt so much from walking in heels all day, and he hasn't felt the sweet sweet flavor of pudding on his fingers in what seems like forever.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 59 points 9 months ago
[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 37 points 9 months ago

He should have to suck Trumps testicles publicly like Christy had to

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago

Don't forget that weasely video of Cruz stumping for trump on the phones in 2016 looking like he was dying.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 15 points 9 months ago

"Meatball sub"

What a fucking bitch LMAO

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago

They should make him carry it for the full term, hemorrhaging all the way until it eventually kills the entire campaign due to wholly preventable options, which he prevented.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 48 points 9 months ago

We don't have a clear path to victory

That this can possibly be true after coming second in the first and only contest goes to show how much of a farce the whole thing was from the start.

[-] negativenull@lemm.ee 37 points 9 months ago
[-] mexicanmamba@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Lmao I call Mickey Mouse “The Mouse” too.

Part of me wants to go back and check on r/conservative and see if they’re ok.

[-] Riccosuave@lemmy.world 69 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Good plan. I'm gonna go lurk for 5 minutes, and see how they're holding up. Will report back momentarily.

Edit: Okay, maybe 5 minutes was too long.

  • They are still caught somewhere in between glazing up DeSantis for his 2028 bid, and arguing over whether that makes sense because Trump will be running for the fourth time. You have to appreciate the irony of that subtle admission that he will either be ignoring term limits if he does win, or that he is going to lose but they still won't be able to get rid of him.

  • Still coping with the fact that Nikki Haley has the audacity to run against Trump given that she is a deep state operative and also a woman.

  • Screaming that the sky is falling like chicken little in the middle of a meteor bombardment because the "radical left" is trying to hold Trump accountable for the crimes he committed even though most of them apparently don't even like him anymore, and are tired of his temper tantrums.

Thank you for your service.

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 9 months ago

Shit they've been gone too long. They're probably a MAGA nutjob now.

[-] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

It's not contagious like a disease. It's more like a sticky, oily slime you can just wipe off later. It's unpleasant but reality will be there to clean you off.

That's the thing though. The human garbage that wallows in it daily actually likes the slime. They bathe in it and smell like it, but they can stop whenever they want and come back to the real world.

They choose not to.

If only Desantis had added a few more inches to his lifts.

[-] Rapidcreek@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Are you ready, boots? Start walkin'

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

Bye bitch! Now go crawl back into Trumps ass

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Wait, I thought he got his “ticket punched.”

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 9 months ago
