Trump Judge Spanks Ron DeSantis for Retaliating Against a Democratic Rival (slate.com)

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis faced a sharp, surprising rebuke from a conservative appeals court on Wednesday, which dealt him a major setback in his quest to banish state prosecutor Andrew Warren from office. In fact, “setback” may be too mild a term: DeSantis got smoked at the court, which effectively accused him of abusing his office to punish Warren on the basis of protected speech. Most surprisingly, the governor’s harshest critic was Judge Kevin Newsom, a staunchly conservative Donald Trump appointee who went out of his way to charge DeSantis with an unconstitutional assault on “representative democracy.”

If we could start framing all politicians as chided babies, that'd be nice

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Yeah, spanks means you get unlimited number of times violating the constitution and the federal/state government has to keep cleaning up your mess using our tax dollars.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 38 points 9 months ago

Great. Now charge DeSantis with violating Warren's constitutional rights.

Impeach! Impeach!

She should spank him so many times. Spank him so hard that Seminole natives are birthed through his big nipple holes.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

I've just got to say, coming to this comment after having a bunch of genocide apologists piling on me was exactly what I needed. So thank you

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

It shouldn't be surprising that a Trump appointee is doing things to hurt an opponent of Trump

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

DeSantis is no longer an opponent of Trump, they both support one another now.

[-] orclev@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

Well, I suppose with his head that far up Trumps backside he would offer some amount of support, but Trump isn't supporting shit. Well, maybe the spray tan and girdle industry.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 9 points 9 months ago

Anyone who truly believes that Trump will support them is an idiot. Trump cares only for himself.

[-] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

SPANKS!

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Disney will just use this to point at a "pattern of behavior"
