Good for DeSantis!

I loved the not so subtle swipe at the Orange man vs Porn Star comment.  It got good laughs from the crowd.

Can't wait for Trumpy to yap back like a little dog.

DeSantis on Looming Trump Indictment: ‘We’re Not Going to Be Involved’ with a ‘Manufactured Circus by Some Soros DA’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday weighed in on the looming indictment of former President Donald Trump at the hands of leftist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, explaining that his administration is “not going to be involved” with a “manufactured circus by some Soros [backed] DA.”

Trump lives rent-free inside your head,doesn't he? I'm guessing you even dream about him.

[roamer_1]

Just wait and see.  In short order you will find that "DeSantis" is just a shiny object for the PtB to disrupt the GOP 2024 primary and beyond.  Mark this post.  If you won't acknowledge @Right_in_Virginia warning you, remember that I did.

 

I vote record. Not rumor, @art.prout ... You should know that about me by now.
His record predicts his actions.

 Barricades unloaded near Manhattan criminal court ahead of possible Trump indictment
by Julia Mueller - 03/20/23 11:24 AM ET



Barricades arrived outside the Manhattan Criminal Court Monday morning as the city braces for potential charges against former President Trump, who warned over the weekend that he could be arrested as soon as Tuesday in relation to a hush-money probe.

Workers were seen unloading steel barricades from a New York Police Department truck, stacking them outside the courthouse and the Manhattan District Attorney’s offices in lower Manhattan.

NBC New York reported over the weekend that local, state and federal law enforcement were readying for a possible indictment for the former president, considering security around the Manhattan Criminal Court in the event that Trump is charged.

Mr. Kassam should realize that what's going on is a matter - at this point - of purely NY internal law.  Why is everyone demanding that the governor of Florida intervene in a matter that involves NY internal law?

DeSantis put out a strong speech supporting Donald Trump, attacking the globalists, and their Soros-backed corrupt prosecutors. This should bring unity to the right. So what do the instigators do? They try to turn this into a DeSantis vs Trump thing.

 :yowsa:DeSantis has played it perfectly. For him it's not a real issue because it's outside his jurisdiction, and he is only the Governor of Florida. The House GOP is gonna investigate, and Trump has plenty of money to fight the flimsy charges.

Not his fight.

And that’s how it should be. Not lofty promises nor rumors. Because  the record is the only concrete thing that you can come to a conclusion on when it comes to any candidate.

Speaking of which, of all people who should know the folly of putting unsubstantiated rumors out about a particular candidate should be Trump supporters themselves. We witnessed the rumors of Russian prostitute peeing on him, colluding with Vladimir Putin  to win the election over Hillary Clinton, “very fine people” hoax…

That's dang well right - Though I have found that many people find truth to  be subjective, and are willing to leverage waggin tongues provided it is in their favor.

Which is why the substantiated record becomes all the more important.
It's really all I'll listen to. Especially in the silly season... which has become more than a season these days. All sorts of time to dream up bullcrap and throw it at the wall to see what sticks...

Seen it done to Cruz already. SOSDD.

Standing squarely and firmly for the rule of law and against a political prosecution --- of both a former president and current candidate AND a citizen of the "free state" of Florida is not his fight??????    Then who needs this clown?

Lol….typical

A poster asks a legitimate question and instead of answering, you do what you do best and cast doubt on the integrity and intelligence of the poster

But to answer that posters question…no. We can speculate as to why and why DeSantis is being singled out for not responding in the proper Trumpian manner. But the answer is still…no

Hey you!  Top row, third from the left... I demand a statement!

[Free Vulcan]

@Right_in_Virginia

Not his circus, not his monkeys. DeSantis has more important things to do right now than trying to rescue Trump from another of his foibles.

I'll refresh you on what he said in case you forgot. He addressed it exactly as it should have been by practicing Federalism and staying in his lane, and ultimately true leadership.

...“I’ve seen rumors swirl. I have not seen any facts yet and so I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I do know this: The Manhattan district attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor,” DeSantis said when asked about the looming indictment after a weekend of silence on the matter.

DeSantis continued to bash the Soros-funded prosecutors, explaining they routinely “weaponize their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety.”

“He has downgraded over 50 percent of the felonies to misdemeanors,” the governor said of Bragg.

“He says he doesn’t want to even have jail time for the vast, vast majority of crimes,” DeSantis continued, explaining that the crime rate has risen in Manhattan, putting the safety of citizens in jeopardy...

...“We are not involved in this [and] won’t be involved in this. I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus by some Soros DA, ok?” DeSantis said, accusing Bragg of creating a “political spectacle” and virtue-signaling to his leftist base.

DeSantis added he has “real issues” to deal with in the Sunshine State.

“I’ve got so many things pending in front of the legislature. I’ve got to spend my time on issues that actually matter to people. I can’t spend my time worrying about things or things of that nature, so we’re not going to be involved in it in any way,” he added.

[LMAO]

Hey you!  Top row, third from the left... I demand a statement!

It’s tragic and funny how the existence of Ron DeSantis has totally collapsed the psyche of Trump supporters and Trump himself. And that’s BEFORE he announces, if at all.

They’ll need padded rooms and straight jackets if he were to announce. Which is a head scratcher because we’ve had many primaries before were the parties have debated a field of candidates until one emerges from both parties to make their case before the American people

I’ve never seen such irrationality of the prospect of another candidate giving it a go, ever

[Right_in_Virginia]

@Right_in_Virginia

Not his circus, not his monkeys. DeSantis has more important things to do right now than trying to rescue Trump from another of his foibles.

Nope.  The defeat of Ron DeSanctus will be epic.  His national career will be over.

Instead of waiting for his statehouse to protect his job while he flames out in the primary, DeSanctus would be smarter to have them remove current obstacles to his being Florida's governor for life.

‘Utter and Complete Crap’: Ted Cruz Slams Manhattan DA’s ‘Political Persecution’ of Donald Trump
Breitbart, Mar 20, 2023

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s “political persecution” of former President Donald Trump as “utter and complete crap.”

“The case from the Manhattan District Attorney, if they bring an indictment and charge him, is utter and complete crap…It is flimsy. It is weak,” Cruz said on his latest Verdict podcast episode. “It has been rejected by prosecutor after prosecutor after prosecutor. And it is obviously political retribution and a political persecution.

“[Bragg] hates Donald Trump. Now he has a right to hate Donald Trump. But he doesn’t have a right to abuse and corrupt the justice system to persecute his political opponents. And that, sadly, is exactly what he’s doing here,” the Texas senator continued.
