Ron DeSantis is Incapable of Smiling Naturally

Newsflash: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is not a natural politician. He’s not a Bill Clinton who loves kissing babies, making small talk with voters, and delivering a stump speech. For a Clinton smiling at an audience comes as naturally as winking at a White House intern or patting the behind of a Hooters’ waitress.

President Joe Biden may not remember what day of the week it is, but it’s still second nature for him to smile at a campaign rally, shake hands with voters, hug babies and sniff the hair of any little girl with the misfortune of being in his vicinity.

DeSantis is totally lacking in the rudimentary skills of a politician, he’s awkward, slimy and just plain weird. He is incapable of smiling naturally. He’s mastered the skill of imitating a bobble head, but every attempt at flashing a smile is an epic failure.

During every debate nobody pays any attention to his answers or his interactions with his fellow candidates; viewers are obsessed with wondering if he will finally be able to smile successfully. Every awkward attempt to smile ends with a grimace that’s guaranteed to hurt him at the polls.

Tuesday night DeSantis saved his most horrifying attempt at a smile for an interview after the debate. His faux smile included a flash of a tongue.

For the love of God, enough already. No smile is better than a fake smile. No smile is better than a creepy smile that makes you look like a rattlesnake smiling.

The DeSantis Video Targeting LGBTQ Community is the Most Reprehensible Political Ad in Recent History

Politicians from mayors to senators to presidential candidates throughout our culturally, racially and sexually diverse country marked Pride Month by issuing proclamations in support of the LGBTQ community, participating in Pride parades or by making speeches.

TheDeSantis War Room Twitter account released a video marking the end of Pride Month Friday featuring footage of Trump at the 2016 Republican National Convention pledging to protect LGBTQ citizens in the wake of the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This blatantly homophobic video blasts Trump for his previous support of the LGBTQ community, the GOP frontrunner has got with the program and now he never fails to mock the transgender community at his MAGA rallies.

The video is so offensive that two of his rival Republican presidential candidates and the Log Cabin Republicans the nation’s largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives denounced it in no uncertain terms.

Is it any wonder that the largest LGBTQ rights organization in the U.S issued a travel advisory for Florida, warning that newly passed laws and policies pose risks to gay travelers?

As governor DeSantis has turned Florida into a racist and homophobic shithole. Don’t let DeSantis turn America into Florida: vote for the Democratic presidential candidate, even if it turns out to be the senile Biden!

Ron DeSantis is No Match for the Ruthless Donald Trump

Trump

“Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday knocked Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who suggested last week his state would not cooperate in any potential extradition of former President Trump over an indictment filed in Manhattan despite having not received such a request.“

The Hill

Just hours after a grand jury voted to indict Trump, a resident of Florida, the Florida governor Ron DeSantis declared he would not assist in any extradition request, even though Trump’s legal team had already said they planned to cooperate. Indeed, Trump’s lawyers negotiated a voluntary surrender with the prosecutor.

This was a golden opportunity for DeSantis to draw a distinction between himself and the lawless Trump by urging his constituents to respect the rule of law and let the indictment proceed without any interference from him.

Christie is spot-on, who the hell asked DeSantis for his opinion? The gratuitous remark by DeSantis was calculated to appease Trump’s MAGA base.

We don’t need another Republican presidential candidate who quivers in his boots at the prospect of drawing the ire of the vindictive and ruthless Trump.

We need a Republican presidential candidate like Christie (but not the hapless Christie) who isn’t afraid to rebuke Trump when he breaks the law.

DeSantis ain’t it. The feckless governor of Florida is just another Little Marco Rubio who will wither and die under the pervasive ridicule and criticism of Trump.

Evangelical ‘Prophet’ Has ‘Vision’ God Will Use Ron DeSantis in a Powerful Way as President

Ron DeSantis

“Christian evangelical prophet Charlie Shamp claims he received a vision predicting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be used by God in a powerful way for the 2024 presidential election, Rolling Stone reports.

As a recent guest on televangelist Jim Bakker’s show, Shamp asserted, ‘There’s something about Ron DeSantis that we need to begin to pray for. Because his ultimate future is to have a position in the United States as the president.’”

AlterNet

The evangelical world is a hellscape where self-proclaimed prophets can prophesy all sorts of nonsense in the name of God, and their vain imaginations will be accepted as Gospel by most of their evangelical brethren.

Charlie should change his name to Ezekiel or Jeremiah, just saying, because I would be agnostic about a prophecy uttered by a prophet with such a banal name.

Anyway, Charlie claims he received a vision predicting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be used by God in a powerful way for the 2004 presidential election.

We should keep in mind that this is the same religious charlatan who prophesied during Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign, that he would be elected to a second term.

“Shamp shared a ‘vision’ he’d received of two palm trees — one planted in California, the other in Florida. He’d asked, ‘Lord, who are these two palm trees?’ And God responded: ‘This palm tree from California is Ronald Reagan. This palm tree that is in Florida is Ron DeSantis.”

Rolling Stone

Only a ignorant as fuck evangelical would believe that the Almighty would take time out from managing the entropy of the universe to have a conversation with some prophet named Charlie.

Wake up idiots! Charlie doesn’t arrive at his prophecies by reading tea leaves or by speaking to God, more than likely he examined the logs in his toilet bowl and said to himself: Gee, that piece of crap looks like Reagan and that one looks like DeSantis, I think God is telling me that DeSantis will be an even greater president than Reagan.

Donald Trump Desperately Needs to Come Up with a Nickname for Ron DeSantis

Trump

Donald Trump is a master of branding his political opponents with demeaning nicknames. In the 2016 presidential primaries he decimated the field of over a dozen Republicans by christening them with nicknames that captured their biggest flaws: Lying Ted Cruz, Little Marco, Low-energy Jeb …

There is only one potential Republican challenger who makes Trump wet his diapers in fear, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Even though DeSantis hasn’t announced that he’s running, Trump is already trying out belittling monikers:

At a MAGA rally in November he debuted his first nickname for DeSantis, “Ron DeSanctimonius”,  but that landed with a thud. In February Trump called DeSantis a “RINO Globalist” during a rant on Truth Social, the word “globalist” which alludes to conspiracy theory about a cabal of elite Jewish individuals who secretly control the world, will resonate with his base, but I don’t that the clunky appellation will catch on.

According to the New York Times, Trump has recently been referring in private to DeSantis as “Meatball Ron.” That one also strikes me as a loser, that fails to capture the essence of DeSantis.

DeSantis is Trump’s strongest challenger, and without a denigrating sobriquet to hurl at the governor of Florida, the nicknamer-in-chief is ill-equipped to engage in battle with him.

Ron DeSantis Dooms His Presidential Aspirations by Donning Nancy Sinatra White Boots to a Flood Zone

DeSantis

A picture is worth a thousand words, and a photo op depicting a presidential candidate looking heroic or empathetic can sway votes and win elections.

But a photo op that makes a candidate look foolish or fey can doom a presidential campaign.

Just ask Michael Dukakis who in the 1988 presidential campaign, in an attempt to look credible as a commander-in-chief, rode in an M1 Abrams tank wearing a helmet. That photo of the diminutive (5’8”) candidate riding a tank wearing a helmet tanked his campaign.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis who has aspirations of running for president in 2024, and who coincidently is also 5’8”, wore white fishing boots to visit a flood zone, dooming any chances that he will ever be taken seriously as a presidential candidate.

It’s OK to wear white boots that look identical to Nancy Sinatra’s iconic white boots if you cosplaying the 60’s pop star, or if are making a coming out speech. But you don’t wear immaculate white boots to a flood zone, especially not after Labor Day, if you want to be taken seriously as a presidential contender.

If Trump Runs in 2024 a Blow-up Doll Would be a Perfect Running Mate, But He Will Probably Choose Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz or Tim Scott

Donald Trump, the twice-impeached, two-time loser in the presidential popular vote has been hinting that he’s going to run for president again in 2024.

Trump finds it impossible to ignore the spotlight, and what better way to become relevant again and make headlines than by running for president?

Barring an unforeseen illness, he will run again, the only question is: Who’s going to be his running mate?

I can tell you who it’s not going to be: Mike Pence. Trump has never forgiven Pence for refusing to overturn the election results during the counting of the Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021. Neither has his base who would rather hang him than endorse him as Trump’s running mate.

A blow-up doll would make the perfect vice president for Trump for the following reasons: It doesn’t have a backbone; it’s an ideal sex companion for when Melania has a headache, and she aways has a headache; and it’s impervious to his violent mood swings and childish behavior.

That would be a real fun ticket, but it’s not going to happen. So, who will it be:

South Carolina Senator Tim Scott can always be counted on to stand by his side with his Uncle Tom smile and subservient demeanor. He would always be at the ready to shine his shoes, change his diapers, and blow-dry his urine-colored hair.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz would be another excellent choice. Trump knows that he can make fun of his homely wife, accuse his father of dastardly deeds and impregnate his young daughter and retain his loyalty and devotion.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would be the dream ticket, he’s wildly popular with MAGA loyalists, but on the down side he has a smidgen of integrity and he isn’t as willing to debase himself as Scott or Cruz.

If Trump is willing to choose someone who won’t be a total pushover, he will make DeSantis his running mate.
