How about some actual video on this subject. I can’t imagine one of DeSantis’s kids doing this. Not that they would even know Mandarin. Go to ~1:30 for the best part.

Trump’s granddaughter singing in Mandarin to Xi

"You deflect since you know there is no there there. Put up or shut up."

You're the one questioning everything that is reported about DeSantis. Why would I have to provide you with proof. Get off your lazy ass and do your own research like anyone with half-a-brain would do, or are you afraid that you won't like what you find? Put up or shut-up yourself.

I’m not attacking Trump’s granddaughter, who looks about 8 years old there, and wouldn’t know any better. I’m pointing out Trump was using her as a pawn, to suck up to Xi.

I didn’t ask you for proof. I asked you what you were referring to.

You must be a mind reader. You should go on the road. You'd make a lot of money.

Can you imagine Biden trotting out his granddaughter to serenade Xi in Mandarin? I can’t, as I can’t imagine anyone else doing it, either.

That was your response when I told you that you could do your own research to find out what De Santis's Congressional Record was. How that is deflecting is beyond me. You told me to put up or shut up. Put up what? Proof of his Congressional record? That's what I got out of it, and I'm sure that's what other would as well. Hence my response.

I can imagine Biden having his granddaughter go down on XI, or at least making her take showers with him.

You have a dirty mind, and potty mouth, which you’re obviously proud of. Got a video, like I just showed? Of course not.

Nick, we’ve been through this before - 8 years ago to be exact. We had this same discussion, in which you tried to equate Obama’s economic policies with Trump’s and in which I had to educate you as to why you were wrong.

Focusing on the fact that Obama, on occasion, supported tariffs, you missed the fundamental difference between Trump’s economic policy and Obama’s. Obama used tariffs on occasion to give temporary relief to certain industries. These tariffs usually had a political motive, were temporary and did nothing to address the uncompetitiveness of domestic manufacturing, in general. The end result was that these companies would raise their prices to match the tariffed products. While these tariffs offered companies a short term respite, they did nothing to address the structural problems that has made American manufacturing uncompetitive - namely over regulation, high taxes and expensive energy. Under those conditions it made no sense for these industies to substantially expand their domestic production.

Trump’s approach is a comprehensive pro-business approach of which tariffs are only one component. Without the rest of Trumponomics the tariffs would simply cause consumer a rise in consumer prices, as they did under Obama.

Aww...isn't that too bad. You don't like my allusions to Biden's perverted character. Can't have it all can we? And what video am I supposed to be producing for you? And why would I present one anyway? I simply told you, you could do your own research to find out about Ronnie's Congressional Record, but you keep side-stepping the issue, tap-dancing around it, while bringing up unrelated things like a video of Trump's granddaughter singing to President XI, and not actually responding to my original comment. You're focusing everywhere else, but won't focus on what's right in front of you. It's obvious by your circumventing the issue, that you don't want to find out what his Congressional Record is all about. It could prove your case that he's done the right thing all along as you claim, but for some reason you don't really want to know.

You still have nothing proving your case in this thread other than the maniacal rantings of Laura Looney. Typical.

And DeSantis record as Congressman is very strong, although it doesn’t match his record as Governor, which is off the charts. DeSantis is gaining strength, and proving his commitment to conservatism, while Trump is having to resort to claiming he will finally do everything in his second term, that he promised in his first. Except lock her up, make Mexico pay for the wall, etc, since he doesn’t even mention those anymore. More likely are more “vaccines” and a majority gay cabinet.

Yes.

He would have been picked by Trump for sure, and a cinch for 2028.

We dodged Bush 3.0.

* * *

No, I cannot, only because Bidung doesn't know what day it is.  But I'd be mighty proud of my granddaughter if she could sing a Chinese song and make people realize that trade negotiations are business, but we still respect the culture and people of China.  This was first class DIPLOMACY.  So was hosting Xi at Mar a Lago.

By the way, I just found an article from Guardian with a terrific headline for your guy:

Now that story was 6 months ago before Ron even announced, so with a lead like that I'm sure he's really on a Chinese egg roll today...

BobL's comment: “Yep, everything I heard about his record in Congress points to another Bush Sr.”

You wrote back to him: "What lies did you hear?"

I commented to you, that you could check out DeSantis's Congressional Record to refute BobL's comments.

Then you claimed I was deflecting, and you've gone over a cliff since then. You either have a comprehension problem or deliberately choose to change the subject with something totally unrelated to my comment you are responding to. You're not drunk are you? I never attempted to "make a case" for anything. Where you got that from is anyone's guess.

You've gone off on some obstacle course, and the only thing you came up with is: "And DeSantis record as Congressman is very strong, although it doesn’t match his record as Governor, which is off the charts."

If you had to write a position paper about RDS's Congressional Record, that bland statement wouldn't cut it. You'd have to provide examples to back up your statement, the same thing you are demanding of others. All you've offered is a simple statement with no examples to back it up. A trained monkey could do that.

And I don't know why you're focusing only on Laura Loomer. She didn't write the article that you've got your panties in a wad over. The author Charles R. Down featured his own tweet, Loomer's and one from David Giglio, who according to his profile is a Congressional candidate in California. Down may have used her as a source, but he used himself and Giglio as well, so why aren't you attacking them too? You really make no sense.
