“I believe we are headed toward a bloody civil war.”

Resistance must be peaceful & economic:
1. don’t buy new houses which are mainly built by invaders
2. don’t buy multinational stocks or mutual funds that do
3. avoid leftist companies insomuch as practical
4. learn to be more self-reliant
5. avoid eating meals out
6. think of yourself as a Jew in 1933 Germany because leftists might treat you similarly

Gaetz showed himself to be a strong leader. They went home and heard the anger at the gop.. One man answered. Where are the rest of congress.

A+ for Gaetz. He's the next generation MAGA the uniparty will have to deal with.

It’s close to zero, but not zero. Too many variables yet unknown.

"problem with DeSantis and others They assumed Trump would be gone before election in full swing. Trump gone meant we lose our country.. They were in a self first mode. I was done with Desantis."

DeSwamptis and the rest of the field should have dropped out and endorsed Trump. 2020 was a coup. None of them will acknowledge it. Instead they give aid and comfort to the deep state, by playing along like everything is fine, and hoping to get something for themselves, from the death of our country.

NONE OF THEM should be Trump's VP.

They have shown their true colors.

This is not 1776 folks.

A rocket-propelled grenade can easily kill a rifleman shooting from behind a tree.

The US military has first class body armor, you probably don’t.

Don’t give the government any excuses to try to confiscate your essential defensive arms.

Use your purses, wallet and checkbooks carefully.

Property tax caps are badly needed. Make them a political priority. Any one state can help induce other states to protect real property ownership.

We are in unchartered territory.

Our government has become the decider on who can and who can’t.. They want absolute control.. What they are after, they cannot have in a free country.

The old guard are saying.. *no. If you are a conservative. The answer is no*

Trump is more electable, if possible, if he were to be convicted. And I will never vote republican again. I hold the republican party responsible for Trumps problems in court. They could not do this if the party backed the voters or Trump.

**She also asked DeSantis if he believes voters will elect someone who is facing 91 criminal counts, as Trump is.**

The words!! This is why I hear the crap that angers.

The charges are brought by those who are guilty! Trump didn’t do this.. THEY are the ones!!

DeSoros now openly rooting for a Trump conviction.

A couple of notes:

*Minion either will run indie to try to hurt President Trump (won’t work: NONE of his moronic followers would have voted for Trump anyway-—but some may have voted for Rutabaga.
*DeSoros now trails Trump by 50 in some polls. His chances of winning the nomination, as I predicted in March, were THEN “next to zero.” Now, his chance of ever holding another elective office is “close to zero.”
*The action of the Superior Court judge in splitting the trials of Powell & others means that soon all 19 trials will be separate. They’ll wrap up sometime around 2027.

Renoxxxxx and I have a bet on who will not be nominee in 2024. He is betting on DeSantis.

My introduction to Ron DeSantis was reading about things he did I agreed with.
I liked the guy, what little Ihad seen.

I saw short video clips of him, and I saw no problems.

During this campaign season I have seen more video clips of him in which I
was surprised by how awkward he appeared at times.

I had thought he would stay out of this election cycle. I was wrong.

I have not been impressed by his campaign, and it has forced me to choose
sides, Trump has had my trust. Ron, by trying to get me and others to select
him over Trump, has lost mine.

Something like 60% of the nation thinks Trump has been treated unfairly. Many
of them have rallied to Trump’s defense.

Now when Ron tosses out reasons why he and not Trump should be the
nominee, it just seems like more attack, even with reasoning that sounds as
if it was a Democrat that had said it.

Last week it came to the point that I thought Ron had done everything he could do to gain support, but it just wasn’t happening.

Any attempt by him further was going to cost him, rather than help him.

His chance at the ring it’s gone.

Ron DeSantis has shot his short term game plan. Hus chance is gone.

Now he’s damaging his long term chance.

He doesn’t understand that, so he doesn’t see that dynamic.

He’s not going to stop until he’s so offended folks, they are never going to want him.

He’s now Gon DeSantis. It’s a shame really. He could have had my full support,
but now I’m no longer interested.

My home insurance, auto insurance, electricity bill are all up 40% or more since DeSantis became governor. And Florida government has grown. He is not a fiscal conservative.

I will vote for Trump, regardless of the outcome of these leftist kangaroo court decisions.

“I will not support a GOPe candidate”

Dear Republican Representative:

I am very keen to vote for Donald Trump for President come 2024. Congress should not stand by while DoJ funding is being so badly abused by people like Merrick Garland and Jack Smith.

DeSantis lost mine for the same reason, but it was right out of the gate. When he entered the race, he was saying Trump out and DeSantis in, because DeSantis is more capable.. Otherwise, he would have endorsed Trump.
It changed my mind on who DeSantis is.

Desantis is no longer an option even if Deep State assassinates Trump.

I’ll abstain from voting rather than vote for him.

Ron is either Deep State uniparty or he’s a meathead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, he is both. The fact that he isn’t SCREAMING about the bogus Trump charges tells everyone exactly what they need to know about Desantis....EVERYTHING.....

The Desantis bots know it too, make no mistake.
