DeSantis has really hurt himself politically all during his premature quest for the presidency. It’s a damn shame!

A year ago I was really excited about DeSantis. Now, he’s dead to me. He has no idea how much he has damaged his stock.

“Conservative Americans broke the law going into the building “

They w we USHERED in, and WAVED in, by Capitol Police and other PTB. And it IS “The People’s House”. You CAN just walk in. From the official website:

“No ticket is required to enter the Capitol Visitor Center or to enjoy its amenities.”

It appears I’m not the only one on this thread

I think the election was stolen thru mostly mail in malfeasance and other tactics

I support the protestors and find them patriots in general

The headline claims DeSantis digresses from that
So I posted “idiot” referring to Ron and his comments
What am I missing?

So let me get this straight. The protestors that dressed up like Indians were dumb enough to get lured into throwing tea into the harbor?

>>>I must admit it’s been a blast watching Meatball Rob destroy his career.

I think it is disappointing. I had hoped he would be a good Presidential candidate in 2028.

At least we have the silver lining of learning he is unqualified sooner than later.

And its likely the contenders to Trump are also all recipients of WEF globalist funds, just like the demoncrats in office

DeSantis is a fraud, or better said, he is your typical republican. He and his unfaithful supporters can all go sit&spin.

"Many felt that democracy our Constitutional Republic died with a crooked election"


Every time someone (from any party) calls our government (any type of) "Democracy", it's another point for all of them on the Left.
Have you ever noticed that the ones on the left refuse to call us a Republic, which we are?

“Did the Jan. 6 insurrectionists display patriotism, as some of them claim they did?”

First of all it’s worth pointing out that it was a loaded question. There were no insurrections at the capitol on Jan. 6th unless you want to count the undercover officers who instigated violence or the Congress critters who staged the whole event. That having been said, DeSantis mentioned none of this when he responded and apparently accepted the left-wing premise that J6 was an insurrection instigated by over zealous Trump supporters.

MAGA Ron is and always was an illusion.

Oh? So all those guys who keep getting jail sentences for attacking the cops are all FBI?

Well who are all those people who keep getting jail sentences (and are on camera) assaulting cops? Are you suggesting they are FBI and ANTIFA? If so... great!

No, it’s not really a damn shame. Do you think it would have been better if he had hidden his willingness to stab the MAGA movement in the back until he got elected president in 2028? He would have been the same disingenuous, bought and paid for Ron that he’s always been, but would be in a position to betray us. We should be grateful that he outed himself sooner rather than later.

Excellent point. It’s a shame all around for all the good he did during the Fauci Flu debacle.

So the Capitol Police “forced” them to riot. Just like someone forced the “peaceful” BLM protesters to riot?

What is this unbelievably powerful entity that can “force” otherwise peaceful people to riot?
