Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,” the Florida governor noted.
Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted and promised if he was elected, he would do a more reach-across-the-decorum, saying “I think that we want to be in a situation where you don’t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”
DeSantis pledging to return civility to the Dept of Justice comes on the same day the DOJ is about to deploy yet another indictment against the political opposition of the current administration. I’m not sure the civility DeSantis requires would be afforded by the institutions DeSantis supports. WATCH:
(New York Post – Rupert Murdoch) – […] DeSantis spoke hours after Trump disclosed, he is a target of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the events surrounding the ransacking of the Capitol.
Smith has been spearheading the DOJ’s two investigations involving Trump: one into the Capitol riot and the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election result, and the other into sensitive national security material kept at the former president’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
Thank you. I pray to God that my Gov isn’t friends with the Bushes, Romney’s et all, that my Gov is not owned by the Uni Party.
Could the moderators still have issues, but declined to ban a long time veteran member of this site? How would you know the moderators have no issues, unless they told you that?
OMG you are really reaching. Lol. You’re twisting yourself into knots with this logic that ultimately makes no sense. If you make an accusation against me, back it up with evidence. If you have none, STFU. I know you have none, because there is none. You’re out of your league here, old man.
Who are the people complaining about articles being posted here? It’s not Trump supporters. It’s you a few other DeSantis supporters. Just look at this thread. Taking this into consideration, I think it’s clear which group is more likely to be complaining to the moderators.
I have no issue with people posting five articles a day. It's not my website so I have no issue with it. The issue I DO have is when the poster states he will continue posting articles "whether (they are) true or not." Those are his words, not mine. You may love fake news (I do not), and I will continue to publicly call out the purveyors of truly fake news out on this forum. My comments will be public for all to see, not private to the mods. They do not need my input.
So what? Go cry to the moderator if ya don't like it.
Btw, there have been literally thousands of negative articles about Trump posted here over the past 7 years. Many are inaccurate BS. But never once did I complain to the moderators and never to my knowledge did Trump supporters demand they stop, like you and DeSantis supporters are doing right here.
What a bunch of cry babies.
Have the *thousands* of articles about Trump being posted here all true and accurate?
If anything is driving people away from here, it would be the partisan eGOP hacks. Including but not limited to TDS'rs, neocons, republican firsters, globalist, propagandist and certainly one that can't go unmentioned, the rats that post here disguised as republicans (read that as 'ultra conservatives', LOL) or in your case 'normal sensible conservatives'. Many of US have had our fill of it. In case you decide to get uppity remember that you won't win an election without US.
They’re once again running for the tall grass like they always do.
Great comments by the way. All of which hit the ten ring.
The truth is, primaries are ugly. Trump was not immediately accepted by Conservatives, for good reason. I'm sure there were plenty of articles making fun of the NYC billionaire who wanted to be President. And I'm sure we all had a good laugh.
Right. We’ve crossed the Rubicon. There’s no civility to be had with the Left. We have no shared values and no common goals.
Have the *thousands* of articles about Trump being posted here all true and accurate???
You're not seriously comparing patently false articles about DeSantis to articles about Trump in 2015, are you?
You evaded the question like you ALWAYS do.
But I'll answer yours. Hell yes I am comparing them, not to mention I am comparing them to thousands of negative articles about Trump from 2015 until right now today. The attacks on Trump started right out of the gate, from the day he came down the escalator. Have you been sleeping all this time?
Trump is the most politically attacked President in United States history and those attacks started the second he announced he was running. And you and a few others are crying about articles about DeSantos? Get real.

I am getting ever more closer to “Trump or bust” in this next election.
All the Republicans seem to suck except for Trump.
