What the hell is this https://www.politico.com/news/2023/07/14/vivek-ramaswamy-january-6-riot-00106466

 

 

Logic is not something these Republiturds seem to acknowledge:

 

"In conversation with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson at the Family Leadership Summit on Friday afternoon, Ramaswamy reasoned that big tech platforms’ moderation of news about Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020 and perceived government overreach around vaccines and stay-at-home mandates during the pandemic prevented people from accessing truth."

 

Trump was president during that time. Surely he could have done something about the "vaccines and stay-at-home mandates" - after all, isn't Trump the saviour?

Oh, the eternal optimism of finally reading a message in this thread saying...

 

"The Orange Jumpsuit has finally been fitted."

 

"The Orange Buffoon is FINALLY behind bars for a V E R Y long time."

 

Sigh......

It'll happen - there's no way he can avoid losing most, if not all, of the suits. Except the orange one, of course.





Trump crowned? No faux King way!

Some of the comments on that thread are hilarious - Harold De Palma is an absolute crackup. It's almost like he makes the Trump Kool-Aid himself as well as drinking it non-stop.

The NY Times - DeSantis Burns Cash, and Pence Struggles: Takeaways From 2024 Filings

 

15 July 2023

 


As a fuller financial picture of the 2024 presidential race emerged with Saturday’s campaign filing deadline, trouble appeared to lurk below the surface for Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.

 

Despite a strong overall fund-raising total of $20 million, Mr. DeSantis is spending hand over fist, and his dependence on large donors suggests a lack of grass-roots support. 

 

Trump’s campaign recorded $17.7 million in fund-raising, nearly all of which was transferred from another committee that will not report its donors until later this month. ...

 

Former Vice President Mike Pence brought in a paltry $1.2 million in contributions, raising questions about whether he can draw meaningful backing among Republicans. ...

 

In the meantime, President Biden and the Democratic National Committee raised almost as much money as all of the Republican candidates for president combined. ...

Maybe De Santis can use his state-funded private milita to accomplish what Trump's mob couldn't:

 

 

Promoted by DeSantis as an “emergency focused, civilian defense force” when it was established in June 2022, the state guard has quickly morphed into something quite different, the report found.

 

 

Volunteers have been trained for military combat, including the use of weapons; khaki polo shirts and pants were replaced by camouflage uniforms; and recruits were “barked at” by boot camp instructors at the joint training base who woke them before dawn and imposed lights-out by 10pm.

 

 

Additionally, DeSantis’s compliant, Republican-led state legislature has contributed to the change of direction, this year approving a massive expansion in the force’s funding, size and equipment. Its budget increased from $10m to $107.5m, and its maximum size more than tripled from 400 recruits to 1,500.

Khaki color is a shade of brown that has yellow (color of cowardice) and white undertones (color of most GOP).

Isn't the use of brownshirts, Braunhemden, a bit on the nose, a bit on the mark.

"braune Scheisse", brown s**t, was a term applied to nazis, both the original lot and the current ones.

More than 7 reasons not to live in Florida. Plus one: climate change and the average elevation in southern Florida is 1.8 meters.

I lived there, and the people shown here are not unusual
