I’m a Florida resident. Ron DeSantis sucks. Let me preface it. However, about 1-2x a year he does something that actually doesn’t suck.

Florida just got rid of one pedo/rapist. He doesn't want a replacement.
...Trump-hating [Ron DeSantis] has disgraced himself by stating that [Andrew Tate] and [Tristan Tate] are not welcome in Florida!"
Did I miss something? Since when do DeSantis and Trump not align on their shit values?
But also, I mean, it doesn't have to be said, but fuck all of them with a chainsaw.
Well, their recruitment along with the Silk Road guy is all part of Trump's plans to start massive human trafficking and drug trafficking organizations. He needs their expertise in human trafficking so he forced Romania to let them come here.
The current node for human trafficking, to help cover where people are being sent, is Guantanamo (and Panama). That's Ron's old stomping grounds. And while I think he's cool with torture of "terrorists," he's not so into mass rape of women, egg farming, genocide to grave rob America. I think he also got freaked out by the Les Miserable song at the Governor's Ball (he cowered) and all the loud loud pushback he's experiencing from people calling in constantly to complain and also the protests.
Or maybe he's just mad they took the spot he wanted.

They align on their values but DeSantis considers himself Trump's rival for the presidency.
That's what makes his anti-Tate stance exceedingly cute, on so many levels. Not only does he lack the power or will or conviction of his words, but no-one one either side gives two shits what DeSantis has to say on this topic, or any other.
Well, the hilarious thing is, that DeSantis can side with the state's rights crew of NY, Maine, Washington, California so far, and he could also have his attorney generals or other people mess with Trump legally for taxes or other issues, eg Mar A Lago. He actually very much could be a headache for Trump just like he was for Disney.
The difference is that little Rhonda thinks he’s doing good. Trump is malicious.
And Trump always underestimates people like Pence and DeSantis for being "stiff"
Anyone else think it's kinda funny Ted Cruz is so unlikable he's been shut out of all their stuff?
Trump will probably give them cabinets posts, they seem suitably qualified to join his inner circle.

Is Florida finally at maximum capacity for rapists and weirdos?
The bar was raised while Tate was in Romania. He’s gonna have to step it up to fit in now. A couple of swastika neck tattoos ought to do it.
You may be on to something. maybe there's a branigan's law about rapists and pedophiles in Florida. Once you hit a certain limit the state just stops accepting new ones.
Trump must be back at Mar-A-Lago rn
Trump's quotes are indistinguishable from Brannigan's. There's even gameified versions of this online
I hear Washington DC is taking applications
Do I hear Secretary of Women's Health?

Nice to know that piece of shit has a line in the sand somewhere. 'convicted rapists and human traffickers' is a horrible line to have to get to but at least it's there? Still though, fuck DeSantis.
They still haven't prosecuted Gaetz.
Desantis is amazing. He knows how to lower the bar even as he is endorsing the most easy to realize right thing
man when you're too terrible for Florida conservatives to want you there, you know you're a terrible person
I mean... He seems exactly like the kind of person they would want to associate with. He must have spilled a lot of beans while in, or to get out of prison.
Sounds like cabinet material.
Weird, he’s their exact target market…???
I wouldve figured he'd be hiring him as his campaign manager.
What a weird conflict. I don't know who I want to win. Is it possible for them both to lose somehow? Like some kind of -1 sum game?
Send tate to florida. Then get out a saw, and cut Florida away and into the Ocean. Then use ropes to connect Hawaii and Alaska to the mainland.
Now you can claim that only connected states can be states. Also, international no fly, no sail zone 300 miles around florida at any time. No one leaves.
Bugs had the right idea in 1949.

I have no idea who Andrew Tate is. So I looked him up on Wikipedia, and he seems like the kind of awful person who would be a darling of the MAGAsphere.
Could someone explain to me why DeSantis doesn't want him then?
Desantis has make a huge show of “stopping human traffickers” and there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy. He can pass this off as a “White House thing” and try to keep his position.
Being called out on hypocrisy has never stopped a conservative before. Hell, it’s practically required.
This is the most confusing part of the situation.
DeSatan is no voice of reason, so it's a play for personal protection or gain... somehow. What do they know about Tate that's so much worse than the average MAGA?

Desantis is clearly worried that Andrew Tate will push him out of the running for "biggest piece of shit in the United States"... These guys take that award very seriously
Good to see Romania is deporting criminal immigrants
If I had to pick a state to send this asshole to...
Plasma would be my recommendation.
