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.

I wouldn't be surprised if DeSantis is actually afraid Tate could take his job
Well he is term limited as governor, Tate is perfectly aligned with republican values (raped countless women) and he's famous.
You might be on to something!
"a broken clock is right twice a day"
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.
That chainsaw reference put some undeletables images in my head...
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.

You sound like my mom talking about Qanon lol
Except this isn't so far fetched. Trump was friends with epstein what makes you think he doesn't want another place to rape women freely?
That's an odd way of spelling "little girls"
Holy Christ... If true, this would be so much darker and more evil than I ever expected from these people.
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.
What I'm hearing is the Dems are going to nominate him for their 2028 attempt.
He won't switch parties. They'll just pick him anyways.
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.

Trump will probably give them cabinets posts, they seem suitably qualified to join his inner circle.
Likely he will get some labor rights related stuff, then will help in gutting worker's protections in the name of "Hustle culture", after that he will take the blame for the fallout and land into some another position.

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

Weird, he’s their exact target market…???
I wouldve figured he'd be hiring him as his campaign manager.
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.
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 were convicted? Last I'd heard the trial was set for... March?
Well, guess I don't stay up to date with disgusting trash. I guess I'd assumed they'd already been through court since it was overseas.
They still haven't prosecuted Gaetz.

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 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
