Meh.
I’m looking at the Safeway ad for tomorrow. $6.99/lb. for ribeye. Should I buy an 8 pounder and slice it up to freeze? A big ham will be a $1/lb.
What’s the black guy doing in the pic?
Although I love Trump and support him as President past, present, and future, I think the same could be said of certain pro-Trump Freepers (mostly female) here as well. Unable to put together a coherent argument and feel threatened when faced with one. Goofy.
Maybe showing my age but my English teacher taught it only “stupid people said “stupidest”.
It’s “most stupid”!
I’m from central FL, and DeSantis has been the best governor I have seen in the 45 years since I moved down here.
OTOH, as I have said before, DeSantis wanted to run for President in the worst possible way, and he has succeeded.
The one good news about this is that if his campaign goes 100% kerfluey in the next few weeks and he suspends, it shouldn’t hurt him too much going forward. Nixon stepped in it in ‘62 and still got elected six years later, ditto Grover Cleveland way back when. The longer he stays in the race, the worse his future will be, but I don’t think he’ll make it past NH, certainly past SC.
I’m 100% Trump, but this tucker guy is nauseating
Poor “little man” DeSantis proved his “little man”ness when he demonstrated just how unprincipled he and his administration would be, when he signaled that he is just fine with the political persecution of thousands of patriotic Americans and President Trump and his administration and associates by the UniParty and their corrupt state and federal government goons.
On Twitter/X, absolutely true.
Also delusional.
The person with the best ideas has no need to torpedo others.
Even Tucker can miss the mark
TRUMP INVESTED IN TUCKER’S NEW COMPANY...YOU DIDN’T THINK THIS WAS BASED ON HONOR, DO YOU?
Tucker’s description of DeSantis people is pure BS. However, it’s a perfect description of Team Trump.
Also, Tucker wrote a friend about Trump: “I hate him passionately.” He was looking forward to teh day when we’d no longer have to talk about Trump, and he said “There is no upside to Trump.”
Now, he’s kissing Trump’s a$$.
Nobody is paying Team DeSantis. Team Trump is overloaded with paid grifters like Loomer, Bruesewitz, etc.
DeSantis is a good man and a good governor, but that did not make him ready to run for president against Trump. As his team of lushly paid professional campaign consultants and operatives found DeSantis inadequate for his role, they began to flail away at the media and then at outsiders for not getting aboard. This almost certainly reflects the views of DeSantis and his over-involved spouse.
These are ordinary human failings and not to be assessed too much against DeSantis and his wife as people or against his campaign team. Yet, facing far worse circumstances and treatment, Trump and his circle have done much better. One sees Trump on the campaign trail showing not just strength and a strong sense of mission, but even enjoying himself.
This is an inadequately appreciated reason for Trump's appeal. His defects and mistakes do not negate his virtues and good record as President. In a tough spot due to the election stealing in 2020 and grossly unfair indictments and lawsuits against him, Trump is showing strength and courage in adversity by running for reelection. More than that, Trump is demonstrating a resilience of spirit that Americans traditionally called grit and saw as a dimension of character and a mark of true leadership.
Our greatest leaders and public figures showed grit and it inspired those around them and America as a whole. We know the slogans and incidents of history by heart.
With an Army defeated, cold, starving, nearly in rags, close to dissolving, and the Revolution itself near collapse, George Washington rallied his men for a night march from Valley Forge. They crossed the Delaware River in a snowstorm, then marched to Trenton and attacked and routed British and professional Hessian soldiers on Christmas Day.
With a US Navy crew shot to pieces and their vessel sinking, John Paul Jones rejected a British surrender request by saying: "I have not yet begun to fight!"
When the US Navy's attack on Mobile Bay during the Civil War hung in the balance, Admiral Farragut commanded: "Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead."
Against the Depression and a fear that America itself was failing, FDR offered: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
With our country in trouble, Trump seems poised to win in 2024 and may one day be seen by history as among the best. Against that, what can DeSantis offer? A good resume. That is not enough, and it galls DeSantis and his people as that sinks in.
