We are here because we discuss uncomfortable truths. We accept things as they are, and not as we would wish them to be.
Since the original innocuous tweet 48 hours ago, from a private account, which did not even use the name “Trump,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been absolutely silent about the illicit FBI raid on the home of Florida citizen and former President Donald J Trump. DeSantis is showing us all who he really is; but are you willing to accept it?
The raid on President Trump’s home is a moment for all to stand and take a position. On the day after the raid, much like the entire DC Decepticon establishment, Ron DeSantis hid in the bunker and kept quiet. No tweets. No appearances. Nothing that would create a situation where he would have to enter this ‘time of choosing.’ This is what politicians do. This is what Nikki Haley does. Avoiding controversy is not what war time leaders do.
On the second day after the raid, again with the politics of the issue as the dominating consideration, DeSantis releases a recording of a statement as Florida schools begin to open for the fall semester. Again, avoiding any situation where he would be asked to take a position on the raid. Please take note and pay attention. These are the moments that matter, the examples that show the true intents and motives of political leaders.
DeSantis is doing what he has been advised to do.
The silence of DeSantis is deafening.
DeSantis’ supporters, cheerleaders, GOPe promoters and sycophants will ignore it, but deep in their psyche they know what I am saying is true.
Ron DeSantis is a good governor for the state of Florida and has many attributes that make him important for a host of reasons, but this is not a war-time general. Ron DeSantis is a politician.
Accept things as they are, not as you would wish them to be. Because this is the same man that many people would select to face the greatest enemy to our republic. DeSantis is showing us right now that he does not possess the courage, desire in scale, or ability to fight the enemy we face in this battle.
DeSantis is a good finisher, a good maintainer, a good and solid ally who operates well when surrounded by the fortune of an aligned legislative body; but he is not yet the weapon that can stop the corrupt UniParty enemy within our republic.
There are moments that show the character of the politicians in the club apparatus. The pathetic and embarrassing Ted Cruz speech at the 2016 RNC nominating convention was one of those moments. The response, or lack thereof, to an illegitimate FBI raid on the personal home of the leader of the republican party is yet another.
Accept things as they are, you will be far less disappointed later on.
So, Sundance is another mind reader. It’s amazing how many internet scribblers can see so much from virtually nothing.
The Florida AG should be in front of a Grand Jury seeking an Indictment on RICO charges for this quisling magistrate for the Criminal Conspiracy he just entered into by signing this warrant AFTER recusing himself previously from the Trump case..
What crap. We really should expect better from Sundance.
DeSantis made a perfectly clear statement condemning the Gestapo tactics used by the FBI.
Silence is consent.
DeSantis has an opportunity to lead MAGA. Let’s see what he does.
I think he’s keeping his powder dry. He’s quiet for a reason
Probably smart. He can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said, all he can do is to get stuff splattered on him.
I agree. The tweet was strong and appropriate.
It sounds like Sundance was looking for some sort of hysterical reaction.
That’s amazing information.
I’m conflicted
As a longtime Floridian, I have been gratified by DeSantis bold direction in Florida matters.
But……I was expecting a huge bellow of PURE RAGE from him Monday night!
Other folks were on TV immediately ……gobsmacked and furious.
His response, when we got it…..left a lot to be desired.

For me, this is where the rubber meets the road.
DeSantis is a politician. Is he a Patriot FIRST putting America AHEAD of his political career?
Few politicians do.
For me, the jury’s been out on DeSantis. This may be his first real true challenge to show how he stands up stand up to the unconstitutional portion of the feds and the Left’s satanic “political correctness.”
So far, not looking too good.
Not hysterical…..
….more like seething…..furious……controlled fury!
Wow, this is the kind of piffle I’d expect out of an MSM outlet trying to stir up trouble. This guy should know better.
There is no apparent political path to transform today’s massive government back into its Constitutional, limited form.
Yes.
Is there any chance he (de Santis) was informed of the raid beforehand? That would certainly put him in a very awkward position . . .
We've had enough of that from every corner the past two years or so.
DeSantis issued a brief, mature statement that managed to include the weaponization of federal agencies, the corruption of Hunter Biden, the regime's 87,000 new strong-arming IRS troops, and capped it off by calling Biden and his gang a "Banana Republic."
I'd say that's a pretty good tweet.
