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.
Shut down all FBI field offices. All Federal CH's too and shown the Feds the border. I would push for a Constitutional crises.
All’s I know is that DeSantis takes action when he can take action. In this case I have no doubt that he is investigating who and what happened and what he can do within his legal role as governor of Florida. And he doesn’t usually tip his hand.
Sundance is a play-putz with a blog that people read - so what. He isn’t Conservatism’s God....
IIRC, DeSantis was one of the first to make a statement about this.
I’m with you brother. Either it’s your state or it’s not. He has no trouble throwing out a George Soros asshole but it’s golden opportunity to be a real contender and he is silent. Niente
Mark Levin was right to out Sundance as a shelf-stocker at Publix.

Tell me EXACTLY how the picture enhanced tweet reprinting above in this very post of DeSantis’ remark(s) is ‘silence.’
I would also confiscate their weapons. It’s more humiliating that way.
Sundance is looking for TRAFFIC on his site.
They were aiming at Trump but they missed and hit DeSantis.
I really like Ron this is such a golden opportunity. He’s shooting himself in the foot with a goddamn silencer.
It could be he is having staff doing deep research and preparing backup for his final kick-ass statement.Or a strong worded letter.< /sarcasm >
I think he will end up farting in their genral direction.
How about when he very publicly became the only gov to stand between innocent babies and the Trump SwampVax?
How about when he kicked the women of Disney in the nuts?
The state of Florida was invaded on Monday at 7 PM and the governor has not reacted to that invasion yet. Those are the facts. Ron I hope you’re saving up and this is gonna be one hell of a freaking orgasm.
Am I missing something or is there an obvious name missing from this DeSantis thread?
I’m willing to wait a bit longer in the hope that DeSantis is the speak softly and carry a big stick type...
He should have said you come into my state and you pull a raid on the President of the United States with our notifying me or my people you will be run out of the state of Florida ASAP. That’s for starters secondly he should demand to know where these guys came from. I don’t wanna hear Washington DC because it’s 13 hours away. They were station right inside Florida. Also the judge is a real freaking problem in this situation does he bring him up does anybody bring you up? Next next I would’ve brought out the National Guard and put them around the FBI buildings and say they’re too dangerous there possibly could be under attack by the citizens of Florida. You can’t come and go in Florida unless we know everything you’re doing.
