i guess his two choices are:

issue a declaration of secession or

marshall troops and head to dc

anything else is considered weak

That's a lot of action to take for a Governor of a State, don't you think? Perhaps you want DeSantis to provoke a State v. Fed war without all the facts? I expect DeSantis is doing what all good lawyers do……research and facts. I'm sorry he disappointed you by not being a dictator but I'd prefer he do things the right way. By the way, circular firing squads are of no use to us.

So you’re happy with nothing? I wouldn’t want you on my side in a really good fight.

I disagree. It’s not his fight. There is also some portion of the future spectrum of possibilities that DeSantis and Trump will compete for the nomination. DeSantis is a mere governor. Arrayed against Trump is the full force of the Fed gov’t which is working in any number of guises and agencies working to dirty up Trump. There are already any number of loud voices speaking out, at the Federal level, against the MAL raid. I don’t see what DeSantis might have to add that would in any way be functional. He made a statement, he has a state to run. Meanwhile, if Trump escapes whatever from this current effort as he has with prior efforts, it benefits DeSantis not at all.

For DeSantis, this falls under my classification of “NPG”. No Possible Gain.

I’d like to see the feds try to arrest a sitting governor.

Nothing? He told us his thoughts. His AG is out there giving us their position. What LEGALLY do you want him to do right now? The things you listed are not legal without legal justification.

As far as being on “your side - that's okay, you'd go off half-cocked and get us both killed.

I could agree with you if it happened in Kansas. But it happened at Mars Lago that happens to be Ron‘s backyard. I see nothing it’s a lovely day in Florida. Oh those tanks coming down the street ignore them. They’re on the way to Kansas.

“For DeSantis, this falls under my classification of “NPG”. No Possible Gain.”

You mean, after one of the most outrageous tyrannical events in American history where the Constitution was shredded, you think that DeSantis should not say much. It happened in his state while he was governor, an act of war against the people of the United States.

His possible gain would be that he is a warrior who is unafraid to engage in combat. But no. He needs to preen, and stay above the fray. Pathetic.

Yep - couldn't agree more.

Governor DeSantis is where he belongs for now doing a phenomenal job. Don't let the demon-commies instigate turmoil among our (TRUE AMERICANS) ranks.

"By the way, who the he!! is SUNDANCE?"

Sundance is smart, this article is dumb. It happens.

He's done good work for the few years I've read his stuff. He is long on details and is very good at timeline analysis. A bit full of himself and has some recurring techniques (' We accept things as they are, and not...blah, blah') that I'm tiring of, but generally a good man.

If that type of thing is in the cards, DeSantis’ participation or non-participation will not change things one iota.

I was gonna say, sounds like DeSantis went as far in push back on this as others, generally—no words minced in that tweet. Otherwise, does he really have more to say? Legally, he wasn’t in a position to stop it, even had he caught wind that it was happening.

Releasing a recorded message just sounds like what a pol does when taking an August vacay.

Oh, so you are mind reader too.

Yes. However, I'm reading yours now, and all I'm reading from it is a turnip slowly mouldering in a dumpster.

Glad you know something about HIM.

I wasn’t sure whether it was a human or a bot.

Does he have a name?

He’s quiet because he knows he might be next.

DeSantis spoke up right away when it happened. To talk about it more now is weakness.
