Some possibilities I’m considering:
1. DeSantis is on team Trump. (This seems on ever shakier ground with each day that passes, but I’m still more than 50% convinced.)
2. Musk is on team Trump. If this is true, then it makes sense that he’d be involved in the DeSantis announcement.
3. Why is DeSantis running? To draw out and expose the anti-Trump, anti-MAGA forces in the GOPe. To drain cash from them.
4. Since I believe that the Patriots are in control, I also believe that Musk is on team Trump because I also believe that Twitter is a crucial factor in the Trump plan.
5. Why did DeSantis announce his candidacy on Twitter? Probably many reasons. But I think the #1 reason was to test the platform. Stress test, bot test, DDoS test, etc.
6. Why was the DeSantis announcement such a tech disaster? Was it really? Maybe not. Maybe the purpose of that was to draw more attention to it. More people will take a look at a train wreck than they will at a train that is boring and running normally.
7. DeSantis and Biden have similar roles in this plan. Libs will never listen to anything rational that Trump or any real conservative says. But they listen to B. They can see the idiocy of so much that he says and does and it’s hard for them to refute it. If you watch B carefully, not just to mock him, he actually says a few intelligent things. In his SoTU he was saying some of the same things as Trump was saying. When the libs are defending B, that is what they point to. They don’t realize they are pointing to TRUMP policies.
DeSantis is IMO fulfilling the same role with respect to anti-Trump conservatives ( - the ignorant Trump-averse ones, not the ones who are Deep State plants). I actually listened to the post-glitch part of the DeSantis announcement. Nothing super exciting, but it was solid in terms of conservative values. He made a lot of sense. IMO, if you listen with an open-mind instead of a mindset looking to find fault, you will hear things you like.
Do I think DeSantis can win. hahaha. no.
8. Is DeSantis intelligent? I think so. I think he is intelligent enough to know that he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance of winning. I think he is intelligent enough to know that he is committing political suicide to go up against Trump. So why is he doing it? IMO because he is part of the plan.

Am I asking you to agree with me? No. Just putting out some ideas for you to consider. For some who are worried about how things are going and/or confused about some of the crazy stuff happening, maybe these theories will make sense as a reassuring rational possibility in an ocean of insanity.
That is why I think about this stuff. When nothing seems to be making sense, I try to imagine how all ( or at least most ) of the pieces will fit together in a rational way.

So that is my case for why I think DeS is (semi secretly) on our side.
GO TRUMP. BEST. PRESIDENT. EVER.
TRUMP 2024
+++!!
Barron knows.
couldn’t leave for the weekend until I forwarded your memes, Mel!
MAGA!
Hate that stupid grin on Ryan’s mug. And McConnell ... ugh! Snakes, both of ‘em.
I couldn't agree more. I don't think anyone who posts on FR should have their "opinions" criticized. It's a form of censorship which should be an abomination here on not so "Free"republic.
Trolls should be ignored, errors of fact corrected with sources, but differences of opinion should be welcomed.
This forum was once an amazing resource but it has lost it's luster due to constant haranguing by a few who think they know best. It's now an echo chamber of the chosen. The brilliance has gone elsewhere. But it is still fun to watch those that won't be bullied or silenced stick it out.
This place is just a drive by now for me. I spend more time scrolling past scrolling past walls of text posted by the same people than I do seeking knowledge from a vast range of smart people I may not agree with. I gotta do that elsewhere.
Great post, thank you for those good words.
“You can’t control the bounces of the ball.”
No, you can’t.
I recall playing a golf match in HS - I hit a good drive then a dog ran across the road, under the GC fence and took my ball back home across the road...
Never underestimate externalities!
Google actually has a Memorial Day folded flag on their site. Hmmmmmmmm
Disregard last post. It was an AVG Google page.
Must have taken it down. Don’t see it.
Sending MTG a donation was no action to crow about.
It was done before you rang about it. I’m sure you did the same.
As for justifying to me what anyone does for the party ticket that POTUS runs on, or for the MIL, is more grasping fiction that never came from me.
Making certain that I understand the Q Thread is not for local live action, or speaking of organized civic action is loud and clear. It’s laid on thick enough.
My mistake was thinking ransomnote was wrong.
You’re both quite right. It can’t be done here, after all.
Now, back to your regular scheduled programming and memes. 😃
Yes, my posts are said to be more strident. It’s seems a mystery to you for why that might be. At least the strident ones are turned rather generic and infrequent. Be happy.
Amen,well said. Third paragraph is spot on.
also, someone posted that Truth Social’s contract runs out in June. So that IMO adds to the evidence that the whole DeSantis/Musk/Twitter brouhaha was prep for something. I’m hoping and praying for “The Storm is Upon Us”. :-)
