The state is dispatching a contingent of at least 50 Florida National Guard members and 75 Highway Patrol officers to Texas, marking the first significant deployment since DeSantis pledged up to 1,000 Guardsmen on Feb. 1 to assist Texas. Additionally, preparations are underway for the deployment of the Florida State Guard, a civilian force.

The deployment to Texas is expected to span at least three weeks, with Florida Highway Patrol officers departing from Pensacola and National Guard members scheduled to leave from Plant City.

So desanctus has a press conference to announce he's finally getting around to sending people to protect the border, almost a month after he said he was going to do it?

What other types of announcements is he going to make? when he has successfully gone to the bathroom?

after a month?

When you don't know squat about Florida sending troops to the border throughout the past year, but you throw a tantrum just because you have...

I’m getting kind-of tired of you referring to the loser of 99 counties in Iowa who backed down after one primary as “America’s Governor”.

desanctus is running a not so stealth campaign to stay in the media, “so there’s a chance’ if haley drops out, and the rnc or leftist take Trump of the republican presidential ballot.

To help him, desantis has hired his successful presidential campaign staff and advisors, to advise him on how to successfully govern florida, as well as continue to campaign for president.

Strangely enough, I got tired of the nevertrumping desantis supporters continuing to attack, lie and mis-represent things about Trump and his supporters, when “i’m not a candidate” desanctimonius was already running for president, over a year ago

I would find that information more useful than your bowl-clogging posts.

attack, lie and mis-represent things

That is surely your mission. Gaslighting while more accurate info is clearly stated in the article you posted. Sober truth is not your friend.

Troopers and troops have been traveling to the border since May 2023. Dave
Kerner, who heads the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles, said he's seeing an impact.

"They have been in chases. They have been in fights. They have saved
livesโ€ฆ" Kerner, a Democrat and former state lawmaker, said. "When people
criticize our defensive tactics to stop illegal immigration, it speaks to me that
they don't have the world view of what's really going on in the United States of
America."

The state notes previous teams have made contact with nearly 150,000
undocumented and secured 2,700 arrests.

He is sending MORE people to protect the border. This means he has sent people to the border BEFORE. You knew that, but you wanted to cast a bad light on America’s best governor.

BTW, he told me he waited a month to send MORE people because he knew it would annoy you.

“America’s governor”, I like that. Do you mind if I use it? I like it better than “America’s best governor” or “America’s most excellent governor” or “Governor extraordinaire”.

Sounds like you are one of the Democrats the headline of the article mentions. And the headline says he's sending *more* troops, which should have clued you in that he has already done this previously and this is an additional deployment.

What other types of announcements is he going to make? when he has successfully gone to the bathroom?

How much more ridiculous comment can you make? The governor of a state makes announcements about action he is taking as governor...not his bodily functions.

Your obsessions with this man continue to balloon to more and more unhealthy levels.

Yeah, he sneakily keeps doing the right things over and over again.
