I thought he was farting in that meme. Lighten up, it was funny… an attempt at merriment and levity.

Don't Count Ron DeSantis Out

I haven't even counted him in - he's not running, he hasn't made any campaign speeches, I have no idea what his platform would be. If he does get in the race, he would have to finally take Trump on and actively go after him - so far it's all been one-sided, with Trump and his surrogates bashing DeSantis.

someone who is against cutting off children’s private parts without parental permission.

WITH or WITHOUT parental permission.

If they’re not 18, no operations/sex changes. Period.

You have to be 18 to vote, 21 to drink or buy cigarettes (which while harmful to your body, are reversible at least).

I agree, of course. I was just trying to emphasize how extreme the cultural left has gotten. "Sex change" is a misnomer, anyway. If a mutilated man doesn't use certain chemicals, devices and technical treatments on a daily basis, things seal up, and the the true sex becomes more apparent.

All this is just theater the DNCMedia made up.

And, of course, the Deep State and demoncrats/Leftists eats it up, loves it, worships and masturbates to it.

I like Ron. But he needs to wait.

BTW, the Republicans have voters, and the demonrats have ballots.

That’s the key to next year’s election.

“…an assassination attempt”

My first laugh this Monday morning.

People think Trump would quit? Over an assassination attempt. Get out from under that rock

All DeSantis needs to do is wait. Wait until Trump self immolates and removes himself from the picture.

LOLOLOL

I don’t see what’s so funny. I’m no anti-Trumper. I actually support him.

In spite of all the bone head moves he has made and is making.

But if doesn’t wise up, he will hand the nomination over to RDS.

Which will be fine by me.

That may be true, but any criticism of Trump is not tolerated by only-Trumpers. I will vote for Trump if he’s the nominee, but I refuse to approve of everything he says or does if I disagree with him about something. I will never give anyone my unconditional support.

DeSantis gave up Disney money to fight the groomers.
DeSantis gave up donor money to sign a 6 week abortion ban.
Yeah, he seems to be in the pocket of the moderates.

Doing the inconsequential things that make little difference to the average American, while ignoring the corruption of the FBI (something about Raids on a former president's home) not standing up for the UNBIASED rule of Law.

Yes RonRon is the the pockets of the Uniparty Oligarchs like the Koche Brothers

Trump is very popular with his base, but not popular nationally....especially with women.

You mean the FEMINISTS that have now screwed themselves with all of this LGBTQWERTY B.S.?

Right, those “inconsequential things” that coward Republicans refuse to address because the culture war isn’t worth fighting because it is a losing issue. Tell that to parents that don’t want sexually explicit books promoting LGBT in school libraries.

The Parents should HOME SCHOOL if they truly care about their children - something about sacrifices

THe FEDERAL issues - NO WARS, NO politized FBI, NO Spying by the FBI, CIA other Fed. Agencies on the average American, Exorbitant Federal Debt deficit that will wipe out Social Security

It is possible you have a limited view of the BIG picture

No, I am perfectly capable of multitasking. Regarding Home Schooling, I love the idea, but it’s not an option for many parents.

Sex change is a misnomer, in that they are not changing XY to XX or XX to XY. They’re just putting a ‘57 Chevy ass on a ‘63 body (for example). Change the outside all they want, it’s still XX or XY.

I never counted Ron DeSantis in in the first place.

I have no problem with DeSantis, but it was always going to be Trump in 2024… they sabotaged his first term and stole his second term from us - and we want it back - nothing less is acceptable.
