Won’t be going remotely, anywhere DeSantis will be.

You’re dismissed. You may leave the room

I don’t think you agree with me, because I don’t agree with you.

well he hasn’t done anything yet ...

The threats alone and the entire witch hunt from the Manhattan DA are tyrannical.

Yea, I suspect that’s his thinking too which is why he shouldn’t be considered to be the leader of the country. Trump very much sees the destruction of the judicial system as “something to do with him”

What a sketchy guy. He talked about Bragg in general terms, not the Trump case or indictment. Then he trashes Trump by talking about hookers and payoffs. Many Dems and Never Trumpers condemned Bragg over the weekend for what he is doing. But not RDS. Nope. He shoved the knife into his political opponent even further knowing full well how bad this is for the country, not just PDJT. As I’ve said all along, he can’t be trusted. He back stabbed Trump and hangs out with the lowest of the low GOPe. Back him at your own peril.

“If either you or DeSantis can’t figure out what this kind of tyrannical behavior by a DA has to do with everybody, then you’re lost.”


Well it seems pretty clear to me based on DeSantis’ response that he can figure that out, and called it out accordingly. So what’s the problem, exactly?

News Flash. This isn’t about Trump. It’s about our country and the political weaponization of our judicial system. As a lawyer, RDS should understand how dangerous this is. Unless of course, he’s in favor of it as a political tool.

“Agree. Can you imagine if the roles were reversed? Trump would go nuclear on DeSantis.”


Bingo.

Since you’ve never been powerful or wealthy you likely don’t realize that they encounter these shakedown scenarios all the time and they and their lawyers have to make judgement calls about how to handle them.

So let me get this straight. You want Desantis, who very well might be running for President of the United States against Donald Trump, to immediately defend Trump from an indictment that hasn't even been drawn up yet??? Is that what you want? You want the Governor of Florida to defend a possible campaign opponent BEFORE an indictment has even been filed. Again, you people are absolutely unhinged. Go back and look at Trump's recent statements about Desantis. Ron owes Don absolutely nothing.

To you it's all about Trump. Don't help bad Trump. That's your straw man fallacy.

To an objective person it's mostly about a tyrannical DA carrying out a witch-hunt investigation threatening a bogus charge.

It of course isn't about Ron "owing" Don. It's about all of us defending against tyranny. And it's about somebody who most likely wants to be president, who should be participating in that defense.

No we want someone with the conviction to stand up for right and wrong, and not wait or his base to be polled or to put his finger in the wind. For any one else what the DA is doing is flat out wrong.

Well said.

McCarthy’s response was more aggressive than DeSantis…..what more do you need to know?

Get your ears checked. No, he didn’t. He used weasel words to avoid having to do so while simultaneously stabbing his political opponent and his country in the back. Make no mistake about this: RDS is fine with what is happening with the judicial systems attack on Trump and MAGA as long as he gets what he wants out of it.

Unfortunately Trump has a nasty personality that almost invites such mockery, so I cannot blame DST here.
