Criticizing your opponent with legitimate facts is one thing, but mixing it with poison ruins the credibility of the whole lot.

From CNN: Under federal law, Trump doesn’t have the power to directly fire Fauci, a career civil servant, and remove him from government.

This seems to be all too conveniently forgotten. If he had chosen other methods available to him, imagine the sh*tstorm due to the complexity of the process. It appears we cannot even have a proper deeper conversation about this, and it all comes down to sound bytes. Such is politics and our short attention spans.

It's not forgotten....

The desantis supporters are just lying and mis-representing things...

Just like how desantis and his campaign lies and mis-represents things.

Poor little trump. Can’t even take a little criticism. No wonder he didn’t have people watch his back. Too fragile.

“ for which the federal government would designate a pot of money for each beneficiary to spend on a private insurance plan.”

A market based plan to fix a crappy system? Sounds good to me .
Trumps attack mailers list no solutions, just attacks.

Again this are standard Dem tactics , disappointed to see Trump use them .
And yes, SS and Medicare need to be fixed .
But anyone who tries is given the Reagan treatment . That is when the Dems said Reagan wanted seniors to eat canned dog food when he tried to fix things.

“Like this deception?”

Are you kidding me? People believe Hitler, Satan are really speaking?

It is satire, and hilarious at that. There was no attempt to protray it as real, as the eighth day special creation warrior’s ad does.

Well, since putting out fake images, and not saying they are fake is deceptive, and okay with team desantis and desantis supporters....

team desantis and the desantis supporters are just going to love the deepfake porn videos that will come out if desantis doesn’t disavow and say there won’t be anymore fake ai stuff used in his campaign.

Though, since desantis lies so much, how can anyone tell if he’s really telling the truth or not.

Haha, funny, I liked it. To his credit, or at least partial credit, he was always a bit uncomfortable with Fauci,….. but it took Trump way too long to figure out that Fauci was a self-absorbed con man.

I haven’t seen a Trump ad yet that wasn’t about fake memes.

You do know that trump said over 100,000 lies in four short years. They even pulled out the videos to prove it.

LOL

100,000 lies in 4 years?

Cite and prove it with sourced links.....

Otherwise, desantis supporters have the same morals about lying, as desantis and his team has.

Which appears to be no morals at all

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump

Trump’s false and misleading statements were documented by fact-checkers, including at The Washington Post, which tallied a total of 30,573 false or misleading statements made by Trump over his four-year term.[746] Trump’s falsehoods increased in frequency over time, rising from about six false or misleading claims per day in his first year as president to 16 per day in his second year, 22 per day in his third year, and 39 per day in his final year.[751] He reached 10,000 false or misleading claims 27 months into his term; 20,000 false or misleading claims 14 months later, and 30,000 false or misleading claims five months later.[751]

Some of Trump’s falsehoods were inconsequential, such as his claim of the “biggest inaugural crowd ever”.[752][753] Others had more far-reaching effects, such as his promotion of unproven antimalarial drugs as a treatment for COVID-19 in a press conference and on Twitter.[754][755] The claims had consequences worldwide, such as a shortage of these drugs in the United States and panic-buying in Africa and South Asia.[756][757] Other misinformation, such as misattributing a rise in crime in England and Wales to the “spread of radical Islamic terror”, served Trump’s domestic political purposes.[758] As a matter of principle, Trump does not apologize for his falsehoods.[759]

Plenty of lies in that small paragraph. Must have been written by David Brock.
