In Topics: Trump President DeSantis
Peak Stupidity posted an 11 part series Trump v DeSantis that ended with DeSantis taps out on January 22nd of '24. Our topic key President DeSantis was overly optimistic, of course, but we're not changing it. Even I, a big supporter of Ron DeSantis of Florida, wanted Trump to get back into the Presidency after the ctrl-left went after him with bogus lawfare and more.
Here are the old posts, from the Fall of '22 through the end of Spring '23 (with round 10 at the beginning of '24 also): Round 1 - Personalities - - Round 2 - Immunity to Kung Flu Panic - - Round 3 - Immigration Invasion - - Round 4 - Tag Team? - - Addendum - David Cole article - - Round 5 - The Ukraine/Russia War(mongering) - - Round 6 - Quantity of Hatred Generated - - Round 7 - Richard Hanania Substack post -- Round 8 - Birthright Citizenship - - Round 9 - Ken Cuccinelli interview and Round 10 - Vetoing the Hecklers.
Though it's in regard to a small news item and has under 200 views, the snippet of Governor DeSantis at a press conference a couple of months ago caught my attention because... what a difference! It was so nice to see a couple of minutes of an American Conservative talking about conservative matters without being the egotistical blabbing bullshitter that Donald Trump is. As our Fed Gov is very close to being that seen in scenes wrongly-guessed to be 500 years into the future in the movie Idiocracy*, this video is a breath of fresh air. DeSantis' calm speaking manner, civility and rational thinking takes us out of the UFC-at-the-White House Idiocratic world back to sanity. Come to think of it, if Trump had anything good to say about this guy, who has only done his best to HELP Trump on Job #1, he could call him Ron DeSanity. (Yes, I am proud of that coinage, which just now came to me.)
Would a President DeSantis have gotten America into war with Iran? I don't know. Why did Trump? I think of the reasons, the pressure from the big Jewish donors and the reliance on bad advice from others as possibly not being factors with a President DeSantis. There's no way to ever know at this point.
Trump has the right Conservative instincts on most issues, especially the existential domestic one that Peak Stupidity cares about the most. DeSantis does too, and he does more thinking for himself.
BTW, I wrote above "small news item", as this didn't become any national story, AFAIR. However, it's about another lefty judge (a black woman, whatda' know?) who let loose a criminal sex predator who then proceeded to murder a 5 y/o girl. This could have been just as big a story as that of Stephen Ogilvie or Henry Nowak in the UK, but then, this happens even more regularly, and the solution for this home-grown problem is simpler. Ron DeSantis describes the simple solution of impeachment of judges (by his Florida State Legislature.)
Instead of going round and round in circles talking about this murder and writing tweets to the world, Ron DeSantis calmly and sanely described what the Florida Legislature should do.
He does have a big advantage in having a good Attorney General, James Uthmeier, who is working on this, and an 85-34 R-D advantage in the Legislature, more than the 2/3 needed for impeachment if the D's do the usual tribal stonewalling.
President Trump doesn't have that kind of advantage, and he does have more groups of various sorts arrayed against him, many supported from the Singham & Soros types internationally. Could DeSantis handle this? Maybe Trump's brash way with the media and his enemies is a good tool, one that DeSantis definitely does not have. Man, I'd just like to see someone speak about things calmly, rationally, and sanely like this guy. I'd feel like Idiocracy is still a few more decades away.
As far as I can tell from www searching, Judge Tiffany Baker has not been impeached yet. This judge has, however, recused herself from presiding in this case of murder that she indirectly caused, so there's that ...
