DeSantis 2024?

[KG1]

I guess one good thing now for DeSantis is that he can ditch the shoe lifts.

I have never eaten tranny before. Any cooking tips?

Well. It comes in a tube, as a paste. You stir it in to boiling water and once thoroughly mixed, you turn down the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Add spices to suite your taste. But warning, if it turns a little blue it wasn’t processed correctly to remove the blue hair die. Remember. This is a dystopian “prediction”. So life is not pleasant for ordinary people.

He still needs to do press conferences as governor of Florida. Why discard them when they still have a use.

Sounds more like Miso

Why should they? Trump's campaign donors are doing it. It's basically turned into a legal defense fund. It's their choice. Should'nt be forced on taxpayers.

Should the government be forced to pay it back when they lose? Should Trump be reimbursed for the Russian collusion BS? Government should not be able to bankrupt citizens, and certainly not political opponents free rein…

Shouldn't the government reimburse the taxpayers their own money for squandering taxpayer money then as well? Why is it the taxpayer's fault?

It is the taxpayers fault they put those perpetrating the political persecutions, don’t want to pay for the winners legal fees, don’t elect those that will file frivolous lawsuits…

I didn't vote for nor endorse it. I want my damn money back.

And before I get jumped on yes, I have contacted my congress critters and let them know that I don't approve of it, nor would I ever vote for those that do.

My opinion exactly. Just goes to show you that small government, low tax republicans are largely a myth. When the right cause comes along they're quite willing to throw the taxpayer under the bus to get their pet project funded.

The system is the punishment. They know it and they weld that sword with great efficiency. It does no good to punish all tax payers when not holding the actual criminals personally accountable.

I generally agree, taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for Trump’s legal battles.

I’m gonna kinda flip this a little though. I've often said Trump brought at least a little of this on himself by his own behavior. We shouldn't have to pay for that. You want to foot the bill for his legal fees, you sacrifice your own resources to do it. But, I don't think any sane, thinking person, believes that Democrats haven't been weaponizing the power of government against political enemies, and Trump is at the top of the list.

Trump didn't start the Russia collusion hoax. Democrats and a few Republicans did that. Should government pay for that? I submit that insofar as "government" is supposed to follow the rule of law, rather than the rule of law, it is the rule of men that caused Trump to have to spend his own money for legal defense. Trump, and really anyone who is a victim, should be able to sue the DNC and individual members of government who used their offices to weaponize government against citizens. HIllary's campaign started it off with hiring the dude who made the fake dossier. Sue her ass to recoup whatever personal legal expenses Trump had to defend himself from start to finish.

Same with the frivolous charges. He should be able to sue the people in government for actions they too. I know some of the lawyers are gonna lose their **** over that statement. I think the way it should work is to investigate and prove in court that these people conspired to do this ****, and once convicted of that, floodgates of all their personal wealth open up to being sued into poverty.

It's not my fault Hillary did that to Trump. Hold her accountable for Trump's legal bills, not me.

That's why I think people in government shouldn't be so shielded. Prove in court what they did that violates the people's trust, and once established, bankrupt those ********ers personally. And same goes for whatever .orgs they belong to if they were involved. DNC. RNC. Whatever.

Trump did sue HRC, the DNC and others directly over the Russia collusion hoax. Doesn't appear that he thought taxpayers should foot the bill. Good on him for taking it to those that were responsible for it.

Trump sues Hillary Clinton, DNC and others, alleging conspiracy to link his campaign to Russia

The lawsuit names a wide cast of characters that Trump has accused for years of orchestrating a "deep state" conspiracy against him.

Politicians, elected or otherwise, will use the citizens money to pay for any damn thing they please. If there's any money left over, they'll stick in their pocket. What's Joe Citizen gonna do about? Nuffin'.

This rather lengthy article paints a pretty comprehensive picture of why DeSantis failed.

Why Ron DeSantis couldn't shake Trump's hold on the GOP

Although Trump winning the nomination in 2024 was no certainty 12 months ago, the fundamental challenge of running against an ex-president who remains extremely popular within his party is undeniably a leading reason for why DeSantis's campaign failed.

The taxpayers are punished for their choices, a choice we get one vote each on. Maybe if enough folks cared, they would make different choices. That said conservatives might as well get theirs because you know the left is getting theirs and more…

That would certainly be exploited to lawfare conservatives…
