The Sunshine State governor made a similar comment recently when he warned that Maine’s ruling disqualifying Trump ‘opens up Pandora’s box’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has revealed that he’s “looking” into ways to block President Joe Biden from the 2024 primary ballot in Florida.
“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,” the GOP presidential candidate warned Friday alongside Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, according to a video posted by CNN. “You could make a case — I’m actually looking at this in Florida now [if we] could we make a credible case” to block Biden from the ballot “because of the invasion of 8 million.”

Land of the “free” Home of the “brave”
“Credible”… Can you define that Mr. DeSantis?
Narrator: He couldn’t.
whataboutism over 9000
Do it, pussy.
Hey hey guys wait maybe he’s got a point…
…Let’s remove ALL of them from the ballot and purge all the old money from politics to find candidates that actually represent the people of their nation. 🤔
If only we could then dump that campaign money into schools and a national train system…
Seriously. I’m fine with not having an 80 year old run this country when any other time they wouldn’t even be considered for a job.
I get the sentiment, but using the Justice Department to illegally remove a political candidate who hasn’t broken the law (talking about Biden here)!? Yeah, there’s no way that gets abused…
Whatever Biden wasn’t going to win Florida anyway this is just political posturing for 2028 he knows he isn’t winning this year and he’s term limited in Florida so he’s got to keep his name in the national news somehow
Not whatever, this is fascism trampling our system
“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,”
I still can’t get over a political leader admitting to abusing the power of his office for personal spite, and not being removed from office
Personal spite, hell try personal gain. Don’t forget this asshole is running for president. Should hit him with election tampering.
“But he started it!” /s
What do these idiots have against immigrants ? they’re immigrants themselves
If you are born somewhere are you still an immigrant tho
By your logic everyone everywhere is an immigrant
most Americans arn’t natives
Hot take but if you are born somewhere you are a native, land doesn’t belong to anyone, that goes for people who live in Europe too
An immigrant is someone who leaves the country where they were born for another country
My blood is German but I’m born in Canada, that makes me Canadian not German lol
My Nigerian nephew was just born in Finland, he’s not an immigrant he’s Finnish. But why are people “native Finns” when Finns stole the land from the Sami people? By your logic all finnish people are immigrants
How about Iceland? Nobody existed there till somebody landed on a boat, does that mean all Icelandic people are immigrants?
Wild concepts here I know but if you need more examples I can keep going
no, but if one group lives there for a few thousand years, and another group comes like less than 300 years ago, then no technically you are not a native of the place, especially if you come from a colonial background.
now this doesn’t mean that you are any less of a citizen, but it does mean that generally speaking that you come from a very different background
So when are white Americans not considered immigrants anymore? I hate desantis too but if he was born in Florida how can you call him an immigrant? That makes zero logical sense
All of Europe is stolen land, so who are not immigrants there?
And when you say “different background” do you mean skin colour?
I like my Finland example with my nephew, he is black but natively speaks finnish and was born there, is he an immigrant or a Finn?
So when are white Americans not considered immigrants anymore?
A: never, mainly due to the history of the colonial expansionism of “white” Americans (the fact that you still use white already shows the problem)
All of Europe is stolen land, so who are not immigrants there?
A: only some parts are.
And when you say “different background” do you mean skin colour?
A: can’t help it that black people were the slaves, Native American Indians (as opposed to the first nations of Canada, or the natives of southern America, because even these people have different backgrounds and experiences), or the Chinese “workers” of the early industrialization, often puts the demarcating line really close t skin color (almost like America is deeply systemically racist or something)
I like my Finland example with my nephew, he is black but natively speaks finnish and was born there, is he an immigrant or a Finn?
A: did his ancestors kill most fins/Saami and drive the remainder into reservations in some backwater badlands?
People on lemmy are completely delusional
If you can reasonably trace your ancestors and they came from a very different country than the one you live in, then you don’t have much of a right to complain. People used to complain about Italians and Irish coming to the U.S. as well and now the people with Irish and Italian ancestry will complain about immigrants while celebrating their own “heritage.”
That makes me laugh every time. I told my coworker that my family has been on this continent longer than her and in fact have been on this piece of land longer than her since it was part of Mexico before the US took it. Heck I’m from native ancestry (couldn’t trace it exactly), even before borders my ancestors have been roaming these lands. Shut her up for a minute but she’s very passive aggressive and self victimizing as a Caucasian republican.
They don’t see it that way.
Honestly. Republicans are nothing but a bunch of children.
Seriously. American politics is nothing but embarrassment upon embarrassment upon embarrassment. world shaking head
How many years do we have to keep hunter’s laptop and Biden bad. Find the evidence or stfu.
They will never stfu. The lack of evidence is just further proof of a giant conspiracy to these folks.
I liked it a lot better when the conspiracy theory nutjobs treated the x-files as a documentary and were convinced the government was hiding evidence aliens were among us.
He knows GOP voters don’t follow up on anything and their memories don’t extend beyond the last Fox News show they watched. That’s why he can say shit like this knowing full well he won’t come up with anything.
I’m glad I will be canceling out one dumbass vote in Florida…there’s literally dozens of us who aren’t Nazis tired of this stupid short fuck.
Username does not check out. Stay strong over there o7
This “we’re gonna remove Biden from the ballot” thing is the most elaborate masturbating contest between the GOP, man.
Collective masturbation of the GOP… almost a circle, even.
republicans don’t run on credibility.
they’re practically immune to credibility, let alone merely blind to it.
god this is going to be such a stupid year
No, it’s gonna be a stupid decade or even longer. And it’s already been going on for a while. Thats what you get when for years you ignore a dysfunctional education system and promote idiotism. It doesn’t vanish over night and finds its way into public discord. Then it’s years of not strong enough responses to totalitarian practices and you get another fascist italy or nazi germany.
Trump tried to overthrow the government and he is still allowed to run for president. Im just hoping the title of a history book chapter describing this will not be “causes for 3rd world war”, but I’m not optimistic.
We’re already in ww3
Nope, we’re still deep in proxy war territory. Why ruin your economy when you can turn a foreign country to rubble to project power?
Proxy Wars now, Climate Wars on deck.
again
I honestly expect this year’s stupidity to trump all previous ones
pun intended?
