    Desantis is clearly worried that Andrew Tate will push him out of the running for “biggest piece of shit in the United States”… These guys take that award very seriously

      Likely he will get some labor rights related stuff, then will help in gutting worker’s protections in the name of “Hustle culture”, after that he will take the blame for the fallout and land into some another position.

      We are establishing a department of rape and scams, and these guys know all about it. Look at them now. With a tear in their eyes, the Tate brothers said Mr. Trump we’d be honored to head the department of rape and scams, and we’ll be sending you some bitches as soon as possible.

      Aside from that, I find it weird that the governor of a state has repeatedly spoken on behalf of the entire state illegitimately declaring what is and isn’t welcomed in the state. In the past, he said something about Florida is where woke goes to die. It’s a weird thing to do because the governor is the lead executive of a state government, not the cultural voice of the entire state. As far as I can tell, the state legislature decides who and what is welcomed in a state through laws. Aside from that, the population itself would be its own voice. Am I wrong? Does any other governor do that?

      Disclaimer: I don’t disagree with the Andrew Tate thing, but I find it weird that a governor is making these statements.

      I never figured out why Paris Hilton’s sex tape was relevant at the time. Before the sex tape she wasn’t a public figure, or a celebrity. She was just daughter to the Hilton hotels founder. So why would anyone treat THIS sex tape like the Pam Anderson/Tommy Lee sex tape? Pam and Tommy were both celebrities BEFORE the tape was leaked. But Paris? Nobody knew who she was.

      Or the same thing with the Kardashians. Nobody knew them before the sex tape. I still don’t know why people would care about them.

      I guess what I’m asking here, is did tate ever have a sex tape leaked where some guy came all over his face while he was sucking it off? Apperently if you leak that sex tape, even talentless hacks can become celebrities.

      Although…fair play to Paris. She’s actually quite smart and doesn’t deserve to be labeled in the same camp as tate.

    Could someone explain to me why DeSantis doesn’t want him then?

      Desantis has make a huge show of “stopping human traffickers” and there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy. He can pass this off as a “White House thing” and try to keep his position.

          This is the most confusing part of the situation.

          DeSatan is no voice of reason, so it’s a play for personal protection or gain… somehow. What do they know about Tate that’s so much worse than the average MAGA?

        So then why was he fine working and knowing Matt Gaetz committed statutory rape and paid for those women to cross state lines. He should have been actively campaigning for him not to be a Florida Congress member.

          Technically, even though it was child rape, the child was post-pubescent and willing. DeSantis and Gaetz apparently only care about trafficking when it involves shipping brown people into the country as slaves (supposedly).

          Just one more time for the record, Trump’s first choice as a cabinet pick Matt Gaetz Raped a Child.

            They never brought charges, just stopped the investigation. My guess was the play is simple there, if he didn’t do exactly what Trump wanted, the DOJ could bring charges and put him in prison for years and end his career. Thankfully some people saw through it, yet not enough to pressure for the charges to be taken up and followed through on.

      You know how when you meet someone who’s never seen your favorite movie that you’ve watched 800+ times, and you’re jealous they get to see it for the first time?

      Yeah, I feel the opposite of that today for you. Like I’m genuinely worried about your mental health if everyone starts sending you videos and quotes of his all at once. I imagine that may cause a mental breakdown.

        That’s what makes his anti-Tate stance exceedingly cute, on so many levels. Not only does he lack the power or will or conviction of his words, but no-one one either side gives two shits what DeSantis has to say on this topic, or any other.

          Well, the hilarious thing is, that DeSantis can side with the state’s rights crew of NY, Maine, Washington, California so far, and he could also have his attorney generals or other people mess with Trump legally for taxes or other issues, eg Mar A Lago. He actually very much could be a headache for Trump just like he was for Disney.

      Well, their recruitment along with the Silk Road guy is all part of Trump’s plans to start massive human trafficking and drug trafficking organizations. He needs their expertise in human trafficking so he forced Romania to let them come here.

      The current node for human trafficking, to help cover where people are being sent, is Guantanamo (and Panama). That’s Ron’s old stomping grounds. And while I think he’s cool with torture of “terrorists,” he’s not so into mass rape of women, egg farming, genocide to grave rob America. I think he also got freaked out by the Les Miserable song at the Governor’s Ball (he cowered) and all the loud loud pushback he’s experiencing from people calling in constantly to complain and also the protests.

      Or maybe he’s just mad they took the spot he wanted.

          Does Qanon cite NPR? NBC? Do you know how to tell what a reputable source is?

          Ever think QAnon was a psyop to muddy the waters for THESE fucking plans? QAnon started in 2017, around the time Manafort was arrested for Russian collusion with the Trump campaign

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_of_Paul_Manafort#:~:text=release their names.-,Verdict,disclose a foreign bank account.

          Putin had time and a lot of resources to plan this. The CIA files alone being clawed through by Tulsi (a known Russian asset) likely are deeply personal to him and may even mention him, friends, or old enemies. There’s mountains of evidence from reputable people (not something obviously fake like QAnon), which I have linked in my original post.

          Like idk man, it’s just denial on your part here. I hope what’s coming doesn’t surprise you too hard.
