How do you know a US president is lying?
-
His lips are moving.
Some are able to write as well. Not all, really 😅

Lol. This guy
So would there be no federal taxes?
The aim is to starve out communities that rely on it, and sic the military on dissenters
Does not the military rely on it
Military is military, they get their own funding, and the aim is to have them be the functional government
Isnt this mostly going to be starving conservative comunities?
Red states? Absolutely Conservative communities? The only ones they consider are board meetings
Yeah some deep red states would be absolutely fucked
Um, so his army is going to follow the “reddit mod” model and work for free?
Who’s paying the military in this scenario?
The only taxes GOPS want to pay are the Military Tax and the Police Tax
As there were none before Jekyll Island it would be entirely possible to not have it again. But it’s too late and your country will go bankrupt most likely by the end of this decade.
Yeah, but you have the charisma of a wet saltine so…
Come on now, that’s not fair, if a wet saltine was my only food, I would choose it over starving. If DeSantis was the only candidate I could put on the ballot, I wouldn’t vote.
But he’ll have the backing of the entire Republican party once Donny passes away.
Not really concerned about Regional parties.
OP this article wasn’t even relevant 2 months ago. This loser isn’t even getting nominated.
as president i promise to dismantle the whole government
Finally, a president true to their word
It’s more that he wants to destroy the regulatory systems that prevent companies from doing anything they want. This is a big step for fascism. Hitler and Mussolini both deregulated the markets and privatized everything they could. Fascism is simply Capitalism run rampant. After that they usually invade another country and create a slave labor force, which is why he wants to “go to war with the cartels.”
I love how even his childish simplistic plan was over thought. Why get rid of all of them when the IRS will single handedly kill the country if eliminated. That military budget that gets R’s so hard goes bye bye.
Clearly going for the no-arithmetic vote.
So… the GOP base, then.
So his job is to look so bad that trump seems reasonable?
But if it gets support, also yay?
Russia/China are clearly playing the games the UK and the USA have around the world back on them.
This article is more than 2 months old
I don’t care but thanks for the heads-up.

Ron DeSantis pledged on Wednesday that he would eliminate four federal agencies if he were elected president: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Department of Commerce, Department of Energy, and Department of Education.
"If Congress will work with me on doing that,
we’ll be able to reduce the size and scope of government,” the Florida governor said in an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum. “If Congress won’t go that far, I’m going to use those agencies to push back against woke ideology and against the leftism that we see creeping into all institutions of American life.”Ok, so none of this is going to happen.
It’s so weird seeing the IRS as one of the more prominent victims of partisan polarization, especially with a ridiculous enough promise even we libertarian-minded folk tend to react along the lines of “whoah that’s pretty crazy to jump to, the budget is a system that needs adjusted with care even if - especially if - that’s your goal”. It’s as if he’s trying to cater specifically to really dumb business owners.
I fail to see how rah rah DoE/DoC even makes sense as a campaign promise.
Reaganomics was a horrendous failure for this country, and nearly 50 years later here we are with Republicans pushing those policies again on the American people.
What DeSatan is talking about is a continuation of Reagan’s terrible “Starve the Beast” policies.
Starve the Beast is a plan by conservatives to reduce funding for various government departments and programs to a level below which those entities can function properly. Salaries and equipment cost money. Below a certain level, you can’t do your job properly. And that’s what Republicans have been pushing for a few decades now. Cut funding for programs, and then claim those same programs aren’t doing their job properly, and use that as the excuse to kill off those programs altogether.
It is a self fulfilling prophecy all so big business and the ultra rich can pollute more, hide their real wealth from taxes, and make our children dumb enough that future generations willingly vote Republican.
So basically the plan is to restore the late 1800s and be ruled by corporate barons
They miss it
Rule as* corporate barons
I’ve seen over 200 PragerU videos and they literally believe that it was a better time back then, and would actively invite a lower quality of average life if it meant they could execute the gays/asians/blacks
Of course they do.
Suppressed minorities and women? White men ruling EVERYTHING?
It’s like their wet dream.
So no federal taxes; education; or commerce regulation?
Because that’s going to end well.
About as well as every other decision DeSantis has made, yes.
100% this filthy meatball is ogling social security
Taking care of the elderly, even inadeqiately, is “woke”
If I can’t get my social security I’ll substitute robbing banks to support my retirement.
You can’t get enough out of banks these days to justify the risk. What you want to do is rob jewelery stores.
