DeSantis 2024?

So you'll take a republican president if it's handed to you with minimal effort on your part.

Well not just any republican. I think it's hilarious that you think there's some kind of moral victory to be had here. You're like the leftists who fight over who's doing more activism for the cause. And what are you gonna do? Nevermind. I don't care. I'm not playing the virtue signal game. I'll leave that to the wingnuts.

In a word, slacktivism

Oh, like raising awareness?

Bring some cash if you're proselytizing the zoomers. You'll need to compete with the pink hairs. And maybe bring a glove?

con·de·scend
verb
show feelings of superiority; be patronizing.
do something in a haughty way, as though it is below one's dignity or level of importance

Bingo

Oh. I am now. I'm condescending the **** out of this post. But with cause.

Uh. I'm right there with you up to that last thing. Jim Jordan? WTF is wrong with you? Are you from Ohio or something? MTG baby.

Make it Lauren Bobert wearing a thigh holster - nothing else - and I'll play.

Idunno. She doesn’t really do it for me. How bout a compromise. Paulina Luna?



Granted. Bobert has a couple of strong points about her. I think Luna though has the overall bundle you want in a veep.

DeSantis campaign produced memes, spread them through anonymous accounts: report

One of the videos featured DeSantis’ face over the Florida state seal that spins into a Sonnenrad, a symbol associated with Nazi Germany.

Story has legs. NY Post reporting it now, among others, and the Post is in the DeSantis camp

To be fair, they are better looking than Tulsi.

You prefer Tulsi?

Over who? Luna, no. Prolly a tossup over Bobert.

He can vow it all he wants, I'm all for it. Key part is though. "if he had the support in⁢ Congress."

Serious question... can the President simply de-staff the department? Appoint a Secretary of DOE and de-prioritize all of it's "missions" and furlough the staff?

Under the "more than one way to skin a cat" paradigm?

Good question. I suspect the answer is yes, but that does not mean there will not be repercussions. If there was a congress that would not impeach him, he could, because impeachment is the penalty for not following duly passed laws…

IDK. Ask DeSantis. He's the one that vowed to "eliminate" those agencies with the caveat "if he had the support in Congress"

I would take with the support of Congress to mean doing it legislatively.
