Communism is when you are punished for human trafficking

He views women as a commodity, I'm not surprised his two neurons fired off and made the connection.

Sounds like he doesn’t know what words mean.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 49 points 11 months ago

This might be the very first time I agree with DeSantis on anything. A communist, however, he is not.

[-] bob_lemon@feddit.org 13 points 11 months ago

Not the hero we deserve, nor the hero we need, but still a rare W for DeSantis.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 45 points 11 months ago

Man I am shocked and awed that DeSantis has a moral bone left in his body. Not sure I actually believe it I'm sure there's a angle I haven't seen yet, but I'll fucking take it I guess.

It’s probably his only move. He failed to take Trump’s place. Kissing the ring hasn’t gotten him anywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pivots to Rubio’s stance of several years ago—still really shitty but closer to pre-MAGA Republican.

Or, it might just be because he has daughters that are almost ripe for Tate’s picking.

I don't think the governor is personally involved in this prosecution. That may change if trump feels like he has to intervene though

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago

Somebody mad that they got Art of the Deal extradited to be the distraction for a party of abusers?

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 30 points 11 months ago

Minus the sex trafficking, the crypto scams, the regular scams, the scam university, the misogyny, the self loathing, the racism, the constant social media abuse, the bribery, and the weaponization of his incel audience, he’s a cool dude and I wish him all the best in this spat with that dirty communist.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 12 points 11 months ago

he’s a cool dude

[-] baggins@beehaw.org 26 points 11 months ago

He's not a right wing infuencer, he's a sex offending rapist.

[-] Franklin@lemmy.ca 21 points 11 months ago

the overlap may surprise you

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 9 points 11 months ago

Without my glasses, I can't tell if the graph is a Venn diagram or a circle.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 11 months ago

Ok, sex offending rapist, and right wing influencer. Seems a bit redundant to write it twice though /s

[-] nick@midwest.social 26 points 11 months ago

Angry that I’m on same side as desantis on anything

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago

I believe the tradition for resolving personal disputes like this in Florida is 12” blades in a pit until only one man is still moving.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

The winner gets to fight the gators.

[-] Laser@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago

That's a no blades fight though.

Let the infighting of the stupids begin!

[-] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

Thanks, Comrade Ron "Guantanamo" DeSantis. Very cool.

[-] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Hmmmm. Did Tate not love Trump hard enough? I heard the Trumpers are starting to weed out their own.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago
