Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread

[Nice Guy Eddie 13512]

Maybe DeSantis did drop 600k for a single flight but a better guess is that more flights are already planned and paid for. Don’t be surprised to wake up to seeing the same with SF or Chicago.

For a movement that is nothing more than an endless series of contrived temper tantrums, this one is perplexing and vexing. It’s also politically brilliant. It checks all of the dumbest grievances, helps no one, and lines someone’s pockets with that sweet taxpayer cash. Win, win, win.

My son tries to pull stunts like this and we shut it down. I blame poor GOP parenting for DeSantis’ outburst — probably those absentee fathers again.

the guy who lied to a bunch of asylum seekers and shipped them to an unprepared town far away from where they need to be or are trying to go as part of a political stunt to... own the libs for not caring about asylum seekers (?) is going to be the next president (because the values behind such an act are attractive to american voters?), and the guy on the ledge saying that america is lost is... on a tilt against reality, and these things are consistent with one another?

It's true that 62% of undocumented immigrants are visa overstays, as opposed to illegal border crossing. You can do the math on the racial differences between those two groups, or why the right only cares about the 38% of undocumented immigrants who crossed the border.

Right, it’s absolutely been business as usual since 16 and 17.  Not much has happened in the last 5-6 years that might change those statistics.  Lol.

Lots of small dick motherfuckers held the office. But I’ll grant the small stature thing. Desantis is an elf. He will have to use a step stool for the debates. Still holding out for newsom vs Desantis for peak entertainment value.

James Madison was 5’4”. Looks like the average height is about 5’11”, doesn’t seem all that tall really. Of course, I know that all of us that spend so much time on Surly are over 6’ and look like Fabio, so we can be judgmental. 

[YGIFS 19450]

I don't think the average height is 5'11".  That seems about two inches too tall.  While poe it up is normal height, I can tell you that Anastasis only looks tall because of the elevated pharmacy platform.   He's very likely 5'7" with a 4" dick

[Nice Guy Eddie 13512]

DeSantis welcomes Cubans fleeing an authoritarian govt but wants to abuse Venezuelans fleeing an authoritarian govt.

I understand that Cubans have special protection but morally there is zero difference. Every Republican should be furious about Cubans in America.

The average height of presidents is what I meant. The American average is shorter, there’s a lot of short guys out there it seems.

Records confirm Ron DeSantis’ "political stunt" flights landed in Florida Panhandle

 

Quote

Exclusively obtained public records help to explain why two charter flights hired by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis landed in a public airport in northwest Florida as part of his deceptive, potentially illegal political stunt targeting 50 Venezuelan immigrants.

Significantly, the newly released documents from Okaloosa County incontrovertibly places the two chartered aircrafts inside Florida after arriving from Texas.

It also confirms the state’s use of the two charter planes having tail numbers N359SK and N411FJ to transport 50 Venezuelan immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.

That’s an important point for those who believe Governor DeSantis overstepped his authority under the state’s 2022 budget which contains a line authorizing transportation from the state but not into the state.

DeSantis is extremely uncharismatic. Take a second to listen to him talk more than a sound bite. Even if you agree with him 100%, I challenge you to continue to watch this video for more than a minute. 

he’s going to struggle to pull in the untraditional trump voters. Those voters will love his cruelty but they won’t be motivated. 

 

[Homercles 10205]

Exclusive?  That stuff is all avail on FR24/FlightAware.  Interesting they both started at different airports in San Antonio, flew to that little Destin airport where Vertol has hangers, stopped for fuel (I’m assuming) at different airports in SC, then flew to Martha’s Vineyard.  Wonder what the passenger manifest looks like on both of those.  
 

Not saying it’s some grand conspiracy, and if Vertol had some consulting/subcontracting role in all this it makes sense to go through airports where they have infrastructure…but the huge amount of money, apparently flying people from Texas thru Florida, and the connections of the Vertol owner all seem off.  
 

My guess is they went with who they knew to keep it quiet until after the fact, and are using their positions/relationships to spend states money in a shady way…or paying Vertol to manage a slew of these flights, and this was the first.   Regardless, it’s interesting to think about.

I imagine a pilot would get scared off if they say even the potential of losing their license vs flying one flight for DeSantis.

If the FAA just even said they were looking into the pilots, the DeSantis shuttle might be grounded for lack of pilots.

Some people define charisma differently. Some people find it appealing when someone is coarse, abrasive, foul, and offensive. To them that’s charismatic. It worked for Trump and so people like DeSantis are imitating it.
