Ron DeSantis returned to an increasingly familiar subject during his remarks in Philadelphia. Addressing the Moms for Liberty convention, the Florida Governor and 2024 presidential candidate led off his remarks with more harsh words for drag queens.
“I see events like they had in New York City, where they’re chanting, some drag queen, ‘We are coming for your kids,'” DeSantis said. “Let me tell you something. You start messing with our kids, we’ve got problems.”
The Governor has bet on denouncing drag queens throughout his 2024 campaign, including during a recent speech in Hollis, New Hampshire, a state where the Governor’s polling has gotten worse over time against Donald Trump and the field.
Remarks there seemed to be a rough draft of Friday’s delivery.
“You know, there was a thing, I think it was in New York City. Some of you may have seen it,” DeSantis said in New Hampshire. “It was some type of demonstration and they had like these drag queens saying, the chant was ‘We’re coming for your children.’”
“Let me tell you this, you know, like people, adults, you know, they do. It’s a free country, right? I mean, like, I kind of just, like, you know, mind my own business. But you start coming for our kids, we’ve got problems. And we are going to stand up for our kids,” he continued.
The Governor has also addressed drag queens in the military, including during speeches in another pivotal state.
“In the Navy, they’re doing things like gender pronouns and drag queens for recruiting, talking about things like global warming and really being detached from the core mission of what our services are supposed to be doing. And that has caused warriors to leave the service. It’s caused recruiting to plummet,” DeSantis said in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, back in May.
Hawkeye State Republicans had heard something similar before.
“When you see videos of folks recruiting for the military services using things like drag queens, you know, that is just fundamentally wrong,” DeSantis said at the Feenstra Family Picnic, a major confab of Iowa Republicans.
“You see them recruiting with, like, using drag queens and doing stuff with the pronouns and all this other stuff. That’s part of the main reason recruiting is so low,” DeSantis told podcaster Dinesh D’Souza in May.
In addition to talking drag queens (again) in Philadelphia, DeSantis found common ground between himself and the reaction the conservative “mama bears” got as a sign that both parties are “winning that fight” against liberals.
“I must say, I think we have something in common, more than just our shared belief in education and parents’ rights. I see that Moms for Liberty is coming under attack by the Left, attacked by the corporate media protest out here in the streets,” he said.
“Now you know how I feel everywhere I go,” DeSantis quipped.
The speech otherwise revisited a series of familiar tropes, including the alleged injustice of transgender athletes in women’s sports, the perfidy of the “Pronoun Olympics,” and The Walt Disney Co.

Rhonda: “Drag queens are the Devil”
FP: Rhonda said “Drag queens are the Devil”
Thomas: “A.G. Gancarski rehashes DNC bought DeSantis bashing”
What actually happened: FP reported what Rhonda said.
Thomas, if you don’t like to read a report on what Rhonda said, if you considering reporting on Rhonda’s speech to be “bashing” Rhonda, perhaps you do not like what Rhonda said.
Hardly anyone does like Rhonda’s nonsense. Obvious thing here is that you don’t like Rhonda’s nonsense either, but you like Rhonda, so you make silly claims about reporters reporting on Rhonda.

People keep exercising their 2nd Amendment rights on school children, so the GOP’s deflection is that drag queens, not right wing nut sacks armed with high powered rifles, are who will harm children.
“Never mind the bullets all flyin’. When a drag queen gets near, children be dyin’!”

Perhaps as an unsuspecting younger man the runt had a shocking and deeply troubling incident with a trans or a queen, perhaps after a barroom pickup. Would explain a lot. I’ll bet he got DNA results on Casey.

We need the channel Dame Edna to interview DeSantis. He’s clearly lacking any sense of humor and is no match for the sharp wits of a drag Queen.
Would love to see DeSantis address his vile remarks to LGBTQ people in person, but he is too cowardly, hiding behind these so-called moms of the American Taliban.

Thomas, there’s no such thing as the “2024 GOP presidential race.” There’s a GOP primary.
Whoever doesn’t lose the GOP primary, their name is listed as representing GOP’s presumably best and brightest offering for the presidential race against a Democrat, Biden, and some Libertarian.
Only question is between Rhonda and Donald, which shall be the GOP candidate, and which shall become the Libertarian candidate?
Or will Rhonda stick with their apparent Veep Rhonda plan, hoping to trick some GOP women into thinking there’s a woman on the GOP ticket?

Luckily for Rhonda, drag queens wear heels, so they will never, ever see Rhonda, not even if Rhonda is standing directly in front of them.
Rhonda will walk under the drag queen radar, so to speak.
Oh, unless Rhonda is on his box again. Rhonda’s box might turn out to be Rhonda’s Brutus.
Et tu, Rhonda’s Box?

June 30, 2023 at 3:42 pm
At this point we can infer Casey got bullied as a child too. Evidently her bullies must have yelled about how she looked a drag queen while they beat her up. She and Rhonda should be seeking therapy, not the Presidency.

Right before WW2 there was another national influential fascistic womans’ group. America First was a slogan then too. Meaning white Christian rightwing European of course. I forget the name, but the leader laughingly called it “my thundering herd”! Leaned Nazi. Fell apart as soon as Hitler declared war on the US.

A notorious antisemite too. She wrote basically an encyclopedia of antisemitism. I saw that a Klan online book store still had it for sale maybe 15 years ago. Maybe still.

Drag queens can conceal carry now without a permit and without training, so when y’all MAGA dip sticks show up with you AR15s to protest a pride parade, you’d better be very careful that the people in the parade don’t feel like, ahem, their life is threatened.
AR15 guys showing up to a parade don’t get to make that claim since they knew there would be scary drag queens at the drag queen parade and they could have just stayed at home.
Thanks for defending drag queen parades, Rhonda! I know you didn’t mean to do it, but given your gross incompetence, you occasionally do good things on accident. So, thanks, Stupid Rhonda! Thanks!
Of course Trump will eat your, um, “lunch, “over this once he reads this during his next golden throne hamberder break, but whatever Trump does, that is beyond my control. I just wanted to do the right thing and say “thank you, Rhonda.”

The primary and biggest issue is a multiple berry aneurism brain infarcted elderly US President continuing to be in charge of anything . I am surprised Modi wasted a quick free lunch with him to hear about ‘new train lines built across the Atlantic Ocean’ and how he ‘sold India top secrets” . This portfolio of incapacitation evidence and Hunters obvious unregistered agent bribery is totally unacceptable to anyone sensible .

GOP been like this for as long as I can remember. Only difference now is they MAGA’ed by finding a new group of people toward whom to act like GOPs act. GOP requires black votes, so blacks aren’t coming for your children anymore. Now it’s trans folks and drag queens, lol. A much smaller voting demographic, therefore, for the GOP, American is great again because you can go out in public and talk shit about “those people” now that “those people” are trans drag queens who merely number in the thousands nationally.

MILF rejects
July 3, 2023 at 11:19 am
Sadly, many American moms are rejected when applying for membership in the MILF club.
Some of them organized this MFL club for the rejects.
MFLs, just angry at everybody, ’cause they are not MILFs. Not to their husbands, of course, that goes without saying, but also not to the guy at the next gas station pump and that makes them angry.
Their anger creates denial. They can’t be the problem, so the problem must be something else. Oh, the guy at the next gas pump, he’s a gay and a “groomer” too. That’s why he is not interested.
Note the MFL’s use of the cutesy word “groomer” they use to get by with calling everyone child molesters. If the MFLs directly said everybody was a child molester, people would be like “Y’all nuts.” So the use unverifiable language such as “groomer” which is so vague there’s no way to or disprove or even address in any way.
If the non-MILF MLFs really mean folks are groomers, why Won’t they use the real word and call everybody child molesters since that’s what they’re getting at, and that would be the real danger that grooming would lead to.
So, MFLs, just go for broke. Supplant your term “groomer” with “child molester.” Say people go into a classroom setting with teachers and stuff, read a book, and then leave, never seeing those children again, because the people that take time to read books to kids they don’t, they are child molesters and that’s why the read books to kids they don’t know and will never see again.
Put your husbands’ money where you flapping mouths are, MFLs. Call people “child molesters,” not “groomers.” That’s your point, so stop grabby-place footing around the issue with meaningless words. Put your slab on the table and use real language. MFL. “Child molester” is the word to use. Not “groomer.”
MFLs be Ashley Babbit Redux
July 3, 2023 at 11:46 am
MAGA men are just scared little boys. That’s why they shoved Ashely Babbit through that door first, betting Ashely’s life the cops wouldn’t shoot a woman.
MAGA “men” are leveraging their women with this MFL club, too. They send out their MFLs to say the most heinous things such that they might claim sexism when anyone refutes the claims of the MFLs.
American could be great again if scared little white men would stop throwing their women under the bus like they do.
MAGAs don’t think women should battle on the front lines of the US Armed forces, but they’ll sure put their own woman’s neck on the line when choosing who, they or their woman, will be the one to take a risk.
I suppose that’s why MAGA men don’t want women in the armed forces. MAGA men need their women at home, being in charge, taking the risks.
MAGA men won’t even get off the couch, and they blame “recession” and “they took our jobs.”
No, it’s that MAGA men just won’t get off the damn couch.
What up MAGGA, my homeschoool boy? MAGGA please!
