A fresh fundraising appeal from Gov. Ron DeSantis includes a new attack on Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 2024 Republican presidential candidate, in his latest appeal to donors, threatens to send “Kamala back to her liberal homeland” in a breezy turn of phrase that is his latest example of disrespect for the person who is one heartbeat away from the presidency.
The dog-whistle wordplay comes as part of a larger excoriation of the Joe Biden administration.
“The radical agenda of the Biden administration will be ripped up and shoved into a trashcan when we send Joe right back to his basement and Kamala to her liberal homeland. They won’t be able to do any more damage to our country, our kids, or our future there,” DeSantis vows.
On the campaign trail, DeSantis has expressed doubt that the octogenarian President will ultimately be the 2024 nominee of the Democratic Party, suggesting that Harris or California Gov. Gavin Newsom may ultimately be the standard-bearer.
The Governor has relished invoking Harris’ name to galvanize his base.
Back in August, the DeSantis campaign stole a page from bygone talk show host David Letterman, with a coffee cup and a T-shirt spotlighting “10 things Kamala Harris should focus her time on.”
Nine of those things involve “closing the border.” And the 10th? “Making sure Joe Biden doesn’t fall.”
The campaign texted supporters with a pitch.
“Gov. DeSantis is going to cause Kamala Harris to start job hunting; we understand why she’s obsessed with hurting our campaign. Still, we’ve put together some suggestions of what she could be focusing on instead. What do you think? Do you want to help us remind our Vice President to … do her job? Click here to donate, and we’ll send you a discounted 10-things tee or mug to start off your DeSantis merch collection,” the promotional text read.
DeSantis, who recently blamed the Vice President for national “decline,” spent weeks this summer beefing with Harris over her critiques of Florida Black history standards, which contain language suggesting slavery could benefit the enslaved. He bemoaned her attacks on the trail.
“You can’t be operating in bad faith against your political opponents, 24/7,” DeSantis lamented in Iowa. “You can’t be doing fake narratives, and we have some Republicans that actually sided with Kamala’s lies just to try to get cheap shots in on me.”
The Governor has focused on Harris as so-called “impeachment insurance” for at least a year, meanwhile.
“So, here’s the thing. I thought Biden picking her at first was the worst decision ever because she’s not great. But she’s like the best impeachment insurance and 25th Amendment insurance anyone could have,” DeSantis said in July 2022.
“Because as bad as Biden is, even though he can barely read the teleprompter, and as much as people disapprove of him, nobody wants Harris, and so they’d much rather stick with Biden floundering around than actually turn the wheels of power over to somebody that clearly is in over her head.”

Ron thr Babbler has to have a topic or two per day to babble about and stay in the news. I’ll bet his campaign has an internally posteď running list of potential topics. You can see from his babbling history that the topics should already have some familiarity to the public–longstanding or in the news–or should have appeal to his bases’ many hates or wishes.
Regarding recent news attention, how come we have never heard the babbler weigh in on his positions on flying saucers and alien space monsters. Lots of other politicians have. Rep. Luna has been heavily involved. Come on, Ron; pro or con on space monsters?

You are as senile as “Demetria Joe” if you believe that. How about a debate with Trumps and “”Dementia Joe”. No cue cards, cheat sheets, teleprompter, pre arranged questions. Joe can’t do it. Hell he got lost at Arlington on Veterans Day. You our esteemed CIC couldn’t find his way after placing the wreath.

The only candidate who has refused to do debates as of this writing is Donald Trump.
Joe Biden will have zero problem debating Trump when/if he become the Republican nominee.

They’ve obvioulsy been training Rhonda not to bobble his head constantly as he speaks. He bobbles it less, to a point, till the bobble reflex kicks in and then he can’t stop it for the remainder of his talking point.
What does this prove? This proves Rhonda is untrainable. He still can’t control his bobble head despite a massive training effort for having him not bobble his head.
The bobble head Rhonda Campagin is a total waste of effort for everyone involved.

Given how the racist flag, the Confederate Battle Flag, has been shunned and is not readily available anymore, racists tend to fly the USA’s Stars and Bars these days. You see a house with a USA flag outside, you have to wonder, “elderly or insurrectionist?” Given a (so called) “American” car with a USA flag bumper sticker, you have to wonder, “union member or insurrectionist? Given a pick up truck with USA flag Calvinized onto the rear window, no need to wonder. That’s an insurrectionist.

Let’s see inflation is at historic highs. Fuel prices are much higher. We are no longer energy independent. We have a Southern Border crisis with well over 8 million illegals that have entered. Putin invaded Ukraine after “Dementia Joe” took office. We have chaos in the Middle East. There are terrorist groups taking pot shots at US installations over there. Nearly 50 attacks. That’s just a few things. Biden has been a complete embarrassment and failure as President. Jimmy Carter thanks fools like you that voted for him. He is off the hook now.

As you are well aware when Donald Trump imposed trade tariffs in 2018 …..EVERY ECONOMIST predicted that American consumers would pay higher prices due to INFLATION. Guess what happened?!?!?!
As you are well aware the price of fuel is based on supply and demand. During COVID there was very little demand for fossil fuels BECAUSE PEOPLE AROUND THE GLOBE WERE NOT TRAVELING. So naturally when demand is low the price of fuel precipitously dropped. When you post immature SPIN it doesn’t make you look smarter.

Peter H: “Donald Trump imposed trade tariffs in 2018”
Maybe Ron isn’t getting traction in Iowa and the midwest because the farmers know that the federal government had to allot an additional $9.5 billion to cover the losses of ag sales to PRC due to Trump’s ham-handed farm program. Otherwise, many of them would have gone bankrupt.

Not letting you off the hook, though:
Employment is at a historic high. Fuel prices have come way down. We produce enough oil and natural gas for the entire country but the oil companies choose to sell it overseas to make more money. Florida doesn’t have enough immigrants — legal or illegal — to harvest crops, keep up with the housing construction demand, fill the job demands of the hospitality industry, etc. Putin invaded Ukraine (its Crimean peninsula) in 2014. Without parroting a Trump lie, name a time when there has not been “chaos in the Middle East” or “terrorist groups taking pot shots at US installations over there”. And no President has embarrassed America more than Donald J. Trump.

We need the Keystone XL Pipeline for American’s energy independece, because somehow crude oil from Canada flowing to Louisiana refineries and then being shipped to the highest bidder, somehow that helps people in USA. LOL. I suppose if somebody gets a refinery job that did not previously, maybe they benefit. Maybe not. Maybe they get a crappy, dangerous job for terrible pay and useless benefits such as CVS Aetna insurance, a 401K with a commision based money manager (ie somebody that takes 50% of your gains). The only people that would absolutley benefit from Keystone XL are the oil and pipeline COs and stockholders.

Employment is at a record high. Fuel prices are way down. We produce enough oil and natural gas to fuel our entire country, but the oil companies choose to sell a lot of it to other countries to make more money. Florida alone doesn’t have enough immigrants — legal or illegal — to plant and harvest crops, keep up with the housing construction demand, or fill the job demands of the hospitality industry. Putin invaded Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Without parroting a Trump Lie, name a time when there was not “chaos in the Middle East” and “terrorist groups taking pot shots at US installations over there.”
Those are all facts. Now an opinion:
No President has embarrassed the United States more than Donald J. Trump.

Not quite sure what you mean “DeSantis is very popular in Florida”
DeSantis is not popular in Florida. Not now. Not by a long shot.
If he were as popular as you claim, he would probably be doing better in the presidential race that he is currently is. He’s still way behind a certain someone.
I don”t care who you vote for in the Republican primary. Just have the guts to say to Trump, when he loses, to admit you didn”t vote for him. Or admit you did, despite the fact that he’s already said he’s going to round people up in camps if he becomes president. I’m certainly not voting for that, but if you are OK with that, well, when the leopard comes to eat your face, I will have zero sympathy for you, as you will in effect have voted for the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party.
