‘Doggie’ for Ron DeSantis’ kids will have to wait until he’s in the White House

'That would be probably the opportune time to be able to do it.'

Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested Thursday that an impending poochie purchase for the First Family might be delayed until he finds a new job.

“I know that the one thing that we will do is we will procure ourselves a doggie for the kids because they’ve been asking for one. And so that would be probably the opportune time to be able to do it. And I think that that would be a lot of fun for them,” DeSantis said in Ankeny, Iowa.

The Governor’s offhand admission that he did not get his children a dog for Christmas suggests they were likely disappointed, given a seeming hint on national television that a Very Good Boy might have been heading to the Governor’s Mansion this week.

“The thing is: we’ve got a big yard now at the Governor’s residence. I mean, you know, we absolutely could get a Lab and let them run around and they’d have a lot of fun,” DeSantis said during an interview on Newsmax that ran before Christmas.

During that same interview, the Governor cast aspersions on the current President, suggesting his dogs were violent because they lacked stimulation.

“You know, the Bidens’ dog biting people, that’s because he’s not getting exercise. Like, you’ve got to be able to do that,” DeSantis said.

The President has attempted to keep both Major and Commander at the White House, but the German Shepherds both attacked staff and Secret Service before their removal.

It remains to be seen how a President DeSantis would handle dogs in the nation’s premier residence. But it’s clear, at least at this point, that the Governor has no plans to bring a dog into the First Family.

    Well, you’re never getting a dog, kids, and your father is hateful, bigoted trash, along with being a loser. Don’t get us started on your mother, either.

      Maybe a cross between a shitzu and a bulldog – a bull-shit I think they’re called.

    Rhonda says and does such despicable things so frequently, yet somehow Rhonda just topped them all:

    Vote for me, Rhonda, or the kids don’t get this puppy I’m dangling in front of their faces! Vote for me.

    Do it for the Childten, Rebooted. The saving kids from turning gay due to books didn’t work out, so reboot and retry an extortion approach. No presidency, no puppy

    Fsck this Rhonda mstherfsker. Seriously, fsck then. Sickening!

    So it looks like the kids won’t be getting a dog, period. Who cares?

      Exactly. One thing is for sure though, if DeSantis ever gets a dog it will be well trained and obedient. Nothing like that mutt that Biden has. Biden’s mutt is a reflection of his leadership. NONE!

        So, Biden as a leader has NOT been well-trained and obedient?

        MAGAnits, conversely, crave someone to order them about and punish them if they fail to conform.

    Those poor kids are dragged to DeSantis promotional shows and used as pawns. They aren’t in school building friendships and playing athletic sports. They will be behind academically and emotionally. And the kids ask for a dog. Robbie is afraid of dogs because he is so little and the dog might chew his lifts to shit. As parents They sink. Throwing a ball to your son doesn’t make you a good parent. It is all for show.
