Gov. Ron DeSantis is speaking out again about Democrats and the embattled President of the United States.
In a Friday social media post, Florida’s Governor accused the opposition party of hypocrisy in bailing out Joe Biden.
“The Dems/media engaged in a yearslong cover-up of the fact that the POTUS was not fit for duty. Now they are scrambling – not because they are concerned about Biden being unable to do the job, but because they think he will lose and bring them down with him,” DeSantis said, affirming a post by Montana’s Tim Sheehy that blasted incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester for finally suggesting Biden may not be the strongest candidate in 2024.
DeSantis continues to speak out amid the internal conversation among Democrats. Many consider Biden too enfeebled to be electable and have been making similar points for weeks.
In a recent news conference, DeSantis said Democrats want Biden to leave the race “not because they think it’s important that a President can actually discharge the functions,” but “because that scene was so jarring that they understand he’s going to lose.”
DeSantis, addressing the Republican Party of Florida during a Wednesday breakfast meeting at Milwaukee’s Republican National Convention, said he wouldn’t even pick Biden for one of the most incidental appointed positions possible.
“If someone brought a candidate for mosquito control board appointment to me in Florida and it was someone like (Biden), there’s no way I would appoint him to the mosquito control board,” DeSantis said, making the case that the President isn’t “fit to lead.”
The Governor added that he’d like Biden to stay atop the Democratic ticket, however, even after describing the Biden White House on the RNC stage Tuesday night as a “Weekend at Bernie’s” presidency.
Despite rumors that Biden may step down, campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon told MSNBC viewers Friday that “the President is in this race – you’ve heard him say that time and time again” and that he “is the best person to take on Donald Trump.”
“We are built for the close election that we are in, and we see the path forward,” the veteran operative said on Morning Joe.

Didn’t rds want Biden removed under the 25th amendment? You can’t have it both ways. Maybe he’s scared of Kamala?

I think it is the Demo leadership that is afraid of Ka Mana. As they should be. How long did she last in the Demo primaries back in 2020?

Biden’s long legislative history left a lot of room for his primary opponents in 2020 to criticize him, but Kamala was the one who landed the hardest punch (about busing).

The Governor is 100% absolutely correct. The rats that told us Joe was mentally alert, as sharp as he has ever been are now fleeing from the Joe Biden “Titanic”. The Wicked Witch of the West and all the others that were pumping the US population full of bull crap are now attaching themselves to the Ka Mana “Titanic”. It’s fun watching this karma play out right in front of us. Their hate for Trump is so strong. Will Nancy lead an uprising if Trump is elected?

You keep hanging your hat on independents. Like us independents are not happy with the Ka Mana open border policy. Then we can talk inflation, fuel prices, foreign policy, crime. Independent voters don’t want a continuation of the utter chaos we have all endured for the last nearly four years.

That’s true but likewise, we don’t have short memories and we don’t want a repeat of trumps buffoonery from last time he was in office. Short answer is neither trump nor biden are acceptable so I guess we’ll just see what shakes out – hopefully a mini primary.

AOC says that the Democrats “aren’t really trying” to put a good face on this election. They already know its lost.
No wonder. The Dems have been trying and trying and trying to impose their summer dreams on America for six decades now, ever since LBJ took over for the assassinated Kennedy, and where has it gotten them: war, crime, poverty, jealousy, anger, smoke, stink and wallow When you look at the ’60s and at the way it is now, all you can think of is Paul Simon’s melancholy melody, “Bookends.” Remember that line of his: “Preserve old memories, they’re all that’s left you.” How eerily it tolls over the graveyard of the Democratic Party.

We had an active Civil Rights campaign under Kennedy. My parents were part of it–active in the Civil Rights movement and staunch supporters of JFK, MLK, and RFK, and devastated when each was murdered. They also knew LBJ was a racist opportunist who self admitted he allowed the Civil Rights movement to suffer more harms so he could leverage that to enact his own spending plans to establish the democrat plantation (there are tapes, you know), also very cynical, and brought us the Vietnam War escalation (which Kennedy was trying to squash) and misery and division, which killed an entire generation of young black men who had no choice, and the country turned its backs on vets, including my dad. People sure do have a selective memory. Different people had different experiences. We need to be able to have honest discussions and disagreements without hurling labels and atom bombs at each other. I am so sick of it. It’s not fair and it’s not honest. I do not want to live in a country with single party rule or a single narrative consensus.

“During his first 20 years in Congress,” Obama said, “he opposed every civil rights bill that came up for a vote, once calling the push for federal legislation a farce and a shame.” —Politifact rating: True. Lots of books written, try the one by Caro. Or Doris Kearns Goodwin. Or articles by Smithsonian magazine, the University of Virginia Miller Center, Politifact, MSNBC, Snopes, Salon, The Atlantic, such a long list. Or the CNN 4-part series on the recorded tapes. History is a complicated mess.. Doesn’t make sense to make it out to be an all or nothing thing and attack people was my point.

Interesting comment. How quickly did Ka Mana drop out of the Demo Presidential nomination process in 2020? Yet here she is as a DEI hire, wildly unpopular and you will have to go with her if Nancy and her insurrectionists can remove King Joe. By the way if DeSantis could run for a third term in Florida, he would win easily. Karma at its finest

“We are built for the close election that we are in, and we see the path forward,” the veteran operative said on Morning Joe.
Ballotpedia and Politifact both outline the fact that voter ID is not really required in 36 states. I urge people to do their own research. Even the state of Florida is listed as “lax” because photo ID is not required. In the legal statute it says you can use your EBT card or debit card, community association card, retirement home ID, medicaid card, the list goes on. Many states don’t require any form and only use “signature matching” or nothing at all. I did this research for myself because I thought it was just a crazy talking point and was shocked. So the argument that people are too stupid and incapable of having an ID and it somehow violates their rights is just a lie. How about some common sense. The last election I was mailed 3 different mail in ballots with different iterations of my name–from married name to maiden name. I have been registered D my entire life and always voted in person. I had even called to say I didn’t want one, take me off their list. So they sent 3. This makes me mad. When I went to vote last time in person, they had their paper lists and I asked, how can you tell if I’ve already voted absentee or not? She said, oh we don’t check for that. We just look for your name and cross you off the list. I’m sure this comment will be censored. To me this is not a partisan issue, it’s an issue where I want people to have faith in election results and faith in their government for carrying them out. It is essential. You can’t force that on people by threatening them. You have to fix the perception problem. Until we are willing to do that as a country, uniformly, this issue will continue to benefit both partisan sides in disingenuous ways and the citizens are the ones who lose.

The GOP Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland in Duval DOES require photo ID.
MH/Duuuval
July 19, 2024 at 11:18 pm
Florida ID Requirements for Voting In Person
Florida requests photo ID to vote in person. Vote and sign a provisional ballot if you don’t have an accepted ID. You ballot will count after the state verifies your eligibility and signature.
Accepted Photo IDs
Your photo ID must have your signature on it. If it doesn’t have your signature, bring an extra ID that does. This extra ID does not need a photo.
You can show one of these photo IDs:
Must be unexpired
Florida driver’s license
Florida state ID card
US passport
Military identification
Student ID
Public assistance ID
Veterans Health ID card issued by US Department of Veterans Affairs
Retirement center ID
Neighborhood association ID
Debit or credit card
Florida concealed weapon license
Employee ID issued by US, Florida, or local government

Dems have conceded this race on purpose. They will stick Trump with the steaming pile of donkey poo they created out of the last 4 years, and let’s be honest, how much will he be able to do with that?? So then he’s toast, and they can run Clooney in 2028 and they can’t lose. The money and influence (and congressional seats) they will raise during a Trump presidency will far exceed what they raised during 2016-2020. Any monies they hold now will carry over as long as the ticket stays the same. That’s why they are loathe to switch. It’s just not even about winning anymore. It’s in the bag.
Javier
July 19, 2024 at 5:31 pm
I will add a cynical observation that news media outlets want a Trump presidency despite hating him because it drives up ratings. Ratings have tanked under Biden. It is a business, you know. Despite all the virtue signalling, it’s a lot more lucrative and fun targeting and lampooning Trump than running cover for Biden. That’s why their CEOs are quietly supporting it while appearing to target Trump and call him hitler and all the rest. It will be a feeding frenzy if he manages to win. If Biden wins, the networks lose money.

Relax. Trump has said that he alone can fix it. He will end the war in Ukraine before he takes office. He will solve inflation, and best of all the extremely wealthy folks will get a huge tax cut.
He is a stable genius, and just ignore the fact that many high profile members of his cabinet (sec. of state, sec council, atty general, chief of staff) the ones who didnt get arrested anyway, have let us know what a moron he is. Bill Barr candidly referred to his election claims as pure bullshit. But they are just angry, he really will fix everything.

Rona’s tripe is par for the course. He’s supporting a sociopath, pathological liar, rapist, fraud, felon, multi-bankruptcy tax cheat who can’t even control his bowel movements. Oh yeah, the one who continues to lie about having lost the last election and who conspired to prevent the peaceful transition of power. And Rona has the nerve to question President Biden’s fitness to serve as President? I would prefer a younger candidate for both major parties for sure. However, Rona is seriously delusional about Tramp’s fitness to be President. As for the mosquito board comment, since Biden has not written Rona or his PAC (s) a big check, of course Rona would not appoint him. Duh. Rona should go put on his cute white boots and start sandbagging the coast of Florida because the cyclones are coming!
