    I’m a Florida resident. Ron DeSantis sucks. Let me preface it. However, about 1-2x a year he does something that actually doesn’t suck.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if DeSantis is actually afraid Tate could take his job

        Well he is term limited as governor, Tate is perfectly aligned with republican values (raped countless women) and he’s famous.

        You might be on to something!

      The bar was raised while Tate was in Romania. He’s gonna have to step it up to fit in now. A couple of swastika neck tattoos ought to do it.

      You may be on to something. maybe there’s a branigan’s law about rapists and pedophiles in Florida. Once you hit a certain limit the state just stops accepting new ones.

      Trump must be back at Mar-A-Lago rn

        Trump’s quotes are indistinguishable from Brannigan’s. There’s even gameified versions of this online

    Trump will probably give them cabinets posts, they seem suitably qualified to join his inner circle.

      Likely he will get some labor rights related stuff, then will help in gutting worker’s protections in the name of “Hustle culture”, after that he will take the blame for the fallout and land into some another position.

      We are establishing a department of rape and scams, and these guys know all about it. Look at them now. With a tear in their eyes, the Tate brothers said Mr. Trump we’d be honored to head the department of rape and scams, and we’ll be sending you some bitches as soon as possible.

    …Trump-hating [Ron DeSantis] has disgraced himself by stating that [Andrew Tate] and [Tristan Tate] are not welcome in Florida!"

    Did I miss something? Since when do DeSantis and Trump not align on their shit values?

    But also, I mean, it doesn’t have to be said, but fuck all of them with a chainsaw.

    What a weird conflict. I don’t know who I want to win. Is it possible for them both to lose somehow? Like some kind of -1 sum game?

    Nice to know that piece of shit has a line in the sand somewhere. ‘convicted rapists and human traffickers’ is a horrible line to have to get to but at least it’s there? Still though, fuck DeSantis.

    Desantis is clearly worried that Andrew Tate will push him out of the running for “biggest piece of shit in the United States”… These guys take that award very seriously

    I have no idea who Andrew Tate is. So I looked him up on Wikipedia, and he seems like the kind of awful person who would be a darling of the MAGAsphere.

    Could someone explain to me why DeSantis doesn’t want him then?

      Desantis has make a huge show of “stopping human traffickers” and there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy. He can pass this off as a “White House thing” and try to keep his position.

        Being called out on hypocrisy has never stopped a conservative before. Hell, it’s practically required.

          This is the most confusing part of the situation.

          DeSatan is no voice of reason, so it’s a play for personal protection or gain… somehow. What do they know about Tate that’s so much worse than the average MAGA?

        So then why was he fine working and knowing Matt Gaetz committed statutory rape and paid for those women to cross state lines. He should have been actively campaigning for him not to be a Florida Congress member.

          Because caring about a thing and making a show of caring about the thing are two completely different things.

          Technically, even though it was child rape, the child was post-pubescent and willing. DeSantis and Gaetz apparently only care about trafficking when it involves shipping brown people into the country as slaves (supposedly).

          Just one more time for the record, Trump’s first choice as a cabinet pick Matt Gaetz Raped a Child.

            They never brought charges, just stopped the investigation. My guess was the play is simple there, if he didn’t do exactly what Trump wanted, the DOJ could bring charges and put him in prison for years and end his career. Thankfully some people saw through it, yet not enough to pressure for the charges to be taken up and followed through on.

      …ignorance truely is bliss. I wish I never heard of andrew tate. Oh man, the amount of appauling, cringe inducing things you get to hear from him for the first time???

      You know how when you meet someone who’s never seen your favorite movie that you’ve watched 800+ times, and you’re jealous they get to see it for the first time?

      Yeah, I feel the opposite of that today for you. Like I’m genuinely worried about your mental health if everyone starts sending you videos and quotes of his all at once. I imagine that may cause a mental breakdown.

      My guess is that it’s some kind of political turf war between him and Trump. DeSantis wants to be President, after all.
