The fix is quite simple really. The GOP controls the HoR and the house has unilateral Financial Appropriations power. With a stroke of the pen the house can completely cut off the funding for the FBI and doj and effectively shut the doors. Until they do that, they're not serious
I want to be clear: though I personally despise Trump and think he should never be president again, I do not want him to be prosecuted for crimes he did not commit. Every American should feel this way about any other american, politics notwithstanding. If they can do it to him..
Really? He had power for 4 years and he didn't build a wall, did not secure the border, did not do Mass deportations, and actually deported fewer people than Obama did. Is that walking the walk? TrumpWorld continues to be impressed by messaging, but they don't care about results
I couldn't agree more. If you're actually a true conservative, DeSantis is everything you've ever dreamed of. Why in the world would you pass up this generational Statesman for a carnival barker?
It was a great evening in Iowa. This discussion was everything I hoped it would be. Rep Massie and Governor DeSantis are so far and away above anyone in any other campaign, there is no excuse for backing any of the other candidates.
@johnburk39
Why do the Maga clown cultists always blame desantis? First they say he's a terrible, horrible, no good governor, then they go crying to him for help every time Trump fails wanting him to bail out Trump
@ChristinaPushaw
Julie Kelly is a journalist. She is far from an authority on constitutional law. DeSantis is a constitutional attorney and in far better position to know who does or does not have authority to Pardon Federal crimes. It is certainly a president, and certainly not a governor

Why are people such cowards, to let everyone else decide for them what they can and can't say publicly? I just don't understand this fear hold that so many people subject themselves to
@AGHamilton29
Trump has always been a political chameleon. that's how he could go from a lifelong Democrat to a sometime Republican comma to a hybrid Democrat Republican mix now. he has no fundamental set of core principles by which he operates except his own advancement
@happycrazytown
@BrandonStraka
It's actually not a crime to stand on public property and take video. It is very much an American constitutional right to do so.
He didn't close the border, did not build the wall, and did not do Mass deportations when he was president. But now that he wants something from you again, he's serving a meal to border patrol agents. Bravo, Bravo

Can somebody please explain to me why any conservative would vote for Nikki haley? Give me a policy-based reason from her record why you, as a conservative, believe she's the best choice
@julie_kelly2
@ChristinaPushaw
Trump humps stormy Daniels, you lie about DeSantis' lack of authority to help the j6ers Trump freaking abandoned, while letting DT completely walk for his role, cover for his duplicity, but Christina uses the wrong attorney, so she's the problem here. Got it.
@PowerOwn45
@_Sweet_Lew
I would add that he is STILL partnered with the Left today in their messaging psyops against DeSantis in favor of Trump. The question is if the GOP base who was so misled and deceived by Trump will make him pay, or whimper and come back for more abuse.
I think I'm beginning to pick up on a trend of Maga attacking Ronald Reagan. Anyone else noticing this? Nothing they do is unscripted or organic so there's a purpose from the people who tell them what to think
@ChristinaPushaw
@SwissWatchGuy
I think that Rush Limbaugh would love governor desantis. He does all the things that Rush used to complain that the GOP just never had the guts to do, and this is one of those things: to force an issue (rather than run from it) to seek a good outcome
DeSantis' leadership goes far beyond just the state of florida. We have him to thank for ending Trump's covid tyranny, this, and a host of other things he's done that have far-reaching positive ramifications for freedom, justice, and decency

Not a good look to protest so hard, dan. She didn't say anything that I took is any kind of a specific accusation at any one particular person. Your violent response makes me think she might have been right

@FairDealDave
Josh, this is an amazingly comprehensive list. Thank you for establishing Trump's lifelong pattern of crying wolf for everyone to see for the next time he does it again
@JeremyRedfernFL
Everyday, all the right people continue to hate Governor DeSantis, joining His Marvelous governing record to tell me I've been right about him the whole time and that he needs to be our next president
Trump literally sent Mike Pence to Capitol Hill to whip votes for Paul Ryan for speaker when the GOP caucus was hesitant to make him speaker. You have a right to your own opinion, but you don't get to create the facts. The truth is what it is.
#Desantis2024
@GrageDustin
You have got to be freaking kidding me. After he just chickened out from debating DeSantis and the other candidates. But see, this is classic Trump. Say one thing one day and another day the next because he knows his sycophants in conservative media will never call him on it
@TimRunsHisMouth
@NBCNews
No, it's run by Saul Alinsky Marxist radicals who understand the whole concept of blaming your sins on others to make it becoming narrative.
Masters now gets to learn the hard way what happens when you kiss Trump's ring. He never returns the Loyalty that he demands from his slobbering sycophants
@RMillennielle
@GavinWax
The DeSantis campaign keeps it to issues. I have yet to see any of them and make a personally negative comment about anyone at all. They do lots of sparring and sniping, but it is all at the records of those in question, not their persons

@LibbeyDean_
@RonDeSantis
@NewsNation
You see, you don't have to be afraid to take questions from the public when you can simply tell the truth and please people. Trump, haley, biden, et al have to lie everywhere they go. This is the benefit of having a record that people like instead of one they despise
@SteveDeaceShow
No, Robinson is a fake and a phony. I have a conservative political consultant friend who lives in North Carolina and he will tell you about Mark robinson. He's just another bad Dei pic by Trump. He will be another Tim scott. Decent guy, nice, but no conservative champion
Won't happen. Trump is orders of magnitude less intelligent, informed and articulate than DeSantis. He can't afford a butt kicking like Newsome took last night. RDS would utterly destroy him and prove he's just a man. And a stupid one at that.
@FlaDogLover
I completely agree with your overall premise that RDS will do what he believes is right no matter what. But I dont agree that this bill cost him any votes. All the GOP Govs who signed similar bills won their re-elections handily. It's dem/ media spin that the life issue hurts us
On May 4th, I wrote a letter of endorsement of Ron DeSantis for President.
At that time, he had not yet announced whether he would seek the office.
If he had instead decided not to run, I would still be casting my vote for him by writing his name on the ballot January 23rd.
Agreed. They always have. They started it with Heidi Cruz, treating her worse than they treated Hillary Clinton. It is a personality cult with a crash bully at the top and all the worshipers try to take on all of his personality traits, including being crass bullies
If you’re pissed off that DeSantis is exercising the power of his office to practice fiscal conservatism and not burden Floridia taxpayers with a billionaire’s legal fees, never again call yourself a conservative.
Stopping the invasion at our border is a matter of will. It doesn’t require a so-called deal that codifies into law illegal entries in excess of 1.8 million per year and provides incentives for future illegal immigration.
@emeriticus
I have known Ken for many years all the way back to the time he was a state senator here in Virginia and he is a very good, honest, and conservative leader. He doesn't just shoot off at the mouth or from the hip. For him to speak like this, he's truly irritated by DT's Behavior
@PolitiBunny
His disability? If he was able enough to be in school, to learn subjects, and to get pissed off cuz someone took his video game, then he is able enough to be disciplined. Maybe if Mom would kick his butt now and again other people wouldn't need to
Trump has never called for a primary challenge to Lindsey Graham, Kevin McCarthy, Mitt Romney, John Thune or any other leading Republican establishment sellout. He does call from them against Ted cruz, chip Roy, Thomas Massie, etc. Need I say more?
Is anything more Trumpian than threatening one of the only truly honest members of Congress because he doesn’t kneel before Zod, but also stupidly doing so more than a week after the filing deadline? Trumpian bluster followed by a Trumpian lack of attention to detail.
Another big difference between DeSantis and trump. Trump nominated department heads that he thought could pass the senate. DeSantis nominated department heads who shared his philosophy and found ways to get them past the Senate. Huge difference
I understand the question is likely rhetorical but it's honest answer is that the NAACP couldn't possibly care any less about minorities, businesses, or otherwise. They care about electing Democrats and unelecting republicans. That is their foremost and only concern.
The Florida Legislative Session ends tomorrow. It will go down in the history books as one of the greatest conservative law making periods ever. Governor DeSantis, having emerged as the nation’s leader in common sense during Covid, now has solidified his record as the leader of
@JillSAnthony
@AuthorHard
She's working with the Beltway Club of both major parties and the media to prevent RDS from implementing real conservative change in DC the way he has in Tallahassee. That's the dirty little secret here. She's this cycle's Marco Rubio..trying to hand DT the nom to stop RDS.
In a world where so often people's fantasies are treated as Reality by them, it is nice to see a governor who lives in reality and makes things happen, rather than just running his mouth on social media for his Fantasyland followers to promote as if he actually did something
@GovRonDeSantis
pushes, passes and signs laws on Parental Rights, ESG, Trans, Grooming, Child mutilation, illegal immigration, etc.

"Trump made a comment about that and posted on social media."
@RonDeSantisFL
acts.
@realDonaldTrump
rants.
They are not the same.
Ron DeSantis: “We’ve got an out-of-control bureaucracy… We saw it during COVID…people like Fauci, CDC, NIH, all these agencies did immense damage… So I’m going to usher in a reckoning…because we can never let this happen to our country ever again.”
If you think Trump’s CARES Act was a necessary and compassionate response to COVID, you’re not going to be able to vote your way out of this mess.
It was the “bill of sale” for the whole scam that followed. That might have been hard to see at the time, but it’s obvious now.
@GardensR4Health
@Grossman4NJ
The Republican party has ceased to become a political party and has become a cult built around Trump's personality and personal desires. The few of us who are willing to be honest about it are ostracized and marginalized, and that's okay. We are still right
@ChristinaPushaw
I suspect even if she was an attorney, she would be saying the exact same thing. Her whole interest is to deflect from Trump's failures by deceitfully trying to project them onto the governor. That wouldn't change based on what her degree happens to be, I fear
@JoshPower80
@JackSweeney7590
Who else had JFK Jr being far more conservative than Donald Trump in their 2023 bingo card? At least on this issue RFK is very good where Trump was absolutely horrible.
#Desantis2024
And unlike DeSantis, Reeves allowed the Democratic cities to run roughshod over him and did nothing to rain in their authoritarianism and subsequent tyranny. Reeves is DeSantis like Bill Clinton is Ronald Reagan

Trump has never opposed the Deep state. When he signed the cares act, that was full of authorizations for new power for the Deep state to create male and balloting procedures that were previously illegal and that led directly to Trump's own defeat
@DustBaker
What a Pity we had them for a whole game and a half before losing Kirk Cousins for the season. Seems like such a sorry waste. It really felt like we had something special going on offense the last few weeks
Correct. It is the perfect illustration of the GOP death wish: nobody has any prayer against Trump in the primaries, and Trump has no prayer in the general election. It's a catch-22 from which the GOP won't survive. Assuming polling is accurate and respondents don't about face.
Hidden in Trump’s South Carolina win: A not-so-small problem for him in November…
With about three-quarters of the expected vote in, some 40 percent of voters rejected Trump. 20% of SC GOP primary voters said they would never vote Trump.
@just_mindy
Shocks me. There is no legitimate reason for him to do this. He's in an incredibly safe seat that he couldn't lose if he wanted to even if Trump started attacking him. This really diminishes the great respect I had for Mike Lee and I'm truly shocked by it
While the rest of the GOP Dithers and tweets about how bad Democrats are, DeSantis actually legislatively constrained the inordinate Democrat passion for sexually preying upon children
With my signature, Florida permanently prohibits genital mutilating surgical procedures and experimental puberty blockers for minors.
Minors given these procedures without their consent will now be able to recover damages for permanent injury or death caused by these medical
@JoshPower80
Unethical unprincipled and cowardly. That has been the Hallmark of the GOP for 40 years now. Trump is just the latest object of their unprincipal, unethical, and cowardly fascination. Rush Limbaugh used to say the GOP was comfortable losing and likes it that way. He was right
@mitchellvii
They better lay off, because if Trump does not win the nomination, he needs DeSantis in the White House desperately. Because he's probably going to need some presidential pardons. It would behoove him not to keep Burning Bridges like this
I have to agree with this. Trump's Behavior toward desantis, combined with his final year in office of previously unthought of authoritarianism has made me realize we cannot take the risk of him again. He makes enemies of the wrong people
We tried to tell y'all, GOP voter base, and y'all wouldn't listen. You fell for the Democrat media complex psyop pretending Trump was popular to get you to nominate him. You fell for it, and we will all have to live with the consequences of your foolishness
POLL: A conviction in former President Trump’s federal trial concerning efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election would hurt him more than being found guilty in his other cases.
@conservmillen
That's what they don't say, but what they mean, that really bothers me. They're basically saying that Jesus understands us just as we are and doesn't expect us to repent because He "gets" our sin. It's an attack on the word of God and His holiness.
Folks... we had best wake up to the Marxist Onslaught against our children and do everything it takes to defend them from it. Please, I beg you, pay attention to what they are reading, hearing, and being taught at school and take evasive action as needed. Trust no one.
@ChristinaPushaw
Yes, I agree. I did not mean to infer that she had done something illegal, only that she used her previous political position to parley into an extremely nice income. It's no wonder so many folks who don't believe anything want to hold elective office

@mitchellvii
If you were the Democrats and you could recruit Trump for a stealth operation to destroy the GOP permanently, would you do anything different than Trump has done for the last 4 years? It's absolutely perfect if you're a Democrat
@LaCivitaC
DeSantis is exactly right, you know it, and that's why you're angry that he pointed it out. Tim Scott or Nikki Haley would be nothing but a DEI hire for you. that's the only reason you're considering them. We'll see who is sad after your fat authoritarian cult leader loses again

@proseccogirly
What a shame that competent, intelligent, informed, and principled Leadership seems to be the last thing either party is concerned about anymore
@KurtSchlichter
Under McCarthy the house was passing package after package of democrat priorities. Moving more and more to the left. Now, the house isn't doing anything. Just that is a big win. Conservatives need to stop wishing business as usual was continuing in Washington
@mitchellvii
And we are now seeing Trump World defending Disney against desantis. Starting with the empty suit Nikki haley. It is absolutely amazing how Trump world has nothing that they believe fundamentally and no core values that are not for sale
@KristiNoem
I really liked her until I found out she tried to lock the state down and got overridden by her legislature. Now she's pretending that never happened and lying about Governor DeSantis, who freed all of us from the iron grip of Trump's tyranny
Great point. I would add that what David says gives evidence to the fact that it has become to some degree a cult of personality. Where the end all be all, the beginning and the end, is Trump himself, not a set of core principles and beliefs
Trump has broken the brains of many on the Right, because now millions of people only understand “the establishment” as NOT Trump—even when Trump is the establishment candidate in every way that matters.
@AGHamilton29
You might get the Trump that gave you Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court or you might get the Trump who praises Gavin Newsom and Charlie Crist. You might get the Trump who moves the US Embassy to Jerusalem or you might get the Trump who says transgender bathrooms are okay

Seriously? McCarthy sold conservatives out on every promise he made back in january, passed a Democrat agenda with record spending, yet you think that's better than not having a speaker of the house. Business as usual in DC is okay with you

Never forget what the Trump/Fauci/Biden regimes did to us in the name of "public health". If we reward them for their authoritarianism they will just do it again. Never forget DeSantis is the one who stopped it all. Vote accordingly. There MUST be a reckoning if we are to be free
