DeSantis would be stupid to acquiesce.

So, you are counting on DeSantis to not do something that would be stupid?

Really. That's what you're going with?

Talk about stupid!

Not totally corrupt AT ALL>
Yet the media barely registers anything, because everything about Trump is completely corrupt. It's like shouting in a rock concert.

DeSantis would be stupid to acquiesce.

She's got it in the bag then. I read she has already left her position in the GOP to get ready.

DeSantis is an obsequious, heel licking, toady.

He will do exactly what Trump tells him to do.

At least he doesn't have an ugly wife, like Ted Cruz.

The folks who screamed bloody murder about nepotism when Biden pardoned his son are strangely quiet about this.

Trump is trying to earn a political appointment for a family member from Desantis and just so happens Desantis name has recently been floated for SecDef.
I'm sure MAGATS see no issue here.

Caudilloing is what caudillos do do do.

It never fails to amaze me how far the corruption goes.

There is a solid reason why nepotism is frowned upon and is illegal in some situations. That person would be in personal thrall to the President, not the people in the state or district.
But it is pure gangster, and I don't mean that as a compliment.

Nothing to see here. Lara, along with Trump's other picks are just more of the same: DEI candidates: Didn't Earn It.

Can you imagine the apoplectic howling from the right wing moonbats if Biden did this?

#16 | Posted by Nixon at 2024-12-11 08:47 AM

If he's going to get a family member appointed what about his own useless offspring?
