Everyone was chomping at the bit to go after DeSantis after every hurricane. Problem is, he and his team are really good at disaster management. So, kinda makes that difficult.

Most likely: the bluster will fade away and no tariffs will be added, while his cult will think it actually happened and tell each other how great Trump is.

how can you write the obvious crap you write and not break out laughing?

Just at Florida for a convention. Most of the people who did volunteer to talk to me about the governor don't like him and hope for something different. I hope, too. Especially negative were their comments at the way higher education in Florida is being over-managed. Florida deserves better, but the people have to come to their senses. I shake my head at Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis being elected over and over.

Certainly not a banana republic.

I have asserted for the last year or two we are now a larger version of Hungary: a corrupted Oligarchy where the courts are handpicked, and the judicial system is stacked with loyalists to enact one party's agenda. Trump skirting justice on very open-and-shut cases is a perfect example.

Certainly a counter-argument could be made to the SCOTUS of the 1970s, but their agendas where for the good of the many, not the greed of the few or the backwards-looking social vision of bribe-taking SCOTUS judges.

#1 tip:
hope that long-overdue MI or his next stroke does the job.

Wow, that guy is as loony as Laura Looner, er...Loomer. And Trump.
Wow.
Total gibberish.
I'm glad FT printed it though; this shows the world that Thiel is no genius at all.

"We just want a change, a change in the weather," a retired aluminium (sic) worker wanting to go just by his first name,

And he's going to get a change, for the far far worse.
Words matter. Even if Trump does nothing but bluster, decline further into senility (very likely--see Biden 2021-2024) and play golf every (extremely likely), he will again create a climate of hgatred and neighbor against neighbor, just as he did before. He will also show the world that America cannot be trusted to help his allies.

*coughing* TexasAndFlorida *cough*

What a shame that we have elected a complete moral and ethical failure of a man...again.

The next four years will be a chaotic mess of non-governance, but there will be plenty of threats and tantrums. Oh yes, and the constant fawning from the incompetent Cabinet.

History will show this was the tangible failure point of the Republic.

No jail time; not even a fine!
America has failed. The rich can delay their justice by endless motions while running for political office.

Stop the presses!
THAT s the kind of leadership America voted for!

WOW.
SCOTUS is completely adrift.
We have failed as a country, merely a larger version of Hungary now, but without the paprika and cultural history.

^FACTS

why, where are hte usual Trump party apologists/Deflectors NOW??

look carefully at the ethnicity breakdown for Dems and Trumpers and tell me agin how the Trump Party isn't a completely gerrymandered party to benefit whites.

Out of wine, there's truth,
and in truth, the vision clears,
and when the vision clears
you see a Grand Design.

When you see a Grand Design,
you can understand the world;
and when you understand the world,
you need a lot more wine!

Yee-HAW! That's mah state! #1 in sumpin' at least!

Hypocrisy: thy name has always, ALWAYS been GOP/Trump

That's our fool governor of Abbottistan.
