He better get preparing for the next massive earthquake and massive truly massive hurricane later this year. Watch this space.
This guys life must absolutely suck. >

Unfortunately probably not, as soon as Desantis (and others like him) go into this hateful rhetoric method they find out that their checks grow zeros. So no, he is probably banking well on this hate train. >

Rich people are miserable too. No amount of zeros fills the hole and there is ultimately no game to win.
Edit/relevant: It all goes back in the box >

The key difference is that, while your life may suck either way, it's much easier to address your issues if you've got the time/money to do so. >

Wasn't DeathSantis last migrant stunt already under federal investigation? >

Special session started today to change things up -
The migrant bill filed by GOP legislators would immediately wipe out the budget language that authorized the program — and which has been a focus of a lawsuit by Democratic state Sen. Jason Pizzo. It would also shift the remaining money to a different agency and make it clear in the future that migrants could be transported from anywhere in the U.S., not just Florida. >

So the citizens of Florida are willing to spend $12,000,000 to send someone from Nevada to another state? Thank goodness all of Florida's problems are solved. >

Yes.
There is no joke or snappy comeback.
The cruelty is worth it to them. >

Floridian here, fuck you guys. I didn't vote for this piece of shit and I'm certainly not ok with it. >

Excellent bro, now talk some sense into some other Floridians lol things are getting a bit German where you are and remember what happened September 1st 1939. >

Germany invaded Poland...
We going after Alabama and no one told me? >

If anyone is interested in studying how fascism takes over a country and how dictators come to power, just focus on what's happening in Florida with Desantis. You can watch it happening in real time. >

The fact that a state is openly participating in, and actively encouraging other states to participate in human trafficking shows that the Holocaust 2.0 is not impossible by any fucking means. Once a group of humans are reduced to cargo it becomes possible to do anything to them you’d like >


Once a group of humans are reduced to cargo it becomes possible to do anything to them you’d like

When Greg Abbott pulled a similar stunt by dumping a busload of migrants outside of Kamala Harris' house on christmas eve, I had the same realisation when I kept reading his supporters cheering him on. The migrants had been successfully dehumanised. They were no longer seen as people, they were simply 'illegals' who clearly 'deserved it'.
I wonder just how future historians are going to look back on the past decade, and I worry how they will look back on the next one. >

The good news is that, for the first time in recorded history, we actually have credible scientific evidence and theories to suggest that "history" is actually going to go away... because most of civilization is, followed, inevitably, by the human race. It might be a long, sad, horrible tail, but once this particular global civilization collapses, that's it. The environment will be too hostile and too depleted for us to successfully rebuild. >

The GOOD news????? >

Prosecute everyone involved (from bus driver to governor and everyone in between) for people trafficking just once and I guarantee it will stop.
Edit: And seize any vehicle involved. >

DOJ: Oh no, must not do anything rash. >

More like doj: oh this is political we can’t do anything until mainstream media and public outcry reaches an all time high. >

Time to boycott any transportation companies that participate in Florida’s human trafficking campaign >

Why don’t we just boycott Florida? >

But hey, "god made a fighter" >

Reimbursement should come out of his personal pockets and he needs to be charged with abuse of power or abuse of authority, in the form of "malfeasance in office" or "official abuse of power", done in an official capacity. >

He needs to be charged with human trafficking. >

Ron's friends & family must own the migrant transport companies. >

Apparently, because this is an "emergency", he will be awarding closed contracts to the chosen companies. >

Floridians funding his 2024 aspirations. >

And some of them think he's the second coming with the "yay Desantis" "don't New York my Florida" bullshit but they don't realize he's just going to up and leave in a few months. He doesn't give a shit about Floridians, just his presidential aspirations. >

“Don’t New York my Florida”?!?!  As someone who was born in Florida and watched EVERY SINGLE asshole republican come down here from New York and turned a swing state into a red one, uhhh..
The FUCK? >

Honestly I saw a yard sign in Lake County a couple of weeks ago... I totally agree with you though. >

"I want the taxpayers to pay for my 2024 presidential campaign stunts." >

First rule of capitalism is never spend your own money >

Hard to know the worst part about this. Most of the 12 million is for legal defense for the state of Florida. It sends the message that anything is legal if you have enough money. >

You’re just learning this now because of the migrant flights? Not from any of the multitude past examples that based upon wealthy private citizens- not government officials? 🤨 >

What an absolute piece of garbage. >

Is he throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks?  This AH has another idiotic idea every hour. >

I wonder how many could be fed, housed, and integrated as legal residents and tax payers for 12M >

Assuming an average annual salary of $50K per person, it could provide for around 240 people. >

I assume you intend to mean "give 50k dollars  to 240 immigrants " instead of investing 12m into infrastructure that could recruit future Americans into quickly adjusting to residential status amd becoming contributing taxpayers
And no 12m isn't enough, but I think it's a better start than "round up the brown people and deport them from florida" >

$12 million is definitely a good start for investing in infrastructure to help these people find a legitimate path to citizenship and it’s a much better idea than rounding people up and shipping them elsewhere, especially since DeSantis has overlooked the one fatal flaw of his plan.
It won’t work.
The majority of Florida’s border is oceanfront and not even the Coast Guard can stop all the migrants who sail across the Gulf from Mexico or up the Atlantic from Cuba or Haiti or countless other countries. He could spend $12 million to round them up today but what’s he doing with tomorrow’s batch of new immigrants?
I agree that we need to do better with immigration reform but people like DeSantis are asking all the wrong questions and trying to solve the problem with all the wrong answers. >

DeSantis is a fascist. >

Ron Defacist! >


The claim about protecting Floridians also rested on shaky ground. The flights targeted migrants who weren't even in Florida to begin with. (DeSantis claimed that "most of them [were] intending to come to Florida.")

DeSantis had trouble selling his fiction that the flights were to protect Florida from "the evil immigrants." He could stop this behavior and move on to something else. Instead, he's just going to drop all pretense of this being to help Florida in any way. >

Meanwhile, the Cubans in his state are fine. >

They’ll vote blue til they turn blue. It is what it is. >

most vote red. >

Correct, they vote republican. >

Correct… they vote red. so they won’t “vote blue til they turn blue” will they? >

Yeah, my original comment was a mistake. I thought that was clear. >

The absolute hypocrisy of this guy is that the Cuban migrants get the red carpet laid out for them. They don't get turned back.... They get released to their families and they get food stamps and check... In some cases they get housing...
This guy is that epitome of what's wrong in politics.. >

Imagine if he becomes president he will probably sign a executive order that all immigrants must be relocated to Hollywood. >

Every state that gets a bus or plane load of migrants should confiscate the bus or plane under civil forfeiture as part of potential human trafficking.  Once these companies start to lose their equipment, they may become reluctant to take jobs like this. >

Fellow Floridians, are we ready to riot yet? I’ve been down to get angry about shot for a while. What’s going to be our boiler-plate moment? >

Everyone is using Twitter and Social Media as a Pressure Release Valve. They get pissed then head to twitter, post an indignant response to a DeSantis post he'll never see, maybe post a few funny memes slamming MAGA voters, and then they're indignation and outrage is sated until the next flare up. >

This is so fucking dumb and vile. They can make sure to have money for this but not to actually help people in Florida. That’s $12M right there that could stay “in the pockets.”
This is pure fascism and it needs to be addressed. I know we are watching this as voters and agree it’s fascism. But just don’t get how the entire government just sits back to let it be a state issue when the state actively engages to being mismanaged and hurting its residents. >

People of Florida, you hired this guy and you can fire him.
People of America, I don’t like this guy’s resume so let’s keep shopping around. >

Stunts work with his voters, they don’t care about actual plans and reality and all that jazz. >

His voters want to make sure he's a vicious psychopath willing to shred desperate brown families lives apart before voting him in for president. How else will the KKK and neonazi's rise to power and make the US a Christian only nation where gays get gas chambered and women are property? >

It’d be hard without all that it’s true. >

It's starting to look more and more like governors are now kings with how the GOP dictates policy in their kingdowns. >

Can't he be busted for the last time he did this shit already?  Now he's asking to do it more? >

And to think, Floridiots voted for this chump in record numbers. They must deserve him. >

Can our governors just be governors and not god damn celebrities. >


Ron DeSantis Wants...

I want Ron to chill the fuck out and find a goddamn hobby!  Every fucking day with this annoying jerkoff!! >

DeSantis is getting increasingly more extreme. I would love to think that there aren't enough Republican extremists to support such a candidate, but they voted for Trump... most of them twice. >

He is paying fellow grifters thousands of dollars per migrant so yes it is keeping money in the pockets of Floridians. >

Reason magazine is an open-border Libertarian rag. When the supply of labor increases in an economy, what happens to wages? Also, how much money in welfare (public education) is required to deal with an influx of immigrants? If Floridians think $12M is worth it to "deport" the "asylum-seekers" to other states, then they'll keep electing DeSantis. >

You know what also happens when you restrict immigration? There are not enough people to build houses. There are a whole lot of immigrants that build houses down here. Not enough houses equals inflation because there is not  enough supply. It is truly remarkable that you do not understand this basic fact. This country does not have too many people that cannot find jobs  it has too few people to work the jobs. Have you been living under a rock the last year? There is a reason this dipshit has the highest housing inflation in the entire country. It will take some time but it will become apparent what he has done. We do not have an issue with too many workers. The issue is there are not enough workers. They just hiked energy prices by 20 percent in a god damn state that can supply their own power with solar panels. There are now huge chunks of this state where you cannot even buy homeowners insurance. You are going to start to see people leaving here over the next 10 years. It reminds of when people in this country thought George Bush was doing a good job. We saw how that ended up. Jfc. >

Wouldn't need more housing if we didn't have illegal immigrants and foreign investors & institutional SFR Investors. >

When charged for human trafficking? Garland deems him untouchable because he MIGHT run for President and he doesn’t want to look political? >

Presidential material my ass!  He’s political Barnum & Bailey. >

What the f-. Why are they kidnapping people based on their skin color and what confederate century is this. >

These stunts are working if his only goal is to suck up all the oxygen in the room. Even though this cruel stunt is really just human trafficking and deeply, deeply immoral. >

Why aren't the sanctuary states and cities not taking them? Were they really 2 face lying cowards that dont care for the migrants. This is why you see virtue signaling, be careful. >

Wow what a misinterpetation. The point is they were sent to places not where they were told or trying to get to. These arent people trying to set up shop anywhere, they have court cases and papers to file.  Desantis interfered with the process making fake pamphlets and hiring lying translators, just to inconvenience people. >

Hear me out… I think a simple solution to this… is let them all through, and give them tax ID numbers, track them, tax them, and then let them go home. >

How am I supposed to pay them under the table or even not pay them at all and threaten to call ICE on them in order to get free labor? >

IDK so I am asking, are there really a lot of migrants in FL,? >

There is a lot of Cubans and Haitians. >

Trump: [Does awful shit]
DeSantis: "Hold my beer" >

I guess DeSantis is a native born American, ie his ancestors were native to America and did not immigrate here. >

Damn. The local greyhound must be owned by his nephew >

*in the pockets of Floridians who live in red counties >

He already thinks he's the Emperor of the United States. You have no jurisdiction anywhere but Florida. >

Can’t he be charged criminally for this? >

He will concentrate these immigrants into certain locations.  Let’s call these locations concentration camps. >

Epitome of arrogance... >

He Can't Understand Normal Thinking
