  He tried to violently overthrow the government and they’re just gonna let him run again. 
  Let’s just normalize that then.
context: "Ron 'Stupid Doodoo Head' DeSantis," and the Republican voters go, "Well we can't vote for a Doodoo Head" and that's that. >
  
  Saddest part is this is spot on. >
  
  The saddest part is that it worked and got him elected- and is now a model some in the fascist conservative line are following.
  What scumbags do for money, and no law can stop them. >
  
  Exactly. Trump created the mold, but Republicans will move on to someone just as shitty as long as they are "winning". Trump knows he is in trouble since he lost that edge. He still has a chance for the moment, but he's never really been a winner.
  Personally I want him to stay in the game as long as possible. There is more chance of infighting if he still has a sizable base that thinks he can win in 2024. >
  
  I actually enjoyed the 15 rounds of voting McCarthy took to get himself elected speaker. Or specifically, I enjoyed the Republican infighting. >
  
  I didn't.  Because now, you have fucksticks like MTG, Boebert, Gaetz, and others that are literally where the power lies in the Republican party.  People who can't be trusted around minors, kitchens, or searching on the internet themselves are now the ones who are the power base for the GOP. >

  True. For short time it was fun, for the long run its much harder to get rid of all these assholes now. >
  
  Nope just two year to start, or less than a box of ammo(sarcasm for those upset) >
  
  Genuinely easy to forget that Trump is already a Presidential candidate. >
  
  I love the fact that the response to his announcing his 2024 run was a collective yawn. I can imagine his tiny little fists clenched in anger. >
  
  And his fast food thrown at the wall >
  
  Hamberders you say? >
  
  He only orders sliders to make his hands seem bigger >
  
  Ineptly and then blame someone else. >
  
  "Poorly"
  Seriously, though, the most charitable reading of the statement is that he has no idea how he will handle that at the time but started the sentence before he knew how it would end. >
  
  What do you mean he doesn't know?
  Can't you remember how often he said he is an expert in every field imaginable? >
  
  His uncle! Very smart man. Some say the most geniusest man ever. No one has ever seen anyone smarter before. Told him he was right up there with Einstein. >
  
  Read that as Epstein, and it somehow still made sense >
  
  I remember the stories about his beauty pageants.

  Miss Teen USA contestants too. Most of them were probably underage at the time. >
  
  Trump today on Desantis: “I got him elected, pure and simple. And there was no reason to go wild about endorsing him .. So, now I hear he might want to run against me. So, we’ll handle that the way I handle things.” >
  
  By losing >
  
  “Get in, Loser, we’re going losing” >
  
  Trump will handle it by lying, cheating and stealing. But hopefully by the time the campaigns go into full swing Trump will be indicted on at least one off the many crimes he has committed before, during and after he was president . >
  
  Gonna be honest, as a Floridian I hope the charges are held back just long enough to split the MAGA and DeSantis votes hard enough to sabotage the Republicans. Trump 100% will not sit out this election even if he fails to secure the nomination, and DeSantis is too high of a risk to go unchecked. Trump running 3rd party, at almost any level of support from his diehards, will deny DeSantis the presidency entirely.
  This has the added benefit of getting DeSantis out of office 2 years early. >

  He doesn't have to give up the governorship to run; only if he wins.
  And last time I looked, he was trying to get a law passed so that he can be governor and president at the same time, so maybe not even then. >
  
  actually?? do you have a source for this? that is extremely troubling if true >
  
  Looking into this, it looks like it's a little weirder, less severe, and somehow even more partisan than the earlier headlines I had read.
  Florida has a law that says if you run for office while holding office, you have to resign from your current office at the start of that new term, even if you don't win.  That way, the appropriate changeovers and such can be put into place.  It's had this law for a long time.
  Except, back in 2008, they abolished that law so that (then Republican governor) Charlie Christ could run for vice president without giving up the governorship.
  Then after the race, the (GOP) Florida legislature re-enacted that law.
  Now that, once again, they have another Republican going for high office, they want to revoke that law again.  No doubt temporarily.  Because rules for thee, not for me.
  Sorry for the confusion; that's on me for having only read the initial headlines and not followed up until now. >
  
  got it. what's even the point of the law then if they temporarily remove it in situations where it applies? might as well permanently abolish it without putting on the appearance >

  The Florida legislature is now one of the most badly gerrymandered in the nation.  The governor's election prior to this one was decided by less than half a percent, but the gerrymandering means that the GOP control of the legislature is secure even if they lose the governorship.
  By leaving it a law, but overriding it each time, they can make it a law that prevents potential democratic governors from running, but which represents no impediment to GOP governors. >
  
  thanks for the explanation. love that. >
  
  Go broke, fail, and then spend years throwing temper tantrums about how it wasn’t his fault? >

  So basically someone around him will be indicted and go to jail. Or another 12 investigations and a big waste of resources because he handles things like a criminal of which he is.
