The Sunshine State governor made a similar comment recently when he warned that Maine’s ruling disqualifying Trump ‘opens up Pandora’s box’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has revealed that he’s “looking” into ways to block President Joe Biden from the 2024 primary ballot in Florida.

“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,” the GOP presidential candidate warned Friday alongside Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, according to a video posted by CNN. “You could make a case — I’m actually looking at this in Florida now [if we] could we make a credible case” to block Biden from the ballot “because of the invasion of 8 million.”

Europeans and generally the entire world is looking at the us and rolling their eyes.

We’d be pointing and laughing at you for how petty and pathetic your politicians are, if it wasn’t for the fact that the US is still the biggest player, and you know, if these evil sad sacks win, it will be a christo racist state with nukes and an end of the world fantasy…

So seriously, can democrat voters finally do what they always fail to do, and just FUCKING VOTE ALREADY. and yes vote Biden. Yes, Biden sucks, big time, might be the worst democrat president in ages, but he’s NOT TRUMP.

The logic, or lack there of, is astounding in these people.

“Looking for an excuse” is not the same as “Acknowledging undisputed facts.”

Nobody on the right is even pretending Trump didn’t try to prevent Congress from certifying the election by sending illegitimate electors and sending a mob to storm the the Capitol.

If Biden had engaged in insurrection, I’d want him out. If there was proof of an impeachable offense, I’d support that as well.

That’s the thing. Most people on the left are arguing in good faith. It’s just that it’s the GOP committing the crimes right now.

Colorado Judge ruled Trump committed insurrection. That’s as much due process as is needed. He’s been found guilty.

Obama isn’t eligible to run for President because he already served 2 terms. It doesn’t need to go to court - he’s automatically disqualified. Same thing applies to insurrection, which is why convictions were not required after the Civil War to bar Confederates from holding office.

Yeah, so two states drop trump for actual credible reasons, wtih which you can agree or disagree, but you can’t deny that they’re at least credible.

Now Florida (and which other state again?) are doing this for the same reason as a tantrum throwing child “wants the same toy as that other kid”.
