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.”
But like…that’s the thing. They have to look for a credible case to remove their political opponents. In contrast, the reason to remove Trump is self-evident, even to Republicans.
Conservatives think any consequences they have is retaliation.
So they don’t see the difference in this.
It’s just the lack of empathy, if they do something illegal, they assume everyone else does it too so it’s fine. If they get in trouble, it’s obviously not fair because in their head they’re being singled out.
God can you imagine Biden saying, “it’s not persecution you dumb fuck, it’s consequences for your actions!”
Nope.
And that’s the problem. Biden would never say it because he thinks there’s still a bipartisan future.
I’d rather our Presidents weakness be “hope for a return to normalcy” than “Putin’s hot gooey load”.
Everything Republicans do is retaliation for things Trump has done to himself. There are 0 credible reasons to remove Biden from ANY state ballot, but they’ll try to find a way regardless.
Then they will be sued, and they will lose. Unlike the GOP, the Democrats have really good lawyers.
That’s because GOP lawyers are too busy advocating for the death penalty for homosexuals in Africa
What’s more, if they are going to remove Biden for failing to prevent illegal immigration (despite actually having significantly higher arrest and deportation numbers under Biden than Trump), then they should reasonable have to remove Trump as well… given, you know, the whole insurrection thing. To not do so would imply that the supposed failure of a president to sufficiently address one very complicated issue (even though he’s better than Trump on this issue by their own metrics) is worse than attempting to coerce officials into “finding” votes for him, conspiring to produce fraudulent electors, lying and defaming for months about supposed fraud that had no basis in fact, and, of course, inciting an insurrection on the capital building.
And they won’t give Biden the money to fix a border crisis because they know it will help his approval numbers leading up to the election.
More importantly, the Democrats also have better arguments and facts (at least in this case).

Yep. If there was a credible case, it would already be motoring through the court.
god this is going to be such a stupid year
No, it’s gonna be a stupid decade or even longer. And it’s already been going on for a while. Thats what you get when for years you ignore a dysfunctional education system and promote idiotism. It doesn’t vanish over night and finds its way into public discord. Then it’s years of not strong enough responses to totalitarian practices and you get another fascist italy or nazi germany.
Trump tried to overthrow the government and he is still allowed to run for president. Im just hoping the title of a history book chapter describing this will not be “causes for 3rd world war”, but I’m not optimistic.
We’re already in ww3
Nope, we’re still deep in proxy war territory. Why ruin your economy when you can turn a foreign country to rubble to project power?
Proxy Wars now, Climate Wars on deck.
I honestly expect this year’s stupidity to trump all previous ones
pun intended?
again
Good ole fascism.
This is a play to delegitimize the courts. Fascists know that Trump deserves to be knocked off the ballot and that Biden does not. They don’t care. It serves them well to have their case laughed out of court so they can campaign off removing the deep state from the courts.
Man I wish there was a way to penetrate fascist propaganda.
My grandfather says that .308 does a good job penetrating fascist propaganda.
Necked up to use 7mm works nicely.
Exactly this. They know they can’t have Biden removed, all they need to do is make the appeal. Then when they get knocked back they can whine about corruption.
“This is just going to be a tit for tat and it’s just not gonna end well,”
I still can’t get over a political leader admitting to abusing the power of his office for personal spite, and not being removed from office
Personal spite, hell try personal gain. Don’t forget this asshole is running for president. Should hit him with election tampering.
“But he started it!” /s
“Credible”… Can you define that Mr. DeSantis?
Narrator: He couldn’t.
Sounds like giving comfort to an insurrectionist. We should remove him from office.
This clown will be quickly forgotten. Deservedly so. What a colossal embarrassment.
He’s just such a little bitch, fucking lol.
Yesterday would’ve been too soon
Hey hey guys wait maybe he’s got a point…
…Let’s remove ALL of them from the ballot and purge all the old money from politics to find candidates that actually represent the people of their nation. 🤔
If only we could then dump that campaign money into schools and a national train system…
Seriously. I’m fine with not having an 80 year old run this country when any other time they wouldn’t even be considered for a job.
I get the sentiment, but using the Justice Department to illegally remove a political candidate who hasn’t broken the law (talking about Biden here)!? Yeah, there’s no way that gets abused…
I’m glad I will be canceling out one dumbass vote in Florida…there’s literally dozens of us who aren’t Nazis tired of this stupid short fuck.
Username does not check out. Stay strong over there o7
This “we’re gonna remove Biden from the ballot” thing is the most elaborate masturbating contest between the GOP, man.
Collective masturbation of the GOP… almost a circle, even.
If DeSantis were even remotely serious about his Presidential campaign this wouldn’t be the play. Trump being removed from the ballot would not require retaliation and would be good for him. But let’s be honest here. He’s known he’s not running a Presidental campaign for months now. He cratered. The best old puddin’ fingers can hope for is somehow getting Trump to pick him for VP.
I still can’t believe DeSantis eats pudding with his fingers like a total fucking psychopath.
Excuse me, what? I haven’t heard about this yet but lol
It’s a thing he apparently does, multiple people have reported witnessing him do it. For whatever reason the man likes eating pudding with his fingers.
Does he eat soup with his elbows?
All the Republican candidates, except Christie, want to stay in Trump’s good graces - they know they can’t win if he so much as sneezes at them so they grovel at his feet and just hope he gets disqualified on a technicality.
Honestly. Republicans are nothing but a bunch of children.
Seriously. American politics is nothing but embarrassment upon embarrassment upon embarrassment. world shaking head
republicans don’t run on credibility.
they’re practically immune to credibility, let alone merely blind to it.
Do normal people openly and candidly characterize their own motivations as “tit for tat”? I thought that was typically pejorative.
He knows GOP voters don’t follow up on anything and their memories don’t extend beyond the last Fox News show they watched. That’s why he can say shit like this knowing full well he won’t come up with anything.
