Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The Florida governor is hitting up more adversarial press in an effort to make a contrast with Donald Trump.

It doesn't matter what the #fascist Ron #DeSantis does at this point.

His political career is over when he leaves the Governor's Mansion.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That could be true. His favorability rating is lower than when he won the governor's race but he's still over 50%. He could have a future in the state still and political memories are short. Let's hope they give him the boot though.

I don't know where you think he could go. He's term limited. Both Senators are Republican and he is not popular enough to primary them, even if he could get the money to do it. He could run for Congress again I suppose.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I must have been mistaken because I thought he could run for reelection one more time. I doubt he'll go into Congress as he was already in the House. He'll probably go into the private sector. Who knows though Trump's a wildcard he might give him an ambassadorship or something.

This turd will either float up as a talking head on political talk shows, he’ll run for Congress again (maybe in another state), or he’ll eventually worm his way into someone’s cabinet.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He should just give up. He can’t win.

[–] ganksy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He could, however, spend as much money as possible trying. Emptying the coffers of some particularly vile individuals is a worthy endeavor.

Don't you dare try to get rid of my favorite form of entertainment!

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sorry Ronnie, you blew your load too early. You'll never appeal to moderates or swing voters. The entire country knows you as the wannabe fascist you are

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

He wants to sit down so he doesn't have to wear those goofy ass platform boots

[–] Tigbitties@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I hope they ask him about his elevator shoes.

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Well, I think Joey takes his coffee Irish, but Mika will probably rip him to shreds.

Will be funny to watch him crumble at the first moderately critical question

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen.

What’s old puddin’ fingers up to now?
