    If I saw that without context, I would assume it is satire.

    Remember when the president of the United States didn't know Puerto Rico was part of the US? Good times.

    I wonder how many "donors" told Ron to pay some fvcking respect or he wouldn't get a dime?

    Likely ZERO. This is how it is with these morons. Disrespect me, be an asshole, and I'll throw money at you over and over again. Unreal.

    LOL. If he turned his back on Federal aid for hurricane Ian, we wouldn't have to wait for an election, he'd be torn to pieces and fed to the gators before the week was over. Which would be awesome.

    I mean, who's ever seen a gator gag?

    We all remember the sharpie edit to the hurricane map. But did we ever find out why? Was it to possibly funnel disaster funds to the AL governor who could then divert it to Nick Saban for a deluxe football dorm?

    Yes, we did. He made some stray remark or tweet telling Alabamans to be careful when the hurricane wasn’t going to affect Alabama.

    We never take his tweets seriously. I'll wait for one of his aide's books to tell.

    Wiki breakdown of the ridiculous events. I forgot that NOAA bigwigs were accused of rejecting science by backing Donnie's assertion. ETTD, yadda yadda.

    IIRC -- based on my reading "The Fifth Risk" -- NOAA was compromised because Trump put the douchebag who owned the Weather Channel in charge so he could change the rules about who had access to weather data to line his pockets even more -- essentially stealing taxpayer money. Not to mention furthering the lie that climate change was a hoax.

    I'm not saying DeSantis should refuse the federal money, I'm saying he should take the federal money while telling Biden not to show up in Florida for a photo op. It's the kind of weak-ass "strong man" thing that Republicans seem to love these days.

    Meanwhile, here's DeSantis today: https://nypost.com/2022/10/01/desantis-warns-would-be-looters-after-hurricane-ian/

    Celebrating Mad Max style vigilantism instead of promising law and order. Just like a weak-ass "strong man" Republican.

    Which has been a complaint of mine about him when it comes to current GOP.

    The Biden telling Trump to shut up is what I'd like to see more at times.

    As for LBJ, guaranteed he'd have used his height to intimidate DeSantis. 6'3/6'4 is built different. And I say this as someone being 6'1.

    From the report, NYT journos matched her picture from some immigrants’ phones with her military pics. This was a half assed scheme from the start.

    Yep.

    Venezuelan migrant who was working with Ms. Huerta to recruit migrants confirmed her identity, and a migrant in San Antonio whom Ms. Huerta had unsuccessfully sought to sign up identified a photo of her in an interview with The Times. Several of the migrants on Martha’s Vineyard photographed her during the recruitment process in San Antonio, according to Rachel Self, a lawyer representing the migrants. Lawyers working with them were able to match those photos with others online and in social media belonging to a woman named Perla Huerta.

    OK, I didn't get this until I clicked on the tweet charlie posted. The picture is cropped in the tweet preview - you have to see the full picture. Now I want to see that picture in the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland (sorry, since this is a Florida thread, the one at Disney World I guess - does the one in the Magic Kingdom have this room?) where the pictures extend as the room elevator goes down.

    Seriously, listen to his voice and tell me that this is charismatic. And notice how he gets huffy when pushed.

    Like I said, that photo of him next to Biden is telling, a guy like Trump or LBJ would have a field day with him.
