I told you long ago that he wouldn't even make it to the first primary. Many people laughed at me. Many more doubted me. And where are we now?

I'm no clairvoyant, I simply know a shitty candidate when I see one.

Ron DeSantis’s Campaign Crashes Into Reality

Sinking poll numbers, staff lay-offs and a literal car crash hit the Florida governor's campaign on Tuesday

The Messenger

Bullshit.

First of all, the man has nothing BUT time to waste, because he sure as hell isn't doing his actual job of governing Florida.

Secondly, Jacksonville International Airport is a 2 hour, 40 minute drive from the Florida State Capitol Building in Tallahassee.
JAX has scheduled service to and from Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago-O'Hare, Chicago-Midway, Cincinnati, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Detroit, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood, Hartford, Houston-Hobby, Houston-Intercontinental, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Nashville, New Orleans, New York-JFK, New York-LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, Norfolk, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Juan, St. Louis, Tulsa, Washington-Dulles, and Washington-Reagan National...

...and in November of this year will be adding to the list Phoenix-Sky Harbor and Providence.

You mean to tell me he has so little time to travel that he can't drive to Jacksonville, fly to any of those cities, and then drive or transfer flights to whatever early primary destination he needs to get to?

I say again: bullshit.

Another fun point to note here: remember when the media (right, left, AND reality-based) was talking up Ron as being "Trump without the baggage?" They were supposed to share all the same Nazi ideals, all the same Nazi policy goals, all the same Nazi enemies, but DeSantis didn't engage in "mean tweets." That was why Ron DeSantis was such a profoundly viable competitor to Trump, remember?

And now Ron has completely blown that talking point out of the water just by showing his WHOLE ass.

So, am I reading this right?

1. Desantis attacks Bud Light
2. Bud Light’s stock price goes down because of attacks like his by the Right
3. The FL pension fund decreases in value because they’re invested in Bud Light’s stock
4. Now he’s going to go after Bud Light because it’s their fault?

@Hydrox85 Exactly correct, yes.

My first ever GIF reaction on Mastodon. However, there is no eyeroll that could ever do this justice.
