I wonder if he would actually do half the things he is campaigning on. A lot of what he doing in Florida are just populist policies to score points with idiots. He is fully aware they are gonna be challenged and likely overturned (or scaled down) by courts, but he just cares about the immediate “news” points he gets when the law is passed and he brags about it.
Definitely abhorrent human being willing to do anything just to score politically.
Step 1 for covering up his crimes and being a traitor
Definitely not, “Just gotta commit mass corruption without getting arrested.”
I’m all for a partial purge: we should purge it of every agent who was willing to overlook the law because of political bias. Anyone who does their job, regardless of their political beliefs, should stay.
So he plans to fire Federal Government Employees with no justification? That doesn’t sound legal.
There are problems with the FBI, but I’m betting the problems he has with the FBI are the exact opposite of my problems with it.
As sad as it is, compared to local law enforcement here in the US though, they’re a breath of fresh air.
Oh yeah, that’s part of what I mean. My problems with the FBI (and law enforcement in general) are related to the balance of power and the mechanisms available for protecting the public. The widespread issues of white supremacist and/or christian dominionists in positions of authority over regular people are a huge problem, but I bet DeSantis is all about those guys. They’re his people, even if just for political convenience.
I feel like he’s pulling an RFK Jr. No chance at winning the primaries, so he’s just going to blurt off things that many people will resonate with (but have no chance at happening), then when he loses people will feel cheated. Kinda like Bernie
