Florida Man:

Dear @GovRonDeSantis

You know your national political career is over.

I told you years ago on Twitter that your little circus act would not play past the Florida state line.

I'm just waiting for you to drop out of the race.

Save this tweet. It's going to age F beautifully.

DeSantis Mocks Trump Supporters as ‘Listless Vessels’

Said DeSantis: “A movement can’t be about the personality of one individual. If all we are is listless vessels that’s just supposed to follow, you know, whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that’s not going to be a durable movement.”
Said Trump adviser Jason Miller: “Looks like Ron DeSanctimonious just had his ‘Basket of Deplorables’ moment.”

Villavicencio was killed so close to the vote, scheduled for Sunday, that all of the ballots have already been printed with his name and photo on them.

Don’t Be Surprised Biden Isn’t Getting Credit for A Good Economy (He’s Got Time)

If you’ve been following politics closely for a few decades you’ll remember that Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Obama faced a very similar issue. All three presidents had a significant interval when the economy was demonstrably doing well and yet got zero credit for it or even any clear public recognition that the economy was in good shape.
