I don’t think anyone here is laboring under the notion that DeSantis would be any better than Trump. But anyway…
Ron DeSantis Is Not Your New Trump, But He Is a…
Cunt. He’s a cunt. If I put that in the title, someone would report it somewhere, but we’re all presumably adult(ish) here, so I’ll say it clearly: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a total, irredeemable cunt and every word out of his cunty mouth is filled with cuntishness. Sure, sure, you can have a delicate sensibility and call him a “dick” or “prick” or “asshole.” But those insults don’t capture the feeling of seeing and listening to Ron DeSantis quite as viscerally as “cunt.”
Honestly, there would be no reason to discuss the nature of DeSantis’s cuntery were it not for all the talk about him being the most viable non-Trump candidate for the Republican nominee for president in 2024, with some seeing him as even more viable than Trump because he’s not (yet) tainted by the scandals and barrage of lying and braying egotism that Trump has hanging over him. I’ll get to why that’s bullshit in a few. But let’s just explore some of DeSantis’s recent words and actions in order to get the full measure of his cuntocity.
Like, for instance, the “speech” (if by “speech,” you mean, “ranting culture war nonsense that exists only to give the yahoos a semi-chub for a couple of pathetic minutes”) he delivered while rallying for despicable hate-humpers J.D. “Man, I really tricked you assholes with that shitty book” Vance in Ohio and Doug “Chew My Own Ballsack Crazy” Mastriano in Pennsylvania. Check this cunty bullshit: “We must fight the woke in our schools. We must fight the woke in our businesses. We must fight the woke in government agencies. We can never ever surrender to woke ideology. And I’ll tell you this, the state of Florida is where woke goes to die.”
“The woke” are also known as “people who give a fuck about people other than themselves,” and we scare the shit out of cunts like DeSantis because we want them to, you know, give a fuck about people other than themselves. If you’re a cunt, that’s not even in the same universe you live in.
Russian Partisan Resistance (National Republican Army (NRA)) Claims Responsibility for Car Bombing
A former member of Russia’s Duma who was expelled for anti-Kremlin activities has claimed that Russian partisans were allegedly behind a car bomb which blew up the daughter of one of Vladimir Putin’s close political allies on the outskirts of Moscow.
Speaking in Kyiv, where he is based, Ilya Ponomarev alleged the explosion on Saturday evening was the work of the National Republican Army, which he claimed was an underground group working inside Russia and dedicated to overthrowing the Putin regime.
Ponomarev, who now lives in Ukraine, said that Dugina (aka Platonova) had called for the destruction of Ukrainians, and was a voice calling for violence and murder in the occupied territory. In particular, she gave justifications for the murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war in the occupied Olenivka prison camp.
“This action (the assassination of Dugina), like many other direct partisan actions carried out on the territory of Russia in recent months, was carried out by the National Republican Army (NRA),” said Ponomarev.
“We have established contact with its fighters with the help of our Rospartizan Telegram channel, which covers the growing wave of resistance in Russia.”
He read out the manifesto of the NRA fighters, which was also published on the Rospartizan Telegram channel.
“We, Russian activists, military servicemen and politicians, are now partisans and fighters of the National Republican Army,” reads the manifesto. “We outlaw warmongers, robbers and oppressors of the peoples of Russia.”
New Poll Shows That “Threats to Democracy” Now Top Issue Among Voters.
Speaking of Threats to Democracy.
It would take Donviti to do justice to DeSantis, paisan to paisan.
C’mon, Al. Don’t tell us that you’re not up to it.
No can do. Requires the DV.
For the older folks among us who remember, Richard Cordrey has passed. His tenure as Pro Tem was checkered. he was Pro Tem in the 80’s when I moved to the Bethany area. he was a man of his times.
The state giving tax money to Dupont is the free market, to me.

The family gave much to the state a century ago.
Now the company is asking for — and receiving — a payback.
Well, there was that little matter of DuPont support for the South in the Civil War ti drive gunpowder sales. Truely a gift to Delaware!
…gave much…. lol
Yes they have terrible waterways, cancer clusters, brown sites, etc
I really can stop thinking about this from yesterday.

Being co-opted by corporate special interests is so ingrained, so knitted into the DNA of the Delaware way they give each other awards for being “most valuable co-opted” person. It is normalization that transcends brazenness.
Sorry to read of Richard Cordrey’s passing. He was my boss for a few years when I worked for the Senate and before he retired. I really liked him.
He had an open door policy and everyone was welcome to come in and talk with him. He genuinely tried to create an atmosphere of collegiality in the Senate, and largely succeeded.
Any time I saw him in public he was an unassuming gentleman. He was polite and good natured to everyone who approached him.

The word “cunt” is used as a term of endearment in Britain and Australia. Most often in groups of men who have had somewhat too much to drink.
However, the standard meaning of the term is much more appropriate in describing DeSatanist.
I wouldn’t say “endearment,” necessarily, mate. But, yeah, I know some proper cunts. It’s ubiquitous slang, innit?
I made this joke under threat of cancellation. Hence I am very brave.
I have always been fond of the lady parts so I don’t use them in a derogatory sense.
I really really really want Melania to be the fbi informant. https://youtu.be/8-e_5_0glXM

While I love the idea of Trumpworld descending into a pit of paranoia and misery, I doubt the FBI would need someone “inside” to know where the classified shit was. The investigation by the National Archives started on the day Trump vacated the White House. They saw his team illegally carrying boxes of documents out out and sending them to Florida.
In June the Archives sent Federal agents visit Mar-a-Lago to search for additional materials that Trump was believed to have failed to turn over to the National Archives. During that visit the agent saw classified documents unprotected.
I like palace intrigue, but Trump is just a lazy-ass fucknut.
I agree with you but Biden and his crack head son aren’t much better.
That’s an opinion I’ve heard. Anyway, a little better or a lot better. Better is better.
Hunter Biden is cool and nobody can deal with it.
That is the best Hunter Biden response I’ve heard
If making easy money off nepotism/family contacts, enjoying drugs, and having wild sex are bad, three-quarters of the state are guilty. Very guilty.
