So you're not just gonna tell anyone?

Why would I bother, if all your going to do is play games. Have a great day, spacey!

 

*Shooter nods.
Giving the genius the last word really does seem to calm him down and keep him from twirling as much.

 

You really are losing it! This is from what I posted, but you somehow still think I'm stumbler. You might want to talk to you doctor about your pain killers...

So how is this anti business? He's forcing these banks to make loans without having a say in it.

But I can see why you think that isn't anti-business! You Republicans do talk out of both sides of your face... One day you hate regulations, the next day, you praise them.

 

LOL, you playing your rhetorical games always gives me a chuckle!

 

Shooter apologizes to Stumbler. Stumbler didn't post this bit of propaganda, anon did. Sorry Shooter put both of you in the same category of "stupid". Anon's category of stupid is unique, isn't it?

No Anon, neither DeSantis or the state of Florida is telling a bank they HAVE TO make loans to anyone. They're saying in deciding on doing loans, they cannot boycott a business just because it's in oil, gas or weapons.

Kind of like when the Feds told banks it was illegal to refuse loans based on race ...........


You see? hardly a block on business or competition.

As for the rest of your bullshit, ignored.

 

Still telling them how to run their business.

Wow, you don't know the difference between a business decision and one based on race. Seriously, you think it is the same thing to rent an oil company a loan IS racism?

You truly are delusional.

Haha! You really are funny...

 

Shooter is so sorry, genius.
Shooter put forth an example to assist you in understanding why prohibiting a bank from making a banking decision on non banking factors (like race or social activism) is appropriate. All it did was confuse you. Shooter forgot that you are strictly a linear black and white(not meant racially) thinker, not someone who can grasp concepts or ideas. That is far too sophisticated thinking for you.
Sorry.

Go find an adult to explain it to you.
Shooter is done here.

 

Once upon a time conservative/Republicans used to preach the government has no business interfering with the decisions of primate companies. Now of course that was just another one of those lies of conservatism. But now treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans weld the power of government like a a club to try and punish any private business that dares to disagree with their totally "woke" anti woke agenda.

 

You're wrong.

 

Mehdi Hasan Shows What A Big Phony Ron DeSantis Is When It Comes To Jesus

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan on Sunday called out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, for his latest “transparent pitch” to win over evangelical Christian voters.

During an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network last week, DeSantis said he’d like to have been among the original disciples of Jesus Christ.

“These guys all went out and they dedicated their life to spreading the gospel,” DeSantis said. “I look back at that and would loved to have been able to be there with them.”

Hasan couldn’t get over the “sheer arrogance” of that statement from a Republican.

“Just imagine for a second if alongside Peter, John, James and co., there had been a Ron,” he said, then envisioned how that might’ve gone:

“A Ron who every time Jesus helped the poor and used loaves of bread and fish to feed the hungry Ron was like, ’You’re too woke, Jesus. You’re too woke. Let them pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.′ Every time Jesus said, I don’t know, we should embrace refugees and migrants Ron was like, ’Stop all the wokeness, Jesus. Send them to Martha’s Vineyard. The Holy Land is where woke goes to die.’”

“The truth is that the Jesus of the gospels and his disciples were way too left-wing for Ronald DeSantis,” Hasan told fellow MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin.

Mohyeldin said DeSantis went from worshipping “cult leader” Donald Trump to running against him for the nomination ― and that could have supporters of the former president envisioning him as one very specific disciple.

“He’s probably been more of a Judas than a Peter,” Mohyeldin said. “Even Donald Trump has noticed this betrayal.”

He played a clip of Trump slamming DeSantis as “disloyal.”

“Call me crazy, but at the end of the day, I’m not so sure positioning yourself as a Judas in the eyes of the Trump cult is the way to win over the faithful,” he said with a laugh.

Losing already? Maybe Ron DeSantis' flailing presidential campaign caught 'woke mind virus.'

While Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is out there fighting to defeat an invisible thing he calls “the woke mind virus,” his young presidential campaign is stumbling like a drunk fraternity bro with flop sweat.

It all began – poorly – with a messy Twitter launch last month. Since then, the governor’s campaign has generated little more than fodder for memes showing him looking uncomfortable around other people. Voters aren’t rallying around his incessant tilting at woke windmills or his perversely weird war with Disney.

And his chief rival, former President Donald Trump, has remained the far-and-away front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination despite being indicted for the second time this year.

It seems the governor might want to focus less on the question “How can I stop wokeness?” and more on “Why am I losing to someone who keeps getting arrested?”

- ADVERTISEMENT -

Ron DeSantis' decision to launch his campaign with Elon Musk on Twitter was ... not great
Let’s start with DeSantis’ pants falling down, metaphorically, as he made his campaign announcement via Twitter Spaces on May 24 along with Elon Musk and some other weird rich guy. The launch was riddled with tech glitches, and then featured DeSantis and Musk whining on about arcane right-wing grievances.

At that point, according to the FiveThirtyEight national average, DeSantis was polling at 20.6% compared with Trump at 54.3%. The Florida governor is a big name – touted incessantly on Fox News and in other conservative media circles – so one would expect a polling bump after he formally announced his run for president.

But there was no bump. At the midpoint of this month, DeSantis was polling at 21.4%, an increase of less than a percentage point. Trump, meanwhile, was down to 53.4%, a decrease of less than a percentage point.

Not exactly Ron-mentum.

Well, maybe state-by-state polls look better for Woke Warrior DeSantis
But what about state-level numbers? Those are what really matter in an election!

In Iowa, a National Research poll taken earlier this month found Trump up by 15 percentage points over DeSantis.

A National Research poll in Nevada, taken after DeSantis’ announcement, had Trump up more than 30 percentage points.

A recent New Hampshire poll by American Greatness found Trump had increased his lead over DeSantis by 5 percentage points over last month. The former president now leads the governor 44% to 12%, according to the poll.

Trump indicted – again: I don't want to live in a country where Trump could be held accountable

Getting beat by Donald Trump at this point is just embarrassing
Beyond polling, DeSantis' early presidential campaigning has shown Americans a man who doesn't seem to enjoy presidential campaigning and who struggles to laugh in a way that replicates traditional human behavior. Recently, a couple dozen people gathered outside Walt Disney World in Orlando carrying signs supporting DeSantis. This would seem good, but others in the group were waving swastika flags, making the whole affair what political strategists likely call "a bit too Nazi-ish."

So to recap, the much-ballyhooed conservative warrior from Florida is up against a candidate who lost the last presidential election, was impeached twice by the House of Representatives, fomented an attack on the U.S. Capitol, was recently found liable for sexual abuse in a civil lawsuit, is under state and federal indictment with two other serious investigations pending and spends most of his time writing conspiratorial nonsense in all-caps on his own social media site … and DeSantis is not just losing but losing badly.


Former US President Donald Trump gestures after delivering remarks at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey, on June 13, 2023. Trump appeared in court in Miami for an arraignment regarding 37 federal charges, including violations of the Espionage Act, making false statements, and conspiracy regarding his mishandling of classified material after leaving office.
Some of that can be explained by the Republican base’s addiction to Trump and his ongoing narrative of white victimhood. And DeSantis’ fortunes could well improve as the former president’s legal problem worsen.

Maybe DeSantis' campaign officials just aren't too good at all this
But still, the governor’s stagnant poll numbers and unwillingness or inability to fight back against Trump are a lousy reflection on his campaign and its obsessive focus on battling “the woke,” a term he can’t seem to explain.

Asked to define “woke” this month, DeSantis said: “Look, we know what woke is, it’s a form of cultural Marxism.”


A guest wears a Pride-themed Mickey Ears hat at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., Saturday, June 3, 2023.
You can’t define a word that means nothing with a term that also means nothing. That’s like me saying, “Well, we know what flarpitude is, it’s a form of horticultural Taoism.”

Central to DeSantis’ "war on woke" has been his sub-war on Disney, which is apparently “woke” because the corporation voiced tepid opposition to the governor’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law and makes movies that could – like the world around them – include people who aren’t white, straight and cisgender.

Don't mess with the mouse: Disney nixes $1 billion Florida development, latest casualty in DeSantis' 'war on woke'

Guess what? People like Disney a lot more than they like Ron DeSantis.
That whole kerfuffle is working out great for DeSantis. A new Navigator poll found that over the past year, Disney’s net favorability rating dropped only 1 point, with 63% of Americans having a favorable view of the entertainment giant.

The same poll found that since November, DeSantis’ net favorability has fallen 16 points, with 32% of Americans having a favorable view of the man Trump dubbed “Ron DeSanctimonious.”

Will the GOP dump Trump? Can a Reagan conservative win in today's GOP, or will Republicans stick with Trump?

Among registered voters, the poll found 50% of voters side with Disney in its battle with DeSantis, while only 33% side with the governor. What’s worse, a sizable 17% of voters aren’t even aware of the whole ridiculous conflict, which has to really hurt if you're DeSantis.

(This is the part where Goofy comes out and plays a sad trombone: Whomp-whomp.)

Who knows, maybe DeSantis has that 'woke mind virus'!
I’m wondering if the woke mind virus DeSantis is always on about infected the campaign and is now actively sabotaging his presidential aspirations. I suppose we’ll never know.

Much as we’ll never know what the heck a “woke mind virus” is. Or, quite likely, what DeSantis would be like if he won the GOP presidential nomination.

Ron DeSantis pushes racist tropes in latest comments about basketball and baseball players

Ron DeSantis isn't telling the truth. He knows when he uses a racist dog whistle in speaking about basketball players − not a dog whistle actually, a bullhorn ... wait, not a bullhorn, stadium speakers − that he's being purposefully misleading. Someone who went to Harvard and Yale cannot be this dumb, so yes, he is doing something else, and it's an attempt to appeal to the worst instincts of some of his followers. This is what I mean.

DeSantis did an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network and one of the topics was baseball. The interviewer called it a "thinking man's game" (another dog whistle/bullhorn/stadium speaker) then asked the Florida governor and presidential hopeful his thoughts on the sport.

"So I think that there's kind of a place for everybody on a baseball team if you're willing to work hard, if you're willing to practice, and if you're willing to hone your skills," DeSantis said. "I kind of thought it was always a very democratic game, a very meritocratic game.

"Whereas I kind of viewed like basketball as like these guys are just freaks of nature. They're just incredible athletes. In baseball, you know, you have some guys that might not necessarily be the best athletes, but maybe they've got you know that slider that nobody can hit, or they have the skills that allow them to compete at the highest level."

DeSantis' words caused a mini-firestorm on social media, and his followers did the predictable, saying dumb liberals were reading too much into his words, and all DeSantis was doing was being complimentary of basketball players' athleticism. That, of course, isn't what DeSantis was doing at all.

DeSantis was essentially talking about two leagues, and how the mostly Black one, the NBA, is full of freaky athletes with fast-twitch muscles and apparently not as democratic or meritocratic or whatever-cratic as baseball players.

Then, according to DeSantis, there's baseball, or the MLB, the mostly white sport, full of OK athletes but gosh darn, do they work hard, and form democracies and meritocratic-ocracies-republics. They're not freaks at all. They're real Americans.

No, this isn't Jimmy the Greek level racism, but it's close.

DeSantis is playing on an old stereotype of the Black athlete as the physical freak, who doesn't work hard, and the white one in baseball as the steady, hard worker who gets ahead despite not having that athleticism. And also apparently forms democracies.

This is why I say DeSantis is being knowingly misleading. DeSantis played high school baseball and also played baseball at Yale. He knows the level of athleticism it takes to make it just to college, let alone the pros. He knows that baseball players are, without question, some of the best pure athletes on the planet. Baseball history is full of remarkable athletes from Willie Mays to Roberto Clemente to Shohei Ohtani. The latter throws 100 mph and hits baseballs 400 feet. That is supreme athleticism.

Also, the work ethic of NBA players is second to none. You don't think LeBron James works hard? Or Steph Curry? Curry turned himself into one of the best shooters of all time because of a remarkable work ethic. Michael Jordan got the way he did because of his competitiveness. He wasn't born dunking a basketball.


Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks at an annual Basque Fry at the Corley Ranch in Nevada.
And basketball is as much of a "thinking man's game" as any other sport.

DeSantis knows all of this but he must play dumb for a base that likes to see Black Americans denigrated. And make no mistake, DeSantis bringing up the NBA, when not asked about it, was strategic. The right has long targeted the league because of its activism, with one of the biggest moments being Fox host Laura Ingraham telling James to shut up and dribble.

DeSantis doesn't get the benefit of the doubt here. He's been misleading many times before when it comes to race. In fact, DeSantis is one of the most prominent anti-Black politicians alive. The NAACP even issued a travel advisory warning Black Americans about going to the state because of DeSantis' policies.

He's misled about critical race theory saying it teaches children to hate America. He's misled about wokeness, saying it's a threat. He said America wasn't built on stolen land. Anyone who lives on Earth 1 knows it was.

So, yes, DeSantis knows exactly what he's doing.

And it's terrible.

Shooter came across this article and immediately thought of @anon_de_plume
Anon is going to want to get right on a post to criticize NYC mayor Eric Adams for his human trafficking.

NYC Spent $50K Transporting Migrants to Florida, Texas, Abroad: Report (msn.com)

National Review
NYC Spent $50K Transporting Migrants to Florida, Texas, Abroad: Report
Story by Brittany Bernstein • Yesterday 6:01 PM

New York City has spent $50,000 to resettle migrants in other states and countries, according to a new report from Politico, despite Mayor Eric Adams having publicly criticized Republican governors for doing the same.

The city has paid for the resettlement of 114 migrant households, according to documents obtained by the outlet. While most of the migrants were sent to Florida and Texas, some were sent as far as South America and China.

The report comes after Adams previously accused Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Texas governor Greg Abbott of relocating migrants only as “part of a political ploy.” The mayor had also accused Abbott and DeSantis of creating a “humanitarian crisis” by sending migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border up north.

Abott sent thousands of migrants via bus to New York City and Washington, D.C., while DeSantis sent 85 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard and California last year.

A spokeswoman for the mayor’s office defended the resettlements in a statement to Politico: “In contrast, New York City has, as we have discussed very publicly for months, worked to connect individuals with friends, family, and networks whether in New York City or outside of it.”

“We are not coercing people to leave, we are not suggesting or recommending locations, and we are not presenting any kind of false choice. We are helping people who want to reconnect with loved ones or communities do so,” Kate Smart said.

The Texas governor previously said he decided to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., and New York City “because of President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies,” saying that “the State of Texas has had to take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe.”

“In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city,” he said when the first busload arrived in New York last summer.

New York City was inundated by more than 79,000 migrants last year.

Adams previously dismissed suggestions that New York’s status as a sanctuary city might be attracting more people to cross the border into the U.S.

“The city has always been a sanctuary city, and we’ve always managed those who wanted to come to New York City to pursue the American dream,” he said.

 

Now if only the situations are comparable. But hey, I'll let the space alien bark all he wants...

One simple difference is that Adams bought individual tickets for these families that wanted to go, and he made no promises to them about jobs, housing, or anything else... Far from human trafficking...

Come on, spacey, bark for us!

 

Ah. So your issue isn't ILLEGAL migrants being moved around the country, its who pays for it that matters.
The part about "Promises about jobs etc. is propaganda and you can't back up any of it with reliable sources.

We're back to the same old same old
When a despicable does it it's politics
When a deplorable does it it's criminal.

 

Blah, blah, blah. Considering that you don't believe anything but what suits you, I'm sure you don't believe a word from any of the migrants being used as pawns.

But I'm sure that you'll believe they were just dumped on the streets, right? Or were there contacts made and the migrants transferred in a civil manner?

But then we than, I know I don't care what you believe, and I've got nothing to prove to you. So call me all the names you want, it's not relevant to anything.
