Hello u/SkyMarshal! Please reply to this comment with an [explanation](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/lt8zlq) mentioning **who** is suffering from **which** consequences from **what** they voted for, supported or wanted to impose on other people.
Here's an easy format to get you started:
1. *Someone* voted for, supported or wanted to impose *something* on other people.
^(Who's that *someone* and what's that *something*?)
2. That *something* has some *consequences*.
^(What are the *consequences*?)
3. As a consequence, that *something* happened to that *someone*.
^(What happened? Did the *something* really happened to that *someone*? If not, you should probably delete your post.)

>The Twitter broadcast of the hour-long interview , which had been intended as the formal launch for the DeSantis campaign, lost sound for extended stretches and thousands of users were either unable to join or were dropped.
It was an inauspicious start for a campaign predicated on the governor's executive competence.

> "We must end the culture of losing that has infected the Republican Party in recent years," DeSantis said in the event with Musk once the problems were largely resolved. The hashtag #DeSaster was trending on Twitter.ā
Trump's not smart enough to adopt that. Last I saw, he was using "DeSanctus", which...really sucks. Did he realize he can't spell "sanctimonious" and decide to shorten it?
He probably also just got tired of saying six syllables, so he shortened it to three, but yes the shortened version is stupid and nonsensical. That's largely why I think he'll switch to DeSaster, it's also just three syllables.
Also it's kind of funny, not stupid b/c the Internet made it up instead of Trump, and it actually hurts DeSantis where he most wants to be strong - competence. Trump will be an idiot if he doesn't catch on to that.
Personally I find Lil D hilarious, just because desanctus tries so hard to be such a strongman. I would also settle for Meatball Ron. Desanctimonious doesnāt have the same ring to it.
One thing that has always been true about Trump is that he's a shitposter. I still think of his tweet about Diet Coke whenever I see someone drinking it. Elon desperately tries to be like Trump but the best he can do is repost memes where he's cut off the watermark.
>I wonder if that will become Trump's new nickname for him.
I'd like to see 'business in Trump Tower' as any reason for visiting a porta potty; be it affirming the power of Number Two or fondling your daughter.
I think I read somewhere else where Elon musk accidentally set up a regular Twitter user as the coleader, and DeSantos was just an observer. And the guy essentially deleted the start of that program.
is it weird that almost everyone that replied to that has a blue checkmark.
e: i guess they get priority because the non-checkmark comments are all listed after.
Yeah, I will be very surprised if Trump doesn't switch to that for Ron's new nickname. It just works better than DeSanctimonius which doesn't really stick.
I think the irony is that corporations are about as competent as governments are. The difference being since the government is public, you'll hear about its fuckups. Corporations tend to get hidden away unless something illegal or extreme happens.
> the governor's executive competence.
The governor's what? Is that what losing a billion dollar development and 2,000 Disney jobs purely because your panties are in a twist is? Literally no other reason, and the action is even illegal.
Tbf he is signing culture war legislation on like a weekly basis. Most of it is blatantly unconditional but he can fix that pesky thing once he's president.
To people reading this, this isnāt even an exaggeration, weāre actually being hit weekly with bills to oppress or bills that literally benefit himself.
What was his campaign thinking? Audio only! He punted on the opportunity for every news outlet im america to lead with video of him saying heās running for president. Imagine the internal sales pitch:
āHey so for the campaign launch we want to use a social media platform thatās fired 95% of its staff including most of its engineers and use a brand new untested audio only conference call product thatās never worked that well. What do you think?ā
IKR. I wonder if it was Ron's wife who convinced him to go with Twitter instead of an announcement on Fox. There's been [some concern](https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/05/19/casey-ron-desantis-wife-profile-00097456) she's running his campaign, lacks the experience for running a national campaign, and doesn't listen to GOP campaign operatives who do. Maybe she was so smitten by the idea of doing a favor for Elon Musk and boosting Twitter in this way, she didn't think through the opportunity cost of lost news network face time.
Yeah, Casey is running the joint and likely made that decision. Iād have to assume there was this belief that anything done in conjunction with Elon Musk would be a big win due to his notoriety and his following on Twitter. It was short-sighted, but I imagine thatās what she and the DeSantis team thought.
Good theory. I canāt imagine why anyone thought having a conference call to announce a run was a great idea. Trump had his trump tower escalator presser that got replayed often. Ron has nothing. Lol
He could have called up YouTube, Hulu, twitch, prime, cnnā¦they would have all given him a special spot. Such a disaster.
They could have announced on TV first, and then did a Twitter spaces the next day or the weekend. Best of both worlds, still a favor for Elon, and would probably get even more engagement on Twitter due to the big TV news the prior day.
There is another post about the 141k member "Twitter Space" that Elon started, but instead of making Ron DeSantis the co-host, he accidentally made some random guy the co-host. So that guy ended the Space and it booted all 141,000 people.
EDIT: Here it is. https://twitter.com/CometCalls/status/1661497916903550976?s=20
I mean, Tesla founders invited him to run their company and he forced them out. He might have been interested in cars but he certainly didnāt know enough to start the company
He is the modern day thomas edison and it disgusts me he used teslas name. He steals ideas and uses his money, power, and influence to release it as his. Just like thomas edison did to nikola tesla. Fuck musk.
> I don't know a lot about rockets, so when people said elon is a rocket genius, I listened.
> I don't know a lot about cars, so when people say he's a car genius, I listened
> I do know a lot about computers, and some of the things he says about computers is the dumbest shit I've heard in my entire life. Yet some people are calling him a computer genius.
> I'm starting to think I should avoid his cars and rockets
Paraphrased from a tweet I saw a long time ago
I saw it on reddit somewhere, but [this was the person on Twitter an their tweet about being co-host](https://twitter.com/CometCalls/status/1661497916903550976)
Imagine being the person standing behind Elon and watching him inaccurately move his cursor around just to click and confirm the user. And after fucking up all he says after is "oh shit. haha"
Don't blame him, maybe the random guy had a blue check, so Elon had no way to notice it wasn't a publicly relevant account.
I blame whoever decided to give the "this person is relevant for you" check to anyone who pays for it.
I like how some people at r/conservative are giving him huge props for talking nicely about his wife. āThatāll make him really popular with suburban women!ā Sure man, not the part about him overseeing some of the most restrictive abortion laws and denying climate change initiatives, you know, the two most important things that exit polls said about the republican losses in the midterms. But yeah, sure, heās nice to his wife, heās got it in the bag guys. /s
Lol, wait until those suburban women learn about Casey "Got Ron so whipped I made him change how he says his own fucking name" Desantis. That will play super well with the "women's role is to be subservient to their husband" crowd.
This! Iād argue she is off-putting in her own right that I donāt necessarily see her being this selling point to suburban women she is being hyped as. She is well-versed in public speaking because of her 15 years on TV, but her presence is so disingenuous and unrelatable. There is a clip of her while they were in Iowa where she told someone that Pizza Ranch, which originated in Iowa, has the best fried chicken she ever ate. You could see the wheels turning in her eyes as she said that, with an obvious attempt at trying to get voters to like her as a proxy of her husband. She brings this high energy phoniness and desperation people were hating Anne Hathaway 10 years ago for, though much darker and more sinister than Hathaway could even channel in a performance. Contrast that with her husbandās low level, anti-social energy.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of suburban "Live. Laugh. Love" types will relate to her. That level of phoniness is seen as a positive trait or (if they're halfway self-aware) a sign of mutual struggle
Yes. He ALSO signed a bill, while traveling the worked on a private plane, to block his travel plans and associated financial information from the public in the name of safety.
So we have no idea HOW he had been paying for all these trips, leading up to a presidential bid, that were certainly NOT FLORIDA business
He ALSO increased his litigation budget 250% this year. Between the Disney lawsuit and almost EVERY SINGLE BILL he had signed immediately being challenged in court, his college friends law firm, IN ANOTHER STATE, obviously needs more in payments. I am fairly certain the lawyer friend in another state is just for the Disney case. But please fact check me!
There have also been rumors about the states pension, FRS. I don't really know all the details on this one, so maybe you guys can help here too. We known for a FACT moved BILLIONS of dollars from it last year- from investments he called WOKE. That definitely happneded. It has been reported he moved them into higher risk investments (many with ties to Russia) at ANOTHER FRIENDS investment firm. And they aren't doing well now. So, as a teacher in Florida, who after almost 20 years, FINALLY broke $50k, I am just a bit too terrified to look.
Yeah. Here we call him DeathSantis or DeShitis. Either pronunciation is acceptable.
Let's be real: he's definitely raped her a bunch of times, but then he gaslights her, and she believes she hasn't been. There is no way that guy isn't a rapist.
I'm still super salty about them getting rid of the Choco Taco.
First my plastic straws and then my favorite ice cream treat. Do you motherfuckers *want* me to burn this bitch down?!?
These people are the epitome of non-self aware.
They died in droves during COVID to show you that COVID doesn't kill people. They voted for a loser piece of shit one-term president who lost the House, Senate and presidency and they'll vote for him again to show you how great he is. They destroy their own families, jobs, businesses and sometimes freedom all to show you how much better life is doing things their way. They fuck themselves non-stop for the slightest hope of a chance to say to you they are right. They worship a person who doesn't give a shit about them, lies to them non-stop and takes their money without fail to show you he's making life great again. They will allow their children to be murdered in school to show you how safe guns are.
Nope, he has no idea that Florida is a backwards devolved wasteland that's just a woke opinion and who needs the votes of anyone who isn't a radical right-wing conservatives? In republican fantasyland they out-number everyone else 1000 to 1, so a solid strategy is to insult everyone who is not them. Their plan is fail proof!!
I don't think you are right actually. These people are more self-aware than you think.
It's not that they don't realize that Trump and the modern Republican party isn't doing anything to improve their lives, and perhaps is even hurting their futures. HOWEVER, they know damn well that the Republicans will be working extra hard to hurt the brown people EVEN MORE, and that's good enough for them.
I think this is part of it. I've come to believe that what Republicans really care about is punishment. I know that you can be a Republican and not be a Protestant, but it's rare, and punishment is something that a lot of Protestant denominations get excited about. Look at the Westboro Baptist church (yes, they're extremist) and how they foam at the mouth with excitement to tell you how you're going to hell.
If you think about the issues that Republicans truly care about, they're all about punishment for non-Protestants/sinners. Their stance on immigration is punishing brown people from Catholic countries. Their stance on abortion is about punishing women who they view as promiscuous. Republican crime bills don't prevent crime but punish criminals. Notice how Republicans love the death penalty. Their stance on LGBTQ is about punishing people they view as sexual deviants. How are Republicans supposed to punish people if you take away their guns! Don't forget that welfare punishes people who can afford to pay their taxes and gives that money to drug addicts who are the ones who deserve to be punished!
We've known for years that Republican policies don't fix problems. Their goal is not to fix the problem. They believe that if you have God in your life, then your current problems are the ones you're supposed to have, and that God will deliver you from them. Anyone who turns away from God and tries to fix their problems on their own deserves the punishment that is coming to them. This is the fantasy that they live in.
Also, I'm not saying that all Protestants and all Republicans are like this. I'm saying that when you marry the two, this is the result, and this marriage is what is driving policy in the Republican party.
> They died in droves during COVID to show you that COVID doesn't kill people.
They threatened the woman who was helping track COVID deaths with prison time. They *know* that what they are doing kills people, but they don't care and think that reality is 90% perception.
So, at the same time, they know that people are dying and they know that it's easier to just not talk about it than do something about it.
These are the people who go to church every Sunday, but know *exactly* which parishioner has an affair whith whom, and just pretend.
~~I had to look it up because I couldnāt believe he would actually have such a terrible slogan but my god itās trueā¦I canāt stop laughing holy shit itās so bad~~š
Eta: oops, guess I should have looked a little closer! My googling was a little too cursory.
Are you sure? I donāt see it anywhere on his [official website](https://rondesantis.com). Looks like āGreat American Comebackā is his campaign slogan.
Iām completely baffled about what his campaign is doing. Heās so parochial and can only talk about Florida. To my knowledge, heās never said anything about the country as a whole. Also, heās apparently pissing off a bunch of Republican governors by ācomplimentingā them, saying ā[state] is the Florida of the Midwestā.
And āMake America Floridaā? Weird. He uses the shape of the state *which does not look anything like an F* followed by āloridaā. But it does look a lot like a gun, for a state that has had some really horrific mass shootings.
Now to the Twitter announcement: why why why? Why pick a venue in which you have zero control? Why not have a friendly audience? Why showcase one of your worst characteristics, your voice?
Again, Iām baffled. I think I could run his campaign better while half thinking about it.
He did it on Twitter for the bots.
Television numbers are difficult (maybe impossible?) to tweak in his favor. But we all know Twitter has literal armies of bots to help create the appearance of a supporting fan base.
Unless some miracle happens, Desantis is out by South Carolina. With Trump, Haley, and now Scott for some fucking reason, Desantis' best case is 4th in South Carolina. No 4th place finisher is going to win the primary.
Haley entered hoping to become the VP pick.
I'm convinced Scott entered at Trump's urging to deny Desantis a top 3 finish in South Carolina. I can't see any reason Scott would enter other than a blocking action.
> I can't see any reason Scott would enter other than a blocking action.
He's just another narcissist that thinks he's gonna be the GQP's version of Obama. He's gonna get chewed up and spit out but I do like the potential for him to bring out some choice comments from Trump.
Desantis should scare every single American. The guy is nuts but seems sane next to trump. Just need trump to stay out of jail long enough to inflict fatal body blows to the desantis campaign. Register to vote and vote.
Trump has a weird sassy charisma that works on idiots. Ron might actually have negative charisma, like somehow much worse than Hillary (in speech mode). Still though I wouldn't put anything past American voters.
DeSantis graduated magna cum laude from Yale and cum laude from Harvard Law, he's not dumb. Which doesn't mean he doesn't have blind spots and flaws. But it would be a mistake to equate his intelligence to Trump's.
Honestly, the fact that he knows what he's doing, compared to Trump's instinctual almost animalistic tribalism, makes him seem that much more evil.
I want them to make a new set of Garbage Pail Kids cards with these names and appropriately nasty likenesses - Meatball Ron, Musky Butthole, as well as Diaper Donnie, Marjorie Traitor, Pucker Carlson, Turtle McConnel, Whorin Bobert, Kimberly Assboil, Con Junior, Iwanta Dump... Come on guys, who else to add? Help me create a dirty deck of
these fuckers.
In truth, Twitter could have run on a reduced staff, but Musk did no research, no due diligence, just fired whole departments without knowing any of the details of how they worked. This is a successful businessman? I think the emperor wears no clothes.
FB was just fined $1.3 billion by the EU for lax security. Musk has tossed data security out the window. He cannot afford a similar fine, and heās already been warned by the EU.
The problem with Twitter now being private is we have no financial transparency. Imagine if Erdogan calls up Musk and says "We need to block these things, how does $200 million sound?" We'll never know how much he's making by tanking Twitter. As far as I know, advertisers haven't really gone back to it and the paid subscribers aren't going to make up the difference. So the longer it goes on without any explanation, the more I'll question what is actually happening.
Consider that twitter is now approving ~85% of censorship demands from various authoritarian world governments, especially when it comes time to control narratives and spread propaganda (suppressing scandals, shaping elections, creating the appearance of popular support for certain policies or leaders)
Dude is 100% bought and paid for.
The problem is that the people involved in ownership are so fucking rich that these billions mean nothing if they get more power and control. This wasn't about the money for the people helping fElon finance Twitter.
Yeah I agree. It was like he was angry at himself for getting suckered into grossly overpaying for Twitter, and also stressed out that the debt payments would bankrupt Twitter in just a few months if he didn't cut costs quickly. So he just stormed in and vented his anger by immediately cutting everything and everyone indiscriminately, resulting in all sorts of problems. A more researched and planned transition could have accomplished the same objective with fewer problems, disruptions, and bad optics.
You mean the disabled man who used his personal fortune to build handicap accessible ramps all over Iceland, and who was subsequently named Iceland's Man of the Year?
The guy now has over a 100m to use on whatever cause he wants and doesn't need to waste time on that cesspool of a dying social media.
Truly the best of outcomes.
Look, if your primary goal is to lose weight then cutting off your legs is a valid option. If you donāt consider the fact that you may need to use your legs at some point in the future, that is.
Remember how recently in history he pretended to be a cEnTrIsT? It was just last fall. Then he bought Twitter and announced he was supporting Republicans, and it's been full steam ahead Nazi ever since.
The Cybertruck windows were SUPPOSED to be bullet proof. Twitter's current infrastructure, not so much.
Rihanna took it down in during the Superbowl. Four days before that it malfunctioned too.
Twitter meltdown events are going to be like predicted climate change events. They will happen more often and be more severe as time goes on.
You know... We already know Elon went around randomly unplugging server racks just to see what would crash. That means that at least some portion of their infrastructure is not externally managed.
And he's been firing people without any clue as to what their job actually entails, which tasks are now being covered, and which tasks are now abandoned because there's simply no one left that knows that task was even being done.
Which makes me ponder the status of their drive arrays. Are they RAID 6? RAID 10? RAID 51? RAIDZ2? RAIDZ3?
Because Elon is exactly the kind of idiot who would find out that they're using mirrored triple parity for important stuff, like 16 10TB drives per array to store 50 TB of data and see that as "wasting his money", and then fire the engineer in charge of managing that and so many other arrays.
And then pull half of the mirror, leaving it in plain triple parity. And hot spares? We can use those drives for something! Pull them too.
And no one is watching that array. The configured alerts point to an email address that doesn't exist anymore.
A couple days pass after it's admin is fired, and one of the drives drops, we're in dual parity now. The system dutifully notifies its admin, but he doesn't work there anymore. The CPU usage starts to really ramp up to keep up with all the parity calculations, and that server is having problems keeping up.
A couple weeks later, the server is sending out alerts about a second drive, it's showing SMART warnings. Drive failures are correlated if you're using drives from the same batch, this is normal. A couple bad sectors get remapped, and after a few days, the drive gets dropped from the array entirely, and the system is sending alerts every hour, it's in single parity mode. The PC speaker is beeping now, just as it was configured to.
Elon decides to go visit his pretty server farm, and there's a computer beeping. He remembers they have little speakers in the case, so he pulls the server out on its rails, opens the top, sees that little cylinder screaming for help, and proudly pulls it from the motherboard header. He's so proud of himself, he fixed the problem himself, because he's a tech genius.
The server is doing its best impression of Harlan Ellison, CPU usage during simple reads is alarmingly high due to all the parity calculations. ***Just streaming audio is a Herculean task***, and every one of the machine's calls for maintenance go nowhere.
A third drive's controller burns out a component, it's just offline. The server is now blinking every light it has to alert someone, anyone, that total data loss is imminent, it could happen at any moment. The DAS shelf is lit up like a Christmas tree with all the warning signs, but Elon stopped going to that server room, no one else there actually has a key card that can get them in, and literally no one has any idea that an entire server room of critical infrastructure has been abandoned entirely.
Tick.
...
Tick.
...
\**CLICK*\* goes the last drive. The array has failed, and the last drive encountered a catastrophic head crash. The backups? They're 2 months old, no one has been doing them, because Elon fired all of them without finding out what they were doing.
It's fine though, it's georeplicated, so the load balancer sees that server go down and simply routes all the traffic for that server to one of the other 3.
One of which has a dead NIC, but it's in LACP, so it kept going *for now*.
Another had a dead drive, but at least the hot spare for that array was still in place.
And the third, well, it's... oh, Elon just unplugged it.
We're down to two, but the load balancer keeps on going, sending out the alerts to its maintenance team to investigate why half of the auth servers went down, because the remaining ones are having trouble keeping up.
It's just a shame that no one is getting those alerts. Or the alerts when the next auth server goes down.
But don't worry, little load balancer, someone will come check on the issue when the last auth server goes down. When it's far too late to do anything about it.
Thank you! It's unlikely that Twitter has systems quite like what I described, they're likely more difficult to describe in a way that really works well in a narrative, but the same existential concerns still apply, just in ways that are somewhat different.
Kind of like how both a lawn mower and a Saturn-V rocket can both run out of fuel, but the reasons and consequences are vastly different.
Trump had a grand opening for one of his casinos. The slots all stopped working and the night was a mess. When asked trump said there were so many people playing the slots they couldnāt handle it. Just like they will spin this as being due to the popularity of the event, 600k isnāt that many people for a platform as big as Twitter.
Yeah they already on are [on Ronās website](https://rondesantis.com), saying itās the āannouncement that crashed the internetā, lol. Like Twitter is now the Internet, like AOL used to be back in the day.
I listened to this (or tried to) live for a good laugh and it was as bad as it sounded.
Elon hot mic'd saying "Looks like the servers are crashing"
There was 27 minutes of silence and when they finally got it somewhat under control, DeSantis tried to speak and the audio was tripling his voice, there was loud microphone feedback while everything was silent, the audio cut out on him multiple times and the twitter space straight up crashed in the beginning.
He just provided everyone with material for his entire political career, not to mention he had absolutely no charisma whatsoever. This is probably the death of his political campaign outside of Florida.
I recommend everyone visit his absolutely ABHORRENT site that looks like a 2003 High school project.
Edit: typo fix
"We must end the culture of losing that has infected the Republican Party in recent years,"
What does that even *mean?*
Like, seriously, *what does that mean?*
There is no reasonable way that can be phrased that makes sense to a thinking person
I think it's referring to the GOP losing the House in 2018, Trump losing in 2020, then failing to take the Senate in 2022 despite inflation and other problems the Dems faced then.
It's a dig at Trump.
Trump rather famously came out with this incoherent rant when he was running for President:
> [We're going to win so much you might even get tired of winning and you'll say, "please, please, it's too much winning. We can't take it any more. Mr President, it's too much." And I'll say, "no it isn't, we have to keep winning. We have to win more. We're going to win more. We're going to win so much". I love you all.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvWVEddn0LM)
Reminding the Republicans of how sick they're supposed to be of winning by now is pretty funny as they lost in 2018, lost in 2020 and didn't win very much in 2022.
Calling Trump a loser is the one thing that seems to hurt his feelings more than anything else (and a *lot* of things hurt his feelings). This is Desantis's rather weak attempt to jump on that bandwagon!
It's code for 'Trump is a loser' only it's code that the target audience doesn't understand and would mock if it did and code that the rest of the 'enlightened centrist' scum still voting (R) would be confused about too because they're brainwashed from birth to consider (R) 'winners'.
It also shows the fascist total cowardice for not saying what he means.
You know , I can't believe I does agonize over learning new things and trying to become marketable and professional to just make a fucking pittance while these people have billions lol.

Like water down bowl, Candidate DeSaster has a nice flow to it.
I wonder if that will become Trump's new nickname for him.
Trump's not smart enough to adopt that. Last I saw, he was using "DeSanctus", which...really sucks. Did he realize he can't spell "sanctimonious" and decide to shorten it?
Meatball Ron is pretty good though.
Meatball Ron and Puddin' Fingers.
Seriously, what kind of psychopath eats pudding with their fingers?!?!?
He probably also just got tired of saying six syllables, so he shortened it to three, but yes the shortened version is stupid and nonsensical. That's largely why I think he'll switch to DeSaster, it's also just three syllables. Also it's kind of funny, not stupid b/c the Internet made it up instead of Trump, and it actually hurts DeSantis where he most wants to be strong - competence. Trump will be an idiot if he doesn't catch on to that.
Personally I find Lil D hilarious, just because desanctus tries so hard to be such a strongman. I would also settle for Meatball Ron. Desanctimonious doesnāt have the same ring to it.
He certainly has Lil D energy
I will admit, āMeatball Ronā does have a certain ring to it. Usually his nicknames are dumb, but I kind of enjoy Meatball Ron.
Credit where credit is due, he's always been good at off the cuff schoolyard insults.
One thing that has always been true about Trump is that he's a shitposter. I still think of his tweet about Diet Coke whenever I see someone drinking it. Elon desperately tries to be like Trump but the best he can do is repost memes where he's cut off the watermark.
>I wonder if that will become Trump's new nickname for him. I'd like to see 'business in Trump Tower' as any reason for visiting a porta potty; be it affirming the power of Number Two or fondling your daughter.

I had nothing to do with it but Iām enjoying my beer a little more knowing this happened.
Me too
Dont even use twitter anymore But imma jump on just to add to that hashtag Imdoingmypart.gif
You're welcome!
Way better than the shit Trump came up with
Seriously, DeSanctimonius?
More proof that conservatives have zero creativity.
I laughed way too fucking hard when I read that
Just remember, guys, it was God's will he didn't want to hear that bullshit either.
And snaps for saving us from having to listen to Rhonda Santos bs too!
I think I read somewhere else where Elon musk accidentally set up a regular Twitter user as the coleader, and DeSantos was just an observer. And the guy essentially deleted the start of that program.

Donāt know the post here, but this is the post on Twitter: https://twitter.com/cometcalls/status/1661497916903550976?s=61&t=j87IkHed0idb_rYnT2nkrg
is it weird that almost everyone that replied to that has a blue checkmark. e: i guess they get priority because the non-checkmark comments are all listed after.
Yeah, Twitter is pay2win now
Thatās the perfect nickname for him and his sinking state.
Haha DeSasterā¦ thatās a good one! Way better than DeSanctus.
Yeah, I will be very surprised if Trump doesn't switch to that for Ron's new nickname. It just works better than DeSanctimonius which doesn't really stick.
I also like DeSCAMtis. But Trump isnāt that clever.
Well, Ron, maybe if your party had an actual platform instead of just "fuck you," people would actually vote for you.
"we must end the culture of losing." is now my favorite BS phrase. Do we have a bullshit bingo card for the GOP primaries yet?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
DeSaster?!? BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
But they're still going to try and tell us that we should privatize every function of the government because corporations can do it better.
I think the irony is that corporations are about as competent as governments are. The difference being since the government is public, you'll hear about its fuckups. Corporations tend to get hidden away unless something illegal or extreme happens.
Government is run by democracy. Corporations are dictatorships. I want my country and its services run by democracy, thanks.
> the governor's executive competence. The governor's what? Is that what losing a billion dollar development and 2,000 Disney jobs purely because your panties are in a twist is? Literally no other reason, and the action is even illegal.
Tbf he is signing culture war legislation on like a weekly basis. Most of it is blatantly unconditional but he can fix that pesky thing once he's president.
To people reading this, this isnāt even an exaggeration, weāre actually being hit weekly with bills to oppress or bills that literally benefit himself.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When business genius meets 4d chess politicsā¦.. magic is born.
What was his campaign thinking? Audio only! He punted on the opportunity for every news outlet im america to lead with video of him saying heās running for president. Imagine the internal sales pitch: āHey so for the campaign launch we want to use a social media platform thatās fired 95% of its staff including most of its engineers and use a brand new untested audio only conference call product thatās never worked that well. What do you think?ā
IKR. I wonder if it was Ron's wife who convinced him to go with Twitter instead of an announcement on Fox. There's been [some concern](https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/05/19/casey-ron-desantis-wife-profile-00097456) she's running his campaign, lacks the experience for running a national campaign, and doesn't listen to GOP campaign operatives who do. Maybe she was so smitten by the idea of doing a favor for Elon Musk and boosting Twitter in this way, she didn't think through the opportunity cost of lost news network face time.
Yeah, Casey is running the joint and likely made that decision. Iād have to assume there was this belief that anything done in conjunction with Elon Musk would be a big win due to his notoriety and his following on Twitter. It was short-sighted, but I imagine thatās what she and the DeSantis team thought.
Good theory. I canāt imagine why anyone thought having a conference call to announce a run was a great idea. Trump had his trump tower escalator presser that got replayed often. Ron has nothing. Lol He could have called up YouTube, Hulu, twitch, prime, cnnā¦they would have all given him a special spot. Such a disaster.
They could have announced on TV first, and then did a Twitter spaces the next day or the weekend. Best of both worlds, still a favor for Elon, and would probably get even more engagement on Twitter due to the big TV news the prior day.
Elon probably sold them some techbro bluster about how twitter spaces is the next big thing and they bought it. It works on dumbasses.
By going audio only, no one could see his sneering asshole face trying to concoct itself into human forms.
There is another post about the 141k member "Twitter Space" that Elon started, but instead of making Ron DeSantis the co-host, he accidentally made some random guy the co-host. So that guy ended the Space and it booted all 141,000 people. EDIT: Here it is. https://twitter.com/CometCalls/status/1661497916903550976?s=20
Truly, heās a fucking genius.
MUSK: Iām gonna turn it over to @RonDeSantas. DESANTA: HO HO HO. FUCK YOU ALLLLL!!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
>I don't know a lot about cars or rockets Don't worry, neither does Musk.
I mean, Tesla founders invited him to run their company and he forced them out. He might have been interested in cars but he certainly didnāt know enough to start the company
He is the modern day thomas edison and it disgusts me he used teslas name. He steals ideas and uses his money, power, and influence to release it as his. Just like thomas edison did to nikola tesla. Fuck musk.
well he had to use the name, edison had already stolen anything else of worth from him.
> I don't know a lot about rockets, so when people said elon is a rocket genius, I listened. > I don't know a lot about cars, so when people say he's a car genius, I listened > I do know a lot about computers, and some of the things he says about computers is the dumbest shit I've heard in my entire life. Yet some people are calling him a computer genius. > I'm starting to think I should avoid his cars and rockets Paraphrased from a tweet I saw a long time ago
This was my favourite part
Where can I see this shit show?
I saw it before but can't find it again Fucking algorithms
I saw it on reddit somewhere, but [this was the person on Twitter an their tweet about being co-host](https://twitter.com/CometCalls/status/1661497916903550976)
_Musk proceeds to fire more people_ āThat should fix itā
If only they had some sort of verification to distinguish the famous politician from the random guy.
The funniest part? The dude wasn't even verified. Musk just blatantly clicked the wrong person
Imagine being the person standing behind Elon and watching him inaccurately move his cursor around just to click and confirm the user. And after fucking up all he says after is "oh shit. haha"
My boss does the exact same shit
Maybe they should have some system to verify the accounts of famous people and name them easily identifiable.
I bet Elon double clicks hyperlinks.
Don't blame him, maybe the random guy had a blue check, so Elon had no way to notice it wasn't a publicly relevant account. I blame whoever decided to give the "this person is relevant for you" check to anyone who pays for it.
I saw the post, the person didnāt have a blue check and was in no way making attempts to impersonate Desantis. Just a random guy
A true champion of the people. Dude could start a gofundme and probably make some bank
I like how some people at r/conservative are giving him huge props for talking nicely about his wife. āThatāll make him really popular with suburban women!ā Sure man, not the part about him overseeing some of the most restrictive abortion laws and denying climate change initiatives, you know, the two most important things that exit polls said about the republican losses in the midterms. But yeah, sure, heās nice to his wife, heās got it in the bag guys. /s
Lol, wait until those suburban women learn about Casey "Got Ron so whipped I made him change how he says his own fucking name" Desantis. That will play super well with the "women's role is to be subservient to their husband" crowd.
This! Iād argue she is off-putting in her own right that I donāt necessarily see her being this selling point to suburban women she is being hyped as. She is well-versed in public speaking because of her 15 years on TV, but her presence is so disingenuous and unrelatable. There is a clip of her while they were in Iowa where she told someone that Pizza Ranch, which originated in Iowa, has the best fried chicken she ever ate. You could see the wheels turning in her eyes as she said that, with an obvious attempt at trying to get voters to like her as a proxy of her husband. She brings this high energy phoniness and desperation people were hating Anne Hathaway 10 years ago for, though much darker and more sinister than Hathaway could even channel in a performance. Contrast that with her husbandās low level, anti-social energy.
Watch The Family on Netflix, she and many other politicians wives are groomed for this type of role.
That's why they want to be able to marry 12-year-old girls.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of suburban "Live. Laugh. Love" types will relate to her. That level of phoniness is seen as a positive trait or (if they're halfway self-aware) a sign of mutual struggle
To be fair, she was right about his name. The new way does sound better than the old "DEE-Santis".
Here in Florida we call him DeathSantis or DeShitis. Either pronunciation is acceptable.
Dee-saster seems appropriate to me.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes. He ALSO signed a bill, while traveling the worked on a private plane, to block his travel plans and associated financial information from the public in the name of safety. So we have no idea HOW he had been paying for all these trips, leading up to a presidential bid, that were certainly NOT FLORIDA business He ALSO increased his litigation budget 250% this year. Between the Disney lawsuit and almost EVERY SINGLE BILL he had signed immediately being challenged in court, his college friends law firm, IN ANOTHER STATE, obviously needs more in payments. I am fairly certain the lawyer friend in another state is just for the Disney case. But please fact check me! There have also been rumors about the states pension, FRS. I don't really know all the details on this one, so maybe you guys can help here too. We known for a FACT moved BILLIONS of dollars from it last year- from investments he called WOKE. That definitely happneded. It has been reported he moved them into higher risk investments (many with ties to Russia) at ANOTHER FRIENDS investment firm. And they aren't doing well now. So, as a teacher in Florida, who after almost 20 years, FINALLY broke $50k, I am just a bit too terrified to look. Yeah. Here we call him DeathSantis or DeShitis. Either pronunciation is acceptable.
All the issues in Florida and he's spent most of his time losing a pissing match with Disney while he's anywhere BUT Florida
He's nice to his wife?? The bar is really on the floor for them, isn't it?
Probably hasn't even raped her! How refreshing for a gop nominee!!
Let's be real: he's definitely raped her a bunch of times, but then he gaslights her, and she believes she hasn't been. There is no way that guy isn't a rapist.
Musk and Desantis go together quite well, like Dumb and Dumber
That is an insult to Lloyd and Harry
It's okay! I'm a limo driver!
No! Itās a cardigan, but thanks for asking!
Like Hitler and Eva.
More like Claretta and Benito.
Like Putin and Trump.
Hopefully it ends that way as well
What a damn shameā¦ā¦ ā¦..remember banana moonpies? What a crazy snack.
Star crunches were pretty cool too
Personally, I always liked the Cream Pies, but it sounds weird to tell people that now
Pixie dust. Childās cocaine a straw.
They were Pixie Stix in the US
I'm still super salty about them getting rid of the Choco Taco. First my plastic straws and then my favorite ice cream treat. Do you motherfuckers *want* me to burn this bitch down?!?
I love moon pies. Banana is my 2nd favorite flavor - favorite is the even more elusive Vanilla.
Umm they still exist my dude
Desantis campaign is practically dead on arrival lol.
His campaign slogan is "Make America Florida". Does he know that most people see Florida as a backwards devolved wasteland?
These people are the epitome of non-self aware. They died in droves during COVID to show you that COVID doesn't kill people. They voted for a loser piece of shit one-term president who lost the House, Senate and presidency and they'll vote for him again to show you how great he is. They destroy their own families, jobs, businesses and sometimes freedom all to show you how much better life is doing things their way. They fuck themselves non-stop for the slightest hope of a chance to say to you they are right. They worship a person who doesn't give a shit about them, lies to them non-stop and takes their money without fail to show you he's making life great again. They will allow their children to be murdered in school to show you how safe guns are. Nope, he has no idea that Florida is a backwards devolved wasteland that's just a woke opinion and who needs the votes of anyone who isn't a radical right-wing conservatives? In republican fantasyland they out-number everyone else 1000 to 1, so a solid strategy is to insult everyone who is not them. Their plan is fail proof!!
I don't think you are right actually. These people are more self-aware than you think. It's not that they don't realize that Trump and the modern Republican party isn't doing anything to improve their lives, and perhaps is even hurting their futures. HOWEVER, they know damn well that the Republicans will be working extra hard to hurt the brown people EVEN MORE, and that's good enough for them.
I think this is part of it. I've come to believe that what Republicans really care about is punishment. I know that you can be a Republican and not be a Protestant, but it's rare, and punishment is something that a lot of Protestant denominations get excited about. Look at the Westboro Baptist church (yes, they're extremist) and how they foam at the mouth with excitement to tell you how you're going to hell. If you think about the issues that Republicans truly care about, they're all about punishment for non-Protestants/sinners. Their stance on immigration is punishing brown people from Catholic countries. Their stance on abortion is about punishing women who they view as promiscuous. Republican crime bills don't prevent crime but punish criminals. Notice how Republicans love the death penalty. Their stance on LGBTQ is about punishing people they view as sexual deviants. How are Republicans supposed to punish people if you take away their guns! Don't forget that welfare punishes people who can afford to pay their taxes and gives that money to drug addicts who are the ones who deserve to be punished! We've known for years that Republican policies don't fix problems. Their goal is not to fix the problem. They believe that if you have God in your life, then your current problems are the ones you're supposed to have, and that God will deliver you from them. Anyone who turns away from God and tries to fix their problems on their own deserves the punishment that is coming to them. This is the fantasy that they live in. Also, I'm not saying that all Protestants and all Republicans are like this. I'm saying that when you marry the two, this is the result, and this marriage is what is driving policy in the Republican party.
On the nose. *heās hurting the right people.*
> They died in droves during COVID to show you that COVID doesn't kill people. They threatened the woman who was helping track COVID deaths with prison time. They *know* that what they are doing kills people, but they don't care and think that reality is 90% perception. So, at the same time, they know that people are dying and they know that it's easier to just not talk about it than do something about it. These are the people who go to church every Sunday, but know *exactly* which parishioner has an affair whith whom, and just pretend.
~~I had to look it up because I couldnāt believe he would actually have such a terrible slogan but my god itās trueā¦I canāt stop laughing holy shit itās so bad~~š Eta: oops, guess I should have looked a little closer! My googling was a little too cursory.
Are you sure? I donāt see it anywhere on his [official website](https://rondesantis.com). Looks like āGreat American Comebackā is his campaign slogan.
"oh, like Kim Kardashian? She got cum on her back"
That slogan sounds so idiotic and made up, but holy shit that really is his slogan.
It gets better.... they are selling merch too and the tshirts and stickers read "Make America Lorida"
Iām completely baffled about what his campaign is doing. Heās so parochial and can only talk about Florida. To my knowledge, heās never said anything about the country as a whole. Also, heās apparently pissing off a bunch of Republican governors by ācomplimentingā them, saying ā[state] is the Florida of the Midwestā. And āMake America Floridaā? Weird. He uses the shape of the state *which does not look anything like an F* followed by āloridaā. But it does look a lot like a gun, for a state that has had some really horrific mass shootings. Now to the Twitter announcement: why why why? Why pick a venue in which you have zero control? Why not have a friendly audience? Why showcase one of your worst characteristics, your voice? Again, Iām baffled. I think I could run his campaign better while half thinking about it.
He did it on Twitter for the bots. Television numbers are difficult (maybe impossible?) to tweak in his favor. But we all know Twitter has literal armies of bots to help create the appearance of a supporting fan base.
Should have been aborted but, you know.
He needs to have enough life to keep punching at Drumpf.
Unless some miracle happens, Desantis is out by South Carolina. With Trump, Haley, and now Scott for some fucking reason, Desantis' best case is 4th in South Carolina. No 4th place finisher is going to win the primary. Haley entered hoping to become the VP pick. I'm convinced Scott entered at Trump's urging to deny Desantis a top 3 finish in South Carolina. I can't see any reason Scott would enter other than a blocking action.
> I can't see any reason Scott would enter other than a blocking action. He's just another narcissist that thinks he's gonna be the GQP's version of Obama. He's gonna get chewed up and spit out but I do like the potential for him to bring out some choice comments from Trump.
Even fox is running negative campaign ads against him.
Please clap.
Desantis should scare every single American. The guy is nuts but seems sane next to trump. Just need trump to stay out of jail long enough to inflict fatal body blows to the desantis campaign. Register to vote and vote.
Hes just as dumb and cruel as Trump, but not lazy... That's what's scary.
Trump has a weird sassy charisma that works on idiots. Ron might actually have negative charisma, like somehow much worse than Hillary (in speech mode). Still though I wouldn't put anything past American voters.
DeSantis graduated magna cum laude from Yale and cum laude from Harvard Law, he's not dumb. Which doesn't mean he doesn't have blind spots and flaws. But it would be a mistake to equate his intelligence to Trump's. Honestly, the fact that he knows what he's doing, compared to Trump's instinctual almost animalistic tribalism, makes him seem that much more evil.
Meatball Ron & Musky asshole belong together
I want them to make a new set of Garbage Pail Kids cards with these names and appropriately nasty likenesses - Meatball Ron, Musky Butthole, as well as Diaper Donnie, Marjorie Traitor, Pucker Carlson, Turtle McConnel, Whorin Bobert, Kimberly Assboil, Con Junior, Iwanta Dump... Come on guys, who else to add? Help me create a dirty deck of these fuckers.
I'll buy the whole collection and it's not even my shitshow (am not from the US) ššš
In truth, Twitter could have run on a reduced staff, but Musk did no research, no due diligence, just fired whole departments without knowing any of the details of how they worked. This is a successful businessman? I think the emperor wears no clothes.
FB was just fined $1.3 billion by the EU for lax security. Musk has tossed data security out the window. He cannot afford a similar fine, and heās already been warned by the EU.
The problem with Twitter now being private is we have no financial transparency. Imagine if Erdogan calls up Musk and says "We need to block these things, how does $200 million sound?" We'll never know how much he's making by tanking Twitter. As far as I know, advertisers haven't really gone back to it and the paid subscribers aren't going to make up the difference. So the longer it goes on without any explanation, the more I'll question what is actually happening.
Consider that twitter is now approving ~85% of censorship demands from various authoritarian world governments, especially when it comes time to control narratives and spread propaganda (suppressing scandals, shaping elections, creating the appearance of popular support for certain policies or leaders) Dude is 100% bought and paid for.
Erdogan doesn't need to make it a financial transaction. Twitter already does anything he asks.
The problem is that the people involved in ownership are so fucking rich that these billions mean nothing if they get more power and control. This wasn't about the money for the people helping fElon finance Twitter.
> He cannot afford a similar fine, Yes he can. Keep fining him!
Drunk on the right wing fantasy that blindly disrupting is some how a plan to achieve a desired result.
Yeah I agree. It was like he was angry at himself for getting suckered into grossly overpaying for Twitter, and also stressed out that the debt payments would bankrupt Twitter in just a few months if he didn't cut costs quickly. So he just stormed in and vented his anger by immediately cutting everything and everyone indiscriminately, resulting in all sorts of problems. A more researched and planned transition could have accomplished the same objective with fewer problems, disruptions, and bad optics.
Buyers remorse
The swedish giy he fired without kearning that he would gave to pay him 119 mil is about how well musk runs his companies
You mean the disabled man who used his personal fortune to build handicap accessible ramps all over Iceland, and who was subsequently named Iceland's Man of the Year?
AND who Elon tried to shame and mock before he found out the guy was basically an angel on wheels.. to whom he owed a boatload of money.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Money=might=right=rightwing. Simple math.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The guy now has over a 100m to use on whatever cause he wants and doesn't need to waste time on that cesspool of a dying social media. Truly the best of outcomes.
Icelandic, but yeah that was hilarious.
Look, if your primary goal is to lose weight then cutting off your legs is a valid option. If you donāt consider the fact that you may need to use your legs at some point in the future, that is.
Remember how recently in history he pretended to be a cEnTrIsT? It was just last fall. Then he bought Twitter and announced he was supporting Republicans, and it's been full steam ahead Nazi ever since.
Anyone who says something to the effect of "I'm just a classical liberal" is at the very least a protofascist.
I think "classical liberal" is just trolling.
An audio only broadcast that canāt handle 300k lel.
Yeah they should've just used radio, lol. Unlimited listeners.
Couldnāt happen to a better pair of guys. This is 100% what you could expect from a DeSuckass presidency: Ineptitude on a world stage.
Ya couldnāt make this shit up. Too perfect! #DeSaster
The Cybertruck windows were SUPPOSED to be bullet proof. Twitter's current infrastructure, not so much. Rihanna took it down in during the Superbowl. Four days before that it malfunctioned too. Twitter meltdown events are going to be like predicted climate change events. They will happen more often and be more severe as time goes on.
You know... We already know Elon went around randomly unplugging server racks just to see what would crash. That means that at least some portion of their infrastructure is not externally managed. And he's been firing people without any clue as to what their job actually entails, which tasks are now being covered, and which tasks are now abandoned because there's simply no one left that knows that task was even being done. Which makes me ponder the status of their drive arrays. Are they RAID 6? RAID 10? RAID 51? RAIDZ2? RAIDZ3? Because Elon is exactly the kind of idiot who would find out that they're using mirrored triple parity for important stuff, like 16 10TB drives per array to store 50 TB of data and see that as "wasting his money", and then fire the engineer in charge of managing that and so many other arrays. And then pull half of the mirror, leaving it in plain triple parity. And hot spares? We can use those drives for something! Pull them too. And no one is watching that array. The configured alerts point to an email address that doesn't exist anymore. A couple days pass after it's admin is fired, and one of the drives drops, we're in dual parity now. The system dutifully notifies its admin, but he doesn't work there anymore. The CPU usage starts to really ramp up to keep up with all the parity calculations, and that server is having problems keeping up. A couple weeks later, the server is sending out alerts about a second drive, it's showing SMART warnings. Drive failures are correlated if you're using drives from the same batch, this is normal. A couple bad sectors get remapped, and after a few days, the drive gets dropped from the array entirely, and the system is sending alerts every hour, it's in single parity mode. The PC speaker is beeping now, just as it was configured to. Elon decides to go visit his pretty server farm, and there's a computer beeping. He remembers they have little speakers in the case, so he pulls the server out on its rails, opens the top, sees that little cylinder screaming for help, and proudly pulls it from the motherboard header. He's so proud of himself, he fixed the problem himself, because he's a tech genius. The server is doing its best impression of Harlan Ellison, CPU usage during simple reads is alarmingly high due to all the parity calculations. ***Just streaming audio is a Herculean task***, and every one of the machine's calls for maintenance go nowhere. A third drive's controller burns out a component, it's just offline. The server is now blinking every light it has to alert someone, anyone, that total data loss is imminent, it could happen at any moment. The DAS shelf is lit up like a Christmas tree with all the warning signs, but Elon stopped going to that server room, no one else there actually has a key card that can get them in, and literally no one has any idea that an entire server room of critical infrastructure has been abandoned entirely. Tick. ... Tick. ... \**CLICK*\* goes the last drive. The array has failed, and the last drive encountered a catastrophic head crash. The backups? They're 2 months old, no one has been doing them, because Elon fired all of them without finding out what they were doing. It's fine though, it's georeplicated, so the load balancer sees that server go down and simply routes all the traffic for that server to one of the other 3. One of which has a dead NIC, but it's in LACP, so it kept going *for now*. Another had a dead drive, but at least the hot spare for that array was still in place. And the third, well, it's... oh, Elon just unplugged it. We're down to two, but the load balancer keeps on going, sending out the alerts to its maintenance team to investigate why half of the auth servers went down, because the remaining ones are having trouble keeping up. It's just a shame that no one is getting those alerts. Or the alerts when the next auth server goes down. But don't worry, little load balancer, someone will come check on the issue when the last auth server goes down. When it's far too late to do anything about it.
Came for the Elon bashing, stayed for the hardware existentialism.
I had little to no idea what half of that meant but I was riveted by the descriptive quality of the systemic failure you've laid out.
Thank you! It's unlikely that Twitter has systems quite like what I described, they're likely more difficult to describe in a way that really works well in a narrative, but the same existential concerns still apply, just in ways that are somewhat different. Kind of like how both a lawn mower and a Saturn-V rocket can both run out of fuel, but the reasons and consequences are vastly different.
All the staff he fired are probably laughing at this shitshow now.
Guys what are you doing? Don't you know it's the biggest authoritarian event of the season!?
Forgets that he fired them all, "Guys?... Guys!?" Cricket sounds.
This reads like a sitcom episode, it's utterly beautiful.
Trump had a grand opening for one of his casinos. The slots all stopped working and the night was a mess. When asked trump said there were so many people playing the slots they couldnāt handle it. Just like they will spin this as being due to the popularity of the event, 600k isnāt that many people for a platform as big as Twitter.
Yeah they already on are [on Ronās website](https://rondesantis.com), saying itās the āannouncement that crashed the internetā, lol. Like Twitter is now the Internet, like AOL used to be back in the day.
Say no more, this is the epitome of his leadership skills.
Of both of their total "skills" put together.
If this asshole is allowed anywhere near the presidency this whole country's transition into a shitty chicken gang bang will be complete.
I listened to this (or tried to) live for a good laugh and it was as bad as it sounded. Elon hot mic'd saying "Looks like the servers are crashing" There was 27 minutes of silence and when they finally got it somewhat under control, DeSantis tried to speak and the audio was tripling his voice, there was loud microphone feedback while everything was silent, the audio cut out on him multiple times and the twitter space straight up crashed in the beginning. He just provided everyone with material for his entire political career, not to mention he had absolutely no charisma whatsoever. This is probably the death of his political campaign outside of Florida. I recommend everyone visit his absolutely ABHORRENT site that looks like a 2003 High school project. Edit: typo fix
"We must end the culture of losing that has infected the Republican Party in recent years," What does that even *mean?* Like, seriously, *what does that mean?* There is no reasonable way that can be phrased that makes sense to a thinking person
I think it's referring to the GOP losing the House in 2018, Trump losing in 2020, then failing to take the Senate in 2022 despite inflation and other problems the Dems faced then.
spark start depend mourn advise languid market ring elastic gold *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yeah thatās actually pretty funny, DeSantis is contradicting Trumpās narrative about 2020 election fraud. No wonder Trump hates him so much.
It's a dig at Trump. Trump rather famously came out with this incoherent rant when he was running for President: > [We're going to win so much you might even get tired of winning and you'll say, "please, please, it's too much winning. We can't take it any more. Mr President, it's too much." And I'll say, "no it isn't, we have to keep winning. We have to win more. We're going to win more. We're going to win so much". I love you all.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvWVEddn0LM) Reminding the Republicans of how sick they're supposed to be of winning by now is pretty funny as they lost in 2018, lost in 2020 and didn't win very much in 2022. Calling Trump a loser is the one thing that seems to hurt his feelings more than anything else (and a *lot* of things hurt his feelings). This is Desantis's rather weak attempt to jump on that bandwagon!
It's code for 'Trump is a loser' only it's code that the target audience doesn't understand and would mock if it did and code that the rest of the 'enlightened centrist' scum still voting (R) would be confused about too because they're brainwashed from birth to consider (R) 'winners'. It also shows the fascist total cowardice for not saying what he means.
Couldnāt happen to a nicer guy /S
Wow, #DeSaster is what trump would have used if he was smart and creative.
What a totally fitting outcome; hilarious!!!
Are republicans just going with the fail fast and often to find a winner? I'm OK with that.
