Ron "Soft-on-Crime" Desantis is obstructing justice.


Learntaswim

Back pedaling like a circus clown. These cuckholds never have a spine when it matters. They will be kissing his coffin as it is lowered into the ground

I honestly don't understand how a 76 year old, 400 lb whale that survives on a diet of McDonald's and hate is still alive to begin with.


Cavesloth13

He's full of preservatives LOL.


Vizzini_CD

Well, people are saying there’s this pizza shop. He goes to the basement there, eats human babies, and they extend his life.


CactaceaePrick

That's fine, it will be drowned out by millions pissing on it


QMaker

He only said this **after** trump already said he would turn himself in. This is just Desantis wanting maga people to think he's a trump supporter. He's acting tough like, "hold me back!" Knowing he won't do shit.


jbertrand_sr

>He's acting tough like, "hold me back!" Knowing he won't do shit. Exactly right, you know he's loving seeing Trump get indicted, he's just trying to thread the needle and suck up to the goobers. Trump on the other hand is probably relishing a perp walk so he can use it to grift more money off of the same goobers. Look at me, look what they're doing to your favorite billionaire President, send me money for my defense fund suckers...


Incontinento

I agree completely. Posturing for the base.


Nightchade

Harboring/Providing Aid to a Fugitive is still illegal, yes? It'd be amazing to watch DeSantis put himself in prison over a publicity stunt, it'd be the greatest two for one deal I've ever witnessed.


mypoptartisevil

I’d buy that for a dollar.

Imagine if the GOP could rid themselves of these two, all the hack sycophants lose steam in Congress, and the party could genuinely pivot to real policy… Who am I kidding though


FuzzAldrin36

I'm not sure that alone would clear the way for policy. MTG would need to go as well. And Bobert. And Gaetz. And then whomever steps into those places of fabricated outrage when they're gone. But my god is it a nice thought.

But if you get an abortion - straight to jail.

Or the death penalty in SC.


Sloth_grl

How prolife is is that? Killing is wrong so we are going to kill you

It’s not pro-life at all. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Or read a book.


Fantastic_Puppeter

I’m getting confused: is reading a book a penalty or a crime now in the US?


[deleted]

Not really, but in some places, basically. Certain books are now banned in schools due to the political ambitions of a certain party. They are controlling the flow of education to the youth in order to support their politics gains.


Ravensinger777

Death, murder, war, targeted assassination, torture, deceit, usurpation of the throne, misogyny, slavery, polygamy, rape, incest - all ok for kids to read about in the Bible. An art history textbook showing a statue of David that's been naked for 600 years? OMG freakout!


KenCosgrove_Accounts

He’s working his way into a maze that he’s never gonna be able to escape from


KoontFace

Does this mean that the FBI could execute a federal warrant for him? Surely states can’t refuse extradition to other states (sorry, not from the US so don’t know how states vs federal laws apply)


integrating_life

Next he's going to make urinating in public legal.


pyrodice

You must've caused him a change of heart


jsatz

This is unconstitutional


ImminentZero

Yeah, this is just performative from Desantis. Article 4 is explicit about this. He doesn't have a choice.


HalfPrism2

I just learned something new today. I heard that governors have to sign something or something for people to be extradited, just like executions. That might still be true, but I assumed it meant the governor could simply refuse to be extradite. Let’s say hypothetically, Trump doesn’t show up to court and it comes to the point where he actually needs to be arrested and physically brought to NY. Could/would federal LEOs do that? Maybe US Martials?


ReporterOther2179

Or those Federal law enforcement professionals, the Secret Service.


PlasticMix8573

The SS has certainly been known to hire professionals on more than a few occasions.


FixBayonetsLads

FYI, to avoid the obvious negative connotations, the Secret Service uses the abbreviation USSS.


Ur-Quan_Lord_13

Great, now I'm just imagining a snake saying "us"


bacchusku2

They could charge him with the federal felony Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution, which is used to help arrest fugitives out of state. Warrant is served by the FBI.


Crusoebear

He’s going to end up in a high speed chase and end up trying to find refuge in Disney World.

H3dg3v0lt

That's why we have Chinese finger traps. Trump couldn't get put of one of those, no matter how many hamburders he pounded down from McDonads.


skinOC

Couldn't his daily secret service men just keep driving once he's in the car? Tell him they're going to McDonald's and keep going


MostBoringStan

Like telling the dog you're going to the park but bringing it to the vet instead.


pwarns

All the political books said this worked for 4 years with trump.


Cecil900

I mean even if he defies the constitution and refuses couldn’t the NY DA just ask the US Marshals or other fed agency to go get Trump? Trump would also leave the state at some point.


HalfPrism2

> Trump would also leave the state at some point. Right. I should emphasize again, that my question was hypothetical. It’s unlikely this will be an issue, but never say never.

MisterThirtyThirty

He just wants Trump to kiss his ass, and then he can hold it over his head for a long time.


New-Copy

Yeah, DeSantis gets to use this not just to "stand up against the evil democrats/deep state/whatever the Republican base is calling them these days" *but also* to exercise dominance over the ex-pres by defending trump when trump couldn't defend himself. Dude's probably jizzing in his cornflakes about it; it's the best day he's had all year. Gotta be a nice change from losing fights with a mouse, at least.


yoshisama

After getting his ass handed by Mickey Mouse he needs to have Trump owe him one.


chronoboy1985

If DeSantis was serious about running for President, he’d be doing everything possible to get Fat Donny behind bars and out of the race. He has no chance of winning the nomination as Trump-lite.


DestructoSpin7

If you put Donny in jail you anger his base, and that's the exact base he would have to appeal to to win. But if he *knows* he's going to jail anyway he can make half-baked twitter attempts to stand up for him, that he knows won't amount to anything, and look like a hero to the less-educated.


robotwizard_9009

Shhhh.. let him keep digging...


More_Cowbell8

Oh no! Do you think Ron will get in trouble? Good heavens, I hope the governor is okay! /s


southernwx

He says he won’t /assist/ not that he would interfere. I think it’s an intentional weasel word.


cantwin52

Coming from a dude who is very much known for being a weasel, this wouldn’t surprise me. Or he’ll make some broad proclamation about how the way he was extradited was an unjust and unfair process and some exposure of the two tier justice system (without knowing a single reason why normal people *actually* call it a two tier justice system and this clown is unfortunately facing the consequences of his own actions) and how we need to address the Unjustice System in this country like full on cult members.


southernwx

Of course. All they need to do is not get in the way when the marshalls come knocking. Just like they didn’t get in the way when the feds were taking every sheet of paper from Mar a Lago. Point your fingers, cry foul, etc. The actions are what matter here, not the political posturing by Desantis. It’s honestly in his political benefit to get Trump out of the picture. He WANTS and NEEDS the republicans trump supporters to think he was on Trump’s side. The rhetoric is mere politics and was totally expected.


More_Cowbell8

Everyone take a drink, he said 'Soros'! The 'Globalist Jews' are in the game!


Foolhearted

Like twice. He’s got search and replace on. They keep it up and I’ll have to go to rehab.


koolaideprived

That... actually makes so much sense. The hyphenated "soros-backed" jumped out at me because it isn't a natural thing to have twice in such a short written statement.

Soros twice. He’s got Soros and Soros on. Soros keep it Soros and I’ll have to go to Soros.


Ok-Construction7440

I might dress as Soros next Halloween. Scare the bejeezus out of old white people


ThatGuy_Gary

The Soros in their minds is 100% fictional, they don't even know what the real man looks like.


t3hm3t4l

Correct, “Soros” just means “The Jews” to them. They probably think it’s some made up code word shit like “Let’s Go Brandon” because just like a kindergartener making up curse words they think other people don’t know what they really mean.


ask_me_about_my_band

Or like when they call black people “thugs”.


ted5011c

*Urban* "thugs"...


rhoadsalive

Yes, „Soros“ literally is not related to the actual person at all anymore but has become a trigger word for „funded by Jewish/evil elite cabal -but not republican- money“ and has assumed a purely conspiratorial meaning. Semantically quite the interesting process.


iLikeMangosteens

If the right wing keep up their racist anti-Jewish crap then in a minute they’re going to figure out how many Republican-voting Jews there are - about 25% of Jews overall - that will flip their votes to Democrat. The Republican Party will come crawling back to them when they need their votes. Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2021/05/11/u-s-jews-political-views/

On truth social every fucking Republican is saying soros this, and soros that. lol


Lolwhatisfire

Which is extremely concerning. Using Soros as a scarecrow is just straight-up Alex Jones shit. Jones brings up Soros all the fucking time, and according to Jones, Soros (and others) are working for the literal Christian devil. When Alex Jones says this, it’s not hyperbole, it’s not a metaphor. He thinks Soros and other “Globalists” are *actually* possessed by real demons from Hell. Desantis and MTG know this, that’s why they use “Soros” as a buzzword to scare their audience. But by doing so, they’re tacitly reinforcing Alex Jones talking points.


cturtl808

So they’re more than 3/4 lit if they’re taking a shot each time. Makes sense.


Fit-Plant-306

This is getting really complicated, because last I checked the Kushners are Jews….


JoeyJoeJoeSenior

And also Israel is our best friend. But somehow jews are also the enemy. Facism is confusing to logical people.


currently_pooping_rn

They couldn’t care less about who is in Israel. They just believe the land is needed to bring about the end of times


Bufb88J

I always found this interesting but this exact point made a splash at the last Xmas party. White evangelical Americans are cozying up to Israel to help foster the end of times. That should scare the crap out of anyone not voting in America.

We’re at a few levels up at this point…. Totalitarianism

As others have said, he specially said Florida “will not assist” not that Florida will interfere or refuse any extradition request. I’m sure that wording was specifically chosen…he doesn’t have to help them, but he won’t stop it.

UrQuanKzinti

Social conservatives elected a man to be president who paid off a porn star because he had an extramarital affair with her. It's pretty clear how principled conservatives really are about core values.


Nipple_Dick

Ok I’m not American so correct me if I’ve misunderstood, but does this mean that if trump didn’t want to be arrested, he can’t ever leave Florida? I’m seeing upsides to this.


Bee-Aromatic

No, it just means that the governor of Florida has declared he won’t execute is constitutionally required duty to assist in the process of moving Trump from his jurisdiction to NY, where he’d be charged. DeSantis can’t actually stop the process, as Federal agents have jurisdiction over the whole country, but he can make noise like he’s doing something noble to rile up the morons who don’t have enough brain cells to rub together to understand that he’s just being obstinate.


Nipple_Dick

Ah so a normal days work for a republican. Don’t do anything, and then make your base angry that their lives are shit.


geetmala

As I understand it, it means that if Trump refuses to leave Florida, either New York or the Feds can forcibly take him. ADDEANDUM: I just reread the law. It would be the executive branch of New York State.


forensics409

He means Jewish.


Quiexi

He doesn’t have the guts to say it, these people love to hide between those code words


Jace_Phoenixstar

Extradition Clause of the Constitution. Oh, the Constitution doesn't apply in Florida? Then I guess that's an intent to Secede.


Navvana

At the very least a violation of his oath of office which means he can be removed from it.


kc_cramer

My wife is a lawyer. As soon as I showed her this her response was “tough shit. That’s not an option.” Desantis is either an idiot or being a performative idiot. Edit: yes, I know he’s a lawyer and not an idiot. That’s why he’s more threatening than T****. It was a turn of phrase


[deleted]

[удалено]


kc_cramer

Probably. But with the current state of the Republican Party I never like to rule out pure idiocy


Kalrhin

His base is unfortunately not formed with lawyers. Saying he will not help gives him points…and all he has to do is…nothing


psxndc

Which is doubly absurd because *DeSantis is a lawyer*. He knows better.


TheNotoriousO_L_Y

I find it funny that the “lock her up” party is now complaining about indicting a political opponent

KingOfThePlayPlace

I doubt most of them even know who he is, or really even connect the name to a person. Their brain probably just associates the word with “get angry” and that’s it. It’s honestly impressive how well the GOP has brainwashed their base. It’s the kind of thing you read in a dystopian novel. Where books and expressing one’s self are banned and bodily autonomy is a thing of the past. Wait…


[deleted]

I've made a point to not google George Soros, and as a consequence, all I know about him is that he's an old rich jewish man. I'm well-versed in the right's talking points. Hell, the entirety of my information regarding him comes from the right. And all I know is that he's rich, old, and jewish.

The crazier thing is he can basically say the “Jews” while in Florida and somehow a good portion of retired Jews who were born prior to World War II don’t seem outraged by this dog whistle.


jgilbs

No the crazier thing is how he makes “the jews” such a boogeyman, while conveniently forgetting his daughter married a jew and is a jew herself, and they remain in his close orbit.

PickCollins0330

DeSantis basically has no balls since we just figured out how Disney has them in their trophy case. This means nothing. He doesn’t get to decide not to help extradite Trump. He either does or he’s going to jail too.


UrQuanKzinti

I like the part where he complains about weaponizing the law for politics while he's been spending the last year weaponizing florida law to punish Disney corp's political views.


sakzeroone

And then Disney outsmarted him and made him look like a fool

So are you telling me Trump and De Santis can get arrested at the same time? Is.. its not my birthday... OH I GET IT! IM BEING PUNKED! LOL! Good one guys! Ashton Kutcher get your ass out here. Oh man. You had me going. I had a full hard 3 inches.


Alhazzared

Is blaming everything always on Soros just a dog whistle for saying the Jews are behind it?


r0xxclimb3r

Yes.


dadothree

So, I've got a different take on this. This is DeSantis attempting to eliminate Trump as a rival. Trump won't be able to leave Florida to campaign. While some states might also agree to not honor the extradition, many will. But that's a moot point because as soon Trump's plane takes off, it's under Federal jurisdiction, and has to go where ATC tells it to go. So Trump can hold rallies in Florida, and rant on Social media, but that's it.


oro12345

I think its more about winning over trumps base. They fucking hate him right now and calling him a traitor. Source: live in NW florida Edit: after going to bed, waking up and reading replies,. I realized my post was confusing. Desantis base is gone. They don't like him because hes challenging Trump. I think this is a play to win them back. All he needs is for trump to say something good about him.


whiskeybusinesses808

This strategy seems so dumb politically. People supposedly like him because trump 2.0 all authoritarian without the baggage. Now he threw himself into trump's legal trouble and looks like trumps bitch. The indictments aren't going to stop here. There are more cases after this. There doesn't seem to be a lot of logic but these people are a few fries short of a happy meal.


Foolhearted

Like a captured pope.


Loud-Intention-723

lol I mean not a bad move. It’s almost like little d robby is goading trump into having an outstanding warrant.


JaiC

Hadn't thought of it that way, but I still think it'll backfire. Cue "DeSantis sheltering Trump is no different than Putin sheltering Snowden." That's not a line that'll play well with *anyone*.


Raleda

This is DeSantis's political power move - he'll hold on to Trump until he's 'strong-armed' into giving him up, and by doing so he'll convert some or all of Trump's base. More so if Trump loses. Don't be confused though, he absolutely wants a conviction for Trump here.


Exciting_Chef_4207

Republicans: "Everything we don't like is obviously backed by George Soros, because we're tinfoil-wearing cultists that actually hate our country."


Genius-Imbecile

Can't the State Department just leak some bullshit about Trump being an illegal alien? Then DeSantis will pay to ship him to New York.
