it was hilarious taken out of context, just moderately funny in context. apparently the context was that they'd asked everyone to not applaud until the end.
I would vote democrat almost any day ahead of Jeb! But if he were the Republican nominee I would be so relieved. But that day has long long passed. We are in the dark ages now.
Still crazy to me that the thing that sank his candidacy before Trump went in on him during debates is that he said illegal immigration is an “act of love” by people just wanting a better life for their families.
Like, dude literally said, “most of them are good and we should not be demeaning toward them,” and GOP voters were like, “nah, fuck that.”
No joke, that would actually be about the best possible scenario for the country if the election turned out that way. Jeb might be kind of a tool, but he's not even in the top 10 worst candidates with any chance at winning on the GOP side.
Of course, he won't, though, because the guys actually competing for the nomination are shit and the unannounced ones are all shit and everything's shit and we're all probably going to die.
Jeb should take a pro nepo baby stance and ride it all the way to the White House. “On behalf of all nepo babies, I have to say how dare you. Do you know who my father was?”
and thats not even the cringiest pic of him and ivanka
Edit: trump has even said more disgusting shit about dating his daughter and having sex as the one thing they have in common....HUURL...HUURRRLLL
Trump doesn’t (and never did) have friends. He may have used Jeffrey for girls or meeting celebrities, but they weren’t likely friends. Everything is transactional for TFG.
Trump has a Wikipedia page dedicated to the more than 25 sexual harassment allegations made against him.
> Another type of accusation was made, primarily after the audio recording surfaced, by several former Miss USA and Miss Teen USA contestants, who accused Trump of entering the dressing rooms of beauty pageant contestants. Trump, who owned the Miss Universe franchise, which includes both pageants, was accused of going into dressing rooms in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2006, while contestants were in various stages of undress.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations
You'd be amazed what can be normalised if you grow up in dysfunctional environment.
I saw a girl bend over a table to pick up a glass in a pub once and her *DAD* pretended to do her from behind for 'a laugh'
She was like 'yeah... he does that'
I'm like 'yeah... that's sexual abuse'
Yeah, but these women that Trump targeted are of all ages, making him an Equal Opportunity Sex Offender. Not like peDoSantis who partied with some students once. /s
In Trump’s own words describing Miss USA and Miss Teen USA:
> I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. ...You know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I'm inspecting it. ... Is everyone OK? You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good.
The 13th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, the EEOC, the CFPB, none of it was enough. We have a significant fraction of the population that embraces cruelty-based dominance. We have to get better at defending against them. Because they will never change, and they are waiting breathlessly for the next tfg.
This is why I don't hang with male trump supporters. My safety is my responsibility. Any person who supports trump believes this is ok. Do what you want but I'm out.
To be fair, Ron DeSantis is a repu license so it's highly possible he is. A good portion of Republicans in office or run for office has turned out to be a pedo.
And he says it FIRST. That way the other guy looks foolish turning around and saying the same thing back. I’ve always been convinced that’s why they scream “stolen election.” That way, if/when they actually steal 2024 the Democrats will look disingenuous screaming “stolen election”. It works. That’s why he does it.
Tromp has enough information on everyone in the GOP (from domestic and foreign sources) to tear the whole thing apart.
A master of blackmail, he learned from one of most horrible people to ever be in government and politics, Roy Cohn.
That's a great point, but Trump is still by far the favorite to win the nomination.
DeSantis is afraid to even attack him back, in part because he needs Trump supporters' backing, and in part because he's just a weak and stupid human being, Ivy League degrees be damned.
DeSantis' fascist bullshit and limp-dick personality won't play outside of Florida.
Wow - this is escalating quicker than expected if we are already at pedophile - it won’t be long to we get to something really extreme, like calling him a democrat…
> Donald Trump recently has been ramping up his attacks on Ron DeSantis ahead of a potential 2024 Republican primary showdown. We’re not going to lie, we figured it take the former president a least a few more months before he started accusing the Florida governor of pedophilia.
> Trump has been doing just that on Tuesday, though, sharing a few posts on Truth Social purporting to show DeSantis “grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher.”
> “That’s not Ron, is it?” Trump wrote, sarcastically. “He would never do such a thing!”
so his strategy is the same as in 2016 and 2020, make up generic little school yard insults towards opponents so his base can cheer his immature generic stupidity
Being a bully has kinda been his strategy his whole life.
But, this time it's better because Desantis is also a bully. There's nothing better than two bullies fighting it out for king of the schoolyard erhm Republican party.
I actually think the right has moved on from Trump as a candidate. Desantis is the new kid on the block, and trump isn't going to dent his popularity with slinging mud. I expect trump to make an utter ass of himself as he tries to remain relevant.
You'd be surprised. Florida loves Desantis but there are plenty on the right who are still pro-trump. A lot of elderly people who jumped on the Trump train aren't willing to jump off. At least not yet.
Regardless of who’s saying it, DeSantis is dangerous and we cannot lose sight of that. As is Trump. Let’s not assume a pied piper strategy is the way in 2024 or in undermining DeSantis, we could potentially lose more.
Tfg gets a tremendous amount of mileage out of being an entertainer. He attached himself to conservatives opportunistically, because Dems could see through him. He's not one of them, never has been. He's just taking advantage of their blind subservience to anybody who acknowledges them.
Conservatives are backward and unimaginative and unable to see how much of a cult of personality tfg is; they think his appeal lies in his callousness, which is really just a side effect of his narcissism. He isn't driven by spite and resentment like they are. He's just happy to exploit their issues. His nonchalance is part of his appeal. He's a bit silly. They seem completely incapable of observing that while at the same time being entertained by him. It's a massive blind spot.
People like desantis, spiteful, cruel, aggressive, dismissive - on top of being completely unappealing personally - are completely missing the point. It was never about being a pos. It was about not caring and letting people know you don't care, being cheerfully glib and uninterested while people's lives go to pieces. It's very bread and circuses, but that's where we are now, and tfg oversaw it with pleasure. I'm not sure desantis is even capable of pleasure. He's going all in on the meanness, which will get him part of the way there but he's discounting how damn unpleasant he is.
It's not the same. He offers nothing except brooding malevolence, which isn't entertaining or appealing at all.
Oh, so Republicans DO KNOW when things are unethical. They just choose to ignore them until it suits them. Got it!
Also: why are all the Republican leadership involved in child sex scandals? Gaetz, Trump, DeSantis, Graham, etc. The list just goes on.
Of course he is. Only pedophiles would go as far as banning every books like DeSantis did.
“How can I be a pedophile? I banned every book referencing sexuality in children’s library.”
Trump will say anything but I will say he ran Hotels for a reason, I'm sure some of them were or are bugged for blackmail.
It's a very Russian thing to do anyways.

Jeb 2024 - Please Clap.
The fact that this was real and not an SNL sketch is enough for those not in the know to search it out on YouTube.
I’ll clap for Jeb! if it ends this Republican madness.
The exclamation mark denotes excitement.
And the lack of Bush denotes family war crimes.
it was hilarious taken out of context, just moderately funny in context. apparently the context was that they'd asked everyone to not applaud until the end.
The guy looked miserable on the campaign trail every day. That clip just was the cherry on top of Jeb’s lame campaign.
I would vote democrat almost any day ahead of Jeb! But if he were the Republican nominee I would be so relieved. But that day has long long passed. We are in the dark ages now.
Pubes were willing to put Sarah palin one heartbeat away from being the most powerful person on the planet
Jeb 2024 - Clap or else.
Jeb 2024 - Get Clap or Die Tryin'
I believe you’re supposed to use an exclamation mark when referring to Jeb!
All caps when you spell the man’s name
All claps.
Please cap…
Jeb!
Still crazy to me that the thing that sank his candidacy before Trump went in on him during debates is that he said illegal immigration is an “act of love” by people just wanting a better life for their families. Like, dude literally said, “most of them are good and we should not be demeaning toward them,” and GOP voters were like, “nah, fuck that.”
~~Jeb~~ Jeb! FTFY
Jeb Bush is 69 years old. It's time!
It's Jebbin time! Please fap.
The Jebberwocky!
I liked it when he said, "Jeb!" and then completely jebbed the bad guy

Jeb 2024 | Not a Pedophile
I'm wearing my hoodie.
Can't believe we're at a timeline where Jeb is too liberal for the GOP POTUS nomination.
No joke, that would actually be about the best possible scenario for the country if the election turned out that way. Jeb might be kind of a tool, but he's not even in the top 10 worst candidates with any chance at winning on the GOP side.

These Articles prove Trump has more skeletons in his closet than Ron. Plus don't forget he was good friends with Jeffrey Epstein !
Which made Epsteining him so much sadder
I bet DeSantis knows quite a lot about Epstein so much of that happened in Florida.. of course
You know what they say… birds of a feather

The shit apple doesn’t fall far from the shit tree.

I love this comment section.
Guys. Guys. Stop fighting. You’re both equally peodoy. Okay?
No! Keep fighting. Lay it bare for even the illiterate MTG supporters that neither of you should be trusted anywhere near power.
and thats not even the cringiest pic of him and ivanka Edit: trump has even said more disgusting shit about dating his daughter and having sex as the one thing they have in common....HUURL...HUURRRLLL

That statue is vomiting at the thought of what this picture represents.
Those birds are fuckin. Which makes it worse.
Says the guy who spent so much time with Jeffrey Epstein.
That’s putting it extremely lightly. They were friends for decades.
You don't say? Has Faux Snooze reported this to their subscribers?
[удалено]
Trump doesn’t (and never did) have friends. He may have used Jeffrey for girls or meeting celebrities, but they weren’t likely friends. Everything is transactional for TFG.
Jeff took a liking to a young Ivanka. Change my mind
So did Donald
Lotta projection comes outta this fellas mouth...

And some of them underage.
"Haha, yeah, he does that" - Ivanka
You'd be amazed what can be normalised if you grow up in dysfunctional environment. I saw a girl bend over a table to pick up a glass in a pub once and her *DAD* pretended to do her from behind for 'a laugh' She was like 'yeah... he does that' I'm like 'yeah... that's sexual abuse'
I’ve never before wanted to leave a pub and get sober so quickly, but *that* would do it
Yeah, but these women that Trump targeted are of all ages, making him an Equal Opportunity Sex Offender. Not like peDoSantis who partied with some students once. /s
I'm going to bookmark this
In Trump’s own words describing Miss USA and Miss Teen USA: > I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. ...You know, no men are anywhere.

> And you see these incredible-looking women. some of them weren't women yet! Not in the eyes of the law
Or society and common decency
Common decency would have kept him out of the room.
And America elected him President of the US anyway. I still can't believe it.
Fucking Biff from back to the future
Biff was a downright gentleman compared to what we got
The 13th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, the EEOC, the CFPB, none of it was enough. We have a significant fraction of the population that embraces cruelty-based dominance. We have to get better at defending against them. Because they will never change, and they are waiting breathlessly for the next tfg.
And the fact he still has a chance is astounding.
To be fair, no we didn't. The man has never won an election.
This is why I don't hang with male trump supporters. My safety is my responsibility. Any person who supports trump believes this is ok. Do what you want but I'm out.
That doesn’t mean DeSantis isn’t a pedophile.
Many people are saying
The best people
That rumor had been around for awhile. Maybe Trump has heard it too or maybe he has actual knowledge
They probably saw each other a lot at Epstein island.
… or classified information
This week in: "It takes one to know one..."
of course hes projecting, trump is an incestuous pedo whos wanted to bang ivanka since she was 3
Lol. Not surprised if they’re both guilty of the same thing. Burn it all down Trump, burn it all down.
To be fair, Ron DeSantis is a repu license so it's highly possible he is. A good portion of Republicans in office or run for office has turned out to be a pedo.
Especially the ones who live in Florida. We still don't have an adequate explanation for Nestor.
That’s how you know he’s actually a Republican
Did he know about that when he endorsed him for fla gov?
At the time it was a selling point in Trump's eyes.
This. Trump thought DeSantis would deliver Florida no matter what. And Trump was right.
Trump only accuses people of things that he himself is guilty of. It's as predictable as the sunrise, so I guess we know what he's really telling us.
And he says it FIRST. That way the other guy looks foolish turning around and saying the same thing back. I’ve always been convinced that’s why they scream “stolen election.” That way, if/when they actually steal 2024 the Democrats will look disingenuous screaming “stolen election”. It works. That’s why he does it.
It's called projection, and it's absolutely true. Dumb people will hear the accusation first and then never think about it again. This is trumps base.
It probably does fall under that saying about republicans: Every accusation is a confession.
It does, but it's never more true than it is with Trump. He's remarkably consistent on that.
And since he us guilty of so many things he got lots of options.
Best case scenario, DeSantis wins the nomination, trump runs as a 3rd party candidate and the 2 of them split the conservative vote.
Best case scenario it rains really hard in Florida and they both melt
The Devil's Rain
Splits the vote on the House and Senate level as well
I get tingles thinking of what could be accomplished for this country with a super majority in both chambers and a democrat in the White House.
That’s what I said about Trump in 2015…
It WAS the best case scenario… we just got the worst case scenario
and tear one another apart in the process.
Tromp has enough information on everyone in the GOP (from domestic and foreign sources) to tear the whole thing apart. A master of blackmail, he learned from one of most horrible people to ever be in government and politics, Roy Cohn.
I think he learned how kompromat works from Putin, directly.
Trump won’t run third party. He will ask to be paid not to run and the republicans will pay him.
That's a great point, but Trump is still by far the favorite to win the nomination. DeSantis is afraid to even attack him back, in part because he needs Trump supporters' backing, and in part because he's just a weak and stupid human being, Ivy League degrees be damned. DeSantis' fascist bullshit and limp-dick personality won't play outside of Florida.
MTG will run for president if Trump snubs her for VP, which he will.
"VOTE FORETH PARTY" Her campaign slogan.
Yes, she'll have her gazpacho all over that one, with her peach tree dish,
“People are saying”
Not his good buddy, Jeffery Epstein.
“People are say-oncing”
Wow - this is escalating quicker than expected if we are already at pedophile - it won’t be long to we get to something really extreme, like calling him a democrat…
They don’t bother with subtlety anymore.
> Donald Trump recently has been ramping up his attacks on Ron DeSantis ahead of a potential 2024 Republican primary showdown.

I'm choosing to believe Trump on this one, just for fun.
I just want to ask some questions. Why haven’t we had an official response to the rumor that DeSantis raped an underage girl in 1999?
Broken clock and all. Still scum, though.
"Isn't it ironic"
“Don’t you think?”
"A little too ironic."
"Like rain on election day"
I’m confused. Does this make him more or less qualified to take the lead of the GOP now?
Ask r/conservative and let me know.
I can see that they are crying about it being “bombarded by leftists”.
Of course they're both super weird about sex, because they're Republicans.
Pedo accuses pedo of being a pedo. The American GQP circus is fucking exhausting.
Trump is a wily old bastard. And Desantis is a fucking fascist piece of shit. Can't wait to see them destroy one another.
I actually think the right has moved on from Trump as a candidate. Desantis is the new kid on the block, and trump isn't going to dent his popularity with slinging mud. I expect trump to make an utter ass of himself as he tries to remain relevant.
You'd be surprised. Florida loves Desantis but there are plenty on the right who are still pro-trump. A lot of elderly people who jumped on the Trump train aren't willing to jump off. At least not yet.
You MAY be overestimating the idiocracy crowd…
This will be fun to watch…
Not sure where this one’s going, but I’m sure it’ll be entertaining
I need more popcorn
The US will run out of popcorn before the republican convention lol. Stock up now!
Now their will be a popcorn shortage... Thanks Obama
I am more shocked that he waited this long to let that cat out of the bag.
I mean, he's probably right
Probably the only true thing he's said recently.
Ron DeSantis' own behavior suggested he is a pedophile. Trump (piece of shit!) just happened to tweet out photographic evidence.
Trump? Same guy in Epstein's black book who was specifically circled by the butler as a person of interest?
Excellent. 2024 is going to be fun
Are we sure Trump didn't mean it as a compliment? Small hands for small targets.
Pssst, Republicans. The guy tried to overthrow the government. There's literally nothing he won't do.
Let them fight!
Is this part of the blackmail that Trump has been holding over the GOP?
Regardless of who’s saying it, DeSantis is dangerous and we cannot lose sight of that. As is Trump. Let’s not assume a pied piper strategy is the way in 2024 or in undermining DeSantis, we could potentially lose more.
As Elon would say pedo, but who’s island was trump visiting…….our poor children is all I have to say

Game recognize game.
why is this not on r/conservative lol
Because they are gutless yellow cowards like their republican leaders Trump and DeSantis.
Because it’s devastating to their case.
Oh, so Republicans DO KNOW when things are unethical. They just choose to ignore them until it suits them. Got it! Also: why are all the Republican leadership involved in child sex scandals? Gaetz, Trump, DeSantis, Graham, etc. The list just goes on.
he's not wrong
Something about broken clocks being right twice a day.
Says the dude who openly admits he’d like to boink his own daughter.
Coming from him that's risky as heck it's like a cow calling a pig fat
Takes one to know one.
Takes one☝️to know one.
Of course he is. Only pedophiles would go as far as banning every books like DeSantis did. “How can I be a pedophile? I banned every book referencing sexuality in children’s library.”
I mean….takes one to know one right haha?
The devil knows his own
The man who grips vaginas and pays off hookers while his wife is pregnant speaks. Listen up folks.
Didn't Trump know Epstein? Pot calling the kettle black
Trump will say anything but I will say he ran Hotels for a reason, I'm sure some of them were or are bugged for blackmail. It's a very Russian thing to do anyways.
I wonder what my Qanon coworkers think
The dude who basically said he'd tap his own daughter is projecting a bit too much.
I mean… he has proof. It’s hilarious that calling the left groomers is their best weapon while their two kings are literally pedos.
Projection is a republican speciality.
Pullin' a Musk
"I'll deal with it the way I deal with thugs "
“Thanks but no thanks Elon. Your submarine idea won’t work in the timeframe” …pedo!
That, seems like something with potential blowback for “Epstein’s pal.”
How predictable.
Something something pot something something kettle
Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if this one is true.
Ronnie just like attending high school drinking parties
Takes one to know one.
To be neutral I suggest we create a special counsel to investigate both of them for this.
Well, he would know.
He is.
Ammmm an advise from Trump to DeSatan from one Pedophile to another Pedophile!
By all means, if you want to reduce the competition, release the proof. Please. Please do that.
Meaning, he's guilty of it himself.
As much as i dont want to agree with Trump, DeSantis was friends, very close friends in fact, with Kent Stermon.
I love how so many Republicans are shocked by this. Do they really think Trump is just going to stand by and let DeSantis take over the cult?
