If a tree falls in the forest and squishes Ron DeSantis, does anybody care?

It’s a sign that his gawd hates him.

The pathetic thing is, he probably THINKS he was saying something that connected him with the people. In his head his message was probably, “Look, if a tree grazing a small portion of this governmnet provided opulent house with no real risk to anyone inside is the worst that I had to deal with, then I count myself lucky. Real Floridians are dealing with far worse consequences, so let’s not focus on what is a non-problem for me and focus on getting help to those who need it.”

But he’s not capable of actually conveying that message in any sort of human, empathetic way.

So many ways he could have said something like “Fortunately, it turns out no damage was done” but no, he had to prattle on like he did.
He’s like some guy bragging about himself at a bar and you’re looking around to find yourself a new seat away from his noise.

Once DeSepsis is not governor, his opinions about the Governor’s mansion will matter less than they do now.

He is such an unlikable dick.

I hope his kids like baseball, or they are probably going to be super pressured to play it.

it’s ok, y’all. the tree only fell on the new addition to the guv mansion: the virtual golf installation.

ETA: i have no real idea where or if a tee fell on the guv mansion.

… or his attempt to get Floridians to look on the bright side. Your place totally destroyed? Think of the new space you can do things with! :wink:

Did he just mansplain gravity and/or the concept of a residence? At least she never corrected his pronunciation of Thai food.

His wife Casey would care about that… and fret over what to do with all the Jackie Kennedy knockoffs she’s been cos-playing in.

That guy in the bar who claims he was in special forces… (as a legal advisor.) :smile:

Disagreeing with his wife who literally attached a picture.

I’m eagerly looking to see how the end of this storm goes for him, politically. Biden made aid available early, shortly after DeSantis declared an emergency, and without DeSantis asking for it. He needs the aid. Does he…

  • Accept the aid and have GOP label him as weak (see Christy’s Obama hug)
  • Deny the aid and have the one of the most GOP heavy areas turn on him like patrons at a Golden Corral when the chocolate fountain turns on.

yeah. remember how governor go-go boots sulked when Biden visited Fort Meyers after Ian.

desantis didn’t look good after that one - and he tried to be visible this time to be out front of it - but he fails again!
he will try to sound tough on “sOcIaLiSt GoVeRnMeNt MoNeY!” … but he will beg for relief.

“Mmmm socialism” he said.

Unca Joe should bring one of those giant “billboard” checks like lottery winners pose with…

For this latest storm, yes, yes, yes, and – being ‘sayin’ it like it is Unca Joe – make use of this bully pulpit to mention a thing or two about Florida’s Rick Scott, then throw in the rest of the GOP for good measure.
