I never noticed that Ron DeSantis is short until footage emerged of his weird shoes and the even-weirder gait he has wearing them. The shoes look like medieval poulaines and his gait resembles that…

        You think pointing out the dumb hypocrisy of those talking points and lack of principles of those espousing them legitimises them?

      This is what Putin does too.

      The state of US politics, with the GOP in particular, has devolved into a clown show of 3rd world proportions.

      That would make them an abomination against Christendom, as it’s provable from Einstein’s field equations that men wear these clothes and women wear those clothes.

      Ironically you could make a valid argument he is crossdressing which might actually be enough to turn his shitty fucking base on him. Start a rumor his name is Rachel Santiago an illegal Colombian immigrant who went transgender drug mule to escape prosecution for homosexual prostitution only to enter the us setup a fake name he took from a gold star family and made his fortune providing backalley abortions but only for whites.

        What’s Johnny Depp doing these days? I’m certain he could effectively channel H.S.T., Willy Wonka, and maybe a splash of Jack Sparrow and Guy Lapoint, while portraying the tallest oompa loompa ever.

            I also like the (jewish?) lawyer. He’s basically the only one who constantly wins over the gang and doesn’t get dragged down to their level.

            The duel scene was gold.

      Not quite comparable. Trans girls are cuter and rock heels waaay better! But perhaps it’s also the non-genocidal vibes that i love.

      I personally don’t because i never took the time to get used to heels. That and Chelseas are also cute :3

    What a sad world we live in where a man’s height is a selection criteria for office. So dumb.

      Now now. No need to call the legendary Marquis names by tainting his last name. He would not have enjoyed being in any way associated with DeSantis.

        The Marquis de Sade was a rapist, torturer, and pedophile.

        Whatever credit you give to his other philosophies or the community that bears his legacy, his brand of sexual liberation was a front for oligarchal cruelty and nothing more.

          Correct. But comparing him with DeSantis was crossing a line.

    They should make a reality TV show of his campaign and call it The Weakest Loser and should showcase how small and pathetic he and his party is.

    We have broken the bottom of the barrel and are now digging deep into sludge when it comes to political candidates here.
