I have a question about Ron DeSantis.

What is his reason for getting involved with sending the migrants to Martha's Vineyard? Florida is not a border state. Is this posturing for a 2024 run?

BTW - I refer to DeSantis as the Oily Turd, just on general principles.

DeSantis is using Texas migrants for a political stunt thinking he can galvanize his voters without pissing off any Florida migrants. It's going to backfire bigly.

This is just a sop to the MAGA fascists, purely political theater.

He is betting that Trump becomes ineligible and he wants to be the biggest Fascist standing in line to lead the Republicans to greater glories.

Vote Charlie Crist, or Florida and USA are in trouble. His base admires cruelty. But he didn't remove migrants from his state--creepy.
