Desantis threatens to blow up Bahamas

[basilosaurus]

If they attack fort Lauderdale. Like, what? There's not a chance in hell that they would even think of attacking Florida where many spend significant time and money, and have family living in both places. What is this dumbass on? The poor diplomats around the world trying to smooth all the stupid shit the gop says.

I can understand the point he’s trying to make, but holy shit dude, don’t go around saying your going to flatten the Bahamas! This is just another signal that not only is he not fit to be governor of Florida, but he’s not fit to be president!

Aw, he's just sore because he wants ALL the beachy tourist money and doesn't want to admit that a lot of Americans no longer want to set foot in his shithole state and are going elsewhere.

Oh, and he's an asshole.

Please don't do it while I'm there next week 👀😂

For real though.. I get it was an example but as a public official, you CAN'T say stuff like that 🤦‍♀️

This… This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard come out of a politician’s mouth. Let’s make up an insane situation just to get the bloodthirsty crazies amped up. WTF. Really.

Me reading the headline and thinking :

Blow up?
That’s some dumb/dangerous hyperbole.
Wait, that’s probably not hyperbole. He means blow up.

Reads article - Yup.

Oh, 2023, you prepared me too well for 2024.

for a split second I thought maybe he meant economically by Florida beaches bringing in more revenue? Maybe?

But then I remembered it's desantis. He absolutely would say something that ridiculous

My thought exactly! Why does this have to pop up when I have a trip planned.
Also why can’t people think before they speak. Any of them.

It Trump taught us anything it's that you CAN say stuff like that and get away with it. It won't even hurt his chances of running for office again.
