    Man I am shocked and awed that DeSantis has a moral bone left in his body. Not sure I actually believe it I’m sure there’s a angle I haven’t seen yet, but I’ll fucking take it I guess.

      It’s probably his only move. He failed to take Trump’s place. Kissing the ring hasn’t gotten him anywhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pivots to Rubio’s stance of several years ago—still really shitty but closer to pre-MAGA Republican.

      Or, it might just be because he has daughters that are almost ripe for Tate’s picking.

        I don’t think the governor is personally involved in this prosecution. That may change if trump feels like he has to intervene though
