DeSantis was unfazed by someone knowing his job description.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

he is a humanoid alien, that participated in torturing prisoners at gitmo.

Florida Man can sometimes be based

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Only accidentally.

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 55 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Don’t forget he also helped torture guys in Guantanamo

Congratulations, mate. Took you only ten years to figure that one out. You must be one of the clever ones.

(Directed at the guy in the article, of course)

It's so frustrating to see... Y'all could have come to this conclusion before this piece of shit destroyed our country.

But that's probably the point isn't it? They got what they wanted, so now many of them are ok with throwing him under the bus.

A rare spark of intelligence from the Florida man

If someone were to identify that person ... I'd contribute to a fundraising site for them

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, they just killed themselves by shooting themselves in the back of the head twice.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 13 points 1 month ago

...the minimum, but still welcome...

Finally, the impulsiveness of florida man is being used for good.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

On the one hand it's nice that they no longer worship Trump.

I do fear it still leads to President Joe Rogan though.

isnt your state(desantis) spiraling downwards due to the hurricane, insurance damages, and immigrants fleeing the state, so your import and tourist industry is suffering.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey, whatever works. It got a lot of rightwing people out of Midwestern states when they went packing for Florida during COVID. I'm sorry for Dems there, I hope they can get out but I won't cry when that state is underwater.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

its no wonder there is no news coming out the state of how bad its doing, usually theres constant news about it because of its "sunshine laws" but the MSM have kept a pretty tight lip over the months.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Lmao sunshine laws are a joke

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Minus alligator Auschwitz

[–] HenryDorsett@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I think pedophile should be removed from the lexicon.

Just call them convicted child rapists, or potential child rapists.

Of course, the rapist in chief probably wouldn't like that change in the popular vernacular.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The guy's not wrong.

[–] Eryn6844@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago

more like kneeling and looking up..

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It doesn't even matter

Those that need to see things like this either never will or will simply dismiss it as something that doesn't work with the narrative they are being fed

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You are playing a part of a defeatist narrative.

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Defeatist or not, it's accurate

How can we hope to penetrate their bubble when they are being actively astroturfed 24/7 from every direction?

It's a genuine question

[–] Puddinghelmet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

national strikes?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 1 month ago

"You can't walk through this wall, find another way around" isn't defeatism.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wish he brought a loaded pewpew with him.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it's okay to just say gun. You're not being censored here like on commercial social media.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I’m just spitballing here but, for Florida Man I’d guess if he were packin’, it’d be a sawed-off 12 gauge Remington 870 chambered with 00 buckshot. With that he would fuck shit up.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

As a midwesterner w/ a bit of gun knowledge: I'd guess a Mossberg 500, or a Maverick 88.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We know nothing about guns, so, uh, sure.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah I’m not a gun nut either (just happen to practice with my carry piece). I just imagine a ridiculous gun for a ridiculous persona like Florida Man hahaha

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

"this that gun that dirty Harry had! Yeeeee hawww!"

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What if I just like calling them pewpews, though?
