I’m a Florida resident. Ron DeSantis sucks. Let me preface it. However, about 1-2x a year he does something that actually doesn’t suck.

I wouldn't be surprised if DeSantis is actually afraid Tate could take his job
Well he is term limited as governor, Tate is perfectly aligned with republican values (raped countless women) and he's famous.
You might be on to something!
I'd say a rapist could never be a leader.... oh.
"a broken clock is right twice a day"
Florida just got rid of one pedo/rapist. He doesn't want a replacement.
Every broken clock is right twice a day, more than Ron the santis
Trump will probably give them cabinets posts, they seem suitably qualified to join his inner circle.
Department of human trafficking control
Likely he will get some labor rights related stuff, then will help in gutting worker's protections in the name of "Hustle culture", after that he will take the blame for the fallout and land into some another position.

Weird, he’s their exact target market…???
I wouldve figured he'd be hiring him as his campaign manager.
...Trump-hating [Ron DeSantis] has disgraced himself by stating that [Andrew Tate] and [Tristan Tate] are not welcome in Florida!"
Did I miss something? Since when do DeSantis and Trump not align on their shit values?
But also, I mean, it doesn't have to be said, but fuck all of them with a chainsaw.
They align on their values but DeSantis considers himself Trump's rival for the presidency.
That's what makes his anti-Tate stance exceedingly cute, on so many levels. Not only does he lack the power or will or conviction of his words, but no-one one either side gives two shits what DeSantis has to say on this topic, or any other.
What I'm hearing is the Dems are going to nominate him for their 2028 attempt.
He won't switch parties. They'll just pick him anyways.

Well, the hilarious thing is, that DeSantis can side with the state's rights crew of NY, Maine, Washington, California so far, and he could also have his attorney generals or other people mess with Trump legally for taxes or other issues, eg Mar A Lago. He actually very much could be a headache for Trump just like he was for Disney.

Well, their recruitment along with the Silk Road guy is all part of Trump's plans to start massive human trafficking and drug trafficking organizations. He needs their expertise in human trafficking so he forced Romania to let them come here.
The current node for human trafficking, to help cover where people are being sent, is Guantanamo (and Panama). That's Ron's old stomping grounds. And while I think he's cool with torture of "terrorists," he's not so into mass rape of women, egg farming, genocide to grave rob America. I think he also got freaked out by the Les Miserable song at the Governor's Ball (he cowered) and all the loud loud pushback he's experiencing from people calling in constantly to complain and also the protests.
Or maybe he's just mad they took the spot he wanted.

Holy Christ... If true, this would be so much darker and more evil than I ever expected from these people.

What a weird conflict. I don't know who I want to win. Is it possible for them both to lose somehow? Like some kind of -1 sum game?
Send tate to florida. Then get out a saw, and cut Florida away and into the Ocean. Then use ropes to connect Hawaii and Alaska to the mainland.
Now you can claim that only connected states can be states. Also, international no fly, no sail zone 300 miles around florida at any time. No one leaves.
The only way in or out is via gay party boat ferry.
With rescued immigrants onboard
Careful with that saw. There are allies there still.
As long as the electoral college exists, it really doesn’t matter, sadly.

man when you're too terrible for Florida conservatives to want you there, you know you're a terrible person
Sounds like cabinet material.
ron desantis is the guy who sues disney for some fucking reason
andrew tate is the guy who sold an online university centered around being a rapist.
scratch that, andrew tate is a rapist.
let's ask the gov't of romania
I have no idea who Andrew Tate is. So I looked him up on Wikipedia, and he seems like the kind of awful person who would be a darling of the MAGAsphere.
Could someone explain to me why DeSantis doesn't want him then?
Desantis has make a huge show of “stopping human traffickers” and there’s no way he can welcome them without being called out on hypocrisy. He can pass this off as a “White House thing” and try to keep his position.
Being called out on hypocrisy has never stopped a conservative before. Hell, it’s practically required.

Oh no! Republicans are NOT going to like That!
Good to see Romania is deporting criminal immigrants
Desantis is clearly worried that Andrew Tate will push him out of the running for "biggest piece of shit in the United States"... These guys take that award very seriously
