Human Trafficking aficionado Florida Governor Ron DeSlavery

Kidnapper Gov Ron DeSlavery

The worst thing you can do in America is accurately describe the actions and motivations of Republicans.  It's the Corporate Media's job to uncritically repeat all the Republicans fact-free claims and false assertions while throwing their hands up and saying there is no way to know if Republicans are telling the truth or not.

Ron DeSantis is a human trafficking kidnapper.  I certainly hope the investigation and possible class action lawsuit uncovers and makes Ron DeSlavery subject to consequences for his actions but, Republicans have realized that by constantly committing crimes and rushing headlong into scandal after scandal they can overwhelm the justice system and the media into letting them get away with it.  Additionally, rightwing media will never punish a Republican for being a bigot or criminal.  Indeed the entire rightwing media apparatus came into existence to succor, obfuscate, and defend Republican perfidy.

DeSantis, of course, barely won his Governorship even though he employed overt racism and has since run rampant through the state like a cliched meth-addled Florida Man.  Killing the elderly, attacking education, empowering bigots, demonizing LGBTQ person, and using Veterans as cudgels to disenfranchise teachers.

This is all designed to endear DeSantis to rightwingers across the USA who yearn to put this slightly smarter Trump into Office so he can do to the Nation what he's done to Florida.  So, it should come as no surprise Ron DeSlavery would fund a scheme to dupe Asylum seekers and migrants to round-up and fly them to Martha's Vineyard and film the whole thing thinking he was going to epically #OwntheLibs. 

DeSantis is a vile excuse for a human and the quintessential Republican Governor; portly, pudgy, pouty, pretentious, petulant, putrid, a perfect poltroon.

Listen to this disjointed and falsehood filled press conference gave trumpeting his kidnapping scheme.  There's so much criminality and inhumanity with this story and the flop sweat, backpedaling, lying, attempts at distraction, and varying rationales for the kidnapping going on that multiple Republicans from Ted Cruz to Marco Rubio (beneficiaries of asylum themselves but, willing to pull the ladder up so others can't benefit) are flooding Faux News and elsewhere in the rightwing hermetically sealed bubble with shit so white conservative bigots can continue to think this wasn't illegal and inhumane.

But, while every reason Republicans proffer is a lie or fabrication what is true is conservatives throughout social media and the Nation acted as thought this totally Owned those Libs!  Hard!  The truth doesn't matter to rightwing drones at all.  Conservative talking heads and on-line propagandists have created a hermetically sealed bubble in which conservatives can hear all the lies they want and it totally confirms their beliefs.  Facts on the ground don't matter. 

These type of illegal actions by elected Republicans, and associated low-level terrorism by rightwing Paramilitary groups are going to increase from now on because conservatives are fully-fascist now but, lack the courage to engage in open warfare with the government because they hope to win enough statehouses in 2022 so they can subvert the federal government in 2024 and then use the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary to make their Fascist Fundamentalist Nation a legal reality.

Additionally:

If these stunts are so awesome I wonder why we aren't hearing from the people who are transporting the kidnapped migrants to liberal cities?  Certainly, it's important to locate the paid Firm who conducted DeSantis Martha's Vineyard scheme.  But, why aren't we hearing from the pilots?  Why aren't they being given James O'Keefe style interviews of Faux News?  Why aren't we reading their 1000 word sub stack missives, I flew that plane and I loved it.  Maybe, because the Just Following Orders defense is all they've got right now. 

Updated:

Last September DeSlavery enacted several immigration executive orders, including one which,

banned Florida agencies from providing assistance in transporting to the state migrants apprehended at the southwest border, who don't have legal status in the country.

So, it's clear DeSantis is using federal and state tax payer dollars to effect this kidnapping scheme.  This is of course in line with privatization efforts in which Republicans steal money from the American people and funnel it to their friends and allies just like Brett Favre and former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant.

It's going to come out that like all Republicans DeSantis is using the power of government to pilfer public money but, by the time anyone investigates or releases this report DeSantis expects to be in the White House.  The Intercept discovered the airline Vetrol received the public money from DeSantis after they had contributed mightily to his campaign, a clear kick-back scheme Republicans always use. 

You can't spell M-I-S-S-I-S-S-P-P-I GOP without I-S-I-S K and F-A-V-R-E

A man's flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe - Dune, Frank Herbert

One of the things rightwingers have consistently done to aid their efforts is focus all their energy on one Democratic "scandal" and relentlessly catapult the propaganda.  Of course, the truth of the scandal is immaterial to conservatives what matters is the ceaseless repetition.

"And let me give you one example. Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee. A select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping..." - Kevin McCarthy to Sean Hannity October 2015

Republicans are committing so many misdeeds, crimes, offenses, scandals, and treason that it's hard to keep track, document, and continue to focus on them.  This is one of the reasons Marjorie Taylor Greene and other Republicans want to do away with the FBI.  Those damn Federal Officers are investigating and arresting Conservatives!  And to any Leftists, who've long called for the dissolution of the FBI, understand Major Traitor Greene isn't your ally in this because see doesn't want to eliminate the FBI she wants them replaced with a Trumpstapho or Trumpstazi, a cult of personality police force rigidly adhering to the Republican agenda of oppression and intolerance and one which will work to undermine Democrats the way the New York FBI did with Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Back in April I did a post on Brett Favre stealing from millions from Mississippi taxpayers.  Well, since then more detail have emerged about the scope, intent, and direct actions Favre took to make sure he was able to illegally obtain Other Peoples Money.  Recent legal fillings have included additional texts sent by Favre as he was involved in a Republican scheme to "misuse" $94,000,000 of federal grant money earmarked for TANF and other projects to help the people of Mississippi.

One Hundred Million Dollars.  Stolen.  A Hundred Million!

But, of course Republicans don't care about this.  Governor Phil Bryant was, most likely, involved in all of this but left office in 2020 to his flabby underling, Tate Reeves who was Lieutenant Governor during this theft of A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.  Reeves is still in office as Governor now as he seeks to make all abortion illegal, seeks to privatize the water supply for the poor people isn't facing daily calls to resign in disgrace.  Isn't facing Federal prosecution (as far as I know).  Tate Reeves is one of those bulbous, well-fed, smooth bodied rightwing Republicans who calls the meager assistance Americans receive from their government "cruel socialism" all the while ensuring those federal funds flow into the coffers of the rich and religious right wack-a-loons.  

And look in Jackson, Mississippi Americans don't have clean water.  For drinking.  For bathing.  For laundry and dishes.  For schools. For months.  Because Republicans don't invest in facilities for the people they rule over.  Because Republicans steal public funds and funnel it to their friends and ideological allies.  Because Republicans whole raison d'être is to get into office to undermine and hamstring government and then claim government doesn't work.  This is what they do with Education, Infrastructure, and any other public utilities.

The question for Americans and those living in Mississippi is; Are Republicans more dangerous to their health and well-being than ISIS?  The answer clearly is yes.

Republicans don't give a shit about people.  They don't give a shit.  Veterans, Law Enforcement, Women, and anyone who doesn't ceaselessly toe-the-line of Intolerance and Oppression and Adulation of the Rich.  Republicans idolize ISIS and want to create and Rightwing Fundamentalist Nation with 90% of people shackled in Wage Slavery, women and minorities reduced to second class citizens, and a Rightwing Paramilitary which rigidly enforces the White Evangelical Patriarchy with unimpeded violence.
