"Top Gov" DeSantis releases Top Gun inspired ad aimed at critics

[Dutch Uncle]

I am annoyed by people who had desk jobs in the military, but strut around and expect to be honored for heroism.

My brother sat at a desk for the Air Force and he never expected anyone to pat him on the back for his 'sacrifice'

They annoy many in the military too as shown by the Navy pilot Twitter posts. LOL

Real heroes take risks because it's the right thing to do. Your brother did make sacrifices. True, flying a desk is safer than flying a military aircraft*, but, as with DeSantis, it's often done in far from home and, sometimes, in risky circumstances.

A lot of my friends died in peacetime Marine Corps helicopter accidents**. It goes with the job. There were desk jockeys and mechanics in the back of some of those helicopters, just like Kobe and his kid (and the 7 others who died).

Notice that about 20-25% of the deaths in Iraq were due to "non-hostile" causes: https://www.defense.gov/casualty.pdf

That said, while I believe all military personnel make sacrifices for their country and are involved in risky operations, you are 100% correct that claiming something they didn't earn is wrong.

*Military aircraft: built by the lowest bidder, maintained by 18-19 year olds often in hostile environments.

**Mostly CFIT like Kobe Bryant's accident.

Florida could have had a crackhead faggot ***** that has sex with male prostitutes and is a corrupt criminal for governor. That's what the Democrats ran.

You epitomize every Trump supporter on JPP, Matt. Kudos!

Prove any part of that assertion incorrect. What you fail to realize is that sometimes things are what they are.

That's because I know you can't. Lying shitbag.

How can I prove you wrong, Matt?

What do you want? My DD-214 with name, rank and serial number? That's exactly what all the Trumpian pedos and cocksuckers want me to do.

Can you prove you have an IQ over 100 and a GED?

 

[Matt Dillon]

How can I prove you wrong without giving all the Trumpian pedos and cocksuckers my personal information, Matt?

What do you want? My DD-214 with name, rank and serial number?

No. I want you prove Gillum isn't a black crackhead faggot criminal. See, you can't even follow the flow of a conversation, you societal retard.

You could post your DD-214 with doxxy things blocked out and a handwritten piece of paper with "Dutch Uncle" on it, though.

IF you wanted to prove me wrong on that.

ROFLMAO.

First, now you are backpedaling away from your lies about me to make about one of your Floridian dumbasses.

Second, you're also trying to walk away from your racism. Dumbass, everyone on JPP knows you are a pinheaded racist. It slips out the most when you're drunk...which is why your post today was both a little surprising and revealing.

Dutch never was anything. He's lying about all of it.

Desantis actually is everything you lie about being, and a bag of chips, too. In reality.

Florida could have had a crackhead faggot nigger that has sex with male prostitutes and is a corrupt criminal for governor.

English 101 psyllabus. Not the box I was looking for. Was really looking for a Research Paper or 2 with A+ on them.

The most intelligent thing you've posted all week, Matt. Kudos!

I don’t understand Floridians voting for a governor who wishes to be President. His focus will be on his presidential campaign and not Florida.

Its why my folks stop voting for Bob Dole, he lost interest in Kansas and focused on his campaigns for President.

Don't worry, he has our backs and we know it. And has proven that in spades already.

Believe it or not, I actually have to agree with your take on this ad (and I come from a position of liking DeSantis).

I found this ad to be rather cringeworthy, coming across as forced/inauthentic. What this ad tells me is that DeSantis is now being managed by professional RNC club types and is being offered up to people as the managed "electable" (IOW, "acceptable to the RNC club") alternative to Trump in 2024.

Ron DeSantis, staging in 2022 for a 2024 Presidential run = Ted Cruz, staging in 2014 for a 2016 Presidential run. Like it was with Cruz, DeSantis will be used to pull the MAGA vote away from Trump (if they can't get Trump destroyed before then). Both the DNC and the RNC hate Trump with a passion because his economic policy is an America First nationalist one that benefits the working class on Main Street instead of the DNC/RNC "elites" on Wall Street.

The MAGA wing of the Republican Party need to learn the tricks of the RNC club and to not fall for them. DeSantis is a good governor who has done good things for Florida, and I'd gladly re-elect him for governor in a heartbeat if I lived in Florida, but he should stay there and not rise to the national level. He's not going to be effective on the national level like Trump was because DeSantis is being managed by the RNC club meanwhile Trump isn't willing to be controlled by the RNC club (which is why they hate him).

TLDR; In 2024, I will NOT be supporting nor voting for DeSantis for President and WILL be supporting and voting for Trump for President.

Totally disagree.

When the Covid scam was in full swing, he stood up for Floridians. When they wanted to shut down businesses and fire people for not getting the jab it was him who went to bat. He didn't have to do that, he could have been a yes man and went with the flow. But he didn't.

A lot of Floridians see him as a hero because that is what he is.

WTF is the "Covid scam"???

Do you believe COVID is a hoax, Lig?

It was used for nefarious purposes by politicians to corral sheep with fear. In that sense, it was a huge scam.

Like the Spanish Flu of 1918? To distract people from the War?

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/the-flu-pandemic-of-1918-and-early-conspiracy-theories
During the pandemic of 1918, one myth propagated in the United States and the United Kingdom was that the pandemic was linked to the use of aspirin produced by the German pharmaceutical company Bayer...

...One such rumor, found in the pages of a Brazilian newspaper, suggested that the influenza virus was spread around the world by German submarines...

...As the authors of a 2017 study in Current Directions in Psychological Science observe, conspiracy theories give people quick, easily acceptable explanations for issues that otherwise have no simple answers or solutions.

No. I didn't mention 1918. You did.

Correct. Sorry for the late edit, but I added info about the conspiracy theorists of the time.

We would be so lucky to have him as president...this country would be positively amazing...

I think you're missing what I'm saying.

I don't disagree with any of that. As I said, DeSantis has done a fine job for Florida. In fact, he has been an example of how other Republican governors should be acting with regard to looking out for their citizens and their interests. I like DeSantis quite a bit.

What I'm saying is that certain things that he's done lately (like this cringy national advertisement and his failure to put out a strong statement against the Mar-a-Lago raid like Kari Lake did) make it obvious to me that he and his actions are now being managed by the RNC as a build up for a 2024 Presidential run to siphon MAGA votes away from Trump (if they can't destroy Trump before he runs). --- The other thing I am saying is that, since he's being managed by the RNC now, he's not going to be fighting for America First economic policies on the national level like Trump was doing.

There is a reason why it is only Trump that both the RNC and the DNC absolutely hate and wish to destroy... The RNC doesn't wish to lose control of their club to MAGA, and will fight tooth and nail against it, even if it means losing to Democrats (who are really just the mirror image opposite wing of the Uniparty bird).
