Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not taking calls from Vice President Kamala Harris about storm recovery just over a week after Hurricane Helene hammered parts of his state.

A source familiar with the situation said he was dodging the Democratic presidential nominee’s calls because they “seemed political,” according to a DeSantis aide. 

“Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer,” the DeSantis aide told NBC News. 

The same person said “not to my knowledge” when asked if DeSantis had spoken to President Joe Biden.

Sounds like something that demands an LBJ-style federal response.

Forcing the governors to talk to him while he's taking a shit with the door open?

A true patriot

He would hold his junk and flop it it them to scare them into cutting red tape and get shit done.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was a real motherfucker, but he got shit done.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

It is legal if it is an Official Act.

I dunno about you, but I don't want to live in a society where swinging ones balls around like a bola is illegal.

No, I think they meant pulling out his massive hog and slapping it on the Resolute Desk so they know who's boss

If Hunter's anything to go by, he probably does have the mass to do it.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That being said...

WTF time line did we wind up in that makes this a true and valid statement lmao

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

On the other hand, how many other times can you say that elderly C-Span viewers got a taste of porn on their TVs?

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 month ago

The fact that the number is non-zero makes me chuckle.

And just look at Little Ronny D. He's clearly compensating.

Dude wears high heeled shoes because he's so self-conscious about his height.

I wonder how much fascism actually boils down to men being uncomfortable with their bodies and/or sexuality. It's an ideology built on insecurity and toxic masculinity.

Isn’t this happening? I read that Biden is sending a thousand troops to these areas to help under a federal order that bypasses these boneheaded state officials … unless I misunderstood.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

He added another 500 troops this morning I believe. Anarchists in Asheville are doing a great job leading the way with mutual aid.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

They should be making it into a whole PR thing then.

The Democrats are so fucking bad at messaging. Maybe they wouldn't have to spend all their time and political capital preventing fascists from taking over, if there was more of a level playing field with regards to propaganda. But the right is just sooooooo much better, and have been at it (in earnest) for 30+ years.
