The law that allowed him to spend this Covid money like this required the migrants came from FL. So he flew them to FL first, then to MV.
Hemelsblauw
Please check your voter registration at https://vote.org in time. In a lot of states registering closes 30 days before election day.
iguessihaveto
The part where they deliberately fucked up the paperwork in a way that would have gotten them deported for missing court dates doesn't get
As much attention as maybe it could. I think that might be the most infuriating part.
LorindaLogan
May he get what he deserves.
areyouelonmusk
In his mind, he deserves the presidency :(
Lyconous
Did he actually give them documents stating that and, if so, can they be used in a criminal case?
Gryphonosiris
He did
Rendova
Get a bunch of willing DeSantis look alikes in front of FLA statehouse with gays kissing. Photo like crazy. Share with appreciatives.
khora
Better use covid relief funds to do it, and be sure to rent the plane from a Russian funded company that have given campaign donations.
yoyo42
Smart *for a Republican*. Not, you know, actually smart.
Jackrackham86
He can speak coherent sentences, unlike Trump, but is still a far cry from smart. I hate this guy's fucking face.
ChalkCoatedDonut
They better file several and hire good lawyers, DeathSantis have most judges on his pockets and that fucker can go "my state, my business".
AwesomeBorderCollies
This dimwit doesn’t have many New England judges in his pocket.
Hyzenthlay021
Interstate issues. Federal law might be applicable (not-a-lawyer)
Jgold101
What part of house the needy, feed the hungry, and heal the sick do you not understand.
Kinseeker69
I'm so glad I don't live in Florida anymore
BaelKor
Can these Republican cunts actually start to see consequences for their actions yet? I'm tired of watching this shit happen.
TheWeebleWobler
Hopefully he ends up in jail.
procrastinatingagain
The island isn't filled with lawyers. Vacationers are not the same as year round residents. Year round residents are service industry worker
Yeah, but you know the lawyers are flocking like vultures to a 3 day old dead cow.
gypsyspot
is it virtue signaling if it's not performative? are altruism and empathy now virtue signaling?
HaroldHalJordan
People only do good things for selfish reasons… right? Right?!? Far right?!?!?!?
People, maybe, Lawyers, not so much.
Immigration lawyers for people seeking asylum are not rich lawyers.
HillOfBeans
Remember every speck of this bullshit when this asshole runs for President.
socraticmeathead
Successful retired virtue-signalling lawyers with a lot of free time and guilty consciences.

Yeah, he basically hung a great big "SUE ME" sign on the back of his head and stood in a room full of ambulance chasers.
JimmyWalkerTexasRanger
These assholes want to take us back to the days of the lawless west where white men could do no wrong to people that didn't look like them.
SophieClockwise
So, America circa 1492-2022?
mutingisforcowardsandsycophants
Yeah but like before they could get called out on the internet by strangers for it. That's the real travesty here y'know.
Johannason
They recognize that it's bad to be called a racist, but haven't made the leap to "it's bad to be a person who is regularly called racist".
Pretty much.
Sniffmeenob101
Hahahahaha how the fuck did he think this one would go down Hahahahaha
bstringrocks777
Fuckin trash people. I think its best if people exercise their liberties and demand that the GOP doesnt get a say up through next election.
DontYuckMyYum
if they win. DoucheSantis is absolutely going to spin it as "The Biden Admin giving Illegals millions of your tax dollars".
DrSchlepenstein
He has such a punchable face.
lljkstonefish
He has such a punchable behaviour
Preferable with a Cestus of a Gladiatorial Scissor.
DeniableCredibility
This is the thing that baffles me. Like, what did they *think* was going to happen? Did they think the Dems would have them deported?
I think they expected the people in MA to go all NIMBY. Failing to see other's viewpoints leads to false assumptions of their actions
Zange0
They're already trying to say that the migrants got kicked out of MV too, because they willingly moved to a place better prepared for them.
RexMundane
I keep saying that the left needs to stop calling this guy "frighteningly smart" and all, and start seeing him for the sad dimwit he is.
Eramik
Well, the comparison was Trump.... so....
ApplebeesOfficial
Nah this is a riskier move than usual but unless he faces criminal consequences IMMEDIATELY its a huge win because all he needs is for it >
to be *perceived* as a win by his base. And if you've been seeing all the delusional takes, they totally see it as an "epic owning the libs"
moment. If the civil and criminal proceedings get drawn out then he gets to ride it as being persecuted by the left in his future elections,
and receives massive publicity as the face of the "anti-left", setting him up for the popularity contest that is the presidential primaries
hfctom
Until there are actual consequences? Not much really.
ExpectedDickbuttGotDickbutt
Nothing went wrong. According to the bizarre, hate-filled world view of MAGA, he successfully owned the libs. So ugly and dumb.
NodYourHeadToThis
"Ugly and dumb." Yes, this encapsulates it. Such a sad time.
bikergeek6249
This is why arguing with a MAGAt is like playing chess with a pigeon. He'll knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, then claim he won.
NotservativeReason
True. All magas rhink he did good and no consequence came from it but screwing up the aliens and the rich town.
thetonestarr
Yep, I've seen the mind bogglingly dumb posts on Facebook that corroborate this.
AbeFromanSausageKingOfChicago
It’s true. It doesn’t matter. The truth is that these people were taken care of. The headlines on Fox are “Lib Hypocrisy”. They live in a
GOP bubble.

Trelis
What was his point? That Dems get angry when he died stupid shit? Didn't need to spend millions of tax money to fund that out.
marsgoose
Wont matter to his voters, this is a drop in the ocean compared to how much illegal migration costs them usually.
I don't think this stunt will do shit to prevent illegal immigration, but I'm also not a Florida swing voter so my opinion is moot.
I think you are right, not to prevent or eliminate immigration, but just to stunt for his voters.
I’m proud to be a person who gets their panties in a twist over children being used as political pawns and abandoned without shelter
Ok that doesn't make sense, they would be equally without shelter if left in TX. And heir parents are the ones responsible for putting them
in that situation in the first place.
OK, real question, what would have happened to those kids if they had stayed in TX? What sort of support system is in place? I don't know.
haquie
Oh Texan here let me answer that if they look white they yet kept in a hotel with other white Hispanics if they are brown like me it's 1/2
A camp or prison where you are basically left to babysitter other little brown kids and be left with bare min of anything if anything at all
in9119iwas
"and the prosecution of DeSantis is politically motivated"
"Please provide a list of crimes a republican can be prosecuted for without allegations of political motivation"
flamingflamingo
My mom is a Trump supporter and I think the only thing keeping her with the MAGA camp is she doesn’t me to have been right all along.
Can relate. Do all parents have a hard time admitting they were wrong?
I think it’s just a pride thing. She’s a very supportive mother and she’s proud of me, but she does think I’m a little elitist.
TheSecondPiewackit
Yeah because their "win" condition was the immigrants not being just straight up given a house in Martha's Vineyard.
AGrammeIsBetterThanADamn
Everybody on that side of the aisle is talking about how they got beans and store-brand cereal and shipped to a military base the same day
purdhapley
I couldn’t believe my conservative friends reaction to this. They thought it was hilarious to just fuck over 50 people like that.
cabalin
Well they are Christians
smegheadenergy
Asylum seekers aren’t people to manga wads, they’re shit to drag in the media. I’m in no way condoning what they did
Maverickaura
Why do you still have conservative friends?
Because I work with them in a band that makes good money.
I find it very cruel how illegal aliens have been used as political pawns by both major parties for about half a century now.
MechKelly
That's what you get from sociopaths who have no empathy and delight in cruelty to others.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Considering the greeting they got they weren’t ducked over as hard as cons thought
TacoPoweredHelicopter
They were it strongly messes up there asylum applications. May have destroyed there lives from a legal perspective.
Oh fuck. I did not know that. I think it may be ok though considering the state governor fucked it up. Despite ICE being full of dicks -
USCIS is usually pretty reasonable in my experience. They're not saints, and they take 1000 years to do anything, but they're at least -
enderite
Shows you the value system of your friends.
Tbf the are my friends at work.
That makes sense. Got to hang out with them in some form constantly.
It’s a step further. I’m a professional musician and I was subbing in a band that I work with semi regular. Those were my “band mates”.
I have several co-workers, who think because I'm white, I should automatically agree with their GQP rants.
QueefSlurper6372

Maybe you should give violence a chance with him.
rastaX
The fact that he had to round up immigrants from Texas to send off says everything you need to know about Florida's immigrant problems.
daranthered
If he had done this with Cubans in Florida he would be living-impaired now.
onecowboytoo
They are too busy working on fruit farms for less than min wage.
CelestialSea
If he deported assylum seekers from Florida it would mostly be Cubans, and they're one of his most reliable voting blocs. It's all theater.
drunkcat
It's because Florida immigrants vote majority republican.
MaximusUltima
And are important to a lot of the big businesses operating down there whose CEOs donate lots to his campaigns.
Wouldn’t want to piss them off by yanking their cheap, off-the-books labor out from under them, now, would he?
ICompletedEngineeringOnTime
I thought immigrants don’t vote unless they have been granted citizenship
Yes.
Anthedon
I still don't understand why any foreigner would come here and vote Republican. They actively hate you and want you gone or dead.
iceynyo
Yes but the foreigner hopes that if they vote for them maybe they won't hate this foreigner in particular!
jayman0123
https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng?t=610 this
Republicans hate their own natural born constitutes and want them dead too. That's the appeal.
Yeah it’s hilarious. Lived in Florida among Cuban immigrants and first Gen. Folks who practically swam here from Cuba are anti-immigration-
AF even though they/their parents came here seeking asylum or illegally. The cognitive dissonance is huge.
blainetog
No dissonance. They've just always believed that everyone is on their own, so take what you can get and pull up the ladder after you.
My dad was an immigrant and was anti-immigrant. Everyone wants to have been the very last one through the door. After that, they should 1/2
lock the door tight and melt the key into slag. 2/2
