Of course Ron DeSantis isn’t going to stand up to Elon musk for being antisemitic. Ron DeSantis can’t even to stand up to Donald Trump who has said the most vicious shit about (checks notes) Ron DeSantis.
What is it with wingnuts and need to claim that “cities like Minneapolis” have been destroyed? Do they think no one has checked on these cities in the three years since the Boogaloo boys crashed the George Floyd protests? Anyone with eyes can see these cities are all perfectly fine.
But to say that the actions of one police officer means that Americans in Iowa or Texas or Florida, that it should be painful for them, when they had nothing to do with it, that does not make any sense.
Everyone knows that empathy doesn’t cross state lines. That’s just science.
So DeathSentence literally said, in words in this order, "Nobody is saying that"..."empathy is an important quality for a U.S. president". "That is what it appears to me is the "that" to which that venomous homunculous was responding. Of course, ever since Reagan we have been interpreting their mangled syntax into what a sympathetic English speaker might be excused for thinking they meant to say, giving them the unearned benefit of the doubt rather than take seriously the idea that these awkward, inarticulate creatures are only pretending, badly, to be human. Of course, it is true that they surround themselves with others of their like, and with just the kind of amoral grifters who would happily sell the rest of for lunchmeat to the sort of horrific aliens depicted in "The Tomorrow War".
"The difference is, is that, on the Left, that tends to be attached to some major institutional power, like some of our most august universities, whereas I think, on the Right, it tends to be more fringe voices that are doing it."
Jebus cripes, the projection is incandescent here.
I watched the trailer for "Napoleon" , It's epic , looks good. It's releasing on Wednesday so the critics don't have to wait long to start arguing about the historical accuracy or lack thereof. I think it's a mixed bag. The events depicted mostly happened. Some events may have been a Napoleon myth. We'll find out soon. Are these 3 nitwits all the GOP has left to challenge tfg? Sad.
I'm still scratching my head over the scene in the trailer featuring some army charging across a snow-covered body of water and being foiled by Napoleon's artillery cracking the ice under them. Never heard of any such thing happening, and that would seem a sufficiently salient event to have made the history books.
“ And do you not think that empathy is an important quality for a U.S. president”
“ Of course, it is. Nobody's saying that. But to say that the actions of one police officer means that Americans in Iowa or Texas or Florida, that it should be painful for them, when they had nothing to do with it, that does not make any sense. […”
Literally missing the definition of the word empathy here. The fact that DeSantis couldn’t even fake it here shows this little fascist isn’t ready to hold higher office. The fact he’s governor of a state as big as Florida is terrifying.
I think the major issue with Napoleon is the casting. Phoenix is way too old to be playing all but the very end of his life. They needed to cast someone in their 20s who they could make up older, not a very haggard late 40s actor.
But I tell you, the horserace narrative demands a redemptive comeback. The political press simply cannot abide a race that has a frontrunner 40 points ahead of the field for 18 months. They may not anoint DeNazi as the Redeemed One, but one of the people in the GOP clown car is going to get that treatment at some point in the next six months.

DeSantis has all the murderous propensities of Ted Bundy without the latter's superficial charm.
Ta, MM. Glad this is your job and not mine.

Minneapolis delenda est!
Obscure, but apt.

In the Republican Party, empathy doesn't cross family lines.
And it's just over a 2 hour drive from South Minneapolis to Waterloo.

Interesting point about Minneapolis that I wish Tapper had countered with on air for all to see;

Minneapolis was destroyed? guess i must've missed that.
its ok they got better
Goddamnit! I was hoping to visit Minneapolis one day!
(Not really.)
Destroyed people don't call, they don't write.
Fellow Wonkette swmnguy lives in the same area, and he's still here.

The Little Man from the Swamps has a moral compass that behaves as though it's in the region of a large iron ore deposit.

It was taken out of the history books. Too woke.
That event has not been verified, apparently it comes from more of the myth side of Napoleon.

"Literally missing the definition of the word empathy here." It's a republican requirement.
Baked into their DNA
I like to call it the Portman Syndrome.

The more we know about DeSantis, the less we like him, and that actually is a thing "both sides do".
No kidding. I have never before seen a candidate with such negative charisma.

This weekend, I watched Ian Holm in a masterful performance as Napoleon...in Time Bandits, of course.
Great movie ❤️😀
That movie delighted and freaked me out so much as a young. Who am I kidding, still does as an old.
That's what comedy is! Little things! Hitting each other!
I LIKE ZE LEETLE PUPPETS!
If I were an impact-feature geomorphologist, I'd be professionally qualified to Judge Craters.
And I'm pretty sure I'd say that deSantis' campaign has dug out a pretty big one.
did they find judge crater ?
You saw what I did there!
By the way, I do my field work on a pygmy pony and pick up samples with zircon-encrusted tweezers.
as one does …
You are clearly not an impact-feature geomorphologist.
They are impact created, if it's dug out by people it's just a sparkling hole in the ground.
