Ron DeSantis, attempting to seem like a tough guy, all but declared war on Mexican sovereign territory. He would be a clear and present danger were he to win. Ron Desantis expressed his support for sending U.S. Special Forces over the Mexican border to combat drug cartels. He argued for using lethal force against cartels, claiming they are responsible for thousands of American deaths. DeSantis’s proposal is very similar to the U.S. invasion of Panama in the 1980s, where the pursuit of dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega resulted in the deaths of thousands of Panamanians. This historical parallel serves as a warning against violating another country’s sovereignty. It is irresponsible and short-sighted as well as ineffective that DeSantis would focus on foreign cartels rather than addressing the root causes of drug addiction within the U.S. The blame must be partly placed on the American capitalist system and pharmaceutical companies that create addiction, leading to a demand fulfilled by cartels. The DeSantis sta

Most of the Republican Primary Presidential candidates showed that they remain spineless as they said that even if Trump is convicted as a felon, they would vote for him. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/politicsdoneright/support

If you want to understand the degeneracy of the Republican Party, listen to this interview with a pleasant-sounding Senator Bill Cassidy. He says Trump and Biden or these same yet will still vote for Trump even if he is convicted. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana believes Donald Trump is guilty of mishandling classified documents and thinks he should drop out of the presidential race. Despite this, Cassidy would still vote for Trump if he's the Republican nominee, even if he's convicted. Cassidy draws an equivalency between Joe Biden and Donald Trump on policy, particularly Social Security, claiming neither will take significant action. This view contradicts the commentator's belief that Biden has implemented various progressive social programs. The commentator criticizes Cassidy for saying that he would still vote for Trump despite his ethical and legal issues, arguing this reveals a lack of morality and commitment to law and order within the Republican Party. Cassidy's stance is con

Senator Bill Cassidy appeared on CNN's State of the Union, where he accused Trump, Democrats, and Republican candidates of their failure to address the Social Security woes. But he provided a solution that, at best, is fraudulent as he is removing the security from Social Security as the plan calls for investments in the Stock Market via Wall Street. --- Senator Cassidy's Proposal: The plan by Senator Cassidy is to create a separate fund from Social Security, with no Social Security dollars used, to invest in the U.S. stock market. He argues this investment will cover 70% of Social Security's shortfall, and claims bipartisan support, with seven Republicans and seven Democratic senators supporting the plan. He accuses President Biden of politicizing the issue instead of endorsing it. Critic's Opposition: The speaker vehemently opposes this idea, labeling it a fraud. He warns that the investment could lead to negative results if the stock market falls. The plan would also artificially inflat

The director/producer of The Big Con visited to discuss his take on Trump's indictment relative to the failure of past DOJs to prosecute the fraudulent banksters that caused the 2008 financial crash. Discussion on Trump's Indictments: The conversation opens with an emphasis on the charges against Donald Trump and how they fit into the broader financial picture of the country. While the charges against Trump are significant, Lovell expresses concern about how they might overshadow the systemic financial issues facing the nation. Connection to Historical and Current Financial Misconduct: Lovell delves into the history of financial crises, including the 2008 financial collapse, and relates it to Trump's history in real estate and finance. He argues that the fraudulent practices used by Trump mirror wider, systemic issues in the financial industry that have gone largely unaddressed by the government. Political Landscape and the Rule of Law: The conversation also touches on the political enviro

Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) shows that he simply refuses to understand the severity of climate change and the role the U.S. must play. Taxing China and forcing countries to do more of what the U.S. should have done is not the answer. Natural Gas as a Solution: Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana emphasized the importance of burning natural gas as a means to reduce CO2 emissions, stating that emissions from the United States are lower than in 2005. This, he claims, is due to natural gas replacing coal, thereby acknowledging climate change but proposing a solution that still involves burning fossil fuels. Penalizing China: Cassidy expressed concern about China's role as a significant polluter and proposed legislation for a farm pollution fee. He believes that if China does not enforce international norms for the environment, they should be financially penalized. He's also looking to replace current tariffs with a tariff related to pollution, aiming to make China pay for their environmental impact.

The Florida Standard interviewed Ron DeSantis on Friday. And he similarly defined a section of the GOP MAGA base similar to Hillary Clinton. Hillary called them deplorables. He called them listless vessels only supporting those who kiss Trump's rear end. Otherwise, one is a RINO. --- Video: https://youtu.be/dV1d9sLpZIo Comparison Between DeSantis and Clinton: Governor Ron DeSantis's comments on the MAGA base have drawn comparisons to Hillary Clinton's remarks from the 2016 election. Both DeSantis and Clinton have expressed similar sentiments about Trump supporters, dividing them into two distinct groups. DeSantis's Critique of the MAGA Base: DeSantis criticizes those within the MAGA movement who blindly follow Trump, suggesting that it won't be a sustainable movement if it continues in that direction. He implies that unless someone fully supports Trump, they are labeled a "RINO" (Republican In Name Only). Clinton's "Basket of Deplorables" Statement: Hillary
