What's Up with Ron DeSantis' Objection to USA-NATO Military Aid to Russian Invaded Ukraine, With Him Advising that USA Take Care of the USA?


Like eliminate:

Social Security insurance retirement, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, public K-12 school meals ("the socialism" ((social safety net and lifeline for modest and low-income people, of whom there are scores of millions in the USA, the minimum wage and income taxes, which pay for the physical, public-saftey and public-health public infrastructure)) DeSantis decries and croaks so much about, along with woke, in his public speeches); diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI), which he has baselessly tied in a news comment by him as causal for the string of bank failure in the USA over the week of 03-06-2023 to 03-12-2023; truth and reality in educational/history content and in educational, sports and employment access, hiring

(The New York Times@nytimes: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said in a statement made public on Monday night that protecting Ukraine is not a vital U.S. interest and that policymakers should instead focus attention at home. https://nyti.ms/428mOlu )

and advancement, he has admonished and called for their end; restrictions on the types of guns, ammo and accessories purchases, ownership, age access and public carry; and the public voices, independent data gathering and analysis and exercise of public-health decision making of state and local government medical and disease experts and authorities.

Elimination of the social safety net, initiated by the FDR New Deal economic program of 1933 and 1935, and income taxes, established by the 16th amendment in 1913, has been the explicit agenda of the conservative big-money core of the Republican Party since the origin of each of them, especially during the later part of the 1929 to 1939 Great Depression, inherited by the Democratic Party FDR administration from the GOP President Herbert Hoover administration, with emphasis then on the elimination of the FDR New Deal upon the origin of the New Deal poverty and unemployment relief and national economic stimulus programs of the President Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, from 1933-1945, but an agenda rejected by the GOP US presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald W. Reagan and Donald J. Trump, which is why it is no longer a consensus but is a publicly unequivocal agenda within the GOP, and, moreover, because as so it is a political-elections losing agenda with each the Democratic Party voters overall, a majority of independent voters and a majority of the current voters of the GOP. To get rid of the social safety net, the big-money power factors of the GOP must do so administratively, legislatively, via the US Congress and a compliant president, or one whose veto of the legislation the GOP would need to have the majority membership numbers in Congress or would need to muster enough bipartisan votes in Congress to override the presidential veto. The GOP membership of the House of Representatives in Congress has regularly tried to use the annual federal budget funding proceedings and negotiations, and the threat of a government shutdown or an actual shutdown, to induce the Democrats in Congress and the Democratic Party president to do this dirty deed for them and take the political fallout blame for doing so, needless to say, unsuccessfully, (1) The Democrats on Twitter: "Mitt Romney said he’s “not aware” of any Republican officials who want to cut Social Security. We pulled the receipts for you, @MittRomney. https://t.co/VHmlKD9Xql" / Twitter.  The GOP has pursued its objective of getting rid of federal income taxes by modifying that objective and chipping away at them by federal legislative tax loopholes, deductions, credits and special rates, tax cuts after tax cuts, etc., favoring foremost or primarily the high-income class and powerful and big-money corporations rather than by improbably, or impossibly, trying to repeal the federal income tax 16th amendment law to the US Constitution, which is why the campaigns of most Republican Party nominee US presidential candidates campaign for reducing federal income taxes and why members of the high-wealth class and major corporations pay little or no tax.  As long as those making income of $500,000.00 and less yearly pay the bulk of the taxes for socialism they have come to like such as public and/or funded roads and highways, street lighting at night, sewage and electrification systems and a dominant in power national defense and imperial military, benefitting themselves, they are amenable to an income tax system to support these and little else.  They will rail against the sight of the social and public blight and nuisance, for them and the stable haves of society, homeless populations, many within which are working homeless persons and their families unable to afford rental residences with their insufficient and meager wages, pensions, or other income, of most major cities and many towns of the USA and blame them for their plight, yet stand against affordable housing, mandatory employee versus and over non-benefits poorly paid gig worker status, adequate wages, guaranteed public retirement pensions, supplemental public assistance and medical, dental and mental-health care for them.

And like to unimpede:

"His attempt" by bluff federally unconstitutional laws and state governor executive orders and fines to command and overrule federally constitutionally protected, and independent from government control, private-enterprise, freedom-of-the press and freedom-of-speech publications media and platforms and their user-subscriber policies and rules; likewise to curb federally constitutionally-protected public protests, of black Americans, by authorizing [racist, antidemocracy] persons to strike them with their automobiles when they enter and walk through public street crosswalks between sidewalks... ... ... ...and by his mantra croaking campaign about and against woke (apparently, the green economy and transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable fuels and user tech, industry, infrastructure and homes and building, egalitarianism, DEI, empathyism in working to aggressively reduce and end homelessness and poverty, while not blaming the victims of these for their plight, tax fairness and accountability for the rich and big business) in the attempt to slur the positive meaning of the word woke (commonly meaning socially, spiritually-morally/ethically and intellectually awake, enlightened and fair) and to weaponize it and adversarially misapply it to his social and political counterparts to try to socially and politically smear, discredit, marginalize and defeat the social-justice and clean-energy-economy cause movements.

In his head, by this, he might think he would be able to resume illegal interstate human trafficking by plane and bus loads, on a grand scale, of undocumented immigrants, or unauthorized immigrants, into the USA who made their way to his home state of Florida, from out of Florida and to west-coast and northeastern cities, especially those with black mayors, although he has been reported in the news to be bemoaned about and feeling envious of Texas Governor Greg Abbott because his state of Texas has a border with Mexico, the primary entry location of undocumented immigrants into the USA, whereas his home state of Florida does not a border with Mexico, depriving him of the justification to complain, politically dramatize about and demagog the undocumented Latin America immigrant problem to the extent and in the fashion Government Abbott has.

This BS-headed bullfrog of a man might even believe that the defeat and takeover of Ukraine by the Russian armed forces, as a result of a cutoff of [robust] USA and NATO military aid to Ukraine for resisting and repelling the Russian armed forces invasion and war of occupation, conquest and takeover of Ukraine, or large and politically-economically geo-strategically significant parts of it, would clear the news media of news stories on this war distracting to his BS, evidentiary-baseless, spurious croaking that the Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failures of the week of 03-06-2023 to 03-12-2023 were because of DEI, diversity, equality and inclusion [policies], and not the latent kick-in effects of GOP deregulation (by GOP Trump presidential and Congressional MAGA-deregulation policies and legislative stripping down the Dodd-Frank Act, intended to prevent banking and corporate corruption and major financial failures, during the Trump presidency) again of banks and industry, as was the case for them in the 1986 and 2008 S&L and banking and financial services corruptions and mass failures under other GOP presidencies, that were monopoly dominated by non-DEI, non-diversity-equality-and-inclusion, executive leadership, in which DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion) is an organizational philosophy and practice that opposes discrimination and exclusion on the basis/bases race, ethnicity, religion and gender.

Maybe somehow in his bleeping, unwoke, sleep-croaking head he might imagine it would permit him to host more booze-drinking parties with underage high-school girls.
