Well. I guess that stumping around from podunk city to podunk city trying to pimp his moronic POS GOP pop-up book just wasn’t satisfying. Or at least it sure as hell wasn’t bringing home the bacon to his bank account. Because now he’s taking his third rate vaudeville act across the pond.

Officially it’s known as a foreign investment legation. And actually that’s nothing new. Pretty much every state Governor who doesn’t rule Mississippi goes over the sink once in a while to promote investment in the state they represent. But normally, that means meetings more with heavy duty business leaders, as well as occasionally meeting with government leaders.

But that isn’t what this is. Without going to the trouble of actually declaring for the GOP nomination, DeSantis is trying to take part in a time honored rite of passage.

If you want to be considered a serious contender for a presidential nomination, you take your show to the continent. Barack Obama did it in 2008, with results better than he could have dreamed of. He met with global leaders, and spoke to audiences the size that is normally reserved for The Rolling Stones. He established his footprint on the international stage.

And then came Mittens. In 2012 Romney took his road show over the sink to Great Britain. It went fine at first. Romney was warmly, if properly received, and he paid his respects at Buckingham Palace, saw the changing of the guard.

But then the wheels fell off the wagon. Romney went to some official meetings with high government officials, topped off with a visit to the Prime Minister at 19 Downing Street.

When he emerged, he stepped in front of a podium with microphones, and stepped on an international landmine. He bloviated about his pleasant and constructive meetings, including his meeting with the head of MI-6.

Crap. A double scoop, please. The British government has never since its inception even recognized the existence of MI6. British newspapers trying to report on MI6 are subject to British government gag orders. Foreign officials never acknowledge its existence. And there’s Romney on the street in front of 10 Downing Street, prattling on about his great visit with the head of MI6. Which immediately branded Romney as a foreign policy imbecile.

Look for just another such occurrence from DeSantis in the balance of his beauty pageant. Like Romney before him, Pissantis is in a totally self contained bubble, with no regard for the impact of his words. Any foreign leader of administrative official speaking to DeSantis had better be ready for their business to become world common knowledge. Because DeathSantis thinks only of his own ego and self fulfillment, and nothing else.

And it will happen, for the simple reason that almost nobody other than a government official, who has to do this sh*t, will give Pissantis the time of day. Ask yourself this simple question. What sane owner or representative of a transnational company would want to give the time of day to an *ss clown who has gone to war with Mickey Mouse?!

Multinational corporations are looking for tax breaks and move in bonuses. And they’re going to be talking to a Governor who got into a pissing contest with the largest employer in the state, and pulled a decades long autonomous rule agreement?! For European and Asian companies, WOKE! is what happens when the alarm goes off in the morning. Sane people are used to having their customers intelligent, and aware of social and political issues, and treat them as adults. Why would they give the time of day to a lunatic like Pissantis?

It is prewritten that this trip is not going to go well for Ron Pissantis. Hell, even a craven corrupt hypocrite like Bebe Netanyahu met with DeSantis, and came out maintaining strict neutrality. The only question left is just how bad this trip will get.

  1. Brilliant, Murfster. I had utterly forgotten about that incident. And Mittens is Gandhi, compared to DeSantis. I can’t believe the extent to which he lost his cool at the Museum of Tolerance.

  2. The thing about “baseball mitt” is when he lived in Bloomfield Hills Michigan, he was known as the dumbest @sshole in Oakland County.
    Today, he is just another national republiCLOWN….

  3. Why would multinational corporations give the time of day to DeSantis? Well, probably because they’ve seen what U.S. voters have put in the w.h. and know that there exists a possibility they might have to be dealing with the ass clown in the near future. With the U.S., you’ve always got to be ready for the voters to elect someone completely unfit for public office of any kind including the w.h. They were shown this in the 80’s, in 2000/2004, and yet again in 2016. Counting on U.S. voters to vote for leaders who will put the country’s best interests first, well, it is not a sure bet. Stands to reason these corporations are going to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

  4. It’s all about words and actions in Politics,

    For all their foggy vote records, following the money, instead of those indicators, a lot of us, a little older these days, (baby boomers), who obviously DO NOT, swim in huge buckets of cash, we STILL believe in our Democracy, appreciate the likes of Obama and others, 180 degrees to the left of all the piss-ass unholy GOP names in Congress, Gym Jordan, Rusty Gates, MT Green, trying to NOT forget the professional Idiots like Ted, AR-15, Cruz …

    Our ranks may be losing some more champions, due to ravages of age/health, but the goal of every American Citizen SHOULD be to send Trump to his last appointment to a stinkin’ 20 year reservation in the Colorado Desert, maximum security prison, nothing to see out the windows but vast areas of nothing but desert, would that not be the best punishment for him, no place to plug in his microphone, no more public rants, NO MORE LIES, just sweep the floor moron …

    Smith has golden opportunity to make that all come true … Trump is trying to not melt into a street urchin, holding his tin cup up for more donations … Smith, on the other hand appears to being busy in his back room inspecting the ropes for tying Trump to his crimes, without any way out …

    Popcorn Anyone?
