DeSantis says…
…that Florida will not assist in extraditing Trump:
The weaponization of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head.
It is un-American.
The Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet, now he is…

I’m not sure why that got cut off, but the rest reads as follows:
…stretching the law to target a political opponent.
Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda.
A lot of responses there are to the effect of: “You’re next, Ron.” As with Trump’s indictment, they’re willing to manufacture the offense if necessary.
So when I said the other day “move to a red state where their government will protect you from what the Federal government and blue states are up to”, this is what I’m talking about.
The Federal government cannot easily use its power without at least the tacit cooperation of the state it’s operating in, not unless they want another civil war. (As for another state, forget about it.) Who knows, maybe they do want another war.
Everyone knew how stupid this was, they went ahead with it anyway, so I can only assume they believe they are going to do well out of it somehow. They may be too stupid to know they’re wrong about it but I don’t think that’s the way to bet.
I believe there’s more. Check against the Right side bar at Ace of Spade — I saw it posted there in longest form.
Trump knows better than to resist this. The charges will be dismissed by any honest judge. A lot of events lately seem to be aimed at stimulating a right wing revolution. I wonder why they are so certain of success if it happens? The right is the law abiding section of the country but it is also the share from which military recruits mostly come.
Mike K ~ “they are so certain of success” … Their success is destruction of all we hold dear. They either have to lock Trump up … or resort to something more permanent.
@Mike K:is also the share from which military recruits mostly come.
Was once. They have DEI in the military now too. And they’ve been loosening standards so they won’t be as dependent on the recruits they used to draw.
Thank God, and Thanks Be to DeSantis for being a big man and standing up for justice in spite of Trump’s spats with him and his spats with Trump.
Will other red state governors issue similar statements?
DeSantis takes the high road when he had been called all sorts of names & accused of all sorts of complicity in Deep State shenanigans…Hmm…Well done.
I’m concerned we will be surprised when the indictment is revealed.
Remember, we were told yesterday that the grand jury was released for a month.
So, what is going on? Was that a lie? A tease?
Or is this coming indictment actually from another, better behaved (quiet) grand jury? And nothing to do with sex??
Meanwhile, back in Bragg’s NYC… (passing over all the violence and thuggery and moving straight to the point):
“Asian NYPD cop racially harassed in caught-on-video Times Square incident”—
https://nypost.com/2023/03/30/asian-nypd-cop-racially-harassed-in-caught-on-video-times-square-incident/
Though apparently this is merely “protected speech”, sayeth the judge…
‘…Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Shlomo Hagler tossed the lawsuit last year, ruling that while the verbal assault was “obscene,” it was constitutionally protected free speech.
‘ “We don’t get paid enough to put up with this kind of vile treatment,” Lynch said Thursday.
‘ “And more and more cops are realizing that and taking their talents elsewhere.” ‘
It would seem that having cops be demoralized and quit is precisely the goal.
To be sure, Bragg’s busy at the moment on other momentous things…
The Banana Republic, after all, has its priorities.
Ron DeSantis, American hero.
Kudos to the governor.
Standing firm, no nonsense, no wavering, he should be an inspiration for many.
To be sure, the usual suspects will do their damnedest to make him pay for it.
One hopes, against hope, that the GOP—all of it—will rally to do the right thing?
Pence, no matter what one thinks of him, has already done so.
But where the hell is Dubya? (Though it’s looking increasingly as though the “W” stands for “Without”.)
POSSIBILITY: is the indictment NOT about Daniels, but payments to Karen MacDougal, former Playboy model. Or more likely an alleged pattern using both, somehow construed as CRIMINAL.
@MikeK ” The charges will be dismissed by any honest judge. ” an honest judge, in New York?
Judges there knows what’s good for them, and what’s good for them is doing as they’re told by the ruling elite. Not just good financially, but good for their health (as in, they won’t get Clintoned).
And Trump, like Epstein, won’t ever face a judge anyway, he’ll end up in the same place Epstein did and exit in the same way too (i.e. in a body bag).
Trump knows better than to resist this. The charges will be dismissed by any honest judge.

Honest judge? In New York? Hahahahahahaha!
ETA: I first typed my comment and then saw JTW beat me to it. They don’t necessarily need to convict. The process is the punishment.
“POSSIBILITY: is the indictment NOT about Daniels, but payments to Karen MacDougal, former Playboy model. Or more likely an alleged pattern using both, somehow construed as CRIMINAL.”
Felony being disliked by a liberal, 100 counts.
And the next act in our current manifestation of Kabuki theater which is the federal government will be psychiatric detentions for those in opposition to government pronouncements of any kind, for their own good.
DeSantis is a good man. Presidential timber.
Alvin Bragg provides the appropriate bloated, vicious image of the decline of NYC.
I appreciate DeSantis comments in regards to the DA, but the whole extradition stuff is just political flexing. I doubt Trump wants to avoid Bragg, and now way does Trump want to be constrained to Florida or just red states during the 2024 campaign to avoid facing Bragg.
Trump’s lawyer is setting the right tone. Bragg is about to be nationally humiliated. Bragg may have grabbed the brass ring in getting Trump indicted, but so has several other lawyer politicians. This is just Impeachment 3.0 with Trump having more rights to defend himself.
The end result is Democrats creating a weapon that will proliferate and be used against them. It took about a year for the French revolutionaries to learn about this phenomenon.
On Morning Joe today, former MO Senator Claire McCaskile was cackling that DeSantis was violating the constitution by not extraditing Trump.
Getting rid of that woman was a huge upgrade in the Senate.
Given that California and Minnesota have now enacted laws which require their authorities to violate child custody orders from other states in cases where the children have been brought for sex change procedures, and that leftist cities around the country are routinely refusing to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, leftists have a very weak case for claiming DeSantis is doing something unconstitutional here.
And it doesn’t really matter. Trump will fly up to NY and put on an arrest and perp walk spectacle, with NYC police assistance.
Michael Hiltzik, in the LA Times today, was crowing about the Disney coup to prevent DeSantis’ new board. I still miss Cathy Seipp when she outed Hiltzik as the author of sock puppet comments praising himself. The LA Times is also anticipating more lawfare against Trump. I tend to agree about NY judges but it will be interesting to see what the reasoning is to deny a dismissal.

The SOROS plan is working as designed
The red states rubes do not comprehend that our Italian satellites will control the Dominion voting machines.
DeSantis is just grandstanding he has nothing to do with an extradition order. It is purely judicial . He can not help or hinder. This stuff he does is what bothers me about him, just political bullshit of no substance.
if Hilzik is crowing about, he’s got it 180 degrees wrong,
Keith:
Your remark is absurd, much like almost everything the anti-DeSantis league says. And if I sound unusually harsh, it’s because I am completely sick and tired of the self-destruction I see on the right.
There is literally nothing that DeSantis could do that would get your approval. He is a man of action in Florida, the only place he has power. But for that he is criticized because, after all, it’s just the state of Florida. He has done tons of things there, including meaningful election reform. But none of that is good enough for the DeSantis haters, who are mostly OnlyTrumpers. One can approve of many things about Trump without hating DeSantis, by the way; that’s my position.
Now DeSamtis has said he would not cooperate with Trump’s extradition from Florida (not that he would stop a judge from issuing the order, which is a different matter). That’s all that’s in his power to do re Trump; he can’t save Trump and certainly can’t stop Trump from turning himself in. So you call it “grandstanding”
You are either someone who refuses to give credit to DeSantis for anything, because you see him as a threat to Trump, or you are a leftist troll pretending to be on the right. I think probably the former, but the latter is also possible.
@Neo “You are either someone who refuses to give credit to DeSantis for anything, because you see him as a threat to Trump, or you are a leftist troll pretending to be on the right. I think probably the former, but the latter is also possible.”
Or both. DeSantis has better chances of doing well in the next elections than does Trump, simply because he’s less of a windbag and has a more agreeable personality, certainly for the moderates.
And he doesn’t have 4 years of failure as president (a lot of it not his fault, not with a hostile House and Senate as well as a hostile bureaucracy actively sabotaging his presidency) on his record either.
IMO Trump is the default loser against anyone in a presidential race, if he gets the nomination the Dems could run a corpse and it’d win.
If DeSantis becomes the Republican candidate there’s at least some chance of an interesting election cycle, though I seriously doubt any candidate can oppose the greatest election fraud machine in US history (Biden’s words, not mine).
… the Dems could run a corpse and it’d win. –JTW
That’s the plan.
with mail in ballots and other lawfare, that marc elias has pioneered, ‘fairly easy, barely an inconvenience,’ for his chinese masters, that’s where his lawfirm regrouped to avoid accountability,
