    lmao, this comment of a guy trying to defend desantis uses an interesting strategy....

    He was sweating because it was hot in the small area where he was standing. Everybody in there was sweating but it didn't stop them from cheering repeatedly because I watched it happen. Anyway, that's a cheap shot for a headline by Newsweek. Democrats used the same smear tactic to cast doubt into the minds of the public with Nixon in 1960. Tried to make him sound untrustworthy because he was sweating during a debate. Meanwhile, the air conditioning wasn't working for some reason that evening and it was suspected that the Democrats had something to do with it.

    yeah, this is just like how some people cast doubt on a sweaty Nixon being trustworthy, when history has shown he was a a pretty cool guy, and an honorable president.

    😓

      Is it me or are the right-wing conspiracies getting stupider over time? Imagine having in your back pocket a 60 year old theory about that one time the DEMONRATS played with the thermostat. Grill-dads across the nation are aghast!

      EDIT: of course it gets funnier (in a Jonkler kinda way) when you realize that fiddling with the thermostat to spite dad isn't that far off the mark when describing libs.

      Well, at least he didn't say the Jews. I want to make it very, very clear that my Cabal Cell had nothing to do with DeSantis looking like a 1,000 pound pig in a sauna. Nothing at all to do with it. Okay, okay a few of us with ventilation/filtration expertise were in Tulsa but that was merely a wild coincidence and they were on a vacation. You know - doing what people do when they are on vacation in Tulsa which is... I dunno. Cow tipping? Skinny dripping? Shroom tripping? A/C disabling?

      Seriously - Team Democrat vs Team Republican brain means all the fans can never just take the L. There's always, always an excuse and it's usually because the other team cheated. The brain worms also lead to stuff like this - https://hexbear.net/post/272269
