Two planes carrying migrants were sent by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday night, his office said, infuriating Democratic politicians and prompting a frenzied response that included humanitarian aid by locals and assistance by Massachusetts officials.

It's the latest in a series of moves by Republican governors to transport migrants to northern liberal enclaves to protest what they say are inadequate federal efforts on southern border security. Located off the coast of Massachusetts and long known as a posh summer destination for wealthy vacationers, Martha's Vineyard provided an unusual and unexpected place for the migrants to be sent.

You really can't make this up. DeSantis is sure that this is going to ...."Help Him Win Reelection."
In reality, this stupid move, taking credit for sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard will do one thing for
sure: "Motivate Democrats to Register and Vote Come November." In Florida where DeSantis is running for reelection,
DeSantis has created a reason to defeat him and get people to vote him out. This news is national, and sending migrants
to another state, instead of dealing with them in Florida is a sign of unwillingness to deal with a problem. And, also being very mean. Why were these put on planes? What did DeSantis tell them? ........
.......... Did the migrants know they were going to Massachusetts?.......

Again, it is a sign that someone can do something very mean and.."Get away with it.".

1. Backfiring city ......

It's proving that DeSantis, Abbott, etc. are so called Christian bullies. GOD don't like ugly while treating fellow human beings like shit.

2. I like that term: "Christian bullies"...fits DeSantis, Abbot & others perfectly.

Will that term help or hurt him in the election in 6 weeks? We will all find out....Yes,
the election is 6 and 1/2 weeks away.

9. So Abbott and DeSantis are using taxpayer money to act like american coyotes

The right wingnut Governors are playing stupid again, not political theatre
just cruel treatment to vulnerable people, treating them like livestock is truly unamerican.

Someone is lying! DeSantis claims credit for two planes ...

... This DU post reports that the planes to Martha's Vineyard originated in San Antonio, Texas.
"According to flight tracker website, FlightAware, two flights from company Ultimate Jet Charters originated at Kelly Field in San Antonio arrived at Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday at 3:12 p.m. and then at 3:28 p.m."

5. Follow the money. This is a campaign stunt, should be campaign funds not taxpayers

6. how is this not kidnapping?

7. When these fuckwit states get hit by a hurricane

and their governors ask for federal aid, tell them hell no, you are on your own.

They have money to put towards stupid, cruel political stunts then they have money to take care of themselves if disaster hits. Bootstraps.

8. desantis put aside $12 million for transporting migrants.

11. Federal Laws Were Violated!

So if I want to board an airline, I have to have real ID and all the nonsense for clearance to be onboard?

YET, state of Florida BYPASS the system to transfer the migrants to another state?

What do we know these migrants are? Are they REALLY migrants? Wouldn't surprise me that there were undocumented homeless Americans.....

12. Loading people onto transports without telling them where they are going.

Stephen Miller must really like this.

[purr-rat beauty]

13. Then it won't take long to press charges...

For kidnapping, human trafficking, and I'm sure some other heinous violations of human rights

Desantis is done

14. Anything the DeSantis does is blessed and sanctified as long as he has a Republican State Congress

and a Right Wing Supreme Court. Florida is what it looks like when Republicans gain complete control of government.
