These... things... can't be humiliated.

I'd love to see Paramount, which is part of a huge corporation, sue that PoS for copyright infringement or defamation or something else.

for the most part. He wants voters to think he was a pilot engaged in combat. Sounds familiar.

Mainly because every Aviation Ordnanceman in the USMC (including myself) didn't pick that as their first choice for their MOS. Most of us wanted to be in crash fire rescue. I assume it's because if we're crazy enough to want to be around 1000+F flames, then we can handle working within close proximity of several hundred tons of explosives. Not to mention all the drinking and fornicating (not all of it straight) going on during the weekend.

Ron DeSantis on the campaign trail.

More bling than a Walmart greeter

This doofus is so deep into fantasyland that they don't even
bother to challenge him or ridicule him.

Usually they hammer the fakes.

Well, they don't ridicule him in a way that he can recognize.

Doesn't have a clue what most of those decorations mean or how they're worn.

All I can think of, he may have mental illness issues. Or somebody (a really mean SoB) has been pranking him.

DeSantis should have modeled himself after JAG.

Those heroic lawyers did it all.
