Will Ian keep Nazi DeSantis from kidnapping anymore immigrants?
will the Nazi use the money to actually help the people he serves rather than engage in cruel, illegal political stunts intended only to serve himself and his sinister agenda?

Oath Keeper and Trump-supporting traitor forced his wife to be a stripper
Oath Keeper and Trump-supporting traitor Stewart Rhodes forced his conservative Morman wife to be a stripper to put him through school
Adams family had set aside money for her to go to college, but after their wedding Rhodes decided he should be the first to attend school. He told her she would need to quit her job teaching ballroom and country dancing and instead support them both by working full time as a stripper so he could focus on doing an excellent job in school, according to Adams. They married, but she found stripping degrading and it clashed with her conservative Mormon upbringing, she said.
Every night the drive was just so bad. I would just throw up every single night before I went in, it was just so awful, Adams said. Rhodes would pressure her to go further, increase her exposure or contact with men to make more money, she said. It was never enough ... I felt like I had given up my soul.

Ron DeSantis's Cruel Treatment of Migrants Is the Future of GOP Policymaking
The Republican Partys platform is all about trolling the libs.But one of DeSantiss achievements in his study of the Trumpian arts stands out above the rest. The Florida governor has, perhaps better than anyone in the contemporary GOP, mastered Trumps main innovation: shitposting as policymaking. He has wrangled with Disney, one of his states most important employers, over made-up culture-war beefs about inclusivity and wokeness. On Thursday, he arguably took things further than ever, by flying dozens of asylum-seeking migrants to Marthas Vineyard.
...
There is no actual point to DeSantiss actions beyond weaponizing his own petulanceand the fervent hope that somewhere, even if its just online, some libs will be triggered. Its a policy that accomplishes nothing beyond doing a grave indecency to some needful human beings for the sake of a live-action troll job. Its only point is to garner some attention from the Fox News set by portraying people who are merely seeking safety and economic security as violent criminals and traffickers. The 50-some migrants who were spirited away are just pawns in a political stunt aimed at raising DeSantiss profile as presidential primary season nears.

How heartless, inhumane, and non-Christian does one have to be to use poor desperate people
as political props to promote your anti-American politcal agenda?
Seriously, how immoral are DeSantis and Abbott? One really has to wonder if they qualify as human
