Shouldn't have said what you said about DeSantis/Gillum race, Trump.




Lawyer for @AndrewGillum cites Donald Trump statement on @GovRonDeSantis as more cause for hearing and document discovery in his federal public corruption case.

The posts "raise serious questions about how exactly Trump 'fixed' DeSantis' campaign and what Trump directed the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office to do, and whether there is any connection to the FBI's investigation and later prosecution of Gillum," Miami lawyer David Markus.

Gee, if Tiffany Cross were on MSNBC, we would get the low down on all this as it happens.

He knows he's in hot water legally. He knows many Republicans are ready to move on given how badly his candidates performed. He's extremely angry about how DeSantis is perceived as the rising star. He also knows that he made DeSantis by endorsing him in the 2018 republican primary.

He could be staying here "if I go down I'm taking the rest of you with me."

Florida GOP. We are just not sure what all the investigations are about but this could well be part of it. Not exactly as Trump relates it but does include Stone and his Proud Boys militia. There is a good article at EW.

DeSantis and Rubio saw landslides when polling showed much closer races. Very suspicious.

Every pole I saw had both Rubio and DeSantis way ahead. In fact Florida might be the only state with the pollsters actually got it right.

Now if you want to say both of them are sleazy assholes I agree with you 100%

He illegally redristricted 5 Dem seats. Gerrymandered to Republican. Right Wing judges wouldn't reject the maps.

do something clearly illegal, they might have said "yes sir" and proceeded to do nothing. Dump would be none the wiser. His understanding of government and elections is so vague, nothing he says about them is guaranteed to mean anything. Sometimes he just makes stuff up to sound cool or powerful. No one knows.

I believe he's looking for evidence of Chump's crimes and this might be helpful.

Even Trump may realize he might have backed himself into a corner that he can't get out of. Trump might've said what he said to say "if I go down I am taking all of you with me."

H4's an even bigger liar than Putin is, although for a different reason. He just says whatever will gain him attention in the moment, none of it means a damned thing and never will.

Florida to vote in a campaign after the Governor's race. Then he was identified as a member of the LGBTQ Community and a convenient person was there to take pictures, post them and end any future hopes he would have for a political office. Just wondering.
