Ron DeSantis....

Nov. 2020 she was still working for Mikhail Saakashvili and seems to be living in the Rep of Georgia. Pushaw had no connections to Florida. Now she works for DeSantis as his propagandist.


Putin? Ask Ron DeSantis what is up.

Gov. Ron DeSantis will return the $50,000 he received as a contribution from two South Florida businessmen who helped President Donald Trump’s personal attorney look into his political opponents in Ukraine

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman were arrested Wednesday night and charged with attempting to funnel foreign money into U.S. politics. The alleged scheme included straw donations in which the duo masked the source of their political contributions by sending them through a newly formed Delaware corporation.

In June of 2018, they gave DeSantis $50,000 through a company called Global Energy Producers. They made the contribution one day before Trump endorsed DeSantis for Florida governor.

Just like Paul Manafort pushing for Pence to be VP or Jared getting 2 billion from Saudi Investment Fund run my MBS. Yep, a great big fat coincidence.

How positively on point. Love this:

" . . . she wanted to do her part to prevent the devastation caused by socialism . . .from happening in our country."

Birds of a feather, as they say. Same old memes, same old garbage.

They hire by philosophical alignment rather than capability.

DeSantis has done it for positions such as Surgeon General. That guy has no connection to Florida or public health. What he had was an opinion about Covid 19 that aligned with the Governor. Same with the new trustees at New College who are culture warriors trying to undo everything they deem to be woke.

Many of Trump's lawyers are people he found off of TV or Op-eds. Just blow smoke up his ass and he will give you a position.
