The king of manipulating Wall Street shorts is Citadel founder Ken Griffin.
The Wall Street hedge fund billionaire has made most of his money betting against Main Street stocks and then manipulating their downfall to reap the rewards.
Griffin is despised by small investors, especially the Reddit WallStreetBets group who went head-to-head against the titan in the Gamestop and Robinhood story {backstory}. Recently Griffin moved his financial HQ from Chicago to Miami after giving Florida governor Ron DeSantis $10 million for his reelection effort.
Bloomberg News reported earlier today that Ken Griffin has said he is open to taking the position of U.S. Treasury Secretary after he is successful installing Ron DeSantis as the 2024 presidential winner.
[New York] – […] Griffin also revealed that he would be open to serving as Treasury secretary in a Ron DeSantis administration if the GOP governor of Florida decides to make a bid for the White House in 2024.
He told Bloomberg that he “will definitely be involved in the presidential race” and that he would consider moving to Washington, DC, if called upon to do so by a Republican president. (link)
There are trillions at stake…
Until we can outlaw bribery, We are in an uphill battle.
Outlawing bribery would be an exercise in futility as it would just metamorphisize into something with a different euphemism, but functionally identical.
It is an eternal battle to challenge the fallibility of the human condition towards corruption.
That metamorphosis has already taken place – and many times.
That is why most polititians now have political nonprofits. Make a donation!
The spoils system was in effect before we had a “professional” permanent bureaucratic class. I think you could argue that the spoila syatem worked better, only if it forced a turnover in the government staff every 4 or 8 years. The spoils system could be called bribery of a sort but at least each new incoming administation could bring in its own people. As we have seen, we now have a permanent overclass of “professionals” who are 95% liberal and riddled with corruption.
Even that icon of far left ideology FDR was wary of unionizing government employees, now it is the eternal albatross around the neck of this once great republic.
When the Supreme Court ruled that money is speech most of us were left with no voice whatsoever.
So political donations are bribery now?
Only if the one receiving them is a crook.
Yes in fact quid pro quo donations are bribery. Especially by that globalist snake.
That’s no mere donation…. that’s “pay to play”
I’ve always regarded political donations / campaign contributions to be a form of legalized bribery.
It’s one thing for a grassroots citizen to give a small donation to a politician that they support, but it’s a completely different thing for a wealthy person or entity to give large donations to a politician.
Small donations by regular people are not usually able to buy political favors or power.
In fact, I’ve given small donations to grassroots, populist, MAGA conservative politicians that I support in order to help their campaigns, and not out of any intent or desire to curry favor.
Large donations, however, nearly always buy some sort of political favors or power.
Any large political donations made by someone like Ken Griffin were most definitely made with the intent to purchase political favors and power.
And apparently happily accepted by DeSantis.
Re “Until we can outlaw bribery, We are in an uphill battle.”
Bribery is already a crime; thereby proving that passing a law against something will not stop it. Bribery, like most illegal acts will not stop as long as such acts are useful to those who offer and accept them.
What we need to do is recognize traitors like DeSantis and stop electing them to positions that make bribery useful to themselves and the one offering the bribe.
There is more than one way to solve a problem. The Russians defeated these same kinds of scorpion people during the 1990’s and have fought a running battle with them ever since. Senior officials in the Russian Federation government are forbidden from owning overseas (out-country) property, tangible or intangible, because it is an obvious conflict of interest. I doubt we have a single senior government official from either of our two corporations masquerading as political parties in the last half century who DID NOT own foreign property in one form or another. They see themselves as the operators of a global empire, so they see this as a perk not a problem.
USG security clearance investigations for the little people are final. If they say no, it means no. Clearance investigations of senior government officials result in yes or no recommendations to the hiring authority. If the hiring authority say yes (and they always do because if they didn’t want that individual they wouldn’t be bothering with the investigation in the first place) then they are hired anyway in spite of their innumerable suspect loyalties and conflicts of interest.
Our corporates went along with shipping our industrial complex to communist China because they made fat profits, but our politicians went along because the Chinese were suddenly flush with US $s and some of it got spent on them. Pelosi and McConnell are not the only two pols who have gotten rich off the China trade.
DeSantis is the new face of the RINO
The Maga RInO
DeSantis will capture tTrump MAGA networks and remove the economic platform from Trump MAGA and will insert Cultural MAGA
This is exactly what Obama Biden did with anti globalization movement and created WOKE
We will have Cultural MAGA
Notice how DeSantis is virtue signaling to the MAGA meme makers and influencers who are economically illiterate and presumably insulated from Main Street economics
You are so right on. The media, Dems and establishment Republicans will exploit the the divide between the cultural MAGA and MAGA. It’s been happening. J6 is demonizing MAGA and Martha’s Vineyard is creating a wedge between culture MAGA (DeSantis) and the rest of us. I base this on some of the comments on other post. We’re being told to not worry about DeSantis, we need to just get past the next election. Are any other alternative sites reporting on the big money donations ? The culturals have no idea they’re being played.
Its happening on this site. People are given the facts then spend every
which way from Sunday trying to dispute them.
how about intellectually illiterate
The media/propaganda is creating Desantis, they can build him up, however the can take him out. Trump needed no one, Trump was Trump and he won.
And all that Trump accomplished while in office was wiped out by Bidens pen.
When a president continually uses the words “witch hunt” to describe unlawful, unconstitutional acts taking place in his own administration, I can expect a president will once again not use existing federal laws and constitution to restore the Republic.
For sure he was a political neophyte and hamstrung by Rinos, Special Prosecutors and the entire federal bureaucracy.
Exactly why he needs to be the one to go in and purge.
Yep. That’s something Rush said often. He was right. They didn’t make Trump so they couldn’t take him down.
That is mighty crackerish of him .
KEN GRIFFIN- man with $$$$$ sign in the his eyes…hmmm…..
He’s got Charlie Manson eyes………
He has Adam Schiff’s eyes…
LOL Good ole Schifty Schiff Sch!t
that photo, if it’s unaltered – dude’s got crazy eyes!
It’s unaltered, he always looks like that. His hedge fund is the largest market maker on Wall Street. He basically runs all the stock buying and selling on wall street
There is no way around it. If DeSantis where to run it would all but guarantee losing the Presidential election. The turmoil with in Trumps base will split his support and divide us into two camps. It will result in a bitter primary where the losers supporters will not show up come Election Day.
Which is exactly why DeSantis will run in 2024….
Exactly what the Uniparty plans.
Wrong. DeSantis has already stated he has no plans to run for POTUS. He is currently running for Governor of Florida not POTUS.
everyone should know: DeSantis will turn 50 years old … in 2028, repeat, 2028!
running for President in 2024 can ONLY be because of what is described above.
If DeSantis cares about his Country First, he will LOUDLY support the Peoples President and reap the rewards later, while still very young to enjoy the benefits. But, if he falls to the ‘Dark Side’…
I’m hoping (beyond realism?) that what’s going on now is a ‘smoke ’em out‘ operation with Trump’s approval.
possible war chest for VP….
Re “Wrong. DeSantis has already stated he has no plans to run for POTUS. He is currently running for Governor of Florida not POTUS.”
DeSantis has been actively campaigning for the office of president since the day he was sworn in as Florida’s governor.
How many examples of people who claimed they weren’t running for President, and who later did anyway, can we think of?
It’s not like they suffer any pushback for that lie – not if they’re UniParty…
If Ron doesn’t follow this well-worn path of bamboozlement – at this point, I will be very pleasantly surprised.
Indeed I would need to celebrate by sending PDJT a donation for his campaign – in Ron’s name.
the optimum word is “currently”
Have you seen any of the polls??? Last one I saw was Trump leading DeSantis by about 50 percentage points! DeSantis will not beat President Trump. Zero chance. The money bags and media can promote him all they want, but the people are for putting the rightfully-elected President back in the White House.
And the people will not look favorably on anyone who stands in his way. He’d best be careful.
He may be a bit surprised to find out that Trump supporters know who the REAL president is and will not take second-best.
Griffen starts the bidding at $10,000,000.
Do I hear 20?
As a grassroots, populist, MAGA conservative Illinoisan, I hate Ken Griffin.
When he was in Illinois, Griffin was the financial godfather of the RINO, Chicago centric Illinois GOP.
Griffin bankrolled former RINO governor Bruce Rauner whose only accomplishment was to make Illinois the first state to have taxpayer subsidized abortions.
Griffin also heavily subsidized the failed gubernatorial primary of RINO / Democrat Richard Irvin.
Griffin paid every RINO in Illinois to endorse Irvin.
Irvin thankfully lost to the grassroots, populist, MAGA conservative, Trump endorsed Darren Bailey.
Griffin was so enraged that Bailey beat Irvin that he moved to Miami.
That’s great for us MAGA conservatives here in Illinois, but it’s obviously bad for Florida.
Expect Griffin to finance the Jeb Bush establishment RINO faction of the Florida GOP just like he financed the RINOs in Illinois.
It sucks that DeSantis is one of the politicians paid off by Griffin as Griffin is most definitely a neocon, globalist, corporatist, RINO and not MAGA at all.
Thanks for “reading us in” on Greased Weasel Griffin.
CR…
There is a message for you at the bottom of the comments on the Lord’s Prayer Open Thread from Jaelsnail who promised you some info about a location on research land purchased by China. I replied when I saw you I would pass it on. Cheers.
Spike, you are 100% correct. I live in Illinois.
Greetings fellow MAGA Illinoisan. I can’t argue against anything you said about Ken, but I will say he has helped democrats in the past as well which makes double dangerous in my opinion.
reminds me of Soros – goes in to destroy, then moves on to something else to destroy
Sorry — he has those ‘crazy eyes’.
I’ve also noticed that the majority of those trying to sexualize children in schools have nose rings.
I am not one to stereotype, although I do notice patterns.
G-d Bless Boris! Shabbat Shalom….. And Steve Bannon
DeSantis needs to give the 10 million back to Griffin.
” WILD EYES “…
Unlike President Trump, if ronnie arrives at the WH in 2024, he will have a mile-high stack of IOU’s!!! We need to say NO to traitor Ron. If it wasn’t for President Trump, Ronnie would not be governor today and if he decides to run against him then he’s no better than mike pence, paul ryan, mitchie etc. At least with the dems we know upfront how bad they are.
Over at Right Scoop , ronnie is being promoted. Today it’s being said that Ronnie leads Trump in Florida as the 2024 candidate. I don’t believe it. It’s a repeat of 2016 pro-cruz. I’m banned over there, but perhaps someone from here could enlighten the commenters.
Dear peace,
Short answer is No. I live in FL. We do want DeSantis as Gov. But no one I know in FL wants him for President.
Maybe sometime down the road FL will want DS as President but right now, NO. Trump back is all I hear.
Forget polls, and whatever Right Scoop is, it is not reflective of the FL I live in.
Best regards from Northern FL ❤️
Thanks 😊 good to hear
Sure a lot of people professing to be from FL on various sites who are promoting Ron for President.
Hi Country Gal,
What you stated is true, as I too see those posts. Just for the record, I do truly live here.
My previous comments stand. Ron needs to remain as Gov. in FL. Many here feel he is not ready yet for that job, and also want Trump to be rightfully restored to President.
Blessings to you and yours!
Thank you. Blessings also to you and yours. Peace be with you.
Read it in Daily Mail and the New York Post as well. Lots of fluff for a guy who’s “not running”. Worse than that were the comments. The mass psychosis is strong when the media leads it.
Counting chickens before they hatch … or let tha cat out of the bag too early – choose your metaphor and what does young Ron have to say about this ?
WEF controlled DeSantis
Is becoming obvious now
Unless you like to pretend
Trannyslation? $10M ticket punched. NeoConsideration conveyed. And accepted. That’s some donation from one source if in fact it wasn’t pooled from hidden snakes of the McConnell-McCarthy species. And NO ONE parts with that kind of bone expecting nothing in return. No. One. I don’t care how much he’s worth.
Big fat NO WAY! To the both of them. No! No! No!
I am no fan of Kenny. He is manipulating stocks for personal gain. (IMHO).
Research AMC movie theaters and what Citadel is doing and you will know exactly why I am totally against Kenny.
I Will never understand these people that crave power. If I had $10 mil to just give to a candidate, I wouldn’t give it to a candidate. That would mean I had so much money that I could officially retire and disappear into the nothing. I would be living in some remote area in my prepper compound that was self sufficient and completely off the grid. I would have minimal contact with anyone that wasn’t my family or closest of friends. The last thing I would want is to have some entourage of little snivelling DC pleebs following me around basically for the rest of my life.
You have to have a mental disorder to want to live that kind of life. Yuck.
Do they realize how many inboxes these RDS articles are being sent to?
It’s humorous because they think they’re being so cagey and the world will know what’s going on by election time.
In reality, these are rank amateurs.
I am always amazed by the lack of critcal thinking and insight from people.
This article is another attempt from the media to sow discord. Their intent is to form the narrative to cause division and a total lack of discernment(not the blog, the Bloomberg article).
Was it re-posted here to denigrate DeSantis? Maybe so.
Was it re-posted here to cause conversation, contemplation and critical thinking? Maybe so
I believe you should always move forward cautiously with your eyes wide open. TRUST NO ONE, especially politicians and lawyers.
So a DeSantis PAC took a 10 million dollar donation from a crook. The crook later said he would accept a position as Treasury Sec. in a Desantis administration. No mention of a DeSantis comment or acknowledgement.
To be clear, it was 2-5 million dollar donations. 1 to Friends of DeSantis PAC, and 1 to the Fl. Republican Party, which will benefit all candidates. We already have false facts from Fake News.
What is the big deal?
As much as we despise it, politics rely on donations and deals. Everyone does this, you will not go forward without playing the game.
Even Trump plays the game.
One of the first things Trump did in Jan. 2017 was file for reelection so he could begin fundraising.
He raised over 1 BILLION dollars, a good portion was from non profits and was dark money(anonymous donors).
The next thing he did was fast track the Dakota Pipeline. He pushed thru the final portion which was drilling under the
Missouri River on American Indian land. His rational was this is in our “national interest”.
The relevance?
A Trump PAC received a 10 million dollar donation from Kelcy Warren the co-founder of Energy Transfers, the company that owns the Dakota pipeline.
A Trump PAC received a 10 million dollar donation from Tinothy Mellon, a railroad magnate.
A Trump PAC received a 3 million dollar donation from Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of the Blackstone Group.
Trump has received 1 milloin dollars from the DeVos family.
Sound familiar?
Betsy was the Secretary of Education under Trump and has moved on to supporting RINOS and anti MAGA candidates.
The point is, as Trump says, you “Take The Money”.
Did Trump open the Dakota for a $10 mil. donation?
Hell No. He did it because it was the best thing for our country.
Was Trump tainted by dirty money? Not at all.
Will DeSantis be pressured by big money? Let’s hope not.
Please read up on who Ken Griffin is and see Spike Protein’s post.
Well stated ,It is sad, but I think a LOT of CTH folks are very cynical about our current GOP reps. . I know I am . I guess you are a little more realistic about how the sausage is made in politics. I hope for the best with RD and I truly hope you are correct.
That man looks like he sold his soul.
Name one politician who does not do this. Until the laws stop allowing this kind of transaction then you will get the rich elite and corporate moguls trying to influence elections and candidates. Sure, the candidate should only accept the little peoples donations right? All the while their opponents run the tables with megabucks sent their way by the corrupt corporate money lenders. I don’t condone taking all this kind of bribery money at all. Just stating the reality as it stands today that must be dealt with.
DeSantis is one of many. So let’s call them all out. Don’t vote for any of them. See who is left over to place your bets on and go with them. Sure way to lose everything we need to get done.
Again, if PTrump doesn’t or cannot run, WHO IS THE PERSON TO GO TO for MAGA to succeed? I’d like to know who I am supposed to back of I cannot back PTrump.
why do we allow these kinds of donations?
Putting the diabolical Griffin in charge of the Treasury would be as smart as putting a senile corrupt old quockerwodger in the White House.
How embarrassing! How humiliating! How delightful! Ken Griffin owning Ron DeSantis. How’s that feel Ron?
I see what you did there, Mr. Higgins. ☺️
“How poignant it will be
On that inevitable night
When Ron pounds on Donald’s door
In tears and rags…”
You got it!
Lol. Desantis. The reason trump wins is he brings all working class fractions together. Trump isn’t normal politics. To suggest Desantis could do the same, he just isn’t that electrifying, more like non dole with a stick.
Kari lake ….? She’s much hotter but still not trump.
Matt Gaetz could be trump. Stop with this Desantis crap. He’s great, but he’s not got the magic of trump, never will.
Remember governor Walker? He lasted about 30 seconds in the ring with trump. Desantis is the latest shiny thing – like JEB! Or Walker, or Thompson what’s his name?
Matt Gaetz? You have to be kidding. Empty weasel.
DeSantis is just one example of what I’m calling the Ultra RINO, a hybrid of eGOP and MAGA. A combination of America First principals and funded by Corporate donors. It’s based on the the demographics taking place w/the elders soon to pass on or retire. Masters, Youngkin, and Vance are a few other examples.
like oil and vinegar?
Wish I knew DeSantis or had access to him – Because if I did I would let him know that his stichk isn’t working and normal peeps like me aren’t buying what he’s selling. I am am a TRUMP peep 100% — As Rush said NO one can move me away from trump except him BUT the outsiders keep pushing me closer and closer in his fold. 45-4-EVER
You do have access. Call his office.
I have in the past, and I’m not even in Florida.
His staff is pretty polite.
It’s very easy to reach him. His email is readily obtainable by doing a search online.
I did send one like what you want.
If enough of us get involved, they might get the picture.
Disgusting POS.
DeSantis’ doner list (past and present office) will tell you where he stands.
Two years now I’ve pointed at that while being called a jerk for it.
I have a great appreciation for Sundance and CTH exposing RINOs, the deep-state, and the Davos agenda; however, all the glancing criticism and innuendo written here about DeSantis makes me wonder some things…
Trump repeatedly stirred the Democrat base into a frenzy as an end to itself (meaning, without making gains for the movement) by picking fights without follow through. Remember when he sort of banned transgenderism and wokeism in the military, then backtracked when the deep-state pushed back. Or when he promised to “lock her up” for flagrantly violating the law, but then let Hillary and company walk Scott-free. There were multiple times he got into tit-for-tat exchanges with the media which, despite our enjoyment, did nothing to actually get the deep-state disentangled from the media complex.
Trump failed to use his veto effectively to force congress to pass necessary reforms on 1) the border, 2) immigration, 3) the surveillance state, 4) the military and its use, 5) big tech censorship and control of information, or 6) election integrity.
Trump got into bed with GOPe anti-incarceration agenda for releasing violent criminals – helping lead to the massive crime increases all the GOP candidates are now running against this election cycle.
Trump encouraged the Covid lockdowns and allowed Fauci to run roughshod over the national response in the WH and across all media platforms, making it incredibly difficult for states to reopen again.
Trump allowed Antifa and BLM to riot in the streets for months without any response from the national guard or the other alphabet agencies to effectively stop the summer of violence. Even at the point of attacks on federal buildings and the formation of an “autonomous zone” declaring an actual insurrection against the US government to form a new nation, Trump did not intervene and never followed through to see justice done.
Trump allowed the integrity of his last election to be totally undermined and failed to effectively litigate against massive fraud. Even the relatively easy wins, like the violations of law in Pennsylvania, were not brought up in time to matter. If you believe Trump supporter and confidant Dr. Peter Navarro, Trump had ample warning that his campaign was not working effectively to protect the integrity of the election and he still failed to address bad actors in his midst and change course.
Trump got chummy with McConnell, McCarthy, Graham, and Romney. Trump endorsed these RINOs and many of their allies against actually promising challengers.
On paper, you could not better describe an example of controlled opposition. Yet, the folks here at CTH act like Trump can do no wrong.
On the other hand, DeSantis has taken concrete action to repeatedly force the RINOs in his state legislature to join him on important issues to create more enduring changes.
DeSantis reopened FL while Fauci was free to trash him constantly and lend credibility to the attacks that he was a defacto murderer.
DeSantis used state funding to pressure colleges to keep costs low, rather than be a completely unfettered slush-fund for the DC uniparty… long before Biden was in office with his giveaway.
DeSantis successfully pushed legislation that would penalize big tech companies for political censorship.
DeSantis successfully pushed legislation opposing woke indoctrination in public education.
DeSantis has used state contracts to punish companies that hire or transport illegal aliens to to his state.
If you are looking for an example of bold and effective MAGA leadership, DeSantis could be the poster-child. But here at CHT he is to be viewed with the highest levels of suspicion.
Personally, I am not looking for DeSantis to replace Trump on the national scene. This double standard just drives me up the wall.
Yes, we should keep a close eye on everyone acting with political power. But we should also support the people who advance our cause and encourage more to follow their examples, not defensively do the work of the GOPe to bash everyone advancing the cause (except Trump).
More gopE BS
There is absolutely nothing MAGA about DeSantis. And there never will be.
MAGA is Main St vs Wall Street.
MAGA is economic security equals national security. And a Poison Ivy JAG lawyer has nothing to do with that.
I am a Floridian and a gopE owned politician does not advance my cause.
You are stuck on D vs R. We are way past that. R does not equal MAGA.
My goodness how you have been fooled by precious little Ronnie. He did lockdown Florida as well. He said the same thing about the vaccine as PDJT did, he just didn’t force it. Ever stop to think that he only does certain MAGA-like things to make himself look good to the MAGA base?
and its always shouted all through a press conference
When one of these governors is getting stabbed in the back by his own GOP legislature, denied his picks for senior staff by same, and investigated by his own law enforcement agencies, let us know.
Trump is the ONLY reason any of these issues have been exposed. But I’m sure the Chamber has some donors picked out who can fix it all.
Wow!
Well, that seems to settle the matter, doesn’t it?
Cross eyes .watch out
Its not just the eyes; it’s the half smile.
His expression says bamboozler , trick up his sleeve. A frog saying “ trust me lady I’m a prince.”
I’d send that 10 million back on the next mail truck if I were DeSantis. He doesn’t need that kind of help.
Trump is going to be thrown in prison for non crimes. Cases will be in front of hostile judges and jury pools will be from heavily leftist areas. The GOP nomination will be cleared for DeSantis. With Trump out of the way in prison most of the MAGA base will support DeSantis.
Don Jr.??
Ineligible. Not “native born.”
Nope.
Provide your source please.
No way in Hell because we’d damn well know he was in on it, just like the raid on Mar-A-Lago.
He is a tool to help ease away those that would accept such a weak trade, that is fully disqualifying for a MAGA vote even if, no, especially if, his buddies push Trump out of the way.
To those saying, well, we need a Plan B just in case, I say we will see who doesn’t have PDJT’s political blood on his hands should the unthinkable happen, and anyone stepping up to offer themselves when we have a champion light-years beyond any of them at this point is a Derp State tool. (Those saying he is not running are militantly disingenuous.)
I will never settle for DeSantis. Screw Plan B.
This post should be a reminder to all who attack Bannon from the “right.” Stop. Schedule F….
Don’t be surprised if Griffin is there to entrap DeSantis. He’s sidling-up now with lotsa cash and influence-peddling, but his real goal may be to entrap DeSantis or people in his inner-circle much the same way Epstein did with many hundreds (or thousands) of people in the deep-state and congress.
This guy is a certified termite. DeSantis would be wise to keep a large gap between anyone on his staff and Griffin. Violate that rule and you’re fired.
The backstory barely mentions Citadel as one of many hedge funds among others taken to the cleaners by the retail traders on reddit due to the fact that it was the favorite short stock on planet earth for many good reasons. These retail traders made out like bandits but, they are betting on a company without much in the way of prospects going for it. I hope it turns out better for them than the people still holding their Blockbuster stock.
Installing Ron DeSantis is inflammatory and unbecoming. According to the report you posted, he gave Ron’s PAC $5 million in Apr of 2021 and the republican party of Florida $5 million in 2022. A little mischaracterization. Boris labels Griffen a never Trumper. I have no idea but, surmise that that is the issue here. I can understand why he wants to move to Miami from Chicago. Much nicer down here especially under Governor DeSantis. If I had Griffen’s money I might hand over a few million to the guy myself.
Mr Ken Griffin should get a new profile picture. Those are crazy eyes.
Hahahahaha well Kenny boy didn’t move his company to Florida for nothing.
I’m posting this again because it bears repeating.
Some years ago Paul Volker spoke to the Economics Club of Florida. He spoke as the Chairman of the Trilateral Commission (yes, that Trilateral Commission). During the Q&A portion of the program he was asked about the Commission’s position on Social Security reform (a hot topic of the day). His answer was telling – that the Trilateral Commission did not concern itself with domestic political issues – only with “free” trade and international commerce. See why Trump and the deplorables are a threat? Judges, guns, abortion, schools, “woke,” etc are NOT important to the Big Club – only international business profits – and thus the Chamber moving our factories and jobs to China while our GOP pols talk “conservatism” and the DEM pols talk “progressivism.” Also note that Trump has been speaking out against the Big Club agenda as outlined by Volker for decades, and therefor he was marked as a threat the minute he came down the escalator. Anyone not opposed by the Big Club is not to be trusted, as they seem most likely to be just another “CONservative front face to help the Big Club move YOUR money and jobs elsewhere.
— Marshall (social status: not in the Big Club)
Griffin giving the governor 10 mill is tiny. He funded 40 million to a republican gubernatorial candidate in Illinois and that person got beat handily.
Dude moved to Florida, and word is he has a little more cash available as long as his man plays along.
Incidentally, just how many potential Treasury Secretaries does RdS even know?
Which prompts an off-the-wall thought, is this possibly Duh Club attempting to boost RdS by presenting a credible cabinet for the Governor with no economic creds who is definitely NOT wink wink running for President?
Wow.. just wow. I have stories about Ken as I lived in Chicago, but this says a lot more about Ron.
Tell me about George Soros, Zuckerberg, Gates Foundation, Mail ballot drop boxes, interference in local & general elections, foreign purchases of American land, the virus & vaccines…
Phew! And I’m just getting started!
MAGA! 🇺🇸🙏🏻

Money corrupts and big money corrupts “bigly”.
Would it not be poetic for DeSantis to take any and all donations, then run a MAGA agenda and tell all complainers, it was a donation, not a bribe !
I still daydream sometimes, silly me.
so that plan is structured…..what else or should I say who else is lining up
for jobs in the projected DeSantis administration?
