The easiest way to cut through the pretending nonsense is to ask the obvious question, ‘Why now?‘
The Florida Republican Legislature is changing the Sunshine Laws in Florida to block people from reviewing the travel records of the Florida Governor. [HB1495 Link]
The claimed justification is security, to protect the governor and high-ranking state officials. However, the obvious timing of Ron DeSantis pending run for the White House, in combination with his administration refusing to give details on who/how the funding for his private charter flights have been taking place during the “book tour,” makes the new law much more suspicious as constructed.
As noted within a Politico article on this subject: […] flight tracking records show that a private chartered jet last week flew from Austin, Texas, to Japan to South Korea to Israel to London and then, over the weekend, stopped in Boston before finally winding up in Tallahassee. Those stops coincide with the governor’s movements for the past week.
No reply at all — It has been previously stated that this trip is being paid by private donations to Enterprise Florida, the public-private economic development agency that is about to be dismantled by the Legislature. But a spokesperson for Enterprise Florida has not responded to questions as to why a chartered jet — which is likely to be tremendously expensive — was used for DeSantis’ trip. The agency was also asked about how much this will ultimately cost. (read more)
If we stop playing this silly game of pretending, we will accept the billionaire donors who are funding the ‘STOP TRUMP’ operation are likely the same donors who are funding the ‘BOOK TOUR’; who are the same donors who funded the new branding and consulting group in 2022; who are the same donors funding the apparatus of the DeSantis stealth campaign. More succinctly, his control handlers.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
The professional Republican apparatus in Florida needs to control what is visible about the construct of Ron DeSantis 2024. If you ask my opinion, I will tell you from all appearances this fear is connected to a reality that Ron DeSantis ’24 was planned long, long ago. Likely before the 2020 presidential election year.
As a result of decades of grassroots activist work in the state of Florida, much of it led by the patriotic Tea Party movement, the sunshine state has/had some of the most transparent public information laws in the country. Florida is/was well known for the ability of citizens and media to keep government officials in check through public records requests. I have personally used them and will attest to the sunlight process that was always available.
Ever since the people behind Governor Ron DeSantis began conducting a stealth presidential campaign based on fraud, deception, brand imagery and pretense, those same Florida Sunlight Laws are viewed as a risk. The arc of this DeSantis legacy, including the legislative changes he champions as good for the state, does not end in a good place.
If you follow the process to its natural conclusion, what’s predictable is a voter swing in the other direction. Then Democrats will have a lot of powerful tools they can weaponize against their opposition. Tools, currently created by DeSantis, will be used by a host of carpetbagging non and new-Floridians who are putting the state on a path for future misery.
You only need to look at what took place on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives today to get a sense of the legislative crisis they are gleefully creating. This is what DeSantis leadership in the state looks like right now:

Further evidence that the 19th Amendment should have never been ratified and should have since been repealed long ago.
Women’s suffrage has been a net loss for the Republic.
Ann Coulter is fond of pointing out that as soon as women got the vote, government spending and agencies and departments began to explode, as now women had the opportunity to vote for a sugar daddy without having to marry it.
Ann sheds more brain cells in the process of regeneration that the other 99% of women’s combined IQ.

Don’t make this about sex. Congress is mostly men and is both corrupt and incompetent. This is also true of too many state governments.
We need to elect more people into office, male and female, who are principled, capable, and listen to their constituents.
Pardon my language.. but WTH is that!!!
His overseas trip was a total disaster. Pres. Trump has sent approx. a dozen headlines from overseas in a recent email I received and ALL of them were negative regarding this guy. He impressed NO ONE.
Just wonderin’ …Is his book in Top Ten Best Sellers ..in Yokohama? Tel Aviv? Naaahh.
Nope.
You can pick up his book, brand new on EBAY for $11.00 or will accept a best offer.
Another one has it going for $2.95 plus shipping – brand new also.

Wow, the optics on this are not good.
Regardless of the reason they were doing this, this does not instill confidence that the people’s business is being handled professionally & competently.
What’s worse is that behavior reminds me of videos of what Dems have done in the past & I know the majority in this video are Repubs.
That’s the house that Meatball built.
You can’t fix stupid!
Yikes.
Is that the RONa24 rain dance?
As Seb Gorka asked today on his radio program (and has been asking for weeks):
“Why doesn’t DeSantis simply man-up and either sh*t or get off the pot? What is he waiting for?”
Yeah, I’ll take the authentic & “unmanaged” Trump over the inauthentic and “managed” DeSantis every day, and twice on Sunday …
Maybe DeSantis is not a real boy. That is why can’t man up.
<Maybe DeSantis is not a real boy…>
You may be on to something…
When asked upcoming decisions…
He said, ‘It won’t be long now’ 🙂
He is a sleazy snake in the grass.
He’s waiting for the Deep State to “heart attack” Trump.
I was just thinking they have something up their sleeve. He’s waiting for the signal that the deed is done whatever it is before he declares. I think he expect President Trump to be out of the picture before he announces. He needs an easy path. Because he’s not a real fighter.
I would almost vote for JFKjr over DeSantis at this point.
RFKjr, of course.
The RONa culture-covidians will cycle between aerosols, mickey mao, and transvestites to give Florida’s Corona Prince something to talk about at his revivals.

I couldn’t care less if Ron DeSanctus runs, but the problem is the Bill he is about to sign, which allows him to run without resigning from being Governor, totally weakens Election Integrity in Florida. Instead of getting tough, and doing what the people want (same day voting, Voter ID, proof of Citizenship, paper ballots, hand count, etc.) this Bill guts everything….
….It will allow dirty Voter rolls to get dirtier, weakens transparency, and is a total mess. It’s simple, all we want is a Free and Fair Election, and an honest count.
Has there ever been any politician who gives a shit about what follows him?
YES! But you have to go all the way back to our Foundation. George Washington through Axlexander Hamilton and a few more after them. Precious Few!
Yes, President Trump.
Politicians heal the sick, heal the earth, and walk on water…
Why would they give a sh!t about anything else?
You just have to have political faith.

The dancing Florida lawmakers remind me of the “brave” and “heroic” dancing nurses of 2020.
How disgusting of them and Team RINO Ron! to change laws Just For Ron.
I’m a woman, but I’m really disgusted with the women I see in power these days.
There were some very lame dudes there dancing too. So cringe.
I feel the same about a lot of the men Lindy.
Most of all of them are jus awful, male and female.

@Lindy
Thank you for judging politicians based on character, not sex.
What’s scary is some male conservatives, including here on CTH, who are incapable of this mindset. They argue that America would be a utopia if the 19th Amendment were repealed, and women could no longer.
This is a bad idea for two reason:
1. It’s immoral.
2. Joe Biden alone undermines the myth that male leadership leads to a moral, prosperous America.
We need to elect better lawmakers, governors, presidents, etc., male or female.
I am ashamed of those women as well…
Yep,
They’re what I call “Republic#nts”.
Clever 👍
They’re what I call “Republic#nts”
You can’t say “c#nts” in public

A) Is he traveling on taxpayer dime, and time? Yes, or No.
B) Is he traveling on his own time, and dime? Yes, or No.
For A, If yes then he is held accountable to the people for his actions. Unseal the records. If no, then who is paying for this. He owes the people an explanation. Easily done by unsealing the travel records.
For B, On his own time and money, did he put in for vacation or is this a paid leave of absence? The people deserve a full time governor, or if he’s part time then an explanation of his absence. Either way, he’s got some explaining to do.
Why hide something if he’s got nothing to hide?

Why are GOP legislators pushing the change through now?
The records were open under then Gov. Jeb Bush, when George W. Bush was in office at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Flight tracking records show that DeSantis used a chartered jet for the trip — an expense that could run as much as $10,000 an hour but Enterprise Florida so far has not answered questions about why the governor needed a chartered jet.
DeSantis routinely uses a state jet to traverse the state for press conferences and public events. Why has the Florida Department of Law Enforcement been so slow to turn over record requests showing when and where the state plane has been dispatched?
Once DeSantis signs this, I can’t see why there should not be legal challenges already being done now to launch as soon as the bill is signed into law.
It looks like the outcome has been the goal ALL ALONG.
It’s a con job? Trillions at stake.
Nov. 9, 2016 – Atlanta CDC Employees Express Anxiety Over Trump’s Win
“At the General Muir deli across the street from the CDC, a few employees talked to WABE, asking that their names not be used. One microbiologist said her colleagues were crying in the hallways.
“She said she’s worried Trump might appoint public health leaders who may not be in total support of mandatory vaccinations, pointing to Dr. Ben Carson or Florida Governor Rick Scott.
“Another CDC worker said her job collecting data is partially funded through the Affordable Care Act.
“President-Elect Trump has promised to abolish the Affordable Care Act.”

I really hate to see people lose money but, I am making an exception for the scum behind “Little Ragu”, may they lose multi millions.
Can only hope it has that feel of salt in a wound, or better yet slicing your foot open on a barnacle.
Or stepping on a nail.
ouch!!!
They have been losing millions of dollars starting with Jeb and now DS. They may get tired of throwing away millions to stop Trump and have him killed. They will not allow him in DC.
It’s not really thrown away if you’re a consultant.
They don’t have to kill him, they just have to box him in.
They didn’t have to kill Nixon, not sure about Reagan, and JFK, Jr had a terrible accident, so Hillary stepped in. My opinion only.

Nobody joins peaceful insurrections except Wray Eppes and the Nigerian Kay Kay Gay.
Simple. The Democrats are taking notes from the Florida GOP to prepare to do worse when they regain power.
And this is why I’m independent. The modern GOP is just as authoritarian as the Dems.
I wonder if the Meatball realizes now he’s nothing more than a pawn being used by the GOPe in their winner-takes-all political chess match against Donald Trump. RDS is clearly not calling his own shots in his campaign. Just another sign he’s a weak, easily manipulated political puppet.
Don’t let the CONservative pundits try and fool you with their new narrative that the Democrats fear DeSantis more than Trump. They sure as hell don’t. They know he’s controlled opposition. All of their energy is being directed at Donald Trump. He’s their greatest fear!
He’s not a pawn. He is being compensated for all of this while at the same time as collecting his top gov paycheck.
He signed onto this, and chose wealth over principles.
I have a feeling. No, I’ll correct that. I KNOW President Donald J Trump will wipe the floor with meatball. HE’S toast….
They should bring Kasich back, he was the democrat’s biggest fear in 2016.

Hand on heart. If he was allowed a 3rd term, I wouldn’t vote for him, and he won’t get my vote in 2024 IF he announces.
I also just figured out the law the FL legislature passed for the death penalty for child rape goes against a Supreme Court ruling. So, it is just a pretense of doing something to strengthen penalties because it will be struck down.
And the law includes a death penalty is valid if voted for by 8 out of 12 jurors. This is a human life. If the crime is that depraved, all 12 people out of 12 would vote for death penalty.
It’s political theater they think will help sell Queen DeSantis.
Because he’s meeting with people the base detests. Not just the BlackRock types.

What they are actually hiding is how he traveled and who’s private airplane he was on and who paid for everything and who he interacted with.
Silly me, I thought all donations to campaigns or PACs were public info ?
I’m very certain travel on a private jet is considered a donation.
Playing devils advocate…sort of…would RD keep the present Bolsheviks inhabiting the obiden admin?
I tend to think not…
I mean…rhetorically….wouldn’t ANYBODY beat what we have in biden Admin?
They’re not idiots although they appear to sane people to be doing absolutely the dumbest sxxt EVER of ANY admin…
I guess I’m taking the bait…but if we can’t get Trump (whose policies we DESPERATELY NEED!)…..
isn’t RD…even at a distant 2nd best better than yet another Obama admin?
No..
Dek…please don’t just grunt..
I want Trump…straight up that’s who we need…
But we saw what they did to him for years and what they continue to do to him now….and by extension to us…me, I know for sure and I assume you…and anyone else who follows SD…
But damn! ….RD can’t possibly be as bad as the obidens…
But would rather Ron than any democrap…
Nope. Then you start looking at people like Vivek Ramaswamy or RFK, Jr. to find out more about them. I will NOT vote for DeSantis. He is a globalist for sure. Arrogant. No sympathy for people in his own state.
NEVER vote for DeSantis. NEVER.
DeeBrutus can only gain the nomination via some shenanigan that takes PDJT out of the running, one for which he is complicit, and that merits only his political destruction.
The GOP would die as well, it would be my goal in life if they do that.

Interesting question given that Mr “born on the eight day” Ron changes laws to benefit himself and you think he’s better than the demonic rats? He is the demonic rats who changed laws to benefit them to steal the 3020 election. If a man cannot play by the rules the voters gave them then maybe they shouldn’t play.
WRONG!!!!!
DEAD WRONG!!!!!!!!!
Do you happen to know the meaning of “9 – 11” in Hebrew?
“9” is the Letter “TET” which is defined as “Judgement”; “The Judgement of God”; “The End”
“The End of The Matter”
“11” is the Letter “Yod” – “10”, which is defined as “A Closed Hand”; “Strong Right Hand”; “Completeness, Full Measure” + “Alef” – “1”, which is defined as “Alpha, One, Ox, Savior”;
“The Divinity of God” = “11” which is “FIRE”
The Judgement of God IS “Tet, 9” IS “The End of The Matter.
Jesus IS the Strong Right Hand – “Yod”, “10”. “Alef”, “1” – IS The Savior IS JESUS.
“11” IS “Yod Alef” – IS “FIRE”.
“FIRE IS THE JUDGEMENT of GOD”
Donald Trump IS one of Several Different Fulfillments of ISAIAH 45, along with Cyr5us and also Darius.

Isn’t RD….even at a distant 2nd best better than yet another Obama admin?
No. He is not better. He is the same as. Uniparty with the same billionaire donors, multinational corporations and banks.
Since EACH TIME the People turn from GOD’S Choice to the Next Alternative, then the Next Alternative to God’s Choice Only INCREASES in Evilness, every single solitary RUNG, then Historically, it isn’t POSSIBLE to go from Biden to a “BETTER CHOICE” than Biden, as the Alternative to the One that God told you to follow.
Each Time you say NO to God, then your next alternative WILL be MUCH MUCH WORSE than the last one!
Like Clinton was followed by Obama.
I give you Exodus 14 and Numbers 16…
Exodus was Pharaoh and the Parting of the Red Sea.
In Numbers 16, Korah challenged Moses for the Reign over the Israelites. When they were already grumbling rebelling against Moses.
God told them for Korah and his following to stand apart form Moses and those who chose to follow Moses.
When the Israelites saw what happened to them for raring up in Moses (GOD’S FACE), and they had a WALL-EYED FIT at MOSES for what GOD did:
41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the Israelites murmured against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of the Lord.
Well, Moses didn’t do that — God Himself did that – 250 Men and all their Families that gathered with them, all their servants and livestock and all their belongings too – IN A MOMENT!!!!! Moses didn’t even ask Him to.
Then the Rest of the Israelites FALSELY accused MOSES!
So, then God struck them with Plagues and in minutes,
And so Moses told Aaron to run with his Censor out into the crowd that as dying, and it stayed the Plague.
49 Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, besides those who died in the matter of Korah.
50 And Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting, since the plague was stayed.
Those people had NEVER STOPPED grumbling at MOSES since he first returned to Egypt at 80 yrs old to lead them out of slavery, even before the First of the 10 Plagues in Egypt.
I guarantee you, DeSwampAss is not one single WHIT smarter than Korah!
If you think it will go better for you with him, PLEASE, BY ALL MEANS –
By your Leave, Hasten to his warm side!
I’m liking you more and more everyday.
No. Even Vivek is better than DeRino.
Vivek is genuine, clever, not scripted and has Maga policies.
Also just as much a part of the Never Trump Operation as DeeBrutus himself.
And Vivek is Jealous and Envious!
No. Do you prefer someone who lies to you, or someone who just tells you what they’re going to do.
I see Kent is back with the same old garbage….
NO!
And I Reckon that YOU reckon NOT about DeSwampAss refusing to keep the Biden Administration.
That dancing video was weird. Reminiscent of those dancing nurses during the “pandemic.” Just plain weird.
This is what you get when women are in governance. Just one BIG Fin party driven by emotion. Dancing in the peoples house, screwing citizen out of coin, driving up cost of living through regulations. All to save the children.
I was born in that state, left at 18, hit vertical dirt in the west and never looked back.

DeSantis has blown any chance of becoming president by not waiting until 2028.
The Trump team is going to have a Vice-President worthy of ascending to the presidency . It is going to be someone who believes in the MAGA movement wholeheartedly. So during the 3rd year of Trump’s Presidency when announcements for 2028 are made, that VP is going to have a tremendous leg up on DeSantis and any other GOPe candidates.
He could never have contained himself such a long time. He will and always would have been very very many times worse by ’26. He has no patience, he feels he is TOO deserving to have to waif for it.
Like the little Girl in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The VP needs to be DOUBLE PLUS GOOD.
We’re going to need Double-Trump in 2028.

Ha ha ha. This just gets better and better. If you thought there was much difference between Rs and Ds this should disabuse you of that notion.
Where and when did these fine astute representatives of the great state of Florida practice their dance moves?
So happy you mentioned the transplanters, they will be the death of Florida. They always are.
On the positive, due to Sundance, I rarely see people talking about Ron! as their choice anymore, at least on the blogs I follow.
It’s a popular line dance seen in bars. I forget which song, but I recognize the moves.
Correction… it’s an older one- Electric Slide.
I would’ve been impressed if they’d pulled off The Wobble. 😁
It’s worse than the Electric Slide – it’s the Cupid Shuffle.
Cm-Tx I believe it is the Electric Slide.
Is he employed by the state of FL or not? If yes, then the citizens have a right to know what he is doing on their dime. The secrecy around his travel plans smacks of the same shenanigans the Clintons were always up to with the Clinton Foundation. Or the Biden family pay-play schemes. This stinks to high heaven.
No Way on THIS Green Earth he has TIME to be doing his “REAL JOB” at this point – the Reason those LAWS were EASILY PASSED to make them resign if they wanted to go on the Campaign Trail.
I have a pet theory on DeSantis. It might be pure bunk, but here goes…..
The Deep State, et al, have grown weary of Xiden and his over-the-top corruption and woke insanity. While the current occupant of the White House was better–in the eyes of Sauron–than Trump, gropin’ Joe has become a liability, along with most of the Democrat party.
Enter DeSantis.
Guv Ron is backed by the establishment GOP, and he can be managed and controlled to perform as the Deep State et al, expect, plus he will be a welcome respite from the woke insanity of the current administration. Guv Ron will attack cultural issues, make some very modest–but brief–economic improvements, and polish the turd of Xiden’s foreign policy disaster (make nice with NATO, sound tough with China, and try to lure Saudi Arabia back in the fold).
In sum, he will be another Bush/McCain/Romney type GOPe president who presents a picture of real change, but does little more than tap the brakes on our descent into totalitarianism.
Folks, we ain’t voting ourselves out of this.
You can vote your way INTO this mess, but you have to shoot your way OUT.
Lol@Show ponies at the dog and pony show.
The meme tells the story. DeSantis is a plant, they are using his popularity as a ruse to corrupt the voting process in FL, and will turn it into another Arizona. That is the minimum return on the uniparty investment in DeSantis. The maximum return is a corrupted FL, DeSantis as a stooge in the White House, and a co-opted MAGA same as TEA party.
They can’t lose, even if they cheat another 4 years of sniffer joe, they still win. In reality, they need DeSantis to win while they consolidate their cheating techniques and say “see, the elections are OK because DeSantis won.
DeSantis’ Florida success on COVID was allowed by his handlers. If the vaxx was bad, as DeSantis administration says, then why wasn’t it banned? Even DeSantis’s handlers/investors have their limits.
Policies that make good state governance are not a secret, the challenge is finding an independent governor to do them.
DeSantis is just a Bush, pick one, any one, and the shoe will fit.
Meatball pushed the vax HARD
Doughboy DeSantis. What a loser. Just a fatter form of ¡JEBurrito!
DeSantis sure did.
It’s sad that only ONE GOP governor, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, completely rejected vaccine mandates and COVID lockdowns.
I’ll pick one (jeb) Bush light…
I tell the people around me that think DeSantis may be the one:
DeSantis went to Sea Island and met with about 50 donors that want things like they were Before Trump. The NAFTA, WTO, CFR, WORLD BANK, IMF WAY.
HE got $200 MM.
And 50 votes.
Then 2 weeks later he met with between 5-15 more donors who started a anti-Trump Pak for him.
They gave $50MM.
SO, he’s got $250MM,
and maybe 60 votes.
You can see how many votes Trump has every time he fills an airport, a field, or a stadium.
He doesn’t need money to reach his people. Just say where he will be, the MAGA Folks show up.
Then I ask, do you really want the economy you had when the Dimm/Rino/ Uniparty ran things?
It’s a good elevator speech, I’ve changed about 5 minds just last week.
You elevator speech is going really great too, keep it up.
I believe that if DeSantis runs our next POTUS will be whomever the Globalist put on the Democratic slate, even if DeSantis is on Republican general election slate in 2024
I’m wondering why so many of the Florida lawmakers are apparently doing crazy persoal type things for DeSantis
Did Florida elect a slew of globalist as lawmakers or ???
Its like the DeSantis is King of Florida and the Florida lawmakers are his servants doing what even DeSantis wants.
I’ve been wondering the same thing. We’ve been had.
Yeah! Ya’ll were.
I think they want RID of him. And THIS is the Fastest way to get him to leave the State, entirely.
This ought to really piss off the people living in Florida!
It does!
Can some one explain why the run up to the RdS campaign is so inept? Where did the advice come from? This stealth campaign is so inauthentic.
Apparently this is mostly the work of those behind Cruz 2016 and Jeb!
Exactly this.
I’m starting to wonder whether the candidate has any input whatsoever into his campaign.
Oh, he is SO eating this up – he finds it all Very Flattering! And so does Wifey!
I don’t think that matters to the administrative state.
Grenell says Trump administration officials that supported the president’s America first policies, would get investigated by the administrative state for using the wrong bathroom. He mentioned they’re still pulling his emails looking for something to politically target him with when he was ambassador.

Pre-election 2022… I catch an interview between Jeb! and Tapper.
Jeb! seemed to have the talking points ready for Tapper’s questions about RONa’s possible run for president, he listed all of them, perfectly. The language he used was interesting.
“My guess is, I’m not a great pundit on these matters, but my guess is there will be a yearning for…A) A new generation of leadership in our country in 2024, and B) candidates focused on the future and not the grievances of the past.
“I’m not, ugh, going to get involved in a primary before we get to the end of this election cycle, ugh… but I can tell you he has strong appeal outside his state…”
–Jeb Bush Oct. 20, 2022 Tapper Interview CNN
Please Clap?
DeRino should of got rid of the cheating election machines.
If the Dems ever get in you will never get the state back!!!!
EXCEPT GOD IN HEAVEN!
GOD Himself can Always do it! In the Snap of His fingers.
The great Lou Dobbs just posted this Article on Truth Social!
Have a link for that?
Or a screen capture to post?
Why don’t the oligarchs just skip the middleman and run JEB! again?
My guess would be they want a candidate more intelligent than JEB! but not too much more. This one fits.
Same thing, Different Face, Baggage not so well known to the rest of the country, as JEB!’s is.
Can anyone explain why C Edmund Wright is in “Team DeSantis” picture?
Looks like they are closing the barn doors after the horse already ran away … Does the political class truly believe we are that stupid ..? Asking for a friend
I wonder if Ron DeSanctimonious’ plummet is due partly in any way to a certain CTH SD frequent commentary on the issues………..
I’ve dropped a name here and there….
Comments about when will he announce/Seb Gorka saying, “either sh#% or get off the pot.”
Might it be his handlers seeing his plummetijg numbers and not letting him announce? He’s like one of these banks recently with zero stock value……and this time, US taxpayers ain’t payin for the toxic sludge.
Welcome to Florida, the next Caliornia!
The Dumbasspora assures such a fate.
Day by day, the chrome is peeling off of the great white hope of the Washington, DC Establishment. Now, Desantis is starting to look like who he really is, and it isn`t that white knight everyone has been fawning over. Thanks, Sundance, for shining light on the Sunshine States’ stealth presidential candidate. I always learn something new at CTH and I know it is the truth.
This is going to be the most rigged election cycle ever. For some the reality of our enslavement to an un-elected cabal will really begin to sink in.
If a politician’s travel records have to be sealed, it can only mean that certain information has to be kept from the prying eyes of the citizens. Too many questions, would have to be addressed.
I thought Florida legislators loved trump? What’s going on?
Never Trump Billionaires and Derp Staters spreading the grift around.
They’ve bought an extensive “influencer” operation, and no doubt have been working on assembling DeeBrutus’ team for a good while.
That sounds a little hate speechy to me.
Be careful, the victim-police might be listening.
These are very sensitive and emotional political matters.
I think they are trying to help DeSanctimonious leave, one way or any other that works!
I saw my Dad do that to a couple of hired Hands that thought they didn’t need to work on the job at all. Dad felt because their family friends went back 3-4 Generations that he couldn’t fire them, without losing some great friends in their families – First Time I saw him do that, give a guy a great recommend – I was sooooo furious!
Daddy told me to wait and see what happened.
The guy got a much better job, but he lost in in a few months, and came back looking for the old job again.
Dad Was So Sad, it was Too Bad, but he had filled the slots and couldn’t squeeze another one in at that time.
Jis’ PLUM broke his heawart, don’tcha know!
