Nobody seems to have a number on how much cash he’s received, though

I tried and couldn’t find it

Any ideas?

they stopped counting at 17 Billion Dollars, and he refused to answer 75 questions due to his 5th amendment rights, does the dollar figure really matter?

Hell, he wanted to drug test welfare applicants using his wifes company Solantic, and charge the state for it.

He's a snake.

VERY. and many of them will vote for him for senate. The Villages is full of people that have retired from up north, want to keep all their retirement money and will turn a blind eye to the social contract although they made money due to it.

This state sucks more and more each day. I've been here 40 years and am ready to leave even if I have to leave my partner behind.

trump supporter, so this makes sense that the FBI would be ordered NOT to investigate him and now that will be used to fire the FBI head and the Mueller investigation will be stopped.

I guess civil unrest is the end goal.

ps

Rick Scott is a terrible human being and is on record as the greatest thief of government money in HISTORY, so he can shut the fuck up but he can also fire anyone he wants AFTER most of your party are in prison.

is legally NOTHING they could do anyway, which makes more sense.

It would have found an adult owned a massive killing machine LEGALLY who was a rightwing asshole; no laws broken, carry on. THUS the problem in this country.


It is legal to be a vicious rightwing racist prick, it is legal to own killing machines no other civilized nation allows anyone to own and it is legal to support the biggest racist and traitor in history.

Reading elsewhere that orders come from the top, and there would be a vested interest in the FBI not investigating a pro trump radical.

This is probably just speculation, but sounded interesting.

Scott and others will use this to fire the FBI people who might protect us from the Russian invasion.

Where was that in the tip they provided?

In other words, what information would they have had to that effect in this tip? It doesn't seem bloody likely that someone concerned about a possible nutjob school shooter would really have thought any sort of political affiliation was relevant in reporting the tip.

One could just as easily argue that the shooter's surname of hispanic origin would have given the Trump administration a reason TO look into it.

But, okay, let's say the FBI decides to investigate. They find a guy with a rotten temperament, bad ideas, and a gun. What do they do next? Task a team of agents to watch him around the clock?

Whatever sort of crazy someone might happen to be, we are simply awash in guns capable of sustained repeating fire made easily accessible to them.

Instead of recognizing that simple fact, everyone is going to find their favorite thing to blame.

If it wasn't for those kids listening to that crazy rock and roll music, everything would be fine and this wouldn't happen.

Does Lord Voldemort know where the blame lies? At the very top? Locally? Somewhere in between?

I say we fire Prezident PeeWee for attacking and demonizing the FBI, creating chaos and dysfunction in their ranks.

32. From the NRA on skeletor:
Fri Feb 16, 2018, 08:15 PM
Feb 2018

Fairfax, Va. – "On behalf of our five million members across the country, the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is proud to endorse Rick Scott for reelection as Governor of Florida.

Based on his leadership on Second Amendment issues, Governor Scott has earned an “A+” rating from the NRA-PVF in the 2014 general election. An “A+” is the highest possible rating and is reserved for elected officials with an excellent public record on critical NRA issues who have also made a vigorous effort to promote and defend the Second Amendment.

“Rick Scott has an unmatched record of support for the Second Amendment in Florida,” said Chris W. Cox, chairman of the NRA-PVF. “Rick has signed more pro-gun bills into law in one term than any other governor in Florida history. Law-abiding gun owners in Florida have a true friend in Rick Scott.”

In addition to the many bills Governor Scott personally signed into law, he also supports Florida’s “Castle Doctrine” law and the hard-fought parking lot law. He respects and supports Florida’s unique hunting heritage and recognizes it is a valuable tool for wildlife management and conservation. Governor Scott rejects expanded licensing and registration schemes, and so-called “universal background checks.”"

Nuff said about this pos!!
