The Gullible

[57Brave]

like they say down at the tavern, " everybody is a Libertarian until their house is 10 feet under water "
.......

The Florida governor, who as a congressman opposed aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy, is seeking relief from the Biden administration as Hurricane Ian ravages his own state.


“But you know, when people are fighting for their lives, when their whole livelihood is at stake, when they’ve lost everything — if you can’t put politics aside for that, then you’re just not going to be able to.”

The tonal whiplash for Mr. DeSantis reflects a different job and a different moment — a Tea Party-era House Republican now steering a perennially storm-battered state dependent once more on federal assistance to rebuild. Yet even in the context of his term as governor, the hurricane has required Mr. DeSantis to test another gear.

To the "Gullible" that surely will be the takeaway - I agree!

This morning, I spoke with Governor Ron DeSantis to discuss the steps we're taking to support Florida in response to Hurricane Ian.

I've also directed FEMA Administrator Criswell to travel to Florida tomorrow to check in on response and survey where additional support is needed.

The irony of this post under the thread he titled "The Gullible" is so rich I almost think he's gotta be trolling.

But I know better than that!

[sturg33]

57 thinks the inflation reduction act is a bill designed to reduce inflation

It is perfect that he started this specific thread

[57Brave]

wow, got both the right brother out from under the bed.

Read the record

[sturg33]

I applaud the representative for not letting a tragic event as an excuse for the feds to spend billions more than they need.

Making me like him even more!

Trump’s paid-speeches organizer is struggling financially

A company that puts on for-profit Trump rallies, including an upcoming Mar-a-Lago gala and multimillion-dollar fees for the former president, is having trouble paying its bills

A company that organized a lucrative series of post-White House paid speeches for former president Donald Trump is now struggling to pay vendors, investors and employees, angering Trump allies who supported the effort.

The American Freedom Tour, which struck a multimillion-dollar deal with Trump after he left office, has lost two top executives and canceled events in a number of locations as it has failed to pay its bills, according to people familiar with the activities and documents obtained by The Washington Post. Its founder and owner, who has a history of bankruptcy filings, recently sought bankruptcy protection again.

The group has promised events in a number of locales but canceled them before they began and appears to be banking on a large event at Mar-a-Lago in December to turn its financial position around.


With speakers, affiliates and investors all clamoring for their money, one of the people involved who did get paid was Trump, people close to the former president say. Some Trump advisers have warned against doing future events, though Trump has expressed interest.

It’s not clear what that means for the tour’s advertised upcoming black-tie gala at Mar-a-Lago, with tickets starting at $10,000 a couple to spend time with Trump. The event includes a poolside reception and a formal ballroom dinner. Dinner and a photo with Trump costs $40,000, and a private library meeting with Trump is so pricey that it’s only listed as: “INQUIRE BELOW.” The company declined to say how much Trump is being paid for the event.

yet still fight to get to the head of the line to defend him.
At every turn.

Everyone that get's near him gets burned

205 House (R) voted against expanded mental health access in schools.

Because it is not the guns.

Every (R) voted for the 2003 HEROES Act to help out vets fighting in the Middle East, now 19 years later it’s being used as the legal justification for a half a trillion dollar vote buying scheme by a desperate (D) President.

We certainly need more folks in office willing to consider unintended consequences who are less afraid of being dragged on Twitter because of “bad optics.”

[thethe]

What % of your day do you spend thinking about Donald Trump

[57Brave]

What % of your day do you spend thinking about Donald Trump
