That was when you had to buy politicians for your business or you would get wrecked!

So corruption is okay if Trump does it?

Isn’t Clinton the person he beat like a drum and sent into retirement?

I assume you're unfamiliar with the term "controlled opposition"? Roe vs. Wade was hurting the Rats more than it was helping them by keeping black birthrates low, therefore it was an acceptable sacrifice. When it came to what the globalists really wanted (the clot shot to kill off the elderly) Trump delivered. No more vaxx-pushers please.

To me, DeSantis still has that smell of a career politician.

It's the smell of Fallujah during the bloodiest year of the war.

During the surge, DeSantis served as a senior legal adviser to the SEAL who commanded Special Operations Task Force-West in Fallujah, Navy Capt. Dane Thorleifson. DeSantis was responsible for helping ensure that the missions of Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets in that wide swath of the Western Euphrates River Valley were planned according to the rule of law and that captured detainees were humanely treated, said his commander at the time.

Yes. In Fallujah. During the bloodiest year of the war.

Don't diminish his service. He was there, in-country, a helluva lot closer to the action than Donnie Bone Spurs ever got.

I thank DeSantis for his service. However, serving in the military doesn't mean that someone can't become a career politician.

I'm not DeSantis' enemy but he's got some convincing to do, not only me but lots of people.

I think it’s interesting the absolute silence from the usual suspects. after Ron’s moves in Florida during his term in Florida.

If Trump has tried any of them, the howling would have fierce.

The question is, why were the GOPe, theRNC, politicians silent?

Because of this I will not vote for DeSantis in 2028. I pity the fool. Don’t dare say a word to me.

You sound like a crackpot.

So Trump's televised promotion of Operation Warp Speed was a collective hallucination experienced by every Freeper, was it? Or are you saying the clot shot isn't part of the globalist agenda? But sure, I'm the crackpot. Let's go with that. /s
