The last thing this country needs in the White Hiuse right now is another Ivy League lawyer who has never worked outside government in his life.

—————————————————————————

How about an Ivy League BUSINESSMAN who has never worked INSIDE government in his life?

Oh wait. We tried that. Didn’t work.

The spillway’s purpose is to allow excess water to escape the reservoir without endangering the integrity of the dam.

There’s your “dam” comment.

He’s staying our governor here in Florida and not running for president in 24. And he has no business experience.

“This needs to be corrected by DeSantis”

This issue is well vetted. No need for DeSantis to do anything.

Here only since 2016 (an analog guy ). And it’s different even from then.. Covid brains and masks too tight. And panties in a wad, mind you.

” but don’t try to equate sitting in the Green zone filling out divorce papers for troops stationed in Iraq “

Dude, he wasn’t filling out divorce papers for troops.

He was assigned specifically to SEAL TEAM ONE.

His legal advice to that team was of the utmost value.
