There’s a bill before Florida to help cover a candidates legal fees with taxpayer’s money. No specific candidate is mentioned, but everyone knows who it is.I doubt the bill is constitutional and it probably would be vetoed, but talk about partisan over-reach.
The Florida legislature continues its quest to change their state into a GQP utopia, transforming it from the state with a Magic Kingdom to a state that is a MAGAt Kingdom.
According to reports, Gov. DeathSentence suggested he’d veto any legislation for using taxpayer money to pay for the orange narcissist’s legal bills. He shows that he may have a modicum of decency but it will likely cost him his political career. Gosh, what a pity.
All true except the fleeing to moscow,…he will never flee because he won’t have to. The Reich wing will protect their false messiah to their dying breath. Hopefully the republicon party takes that dying breath SOON!
Meanwhile, homeowner insurance rates are skyrocketing, Ian victims can’t get repairs done, our roads are clogged, the legislators all think they’re doctors, and we have deteriorating prenatal care.
Too bad the trolls aren’t here. I was going to point out to them that Clay doesn’t “hate” Traitor Trump, he has contempt for him. All patriotic people do, whether liberal, conservative, or (like myself) moderate.
I read Clay’s angry blog. After wading thru the multitudes of F bombs and other words this site would reject, he sez he wouldn’t want taxpayer money in his state to be spent on legal fees for Trump if he lived in Florida. I agree, I wouldn’t want my tax dollars used in this way for any politician in any state. F that!
In its ruling that former President Donald Trump does not have presidential immunity in the January 6 case, a federal appeals court said his immunity claims would reject “the most fundamental check on executive power.”
“We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes that would neutralize the most fundamental check on executive power — the recognition and implementation of election results. Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count.” In addition, they said that Trump’s stance “would collapse our system of separated powers by placing the President beyond the reach of all three Branches.”
“Presidential immunity against federal indictment would mean that, as to the President, the Congress could not legislate, the Executive could not prosecute and the Judiciary could not review,” they said.
Throughout their opinion, Judges J. Michelle Childs, Florence Pan and Karen LeCraft Henderson repeatedly eviscerated former President Donald Trump’s behavior after the 2020 presidential election as unpresidential and constituting an assault on an American institutions.
“Former President Trump lacked any lawful discretionary authority to defy federal criminal law and he is answerable in court for his conduct,” the panel of judges wrote.
Their scathing opinion describes the former president as using his seat of power to “unlawfully overstay his term as President and to displace his duly elected successor,” all which would violate “generally applicable criminal laws.”
In fictional and real-life stories, you see the educated, successful person getting a pass on wrong-doing for the simple reason that they ARE educated and successful and have “contributed to society.” I say, if you’re educated, successful and in a position to “contribute”, you should be held to a higher standard of behavior. Nowhere is that more true than when it comes to those who (ostensibly) govern. (Not that I would TFG in the classification of educated, successful or contributing.)

Trump can truly claim the title of the world’s greatest con artist. Only because America has so many suckers, more than one born every minute.
