I’m amazed how many Republicans think Democrat David Jolly is just going to come in to be governor and boss around a supermajority Republican Legislature. That has never happened in American history.
Learn some civics.
My thoughts exactly
Any Republican who has ambitions to be the leader of the party going forward has to confront Trump head on. They also have to completely rebrand. Stop using his slogans and pet words. Lastly they have to build their own base and not try to inherit Trump's base. Trump's base will follow whoever he tells them to. Trying to get in his good graces hoping that he endorses you is a fool's errand. Be your own man and confront the evil that has taken the GOP hostage.
The Villages has a new specialty license plate. How about that??
There is also a new one for “Florida Film Legacy”. Very long overdue. The American film industry was born in Jacksonville and St. Augustine before it moved to other places, including California.
Interesting take. Crossed my mind as well.
Trump was the one blocking the release of the Epstein Files, not Bondi. He still is. Bondi is long gone.
I guess that slipped DeSantis’ mind as well.
I had no idea Chris Christie said this yesterday.
His personality is what is needed. A fearless badass who would salivate to take on Trump.
And, yes, DeSantis is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. He might defend Trump against Christie.
🚨Just in: Chris Christie is now calling out Governor Ron DeSantis (@RonDeSantis)
“I think the governor is getting ready to leave office, and he's looking for a way to be relevant. And I think he looks like he's talking out of both sides of his mouth.”
This is 2024 all over again. I kept repeating how it would be disastrous to elect Trump for president in 2024. Very nice persons suddenly became angry and nasty. I was blocked by so many.
Now, in 2026, I simply point out that Ron DeSantis is not psychologically equipped to do what currently needs to be done for the Republican Party and we need to look elsewhere. His cult is attacking me in the exact same manner.
The biggest stock trader of all was Trump. I guess DeSantis simply overlooked that.
Governor DeSantis says the NUMBER ONE reason Republicans lost is corruption like Susie Wiles lobbying schemes, insider trading and prediction markets.
DeSantis says you are going to find out the extent of it when Democrats start investigating.
“Think about it. You show up to Congress. You've never displayed any investment acumen in your life. All of a sudden, you're meeting Warren Buffett with this suspiciously timed trade.
Oh! A company that is actually under one of your committee's jurisdictions. That is just something. And then you see all the other things. And you're going to see a lot more in the news, I think, in the next few months. And that's going to be the focal point, probably, of the Democrats' investigations and oversight.
But the reality is that was the number one issue that voters thought was important. It was even more important, if you look at the polling, than economy. And that was very high, too. And then it was just general lack of confidence in Republicans beyond that.
I get elected to Congress in 2012, sold the stocks. I’ve never traded a stock in elected office. Why? Because I don't want to be in a situation where I do something and then, oh, you did this and you voted this way, you did that. I’ve never done it.
I declined the pension as a member of Congress and the health care. In governor, we've increased pay for state employees a bunch of times. I never took it for governor. My salary is the same as it was there.
The idea that public service is a way to leverage power to enrich yourself was anathema to what our founders believed.
And so I've tried to lead by example with how I behave. But what you're seeing in Washington is clearly not consistent with what our founders believe was necessary to kind of create a foundation for a successful republic. So I think we should ban the congressional stock trading.
You should not allow them to be making money on prediction markets. You should not be able to allow the way the lobbyists and everything happens. So there's definitely things that need to be cleaned up.
Republicans should be leading this. Weren't we the ones saying, drain the swamp not a few years ago? And yet the Democrats now are able to take that and they're making hay out of it. But that was a big issue.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”
Might as well get an early start
BREAKING: Axios now reports that Republican leaders in the House of Representatives are preparing for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to be removed from office by a vote as early as this week. Republican lawmakers who lost their elections and their seats in Congress will join the Democrats in the vote.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
House of Representatives votes to impeach, not remove. (See US Constitution, Article I) constitution.congress.gov/constitution/a…
With all his endless flaws, the only person I can see who can evict Trump from the Republican Party and would certainly be willing to run in 2028 is Chris Christie. A Republican who openly insults Trump and never danced around Trump’s feelings.
I think Christie would love every minute of it too.
Mitt Romney was never a corrupt criminal. But, sure, we prefer a conman instead.
DeSantis STILL defending Trump. He’s never going to be president. Unspeakable
🚨 JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis says DONALD TRUMP remains the DOMINANT force in the GOP and we're NEVER going back to Mitt Romney types
"I hear these people like going back to MITT ROMNEY being it?! NO! That's NOT happening!" 💯
"I just want to be clear...if we had a primary or caucus tomorrow with Republican voters, they would vote to renominate Trump again if he was eligible. I don't think it would EVEN BE CLOSE."
"When Trump came down the escalator he was hitting on things that resonated with just average people. And we've delivered on some of that, like the border...Trump Accounts are VERY good."
Trump has BIG wins to build on in the final 2 years as we get gas prices down
Congress should try to pass the stock trading bill BEFORE Dems assume office in January, send it to Trump's desk and he will sign it!
