This is the actual issue in our country. There are real human individuals that think exactly like this guy. A lot. Part of our citizenship is is living in a world of their own creation with alternative facts, and convenient excuses for everything. Oh, also.... they have ZERO accountability.
This. In every reasonable discussion I have with friends and family of any political persuasion, we all agree on that. There is no accountability anymore, especially by our so called "leaders". "Little people" like us get held accountable everyday, be it by our employers, spouses, friends, etc. But the higher one goes in this country, the less accountability they have. All those years we had "guardrails" in place for the presidency? Trump blew right by them with a, "So what? What are they gonna do, fire me?" attitude and he was 100% proven right. He and his staff (Kellyanne in particular) shit all over the Hatch Act with huge smiles on their faces. No consequences. His Republican buddies refused to hold him accountable because to do so was to put themselves in the same crosshairs. Trump made it okay to be an egregious asshole EXACTLY because there are no consequences, and we've seen his moronic "base" eat it up (and run with it) like the ignorant, boorish clowns they are. Or they make up lies to cover there own malfeasance, like blaming the Democrats(?) for January 6. Half this country is either too stupid or too morally compromised to live. Probably both.......
until there is accountability there's no love of country....love in my definition means unconditional trust....if we did what Trump did we'd have been in prison on Jan 7th....now his orcs are really feeling empowered. How many lawsuits can these jerks buy their way out of? At least a dozen traitorous Republicans are still in office today after throwing the country to the wolves literally.If DC keeps this up I'd vote for redrawing the map of the US....
We are living in crazy town. The thing is though, things aren't this horrid through incompetence. This is no accident. These anti-democracy, actual literal traitors in power play dumb on TV for votes. Most of these right wing authoritarian cretins went to Ivy league schools with the family money. The things that are happening are being inacted purposely and with a plan.
I say bot. When someone who, so far as I know, never posted here before pops up with some idiocy, then vanishes, I wonder if it's an actual person.
Burner account for someone who needs to appear as if there's a larger group with that mindset than there actually is. A way to "like" your own posts maybe?

This Florida health official who said DeSantis fired her because she wouldn't manipulate COVID data got wrecked by state investigators Daniel Payne May 27th, 2022 4:30 pm Many of you may remember, in the earliest months of the pandemic, a weird little dust-up in Florida wherein state epidemiological worker Rebekah Jones claimed to have been fired by the DeSantis administration because she refused to manipulate state COVID data to make DeSantis look good. This may be totally and completely surprising, but it turns out that those claims were... completely untrue: State investigators dismiss Rebekah Jones's claims of Florida fudging COVID-19 data Rebekah Jones' sensational allegations about COVID-19 data being changed to make Florida look good were 'unsubstantiated' and 'unfounded'. WWW.TALLAHASSEE.COM https://www.tallahassee.com/story/n...ms-florida-covid-19-data-doctored/9953780002/ A state investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing in connection with the explosive allegations brought by Florida's former coronavirus data expert, who had accused top state health officials two years ago of firing her for refusing to manipulate COVID-19 data to support the push to reopen Florida after months of quarantine. Specific allegations raised by former agency data manager Rebekah Jones — who gained national media attention with her sensational accusations against the DeSantis administration — were either "unsubstantiated," meaning there was insufficient evidence to prove or disprove, or "unfounded," concluding the alleged conduct didn't occur, according to the findings. Absolute shocker here folks! Over at National Review last year, Charlie Cooke penned a blistering takedown of Jones's claims, one in which he outlined her disturbing history of disturbing behavior: Rebekah Jones, the COVID Whistleblower Who Wasn’t | National Review The former dashboard manager alleges a vast data conspiracy in Florida; not a word of it is true. WWW.NATIONALREVIEW.COM https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/05/rebekah-jones-the-covid-whistleblower-who-wasnt/ One is almost left impressed by the strange alchemy with which Jones manages to transmute her own bad behavior into lucrative victimhood. A 342-page "manifesto" that Jones penned in 2019 gives example after example of this tendency. She manages to cast herself as the injured party in the passages in which she describes violating a no-contact order to engage with an ex-boyfriend, damaging his car, and harassing his mother. She also manages to cast herself as the victim in the parts in which she records being fired from Florida State University for having sex with a student in her office and for lying to her employer about her criminal record. She even presents herself in defensive terms in a now-removed part of the document that contains explicit text messages between her and her ex-boyfriend, as well as close-up photographs of the man's genitals. (A misdemeanor stalking case against Jones, filed by Florida in 2019, is ongoing, although the cyber-harassment and cyber-stalking charges have been dropped or narrowed, as were earlier charges, relating to the same individual, of trespass, felony robbery, and contempt of court.) Everywhere Jones goes—whether it's Louisiana State University (where she got her master's), Florida State, or the Florida Department of Health—she seems always to leave a trail of wreckage. And somehow, it's always someone else's fault. Indeed—and even in spite of this latest humiliating defeat, she's not giving up: She plans to sue the state in federal court for wrongful dismissal now that the state investigation is complete. "It's something that's been a life-defining experience," Jones said of her confrontation with the DeSantis administration over the COVID-19 data. I bet! I'm sure the federal court will be happy to define it a little further for her!

https://www.newsweek.com/2022/06/10...-trump-trump-all-way-white-house-1709703.html How Ron DeSantis Could Out-Trump Trump All the Way to the White House His every utterance seems calculated to send progressives into a frenzy. He's one of the most prolific political fundraisers in America. His endorsements of other like-minded America First conservative candidates help those beneficiaries pull ahead in crowded primaries. And the worst-kept secret in American politics is that he wants to swap out his Sunshine State address for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as soon as possible. No, the politician is not Donald Trump but rather Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who lately seems bent on executing just about every page of the former president's political playbook—only with a sunnier demeanor, less offensive language and fewer of the personal antics that make Trump so polarizing. At 43, the once little-known backbench congressman has transformed himself into perhaps the hottest, most consequential political figure of his generation so far—possibly the only one capable of going head-to-head with Trump for the GOP nod in 2024 and with a shot at taking the presidency away from Joe Biden or whoever the Democrats nominate. The only real question is whether he'll run against Trump if the former president enters the race or risk his flame burning out by waiting until 2028 or beyond. "He is Trump without the boorish behavior and name calling, the insults and the bullying—the very reasons Trump lost suburban women in 2018 and lost a significant number of college-educated suburban men in 2020," says Jim Dornan, a veteran GOP strategist who worked on Trump's 2015 exploratory campaign committee and this year is advising Republican candidates in Oregon, Maryland and California. "On the Republican Party circuit, whether it's in D.C .or the suburbs, DeSantis is the first name that comes up when people start talking about 2024."..........
