Looks like DeSantis is just another crooked politician
Remember how Governor DeSantis broke Florida law by spending state funds to fly undocumented immigrants from Texas to Massachusetts? It turns out there's more to the story. Most of the money the DeSantis Administration spent ($1.4 million of $1.5 million) is unaccounted for.
We do know, though, that DeSantis paid for flights that never happened. We also know that the contractor he hired, and who presumably made a very healthy profit, particularly on the flights that were paid for but never happened, was well connected politically. So this was just another scheme to funnel the money of Florida taxpayers into the pockets of some crony of Ron DeSantis. --Bob

Don't even pretend you care about stuff like this. Were he pro-baby killing and pro-preschool-drag show you'd be' perfectly O.K.with it.

Re: Looks like DeSantis is just another crooked politician
There isn't a politician anywhere in the country in favor of killing babies, nor are there any who support pre-school drag shows (in the sense most people think of it). There are plenty of politicians who believe women should control their own bodies, and based on the election results we just saw, there will be lots more of those politicians holding office in the future. Quite possibly including some who have previously professed to believe the opposite.BackInTex wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 4:56 pmDon't even pretend you care about stuff like this.

There are, however, lots of voters who care about politicians illegally funneling taxpayer money to their cronies. I'd be willing to bet that there are a lot more of those voters than there are voters who care about investigating a private citizen because his father happens to be the President of the United States. But you do you. --Bob

Re: Looks like DeSantis is just another crooked politician

So, extorting, pandering, etc. are fine, as long as you're a Biden, or any dem, right? You can't possibly be stupid enough to believe Hunter is going to be investigated "because his father happens to be the Pres..." No matter how many times you repeat it, the laptop is not, and never was "Russian disinformation." I will grant you there is a tremendous number of gullible fools. Many of them in Cali, clearly.Bob78164 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 6:04 pmThere isn't a politician anywhere in the country in favor of killing babies, nor are there any who support pre-school drag shows (in the sense most people think of it).

Um. yes there are. Once abortion after the point that a baby is viable outside the womb-"Baby Killing" definitely enters into the equation.
You might dress it up-but you also are in favor of baby killing if you support abortion after the point of viability.
Maybe, you have weighed all the factors after the point of viability and still decided to come down as a baby-killing homicidal maniac-but please be honest with yourself and us and recognize that is what you are.
Oh. and even if 99% of politicians and voters were in favor of killing babies after the point of viability, I would still not be in favor of killing babies after the point of viability.
You bunch of baby killing homicidal maniacs you.

Neither is anyone else, except to save the mother's life. Beats hell out of having to shoot the mother. --BobSpock wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 9:14 amBob#s>>>"There isn't a politician anywhere in the country in favor of killing babies,"<<<

Re: Looks like DeSantis is just another crooked politician
Neither is anyone else....what? Not sure what this is refering to, but if you are trying to say that abortion proponents are in favor of abortion after viability only when the mother's life is as stake you are flat wrong, and you know it. Abortion on demand for convenience is what is wanted, what is demanded. Life of the mother, rape, and incest are only emotional arguements to convince caring people (i.e. conservatives).Bob78164 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 19, 2022 1:45 pmNeither is anyone else, except to save the mother's life.
