Scott is and has been an embarrassment and a big time Trump sycophant and I'm sorry to have him as one of my senators. As an aside, every reply I receive from sycophant Scott always has a line that begins "When I was Governor..." Scott was a bad governor who, you will recall, was called red tide Rick because he cut funding for red tide research. Now we hear that he has profited millions from his inside trading on the market. Scott is a sleazebag.

Agreed. I've always found it hard to understand how enough FL voters were duped into electing Rick Scott as Governor not once, but twice, especially after his well publicized record of healthcare fraud. As if that wasn't bad enough, he then got elected to the Senate! I swear, we must have the most gullible, ignorant voters here in FL, although TX gives us some seriously stiff competition.

That ! As a Floridian, I truly thought with so many universities. We really truly had some smart intellectual people. Boy did I lie to myself all these years. To intentionally with knowledge elect an individual into office with a criminal record of financial fraud theft, and it doesn’t even have to be that look how many of our and when I say our I’m talking in Florida senators, congressman, etc., have been brought up on sex charges whether it be a child or an adult. Just because the Republican you support them. The disgrace is in them. What if it was your child your sister, your brother, your daughter, your son that was sexually assaulted by these individuals. Are you gonna crawl up on that mountain skin in your knees to support them or you gonna fight to put them where they belong in prison. And that’s another thing prison how many of these senators congressman, etc. ever see inside of a prison when Mr. John Doe gets arrested for these type charges, he gets prison time, but when part of the political party gets arrested in charge and tried whether found guilty or not, they get another sunny day on the beach. What are their victims get a smack in the face we don’t care about you. We have to save our politician. That is reality in Florida and it is disgusting and it’s not the politicians fault. They are the criminals. It’s the fault of the people for giving them power by electing them or even allowing them to run the shame of it all lies on the citizens of Florida.

Listen, is it so much for the people of this country to ask that if a politician is accused of stealing money they be kept out of our government. I don’t know about Ron DeSantis. He is a sneaky snake but look at this $10 million and today a grand jury in Florida which I’m sorry I live here I see and smell the corruption. I have no faith in the grand jury. After all, this is a red state and Ron Decente used to be Donald Trump‘s miniature protégé. And now with him leaving office he’s trying to get his wife to become become governor there. It is she’s been accused of stealing money and they want her to take control over Florida as her governor can we just look like we have some type of intelligence in this country, a convicted felon as president who had been sued by his victim for rape and defamation because afterwards the president was compelled to make fun of her. And don’t get me started with the Jeffrey Epstein files. He has our country shut down in JD Vance. Let it slip the second day when he did a press conference saying that the country will be shut down for months. Well how does he know that unless that’s what Donald Trump‘s intentions are to prevent the 218th signature in America, as well as the world see a clientele list of the perverts the predators that don’t know how to keep their sexual urges and check and must assault our young children.

I completely agree with Alex Andrade. We live in a state of corruption by its leaders. Will this ever end? At some point, these folks will pay for their violations. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.
