You can't make this stuff up.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Republican Party of Florida suspended Chairman Christian Ziegler and demanded his resignation during an emergency meeting Sunday, adding to calls by Gov. Ron DeSantis and other top officials for him to step down as police investigate a rape accusation against him.

Ziegler is accused of raping a woman with whom he and his wife, Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler, had a prior consensual sexual relationship, according to police records.

I agree. The government shouldn't be helping individuals screwed by shady US schools.

That just takes money away from the truly needy--the banks, investment houses and auto makers.

More whataboutism. Doesn't help anyone.

Hunter Biden, "hold my beer".

100% agree here. I, too, have this for years on wishing we could write off our mortgage interest here in Canada. That would be a bonus. I believe they do in the U.S.A?

Mortgage interest in the US is a write-off for their income tax, but they also have to pay tax on any appreciation in the value of their home when they sell.

Hunter Biden, "hold my beer".

Hunter Biden isn't a public figure on an anti-LBGT crusade with Moms for Liberty while fucking another woman her "family values" husband is raping.

This isn't rocket science.

This isn't rocket science.

Unsubstantiated allegations and no charges have been filed.

Your boy Hunter has been indicted on 9 charges of tax evasion.

There is also his little problem with his gun application. He faces a federal indictment on that little indiscretion.

This isn't rocket science.

The first $500k (for married couples) of 'net appreciation' is not exposed to any Capital gains tax (and if you purchase another home of equal/greater value, there's no tax)...this rule is for owner-occupied homes.

I didn't realize Hunter was an elected official

... and people should stop connecting Hunter personal affair to his father. That's a cheap shot and an insult to people's intelligence, And that isn't rocket science as well.

If there was a connection between the two of them financially the whistler blowers and investigators would have found out in the last 3 years . Even the purple state Republicans in congress asked their zealots to drop it and McCarthy was against the wild goose chase their twits were embarking on

The Multifront Attack on Elon Musk

Elon Musk is the world’s richest man but also the number one target of the world’s richest governments and their associated industrialists. The reason traces entirely to his independence of mind and the actions that follow from that.

"It's mind blowing how many people flushed their lives down the toilet in support of a pathologically lying, ethically challenged, multi-bankrupted scam artist, a fraud, rapist, loser and got nothing in return but prison time." Very well said by someone reacting to the prison sentences handed to the J6 insurrectionists.

Unfortunately, they all (Reps) voted in favour of the impeachment inquiry. 🤦‍♂️

Colorado Supreme Court: Trump disqualified from GOP primary ballot.

Colorado Supreme Court: Trump disqualified from GOP primary ballot.

Heard this, but what are the realistic implications? No Trump votes from Colorado? Is it typically a Red or Blue state? If it’s the start of a movement—cool.

Hunter trial. Biden impeachment. Trump going to jail. For crying out loud nothing but a clown show and jack shit happens to anyone. Take it as endless entertainment

Looks like Trump's poll numbers are up again.

He's under multiple indictments and now this attempted disqualification.

Strange that he continues to be favored in the upcoming election.

Vast right wing conspiracy?

Too many "deplorables"?

Maybe people are just done with sleepy Joe and word salad Kamala?

Orange man bad!!!!

Lol

Implications are one domino in barring Trump from office and precedent has been set by the case if the issue is raised in other States.
