oh yea, Scott almost got his ass charged with massive Medicare fraud:

Scott was pressured to resign as chief executive of Columbia/HCA in 1997. During his tenure as chief executive, the company defrauded Medicare, Medicaid and other federal programs. The Department of Justice ultimately fined the company $1.7 billion in what was at the time the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history.[8] Scott was not charged with a crime.[9]

Rick Scott 'oversaw the largest Medicare fraud' in U.S. history, Florida Democratic Party says
First, Gov. Rick Scott scared the bejesus out of seniors with an online ad claiming that Medicare rate cuts would lead them to lose access to their doctors, hospitals and preventive care.

Then, the Florida Democratic Party fired back at Scott, issuing a press release that called Scott "the ultimate Medicare thief."

The Democrats were referring to Scott’s prior tenure as CEO of Columbia/HCA about a decade ago, when the hospital company was fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud.

"Rick Scott is saying Democrats are committing Medicare robbery, when in fact he's the ultimate Medicare thief. He lost the right to accuse Democrats of raiding Medicare when he oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in the nation's history. Rick Scott's company stole money that should have gone to health care for seniors," said Florida Democratic Party spokesman Joshua Karp in the Feb. 25 press release.

Politifact rating: Mostly true

7. Just because his head is shaped like a light bulb doesn't mean he has good ideas.

3. SNAP.. Do Not Mess with Schmidt! Rt!

4. As a Floridian for over 40 years, seething contempt pretty much sums it up. nt

6. Schmidt has always had gift of oration, but his surgical precision is only intensified when fueled

by righteous anger. These Trumpist sycophants had little to use to "fight back" with under any circumstance, but are simply shown to be the "lobotomized" shells they are when they try attacking Schmidt.

8. If these people hate America so much, why don't they just get the hell out?

It would make it so much easier on normal people to live happy lives here.

Look at all the different types of people the GOP hates. They even go out of their way to f*** with natural resources--created by God. A God they supposedly worship.

They act so much like a cult, why don't they do what that other one did and jump on the next comet? I'll go get some popcorn for that day.
