Sen. Rick Scott told reporters after viewing explicit videos of the attack on the Capitol that the Senate impeachment trial is a "complete waste of time."
Yesterday, another Republican, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana changed his mind on the constitutionality of the case. He told reporters, House managers were focused, they were organized, and made a compelling argument. President Trumps team were disorganized. They did everything they could but to talk about the question at hand and when they talked about it, they kind of glided over, almost as if they were embarrassed of their arguments.
Scott, though, did not feel the same way as his Republican colleagues. Look, he said. Ive been clear that that I wish the president had said something faster when they broke into it, but, you know, Ive watched what he said. Hes never said when somebody should break in [he] actually said that people should do this peacefully. This is a complete waste of time, he continued. Its not doing anything to help American families, its not helping people get jobs, its not helping get the vaccine out
its vindictive.
Lawyer Daniel Uhlfelder was quick to point out some of Scotts history in court rooms. He tweeted, Rick Scott invoked the 5th amendment against self-incrimination 75 times in his civil depositions.

(1,576 posts)Without getting nasty I told them that as my representatives I expressed my desire they vote guilty as charged. And added that if they didn't, their reelection bids will be in severe jeopardy.
As if they care

AS usual, Democrats will clean up the mess RepuQs have made.

(14,653 posts)For the Republican Party. He was saying that the "touchstone" defense of free speech in this trial is weak. He also mentioned that Scott and Rubio are an embarrassment to the state of Florida in this matter. The rest of the program was politicians pontificating on the stuff they pontificate on.. Interesting to see the divide in the republican party in Florida...

(778 posts)Besides the Medicare scam, there was also an issue with drug testing anyone who gets anything from the social system and for some reason, his wife's company got the bid to do the testing. I don't remember how many millions it cost, but a whole three people were found to be either on drugs or intoxicated. That really paid off.
When did he start worrying about jobs or people? When he had the scam company set up his worthless unemployment website? Both he and Rubio made some kind of comment when it was mentioned that Florida may end up being shut down in the future, along with other states. That will depend on the variance here and how bad the coronavirus gets, but the White House made it clear they will be working with the state officials and local officials and not just walking in and shutting it down. That has now become the Battle Cry for DeSatan and Scott and Rubio and they are extremely worried about the Constitution and authoritarian government. Now you're worried about authoritarianism government?
