The Donald Trump Score Card

DeSantis has become agitated with the media.

It was more comfortable for him when he had the liberty to focus on shipping migrants to the homes of Biden and Harris.

Trump startup investors: Give us a better deal or we'll walk

excerpt:

"Big investors are starting to eye the exits on the $1.3 billion bid to take former President Donald Trump’s new social media startup public.

The hedge funds, trading firms and other major backers are questioning whether the financial riches that first attracted them to the transaction are still strong enough to hold their interest in a deal fraught with troubles, according to four investors who asked not to be named. Negotiations have been ongoing as some investors seek bigger potential profits in exchange for following through on commitments to put hundreds of millions of dollars into the venture, which planned a public stock exchange listing through a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC."

 

That's one of the best blues songs ever. It should not be connected with a jerk like Trump.

 

They rejected a Pennsylvania Republican challenge too, concerning redistricting. Maybe they will be consistent with lower court decisions, instead of just pro-MAGA?

 

The Story Behind DeSantis' Migrant Flights to Martha's Vineyard

excerpt:

"SAN ANTONIO — In June, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a budget that set aside $12 million to create a program for transporting migrants without legal permission out of Florida. He touted it as the highlight of the state’s new spending when it came to immigration.

But just three months later, the money was being used in a place far from Florida, in a very different way: rounding up Venezuelan asylum-seekers on the streets of San Antonio and shipping them on private planes to Massachusetts.

The flights last month, carrying 48 migrants, attracted international attention and drew condemnation from Democrats as well as several legal challenges. DeSantis immediately claimed credit for what appeared to be a political maneuver — dumping dozens of asylum-seekers on the doorstep of Northeastern Democrats who have resisted calls to clamp down on immigration."

excerpt:

"In the case of the flights to Martha’s Vineyard, Florida state records show that an airline charter company, Vertol Systems, was paid $615,000 on Sept. 8 and $950,000 less than two weeks later. The first payment was for “project 1” and the second payment for “projects two and three.” So far, Florida officials have acknowledged only the initial flights and have not spoken of plans for others.

The money to fly migrants came from a special $12 million appropriation in the state’s last budget, a brief item that gave funds to the state’s Department of Transportation to create a program “to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens from this state.”

The program was conceived as a means for Florida to push back on the number of migrants without legal permission being flown into the state by the federal government. As of August, DeSantis said the funds had yet to be used, because the additional large groups of migrants that had been expected had failed to materialize."

excerpt:

"Vertol Systems, which was founded in the mid-1990s, offers aviation maintenance and training services, and does work for the U.S. government. Over the years, the company has increasingly networked with Republican power brokers in Florida.

In litigation, court records show, Vertol was once represented by Matt Gaetz, now a Republican member of Congress and a close ally of DeSantis. Another lawyer whom the company used for a series of lawsuits, according to information first reported by NBC News, was Larry Keefe. Keefe is now serving as DeSantis’ public safety czar, leading efforts to confront immigration issues.

Vertol and its leader, James Montgomerie, have also donated to Republican legislators, including Gaetz and Rep. Jay Trumbull, who led the Florida House Appropriations Committee this year as lawmakers earmarked the money for a program initially intended to relocate migrants from Florida."

 

Vertol Systems, was paid $615,000 on Sept. 8 and $950,000 less than two weeks later.

All in the family.

DeSantis didn't have migrants to eject, so he imported them from Texas so that he could eject them from Florida to Biden's home.

 

NYC migrants pile into vans they say are headed to Florida for Hurricane Ian cleanup

excerpt:

"Scores of Venezuelan migrants in New York City are hopping on vans to head down to Florida for Hurricane Ian clean-up, they told The Post.

The migrants had scant information about whom they would be working for, but they still piled into vans in Queens that they said were headed to the Sunshine State over the weekend.

“They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” said Javier Moreno, 37, noting that a woman named Camila “from an organization” approached him with a flier.

“I’m going for the work. It’s been hard for us migrants to find work here in New York, that’s why a lot of us are going. How’s the work in Florida?”

A driver of one of the vans at the designated pick-up site, a corner in Corona, told The Post on Saturday that he was headed to Florida.

He said he was under contract with a water and debris company. The firm did not answer its phone despite repeated attempts to call by The Post."

excerpt:

"Former President Trump has sued CNN in federal court in Florida for defamation.

In the lawsuit filed Monday, Trump’s attorneys claim CNN “has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source — to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN claiming credit for ‘[getting] Trump out’ in the 2020 presidential election.”

The former president is seeking $475 million in punitive damages, according to the lawsuit.

Trump announced his intent to sue the network earlier this summer, saying in a statement he would “also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election.""

 

Fucking moron...

 

Trump is suing media outlets for defrauding the public by not being honest about the fraud that Trump says occurred in the 2020 election.
