Trumpsterfire Trio
Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, our "chief legal officer" who rewrote her job description in order to "protect" Floridians against things like health care access, gay marriage, and a woman's right to make her own health choices among other things, has been given a speaking slot at the Donald Trump-RNC bigotry and hate-fest next week.
Bondi's most recent headlines being that she solicited a $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump and then presumably purchased a pair of blinders so as not to get caught up in complaints by Florida consumers who were soaked at the hands of Trump University.
Apparently that contribution wasn't her only reward from Trump, and amid numerous calls for an investigation into our chief legal officer's conduct, Bondi is doing what she does best, shamelessly going to bat for a Republican who makes it a point to screw over the little guy.
And speaking of screwing over the little guy, Rick Scott also will get a prominent speaking gig at the convention, because of course he will. He's another multimillionaire businessman turned politician who governs for fun and profit.
Scott being the man best known for steering a company that set a record for Medicare fraud before he was forced to leave without facing any charges himself, and then went on to become Florida's governor, where he's been making good on his threat promises to "run government like a business" and has done so at the expense of Floridians.
Scott joined Bondi in trying to kill health care access among a long list of related actions and decisions that make things worse for the average Florida resident while claiming the state is just a paradise waiting to be had for the highest bidder, all while increasing his wealth which is conveniently hidden from the public eye in a blind trust.
So while the state is currently being swallowed by green algae goo thanks to the sugar industry that lines his pockets, it makes sense that Scott would go support Trump at the convention immediately following his trip abroad to snow Londoners into thinking that Florida is a great investment for tourism and economic development at the moment. Because avoiding actual problems in Florida is what Scott does. Whenever there's a crisis, Scott is AWOL, as is Bondi.
In a sense, Rick Scott is a perfect fit for Trump. They're two businessmen turned politicians who see governing as a for-profit venture. Throw in Pam Bondi as a special counsel against Americans and you've got quite a trio.
Anyone even considering voting for Donald Trump should take a little vacation in Florida first and talk to some of the residents here to get a firsthand account of what it's like to be sold out to the highest bidder before taking that idea nationwide.
