Listend ti his interview with Tucker. Seems like a great choice, and the more I learn about Byron Donalds tells me hes a total fraud.

I haven’t done the research on Byron Donalds. What about Byron makes him a fraud?

Every time I see him in the news, he seems very sharp and on point.

TIA for the feedback!

Can you list a few examples on how and why he is a fraud?

Is he stealing $19 Billion from Florida? Like that kind of fraud or is it the type of fraud where he said something you didn't like so that has made him massive huge fraudster now?

Crickets.

Fishback is relegated to arguing with Sophie Rain on X

Donalds is a wind up doll for the establishment.

Not very excited about that race. Donalds was pathetic in the DeSantis/CRT saga. Fishback as a "meme" candidate seems correct.

He strikes me as a professional chameleon who has spent 18 months digesting the new fringe right (which I'm probably part of) and adopting Vance and Stephen Miller lines of thought and is just feeding them back to us.

We're screwed. Donalds will be nothing more than a rubber stamp for special interests. Pretty much Rick Scott on steroids

Donalds just seems like a clown who's always on Fox News trying to prove something.

Pretty much. I think he changed his name to Trump Endorsed Byron Donalds because that's all his campaign is based on

Doesn't his former fiancée say he was after her before she turned 18, while she was an employee of his?

Yeah well he probably didn’t do himself any favors by referring to Donalds as Byrone instead of Byron lol.

Florida gubernatorial candidate James Fishback proposes a 50% “Sin Tax” on OnlyFans earnings.

Top OnlyFans creators Sophie Rain and Anya Lacey slammed the tax, calling it “ludicrous.”

Fishback estimates the plan would generate $200M for school lunches.

Just look up his net worth when he started and now, no, it isn't 19 Billion but it is many millions. Florida elects him and the state will be run with DEI hires and flooded with grifters wanting their fair share.

I don’t get the “meme candidate” line of attack. That sounds like you don’t want to discuss the merits of what his platform is.

Among other things, he proposes:
-End property tax* (For FL residents; others still have to pay).
-Mandate Florida universities are only for Americans
-Florida public schools only for Americans
-Divest Florida funds from Israel


Sounds pretty good to me.

I haven't finished this episode yet, but my one big takeaway so far as a Florida resident is that I'm not sure if I can listen to this dude talk for 4 years

Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins has announced he is running for Gov. He is a true patriot. He has great ideas, is Desantis on steroids,

quote:

As a Green Beret medic, Collins deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and twice to South America. During his 2007 Afghanistan deployment, he was shot in the arm and helped perform surgery on himself in the field of battle. A few months later, he sustained injuries that would eventually lead to the amputation of his leg years later. Following his amputation, Collins re-qualified as a fully deployable Green Beret and served over five more years on active duty. He retired from the U.S. Army at the rank of first sergeant.[5]


Baw does not play. He quit school because they have recess. He doesn't play.
