We the taxpayers pay for his golf getaways and for him to drag his family along on overseas trips labeled diplomatic. Even though they are only along to craft business deals.

Voldemort just never stops arse-kissing… Biggest Medicare cheat (TWICE! Second time, he bought the governor’s seat again and that indictment disappeared) bolstering the biggest grifter/liar/cheat worse than himself. Of COURSE he’s going to be on the wrong side of everything.

Stirring the pot that Florida actually stands a chance of turning blue this time around because it’s damned depressing being surrounded by these monsters.

We’ve had some surprising successes and I don’t want to jinx it!

I made the mistake last time I checked my voter registration and looked at the breakdown of voters in my precinct. Got all excited to see that a huge percentage were Dems, especially black males… and then I looked at the rest of Sarasota and realized as a wealthy community, we were in the vast minority. Still. Fingers crossed! DeathSantis is not as popular with these arseholes as he used to be.

He can't honestly believe this, and Scott is silly enough to post this, displaying his ignorance to his constituents and anyone else who sees this post. Scott supports this over-the-hill alleged President

Scott supports in addition to other terrible traits, an alleged President who insists on attending a mid-week NBA playoff game and ruins it for the fans residing in his hometown, most of whom despise him anyway.

Scott supports an official who insists on coronating himself like a king or monarch, when he is really neither (and not deserving of the Presidency anyway) and who is far and away the biggest grifter for in that office in history, with no other President remotely close.

Scott supports someone who had a UFC match in a totally inappropriate place, who has ruined the White House's east wing, who tried to take over the Kennedy Arts Center and thankfully was sued so that his name.

Who thinks the Congress (including Scott) does not even exist.

... my dad worked out an office where the purchasing officer was also. He never took vacations though he sent his family on amazing trips several times a year and got a new Caddie every year. Never took sick time, never left the office except for meetings.

He died at his desk. When they went through his car's trunk two cigar boxes full of cash and his kickback scheme from vendors was exposed.

20. Trump's Billion-Dollar Golf Empire
Fri Jun 19, 2026, 10:58 AM
Jun 19

Donald Trump has a long history of embellishment around his success as a businessman, for years lobbying Forbes to pump up its estimates of his net worth—occasionally while using the name John Barron, a persona he invented—and even outright lying about the size of his penthouse and other properties. And when it comes to his portfolio of golf courses, Trump can stretch the truth like a par-5.

Legal documents reveal that Trump has improperly tallied sunk costs, overvalued land and undervalued his membership liabilities—deposits he would have to return to his courses’ golfers if they leave the club—while the financial disclosure reports he has released as president and other public filings offer little in terms of how he arrived at the numbers.

Trump has also inflated the size of his golf courses’ real estate. For instance, while he long claimed in marketing materials that Trump National Doral was 800 acres, property records show the resort is less than 700 ...

... Trump, a keen golfer who owns a number of courses around the world, was among those delighted at the news.

“Congratulations to PGA Tour commissioner Brian Rolapp,” he wrote on Truth Social.

“The PGA Tour, and the governing bodies, and also, the Great US. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Jay Clayton, for a BIG VICTORY where the USGA wanted to roll back the distance of a Golf Ball, for whatever reason.”

“Now they are precluded from doing so, at least for a long number of years.”

Trump has obliterated the lines between public policy and personal wealth.
Russ Choma

As the UFC fighters left their locker rooms Sunday night and headed out to the Octagon, they strutted through the Oval Office—a space once so revered that Ronald Reagan wouldn’t enter it unless he was wearing a suit jacket. A select group of spectators had been invited to the White House grounds, and the public was allowed to join a watch party on the National Mall. But anyone outside the DC region could only tune in to “the most historic sporting event of all time” via Paramount+, a paid streaming service owned by David Ellison, the son of one of Trump’s biggest donors.

Throughout his second term in office, Trump has conducted private business ventures, mixed his financial interests with government policy, and even invited business partners into the Oval Office. But Sunday night’s fight at the White House took things to a new level, the most open and blatant example—so far—of Trump and his allies mingling personal financial interests with the institution of the presidency.

The fight itself was a mega-event for the UFC, which was allowed to put a giant steel claw to illuminate the fighting cage on the White House lawn. UFC is owned by the publicly traded TKO Group, shares of which the president owns ...
