Where outside of Trump talking points has it been confirmed that 2020 Trump advisor Karl Rove is now working for RDS?

We can only elect billionaires going forward bc they can’t be bought. They won’t do deals with the Saudis to host golf tournaments at their courses and their family won’t get $2B funding deals from the Saudis for their PE firms.

Most million/billionaires are in debt. You leverage debt.

Trump self-funded about 10% of his 2016 campaign and I think 2020 was less. Y’all need to drop this myth, because nobody is running a presidential campaign without fundraising. Nobody.

A donor conference in Austin, Texas organized by former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove and featuring a handful of other prospective Republican presidential candidates — will pull back the curtain on an intensifying battle for big donors in 2024. Republicans are moving aggressively to expand their networks of major contributors and block out rivals who are competing for the same dollars. DeSantis is expected to draw around 150 top donors and other supporters to the event

Just a coincidence right? That Rove organized an event to allow ole Ron to pass on CPAC?

No Rove involvement at all, amirite?

Not surprising that you dont understand the concept of being bought

Look at what politicians do after they lose a race. Paul Ryan at FoxNews. lulz

Mitt Romney and the Olympics

Barney Frank on Signature bank board

Mary Landrieu policy advisor for a DC law firm

Ron needs a soft landing place when he leaves the governorship. Thats the only reason he has agreed to get his arse kicked by Trump. Politics will be over for him

Anyone whose entire career is in politics IS controlled by money. They have to win elections to climb the ladder. They only win elections if they have lots of money. They only get lots of money if they make promises. They are ALL bought, the only question is who is buying. At the level of POTUS, if they aren't financing themselves, they're there to push an agenda, make select individuals rich and - more often - both.

I'd say skipping out on the Matt Schlapp show was a good move

This was from a few days ago. Trump's begging to be controlled I guess.

DeSantis is a swamp politician. He’s backed by the Bushes and is firmly imbedded in the swamp political game.

Yes, he’s better than others and he will fight certain battles. But don’t be fooled, he’s a career politician trying to move up the ladder.

what will he use to pay lawyers needed to defend him from bogus and inflated misdemeanors?


First of all, Desantis is a lawyer. He graduated from Harvard Law School Cum laude.

More importantly he isn’t stupid enough to hire a hack lawyer like Michael Cohen to put him in the position of having to hire another lawyer. He’a also not stupid enough to put himself in compromising positions with porn actresses.
