A little matter like a conviction on 34 felony counts won’t stop the 45th President from voting in the Sunshine State.
That’s the word from Gov. Ron DeSantis regarding former President and former presidential primary opponent Donald Trump.
“Trump hasn’t lost his voting rights in Florida. Rights are not removed in Florida where they haven’t yet been stripped in the convicting jurisdiction. That said, given the absurd nature of the New York prosecution of Trump, this would be an easy case to qualify for restoration of rights per the Florida Clemency Board, which I chair. The bottom line is that Donald Trump’s vote this November will be one of millions that demonstrate Florida is now a solid Republican state,” DeSantis posted to X Friday.
That statement was the second from the Governor regarding Trump’s legal woes Friday.
“Today’s verdict represents the culmination of a legal process that has been bent to the political will of the actors involved: a leftist prosecutor, a partisan judge and a jury reflective of one of the most liberal enclaves in America — all in an effort to ‘get’ Donald Trump. That this case—involving alleged misdemeanor business records violations from nearly a decade ago — was even brought is a testament to the political debasement of the justice system in places like New York City. This is especially true considering this same district attorney routinely excuses criminal conduct in a way that has endangered law-abiding citizens in his jurisdiction,” DeSantis said on social media.
“It is often said that no one is above the law, but it is also true that no one is below the law. If the defendant were not Donald Trump, this case would never have been brought, the judge would have never issued similar rulings, and the jury would have never returned a guilty verdict. In America, the rule of law should be applied in a dispassionate, even-handed manner, not become captive to the political agenda of some kangaroo court.”

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

Do as I say not as I do. Millions of ex-felons in FL need to remember to ask for the “Trump special” when they appear before the clemency board to restore voting rights.

Hundreds of thousands of former Florida felons who served their time will never have their right to vote restored, despite the will of the people. I’d say the governor should grant clemency to all felons, not just those who pay hush money to porn stars.

I’d feel sorry for Malaria if he gets house arrest. Imaging being stuck at home with him and an endless string of toadies lining up at the front door to kiss his ring.

Florida will pose no interference to his voting.

Florida’s clemency board, so called, is the model for kangaroo courts ever since Rick Scott first set foot in one. And the epic continues with Dee, the Jock.

Rhonda is saying, since he controls the Clemency board, it’s a done deal.
What a slap in the face to the hundreds of thousands of Floridians who have been denied. Corruption and injustice in broad daylight.

This is the kind of stuff that Banana Republic Dicatators do.
DeSantis is the most corrupt elected official in the country.
What a complete POS this guy is. I hope the gravy does it’s job and soon.

Susan “Susie” (neé Summerall) Wiles is the person behind former U.S. president Donald Trump’s campaign. She’s responsible for the some of the successful campaigns of Rick Scott, Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, et al. She is a prominent member of the political class and has, at the very least, a symbiotic relationship with this political establishment “publication” or propagator of political establishment propaganda and a confidential source for Florida Politics’ so-called journalists.
