And you'll believe them again with this one too.

what great economy? you know we're bankrupting this country right at a faster pace than predicted? the only good aspect of the situation right now is the stock market which doesn't represent the economy anyway. We have not kept up with the inflation. (see your old w2 from past 5 years then compare it to this year then check what you're losing and compare the inflation rate). We're getting fucked royally, time to make changes.

How can group all people who vote Democrats in one pot and say we want it to be about race? Instead of saying we want it to be about how you ask yourself why are viewing it the way you are instead of focusing on what the idiot said. Don’t criticize other people for focusing on something that someone said. Criticize the source which is the man who said it on live tv for everyone to hear. He made it about race. Don’t deflect and put it on other people please. Your post is beyond disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Instead of blaming the suspect you blame the victim or their supporters.

Wow... I've never heard any political representative use Monkey in phrase like that before? Have any of you heard the word Monkey used in a phrase like that before?

Trump's America I suppose?

[@leonmccubbin6809]

@Alex Johnson I've heard the phrase used in relation to peoples own toddlers and children or as a self description never in this context. There was no natural reason to use the word monkey in this context. It was deliberate. I can see how you wouldn't catch this the first time of listening but on the second it's obvious the message he's sending. "Monkey it up" ?? Never heard that before.

[@bovineone2420]

Leon McCubbin - You've never heard someone say "don't monkey with it" or "stop monkeying around" or "monkey see monkey do"? I don't believe you. C'mon man.

[@adamhart5330]

Leon McCubbin The point they are trying to make to you is why are people offended by it? He did not call him a monkey or refer to him as a monkey in any way. Why are YOU tying the word monkey to black person? The left is literally saying you cant use the word monkey in any context around black people, because even referring to the word monkey in any way is automatically offensive to black people. WHY? Do YOU think black people look like monkeys? Apparently they all do, becaue that is the only reason to be offended by the word. We literally all evolved from monkeys, every race looks like monkeys, we certainly dont look like dragonflies or fish do we? Stop calling other people racist because of you think they are saying something they are not. Throwing a monkey wrench into something is screwing with something that is running smoothly IS LITERALLY WHAT HE SAID, he talked about the success we have had in Florida and we dont want to monkey it up. Context is perfectly clear, and it is the left saying its about how black people look like monkeys. Please dude, recognize the democrats are still running a plantation and get away from that shit.

[@bovineone2420]

Adam Hart - That's an excellent point.

[@adamhart5330]

+Dalea Nolan Okay so racist people call them monkeys, nobody got called a monkey lol Desantis did not call anyone a monkey so your point doesnt matter if other people call them monkeys. He did not intend for it to be any bit racial and if you guys wanna interpret it as that, its YOUR fault, not his. He didnt even come close to referring to him as a monkey. So you dont want any person to use the word monkey, in any context ever, because some other racist people used/use it a certain way? Why do you assume he meant anything racial by it is the point.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum went on a luxury Costa Rica vacation in May 2016 with a group of lobbyists, friends and investors, the Tallahassee Democrat reported Friday. But that's not all: during the trip, Gillum received a calendar invite via email from Adam Corey, an investor in Tallahassee's Edison restaurant, to set up a meeting at The Edison with supposed "developer" Mike Miller, according to the Democrat's reporting. Miller was actually an undercover FBI agent. The story also reports that Corey, who has been friends with Gillum since college, was on the trip along with another Edison investor Sean Pittman and other lobbyists and business associates. The trip and the subsequent meeting came at the height of a still-ongoing FBI probe into corruption in the Tallahassee city government that produced a new subpoena on Thursday.

Miss Franklin that’s because you haven’t bothered to read mr gillums own web site and like to give away you hard earned money and get absolutely nothing in return So let’s see gillum want to raise property taxes in Florida He wants to raise the sales tax to 13% so get ready to pay more for your groceries He wants a gas tax at $1.00 per gallon so get ready to pay more to fill up your car He wants to raise the standard business tax to 41% higher yes I typed that correctly Larger employers in the state have already said that if the were the case many would relocate their headquarters across state lines taking thousands of jobs and tax dollars with them Smaller business’s to afford the tax will do the first thing they always do fire people to make up the difference in money they are loosing So please, please tell me how any of this helps anyone.
