Desantis takes a shot at Trump, saying that he should’ve brought in the FBI Director and fired him because BLM protesters weren’t charged with federal crimes.

Maybe because they didn't commit any?

You'd think a former prosecutor would understand that prosecutors, not cops or the FBI, file charges.

He certainly understands that his voters don't understand that.

It's not the copyright that is the issue, it's the trademark.

BREAKING: DeSantis poised to sign law that would allow him to run for president without resigning as governor
The bill passed in the House 76-34.

On Friday, the Florida House passed a bill that now heads to Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk allowing the leader to run for president without having to resign from his current post.

The bill passed in the House 76-34, according to Florida’s Voice. The passing comes just days after the bill passed 28 to 12 in the state Senate.

The bill includes a change to existing laws which would now exempt officeholders seeking to run for president or vice president from the state’s "resign-to-run" provision.

More rights of Floridians taken away by Desantis. New legislation for Ron Desantis’s presidential campaign would allow him hide his travel schedule, use of state planes, visitor logs to the Governor’s mansion and other things from the public.
