    The evidence of Joe Biden's corruption exists primarily in the minds of Republicans and the right-wing media not that different than the narrative that Trump really won the 2020 election which a majority of Republicans continue to believe. The evidence of Rick Scott's corruption is a matter of record.

    Rick Scott's record is a matter of disgruntled Florida libbies' imagination.

    China Joe's corruption is nation wide.

    ....as is his embarrassing incompetence, incontinence, dementia, bumbling buffoonery-- you know--the vestigial remains of the POS he was before he went senile.

    Is that so, keeping in mind that Scott was the CEO of HCA when this happened.
    WASHINGTON, D.C. - HCA Inc. (formerly known as Columbia/HCA and HCA - The Healthcare Company) has agreed to pay the United States $631 million in civil penalties and damages arising from false claims the government alleged it submitted to Medicare and other federal health programs, the Justice Department announced today. This settlement marks the conclusion of the most comprehensive health care fraud investigation ever undertaken by the Justice Department, working with the Departments of Health and Human Services and Defense, the Office of Personnel Management and the states. The settlement announced today resolves HCA's civil liability for false claims resulting from a variety of allegedly unlawful practices, including cost report fraud and the payment of kickbacks to physicians. Previously, on December 14, 2000, HCA subsidiaries pled guilty to substantial criminal conduct and paid more than $840 million in criminal fines, civil restitution and penalties. Combined with today's separate administrative settlement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), under which HCA will pay an additional $250 million to resolve overpayment claims arising from certain of its cost reporting practices, the government will have recovered $1.7 billion from HCA, by far the largest recovery ever reached by the government in a health care fraud investigation.
    And let's not forget this not even mentioned in my first post.
    Gov. Rick Scott's policies could benefit his family's $62Million Investment

    Once again provide substantive evidence of Joe Biden's corruption. While Hunter has a history of sketchy stunts so far the only evidence is an email from Hunter mentioning the "big guy" keeping in mind that at the time Hunter was communicating with the Chinese businessman Trump was in the White House and the Republicans controlled both the House and the Senate.

    I’ve mentioned it before, I had a bit of one on one time with Scott once.
    He just came across as odd, like he as this empty vessel with zero personality and would just become whatever he needed to be based on what you said. Not even in a manipulative or conniving way, he just wasn’t anything on his own. Didn’t impress me at all.

    As I recall, one reason he got elected was that he was running against... a crook.

    Scott ran against Alex Sink, who was far more qualified but had no charisma, then charlie crist. Love em or hate em, neither is a crook.

    See gtr2x above.

    ....and the fact that he won twice against non-crooks, makes his chances against retired, demented, incompetent, senile crook China Joe, all the more compelling

    ....and Biden's corruption is 50 years running, and fresh into his presidency.

    Rick Scott has 2 successful terms as Florida governor, and a stint as senator since any alleged corruption.

    Scott's corruption allegations will scarcely make it out if Florida.

    I guess my memory is faulty. I remember him running against a woman whose past was as shady as his. Maybe it was for the nomination, not the general election.

    Or maybe I dreamed it. Never mind.

    I looked up Alex Sink. She's a woman (like a boy named Sue), and as the state's Chief Financial Officer, she investigated something called the Taj Mahal scandal, which involved excessive spending on a new courthouse in Tallahassee. She didn't investigate until after the St. Pete Times investigated. And she never took any official action, the scandal just died after the election for governor. That may be how I got the impression (through some media coverage, I guess) that Sink was less than honest. I didn't do an investigation myself. Anyway, Sink got sunk in the election by the pirate Rick Scott.

    She was honest. She had other flaws, but graft was not one of them

    I can't thunk of a more thoroughly disgusting public figure......other than Trump and Kruz. He's a man completely devoid of principle and an ethical code.

    The last time "senile China Joe" ran against a corrupt politician he won by almost 8 million votes". The facts speak for themselves. And although I have mentioned it in other posts in reference Ron DeSantis, another Florida governor twice elected, let's not forget "President" Scott Walker who served two terms as governor of Wisconsin.

    Riiiggghhtttt....even garnered like 20 million more votes than his uber popular former bossman, Barry....and had the MSM and DOJ running cover for him, while simultaneously engaging in aggresssive guerilla tactics against that allegedly corrupt guy...

    But that crap aside, far more compelling, is the fact that Trump's alleged corrupton was ongoing. As is China Joe's.

    ....while Scott's in ancient history, in a strange land far far away (to most of the electorate), and that crap just won't catch, when you got China Joe's record as POTUS vs Scott's as FL governor.

    Rick Scott > Clueless Joe

    By a county mile.

    Unfortunately for him he’s late and is missing out on speaking at the Theocratic Fascism Conference where the other Borg Drone presidential candidates are speaking.

    I don’t know who you’re responding to but it’s apparent I have the right person blocked.
