Nothing suspicious to see here, folks!
Donald Trump just really, really, really likes Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, for reasons that are totally legitimate and have nothing to do with shady rich people making each other richer. Maybe he just appreciates all the things they have in common, such as their rampant homophobia? Or maybe he likes her hypocritical pandering after the Orlando shooting? Who knows?

Whatever the reason, it was just discovered that in 2013 Trump gave $25,000 to support Bondi’s re-election just a few days after she announced that she’d be investigating his Trump “University” for fraud. After the donation, she suddenly wasn’t investigating him anymore. What an unbelievable coincidence! Especially after Trump has said in the past that he used to donate money to politicians all the time because “I was a businessman, and it was my obligation to get along with everybody.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
For what it’s worth, Bondi was one of the state’s top officials persecuting gay couples, attacking LGBTQ families on marriage and adoption. (Bondi herself is a serial seductress, marrying and divorcing a variety of men over the course of her life. But, naturally, she believes that she’s the one who ought to be defending marriage from us.)

After the donation, Trump had to pay an additional $2,500 in fines because the donation to Bondi’s supporters was against the law. (Charities can’t make political donations like that.)
“I never spoke to her,” Trump insisted. Meanwhile, Bondi claims that she personally called Trump to ask him for the donation directly.
Yes, you certainly can trust these people.
And we still have 61 days until the election, folks.

I believe this is a case of “I scratch your back, you scratch mine”. He gave her a little something something and she forgets to look into his “university” bilking Floridians out of their money.

Lets hope they (the voters) take their frustration out on Marco this November by voting him out of office. The way he has been kissing Trumps rear these past few weeks makes him an ample target for their anger.

Any minute now the one Log Cabiner and his 4 other screename will by in here feigning outrage, trying to change the topic by screaming about Clinton’s haircut or evil foreigners, etc…
ANYTHING to avoid talking about a very real bribery scandal, and Trump paying off officials to drop investigations into his fraudulent Trump University that stole savings from thousands of people.

Not just Bondi but Greg Abbot of Texas did the same.

I watched Hillary and Trump last night on NBC and Hillary was spot on with the issues where Trump was a dufus saying we are winning and He will not reveal his ISIS plan, but slipped when he admitted after talking to the military leaders, maybe he will accept part or all of their plan, and then he will make a plan.

@Bob LaBlah: From Your Lips to God’s Ears!
Locally, the democratic contender is simply not well enough publicized. Rubio, for this election – has had months of coverage with Fox (during the debates). His fights with Trump, have made him actually seem more appealing to moderate Republicans (in ways that he had not before, he was always seen ‘conservative’ before).
The only caveats here are that with Medical Marijuana legislation on the ballot (and the last initiative only failed by 2% points to pass) that we will see a large Democratic turn out, and then there is Mrs. Clinton. I hope that we get all three.
