Apparently, this election is driving everyone crazy.
Police in Fort Lauderdale, Florida have arrested Brad Parscale, the former campaign manager to Donald Trump. Parscale’s wife alerted law enforcement after he allegedly beat her and threatened suicide while brandishing a gun.
Parscale remains hospitalized for psychiatric evaluation under the Baker Act. Candice Parscale, the 44-year-old wife of Brad Parscale, called 911 on Sunday after she began to fear for her safety. She met police in the street outside the couple’s upscale Seven Isles home, wearing only a bikini.

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.
“Candace [sic] advised after a verbal altercation, Bradley manipulated his slide to the rear loading his firearm in front of her,” the police report reads, according to News 10. “Candace [sic] immediately fled [the] residence and stated she heard a loud bang shortly after. Candace [sic] stated that they realized that Bradley did not shoot himself when they heard Bradley ranting and pacing around the residence and the dog barking franticly. However, they were concerned that Bradley might still try to shoot himself, due to him being in possession of several firearms and refusing to vacate the residence.”
Parscale eventually emerged from the residence at the urging of police, shirtless, slurring his words, and with a beer can in hand. Officers then wrestled him to the ground, cuffed him and took him into custody. A search of the Parscale home uncovered 10 guns hidden around the house.
Brad Parscale emerged onto the national stage as campaign manager for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. As a longtime employee of the Trump organization, Parscale excelled at digital outreach during the election season. Trump fired Parscale in July following his disastrous Tulsa rally over sagging poll numbers. In addition, rumors had dogged Parscale since 2016 regarding the misappropriation of campaign funds and illegal payouts from Super PACs.

Racist Police in action. Burn Fort Lauderdale.

Except for the fact that Parscale is alive and safely made it to the hospital even though they were told he had a weapon and his wife showed signs of abuse.
Meanwhile George Floyd was murdered on camera in front of a crowd.
So….yeah.

So you’re defending a man who beat his wife? You really have gone over the bend for the Don the Con gang, Kieran!

I mean, this is both peak Florida and peak Trumpers all rolled into one.
Max
guns all around the house. what does he fear and need protection from? what kind of movie does he think he’s in?
Smith David
Awww…he was handled with such care. Kid gloves. See how nice and gentle he got handled. His ancestors paved the way for him to be handled with care. God bless America.
Cam
Must be a coincidence that the story about Trump possibly laundering $170 million dollars through Parscale’s company and suddenly he gets smashed and has a meltdown.
Parscale knows that Trump will pretend he doesn’t know him and happily throw him under the bus to go to avoid jail.
BaltoSteve
I guess the swat team was too busy that day. Must have been cleaning their guns.
WSnyder
Brad must have been tired of all that winning. Another fine example of Trump hiring only the ‘Best’ people.
See how far we’ve fallen? In any year prior to Trump, a politician for a National Office would be in overdrive to address the scandal of having their former Campaign Manager going off the deep end. But in Trump World? Barely a blip on the radar. I miss those crazy days when we could laugh at Fox pundits going crazy over the President wearing a tan suit.

Add Parscale to the Don the Con Drumpf gang arrest/indict/convict list!
Just think: in only four years, a slew of Don the Con Drump supporters, allies, appointees, donors, etc., including Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, Michael Cohen, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, George Nader, George Papadopoulos, Richard Pinedo, Alex van de Zwaan, `Chris Collins, Duncan Hunter, Igor Fruman, Lev Parnas, and now Brad Parscale have all been arrested, many have been put on trial, and a number of them have been convicted!
The level of corruption surrounding racist, homophobic, psycho sleazemaster Drumpf has no parallel in prior US history. Not even the previously corrupt presidents come close to this man, who, as the Mueller Report made clear, had numerous contacts and outreaches with a hostile foreign power on top of everything else.
jayceecook
I don’t know about corruption but I’m pretty sure the 12 or so presidents who owned hundreds of slaves are a little worse than Trump. Granted, Trump can’t own any slaves but I’m sure he’d love to so… Still I think those guys who came before him are a little worse.
Cam
@jayceecook
They said the level of corruption surrounding Trump was the worst. Please point out any prior presidents that had that level of financial corruption.
Kangol2
@jayceecook, the slaveowners were horrid, as were virulent racists like Woodrow Wilson, do nothing laggards like James Buchanan, and incompetent, lying warmongers like George W. Bush. But not a single one of them, as Cam noted, was as immersed in corruption (or treason) like Don the Con Drumpf. He is the absolutely most corrupt president we have ever had. Nixon didn’t even reach the level of corruption of this president. You can search the annals of US presidents, and the ones usually called out for corruption or being surrounded by corrupt machines, etc., don’t come close to the Clown Covfefe Trumpkin!
ScottOnEarth
The garbage cans were right next to them – they should have jus thrown him out with the rest of the trash. Anyone associated with the Anti-Christ fake president is sub-human.
LumpyPillows
Only the best people! Everything T has ever said was a lie.

I think I can safely say that the police in Ireland, where I live, would not have slammed a suspect, who was just standing there unarmed, into the ground like that.
MISTERJETT
maybe i’ll move to Ireland.
