Scarborough running for the senate? Doubtful as that would bring questions regarding the death, under questionable circumstances, of a young woman in his local office. In Pensacola if memory serves. He quit politics shortly afterwards.

I suspect he would want to leave sleeping dogs alone.

Verbatim

— Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, distancing himself from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ apparent flip-flop on the war in Ukraine, on the Hugh Hewitt radio show.

“The idea of Tucker Carlson being in that mob that day and not wetting his pants is hard to imagine.”

— House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) told Fox & Friends that it was too bad that Donald Trump didn’t launch a military attack on Mexico to try to stop drug traffickers.

“I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.”

— Donald Trump, in a speech at CPAC.

“Trump, allies say, seems set on ‘Ron DeSanctimonious,’ even though others around him don’t think it’s a bullseye. Some of the new ideas the former president’s entertained: ‘Ron DisHonest.’ ‘Ron DeEstablishment.’ Or even, ‘Tiny D.’”
