The coward of Broward got his job back –
Miller had challenged his termination with the support of the BSO union, which said an arbitration ruling found that “BSO violated Sgt. Brian Miller’s constitutional due process rights and improperly terminated him.” Miller’s salary for the year 2017 was $138,410.25.
An investigation by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission in the wake of the shooting found that Miller was the first officer to arrive at the high school as shots were being fired, but hid behind his car and did not radio in for 10 minutes.
Florida governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, in January 2019 suspended Broward County head sheriff Scot Israel, who has been accused of mishandling the BSO’s response to the shooting though a lack of coordination. The Florida Senate Rules Committee in October recommended removing Israel from his post entirely, after which DeSantis appointed officer Gregory Tony to head the BSO. Tony is now facing off against Israel in the 2020 election.

Hey look another fakenews type that has the po’ ol’ fakenewsmans knack for consistency, consistently being wrong! –
Back in October, Rubin declared in a headline that the “impeachment walls are closing in” after polling showed support for President Trump’s impeachment in the Ukraine scandal, which resulted in a Senate acquittal in February.
In May 2017, the Washington Post columnist similarly declared “The walls are closing in on the scandal-plagued president” after the firing of FBI Director James Comey sparked an outcry from several Republicans at the time like Justin Amash, Jeff Flake, John Kasich, and the late John McCain.
Many on social media responded to Rubin’s latest reiteration with mockery.
“The walls are closing in. For real this time,” The Daily Caller’s Logan Hall reacted with a screenshot of tweets from The Washington Post repeating her yearslong claim. “Jennifer Rubin, among other liberal pundits, has been trying to speak the ‘walls are closing in on Trump’ line into existence for years.”
“Those are the slowest moving walls in history. Rubin types of have been saying this for 3 years,” Twitter user Ken Meyer wrote.

Trumps so called tax cuts were mostly for the rich and didn’t come close to paying for themselves with the so called growth they were supposed to generate which never happenned. Also Trumps incompetence in his handling the Pandemic allowed it to get out of hand and he supported the Trillions of debt to keep things afloat because of his inaction when things could have been mitigated.

Punchy various times
It remains that whatever skills and knowledge Trump brought to the show, he was spied upon and hobbled by Democrats starting before his nomination, unabated, and the glee with which Democrats demanded and got shutdowns of the economies of all 50 states was obviously driven by the knowledge it was the last chance of bringing Trump and the GOP down. If it meant bringing misery to all outside their small circle of friends, so be it.
After all, Pelosi has her $24,000 refrigerator filled with $12 a pint ice cream. Yum!
The bait was hunker down and flatten the curve so as to not overwhelm the hospitals… but that morphed into hunker down until the virus is no more. Stay isolate until the all klear klaxon is sounded. Some idiots (all Dems) are even now saying schools should be kept closed until there’s a vaccine or a cure, which in the real world may be never.

Presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden held a “virtual roundtable” Thursday afternoon where he again struggled badly to communicate as his verbal gaffes continue to pile up.
The roundtable featured Biden along with Michigan Gov. Whitmer, New Jersey Gov. Murphy, and Connecticut Gov. Lamont, discussing the coronavirus pandemic.
Like other recent Biden virtual events, Thursday’s was marked by technical hiccups like visual and audio glitches, along with the former vice president getting his tongue tied in knots:
Biden said at the beginning of the event:
“We’re … in the middle of a pandemic that has cost us more than 85,000 jobs as of today. Lives of millions of people. Millions of people. Millions of jobs. You know, and we’re in a position where, you know we just got new unemployment insurance, this morning, uh, numbers — 36.5 million claims since this crisis began.”
