Folks, today is the 6th anniversary of the passing of screen legend Burt Reynolds. You know what that means, right? Here's the now semi-infamous #BurtReynoldsStory:

As many of you know, in 2016 I worked on the first campaign for now Congressman Brian Mast in Florida. Brian was a carpetbagger but we had lived in Martin County for nearly 10 years by then (and my parents nearly 30 by now.)

🧵Friends, sit back while I tell you the story of Chris LaCivita & everyone's friend, Allen West. Our tale begins in 2004 after the nomination of John Kerry as the Democratic candidate for president vs George W Bush. Now, you may remember that it was a national security election And John Kerry was expected to provide credibility against Bush by being the decorated Vietnam combat veteran who built a career as a war protester.

I've said this to y'all before but because too many have anointed him as The Next Conservative Hope® you don't pay attention. But Ron DeSantis will go down as the most corrupt governor in modern Florida history. #FlaPol Not because he has financially benefited himself personally, although I can't rule that out. But as far as shady and downright dirty operations by his official staff (who are state employees and paid by taxpayers) and how unethical his office is. Hate me all you want

The thing to really keep an eye on is what Ron and Casey do after this debacle finally crashes to earth. They're broke. They have no assets (they used a condo rented from a pedophile as their previous address.) Ron has never had an actual career so where do they go? If you think Casey Antoinette is gonna go back to live remotes for local TV you're nuts. Ron can't do TV because he's an asshole who hates to chat. His books are standard RW claptrap and won't be bestsellers when he isn't gov and can't force people to buy them in bulk

He's not wrong here. I sorta did this inadvertently in 2016 while working for the guy whose name I'm tired of saying. We would often go around to outdoor sign waving rallies while driving between events. One day we planned to stop at a place somewhere in Palm Beach County. It was a shopping center parking lot on a very busy corner and the Candidate was excited. That dude loves cheering crowds like I love cheeseburgers. Saying the Pledge is his highest calling in life.

Bear with me because I need to pay tribute to someone who meant a great deal to me. Some 12 years ago my wife and I got to know an older couple at our church. They always stuck out due to their bearing, the way they held hands, and the fact that the man usually drove a sportscar One day they invite us to dinner at the Sewalls Point Club (Martin County peeps know it well.) It's an incredible place on the ocean with five star service, etc. Not the place I would ever go. But it was incredible.

🧵Newsflash: I'm gonna play amateur political strategist for a second. Note to my liberal friends who are filling my TL with seething, white hot rage: this SCOTUS leak is a really good thing for you (and perhaps why it was leaked to begin with.) Lemme splain: Y'all are about to get worked this Fall and in less than a year you're facing Speaker Jordan/Stafanik/Banks. It's happening because you literally don't have a platform besides "REPUBLICANS ARE CRAZY AND THEY HATE YOU." Ok, while you may have a point...

Official government employee who is literally the definition of an insider has something to say about entrenched bureaucracy. What's also not a conspiracy theory is having a minimal resume with hardly a single accomplishment, cold calling the governor of the third largest state and suddenly getting hired to fill one of his most important staff positions without any prior experience.

I'm making a ton of new friends on Facebook due to my insistence that a beloved local teacher would still be alive had he simply gotten a shot. I'm over it, folks. I'm a husband and father. One of my primary responsibilities is to ensure that I am there for my family, both to provide and to nurture. Because of that I got my vaccine in January as soon as I was eligible. I did the research. I talked to my doctor, and there was no doubt

Thread. My only issue is that all of this was available online and no one looked for it. Simple Google searches by media or her opponents would've found all of it. So fact that people were unaware is due to gross incompetency You could hire any one of 250 firms out there for maybe $5k tops and they would've found all of this within 48hrs. Again, massive incompetence.

Stand by so, yesterday I did a thing. I'm not particularly proud of or happy about it but I did it and I won't pretend it didn't happen. I don't live my life that way. What follows will be my best attempt to explain myself and offer a mea culpa to Kyle and only to him.

Just imagine feeling like you have to vote for this guy in order to protect your way of life. Also, BREAKING: God doesn't require a president in office to protect His will. He is perfectly capable without having Trump as president. Stop fooling yourselves, Christians.

Watching Judge Barrett on stage reminded me of the time that my wife and I were turned down for adoption once local state agency learned I worked on Republican campaigns I can't 100% prove it but they made it pretty clear to us. After a dozen meetings, several home visits and having us meet potential children suddenly everything got frozen when I began working for local Republicans vs just national

So, since @KFoleyFL blocked me and made a personal attack, here's what he doesn't want me to say: I did reach out to kyle when he was struggling and needed work. I literally offered him work writing and editing newsletters that I had. He completely blew me off Sometimes there's a reason why people are constantly broke and failing at life. That's just a fact.

Admit it: your anger is over the hypocrisy of naming a replacement and not the actual decision to do it. But insisting that you're going to pack the court as a response is about anger, not being right. Just hope you accept the potential consequences Because swing and moderate voters (i.e. people Biden needs to win) aren't very comfortable with that idea. But you guys do you.

Nah, fuck it, I'll leave with this and y'all can do what you want. DM me shitty comments. Tell me to fuck off, whatever. I'll say this and be done for the night:

I admired the shit out of RBG. Absolutely hated her politics. But unlike too many of you, and pretty much everyone in politics these days, she knew how to behave like a fucking adult. She understood that being an adult meant more than your political affiliation. You could treat your political opponents like the human beings they were.

I had no idea that author Winston Groom of "Forrest Gump" fame passed away on Wednesday. He wrote a lot of interesting stuff, but is perhaps best known as the most famous victim of so called "Hollywood accounting." When Groom sold Forrest Gump, he received a 3% profit share on that blockbuster film. Problem was the studio claimed the film was unprofitable. Oops.

Folks, I really don't mean this to be harsh, but I honestly don't pay attention to very many pundits. Opinions are just that and I don't have an interest in hearing too many of them. So, when I refer to Never Trump people I'm specifically referring to people actually in politics. Finding some dude on the internet somewhere who I guess is NT and had an opinion is pretty meaningless to me because I just don't pay attention to very many of those types.

Humbled by the value of friendship this week. When I look back on 2020 the thing that stands out for me is the realization of just how important a few close relationships can be. And that is a tough thing to learn for an extreme introvert like myself who has always been self reliant.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant long form profile of DeSantis by @Mdixon55, @fineout, @michaelkruse.

As someone who worked for his BFF & was around the two of them, they got this spot on.

"The Governor Who Holds Trump’s Fate in His Hands" politi.co/35ELmrk via @politico The comparisons between DeSantis & Mast are extraordinary. Nakedly ambitious. Self absorbed. 100% transactional. Aloof. One way loyalty. Very robotic emotionally. It's no wonder they're tight. Or, are they really?
