I served 6 Presidents, 3 Rs & 3Ds. I directly supported Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama. While I didn't agree with all their policy choices, I admired and respected all of them, as they put country above their personal interests. Not so with you, as your self adoration is disgraceful https://t.co/A1brb0HW3V

@There goes crooked ricky again
Tell crooked ricky never again:
“In Florida and in State Government:

Concerned citizens of Florida ought to plaster crooked ricky “never again” unwanted posters on every dumpster and garbage can in the state. Hopefully, aspiring art students and artists will submit samples of a crooked ricky “never again” unwanted here poster to social media – all media – as soon as possible.
Act like the future depends on it. It does.
