Maybe Lara Trump sang for Ron DeSantis, ya spose? Because something totally screwed her chances of getting appointed to Marco Rubio’s vacant Senate seat and I’m trying to think what could be so conclusively alienating. Not that DeSantis needed to be alienated. He never liked the idea of Lara Trump taking that seat to begin with. She only recently moved to Florida and DeSantis’ view is that she hadn’t paid her dues. But of course Trump wanted it and we have seen a lot of going back and forth. In all events, Lara took her hat out of the ring. This is intriguing because she’s resigned as head of the RNC. So does that mean it’s now her musical career nonstop? Heaven help us. We will come to envy the deaf.
Translation: DeSantis told her no fucking way he was appointing her unqualified ass to a seat in the U.S. Senate.

We don’t know the inner workings of Florida politics. But now we know Lara’s out and I suppose it’s still possible that DeSantis could fill in for Pete Hegseth if Hegseth can’t get confirmed. Anything is possible in this day and age. That’s the first thing to bear in mind. Somebody told Lara the appointment wasn’t happening and so we’ll see what DeSantis is going to do, with or without Trump greasing his palm.
I am sure that the Senate is breathing a sigh of relief. Although they’ve still got plenty of MAGA kooks.
He bit the hand. The next chapter should be a hoot!

Here’s a thought: maybe DeSantis wants to appoint somebody who will play ball with him because after the person serves out Rubio’s term, maybe DeSantis intends to run for the Senate. He’s precluded by term limits from running for another term as governor (which is why Matt Gaetz is salivating for the post) and he intends to stay in politics, I presume, so maybe that’s his best shot.
Or, maybe DeSantis intends to run again in 2028 for president. I don’t think that’s a great idea but he may do it anyhow.
All we have at this point is speculation. My speculation is that Daddy-in-Law will find a post somewhere for her. Maybe he’ll give her an ambassadorship in some far flung country and then he can get Eric out of his hair, too. The last chapter of this saga has not been written.
“So does that mean it’s now her musical career nonstop? Heaven help us. We will come to envy the deaf.”
So, to paraphrase Tina Turner’s “One of the Living” (from “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”),
“Oh, they always said that the hearing would envy the deaf.” (All apologies to songwriter, Holly Knight. For those unfamiliar with, or don’t immediately recall, the song, the original line is “Oh, they always said that the living would envy the dead.”)
Here it is for those who want to listen to it.
All “Hail to the wonderful” Tina Turner! Peace.
Well…I guess that ends the possible opening act of each senate session. I was waiting for her song list…we already know about Tom Petty and the gates of hell…appropriate for where we presently are. I was hoping for classics like Running With the Devil…but, alas, we’ll never hear her melodious voice ringing in the halls of Congress. Damn.
Forgot to add…maybe Ms. Boobert could open with some pole dancing since this happened. The coked up snowbirds in Colorado know talent when they see it…
