Conservatives love fraud when it's rich people doing it.

Fraud for me, but not for thee

So what you're saying is we should all commit fraud until we're rich and then we'll be safe.

We were born poors, we'll always be poors in their eyes.

If you do crimes, not minor ones, but big crimes, this administration has a place for you!

Scott is a bag of shit, but the nominee for SoS is Florida's other senator Marco Rubio (who is also a bag of shit).

Scott is expected to become Florida's senior senator when Marco Rubio resigns to become secretary of state in the second cabinet of Donald Trump. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott

You're right. This is all speculation. No sources.

And I can't edit Wikipedia right now either.

Those are what we call qualifications.

Scott became CEO of Columbia/HCA ... In settlements reached in 2000 and 2002, Columbia/HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and agreed to a $600+ million fine in what was **at the time the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history. ** During Scott's 2000 deposition, he pleaded the Fifth Amendment 75 times.

For non US peps.

The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being forced to incriminate themselves. Incriminating oneself is defined as exposing oneself (or another person) to "an accusation or charge of crime"

Am I missing something? Rubio is set to be Secretary of State. Haven’t heard much about Rick Scott except he is defending all the shitty picks

Bests timeline has him replacing Rubio and both fired days after confirmation.
