All the governor's snowflakes

DeSantis' office won't address Rick Nolte, the school board member/self-declared campaign felon he endorsed. And Anthony Pedicini, the hilarious common link of multiple scandals, is having a sad.

---

When is Gov. Ron DeSantis going to remove Rick Nolte, the self-declared campaign felon that DeSantis endorsed for Polk County School Board? (It’s a felony to accept any cash donation over $5,000, a felony Nolte says he committed back in March.)

Does the governor know his guy is being fined $500/day for failing to follow the law and submit his campaign “termination report?” Who vetted Nolte and recommended that DeSantis endorse him? Did the governor know about Nolte’s rather groom-ish social media “T.I.T.S.” manifesto when he endorsed him? Why has DeSantis put Rick “T.I.T.S.” Nolte above the law while removing Andrew Warren over vibes and creating corrupt “election police?” Would the governor recommend that any child or employee or Polk schools stakeholder ever be alone with Nolte?

These all seem like reasonable questions to ask the governor who wanted to inflict Nolte on the people and kids of Polk County.

Yet, when little old me, with my measly 1500 post-Elon Twitter followers, who will never have a blue check, started publicly asking these questions of the governor’s trash-talking “Alpha” dogs, they turned Beta (or Gamma) really fast.

Nothing says “I hear you, now shut up” like a block from trash talking Alphas

These blocks are all post election.

I’ve been mocking Christina Pushaw on general principle and for her specific role in lying about the Jefferson County charter scandal forever. But it seems to have taken Nolte — who I bet she served up to DeSantis — to make her go full snowflake.

I don’t even know who this Jeremy Redfern guy is other than he seems to co-flack with Pushaw and Taryn Fenske. I just started adding him to tags. Glad to see he saw them.

I’m hoping Fenske adds herself to the gallery — so I can make it a clean sweep of DeSantis flackdom. But so far, she’s just ignoring my questions about the relationship DeSantis and “T.I.T.S.” Nolte and how it came to be. Passive aggressive snowflakery.

Don’t take it personal, Pedicini. LOL

Speaking of snowflakes and questions and friendships and relationships with the governor… Anthony Pedicini, the very important coverboy of Peter Schorsch’s “Influence” Magazine, has had a rough post-election patch.

1. He lost a Polk County School Board election (on behalf of a close Nolte ally) by 12 points (to a “lib,” lol). More than that, his PAC put the political and moral brands of Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister, Tampa General Hospital, and the Florida School Board Association’s lobbyist in bed with this Polk candidate’s gross, criminal-led, book-banning campaign. And then he lost. Badly. To a “lib.” On a positive note, those brands, through the PAC, paid Pedicini’s firm $250,000 to lose and humiliate them in the process. Full background here. Now, that’s “Influence.” Recognize the game.

2. Pedicini found himself a star of his good friend Sheriff Chronister’s deposition in the Andrew Warren case. And this exchange — coupled with the backing-a-criminal-led-campaign-so-Pedicini-can-get-paid thing — might get a little awkward the next time these frat boys hang out for a beer. Chronister is answering the questions here. The emphasis in bold is from me.

Q: So when did you first confer with Mr. Pedicini about the topic of Andrew Warren's suspension?

A: A few days before the suspension when I was authoring the speech.

Q: Okay. Did you tell the governor's office that you were going to talk with people about it?

A: I did not.

Q: Okay. Do they know that you spoke with Mr. Pedicini about it?

A: I don't believe they did.

Q: Okay. And you didn't know that he had also been helping them draft the order -- right -- or at least providing language for the order?

A: No, sir. I'm not aware of him participating in any of the process.

Q: Okay. What do you make of that, the fact that he was helping you and also helping the governor?

A: Am I supposed to assume that it's true?

Q: Yeah. Assume that it's true.

A: I don't know what to think about it. You're — you're just telling me something I was unaware of. It's never been communicated with me in any way, shape or form. So you're going to favorite [cq] questions if I'm surprised. Yeah. I'm surprised.

Wait, wait, wait … I’m told this may be live footage of the latest Chronister-Pedicini bro hang.

Anyway, I first became aware of Anthony Pedicini some years ago when he stormed onto my Facebook page to tell me how awesome and powerful he is. I was like: “Ok.”

We have very sporadically (once or twice) sparred on social media since then. So I wanted to congratulate him personally on leading Jill Sessions and her criminal campaign manager to humiliating defeat in Polk County — and making $250K off trashing the brand reputations of Chronister, TGH, FSBA, and so many other names in the process.

Alas, Anthony, like his snowflake buddies and collaborators in DeSantis press office, has also gone Gamma. Et tu, Pedicini?

Thus, I can’t talk to him live. So I’ll just commune with the beautifully-framed Alpha on the cover of the summer’s edition of “Influence.” (Notice his big gun.)

I think you can call Peter Schorsch, who publishes “Influence,” the yearbook advisor for the degenerate high school that is Florida’s state government, campaign consulting, lobbying, and (much of the) political media class.

Pedicini is its try-guy student body president.

So we should pay attention to what he says. He’s very, very important. Just ask him.

And this seems to be Pedicini’s manifesto from the “Influence” article, written by Jacob Ogles:

Pedicini doesn’t suffer many scruples for the work for the work he’s done, even if it brings him plenty of disdain and grief.

“I don’t know, I get frustrated when you have politicians who just don’t want to admit that what you’re putting out is true,” he said. “If you voted on something and I put on a mailer on behalf of my client that you raised taxes, don’t get all mad that we put it on a flier. I didn’t vote for it. I guess that’s the toughest part, right? When you run a race, you put everything out there on a person. The other team wants everything our there on you as a person.

“If you take things personally, you probably shouldn’t run for office, because none of it is personal, it really is just politics. And if it’s true, it’s fair. If you voted for that tax, it’s fair. If you didn’t pay your child support or you filed for bankruptcy, you probably need to think about not running. If you have a divorce file that’s 30 feet thick, the public sphere is probably not for you.”

Bro, that is great advice for anybody.

I totally agree.
