    Default Trump asked Florida Gov. Scott to appoint attorney to bench

    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has bragged about his influence with politicians, urged Gov. Rick Scott to give a judgeship to a Florida attorney whose work appears at odds with Trump's hard-line stance on immigration, newly released emails show. The emails posted online late last week by the Scott administration show Trump recommended that the governor appoint Jose Izquierdo, a well-regarded attorney who had backing from several other South Florida Republicans.

    "Dear Rick: A friend of mine recommended this gentleman for a judgeship in Broward County. From what I understand, he is very well-respected in the legal community. Thank you. Sincerely, Donald," read the May 10 email, to which a two-page biography of Izquierdo was attached. Thirteen days after Trump's recommendation, Scott appointed the attorney as a Broward County circuit judge.

    Izquierdo, a Cuban-American born in Florida, has represented criminal immigrants, spoken on immigration issues and once represented the consulates of Mexico and Honduras...

    It's not clear whether Trump knew that Izquierdo had done work at odds with many of Trump's policy positions.

    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    "The day after GOP frontrunner Donald Trump won the Florida primary, the state’s governor, Rick Scott, endorsed him. In a Facebook post, Scott asked Republicans to “accept the will of the voters” and unite behind Trump. This came as no surprise, considering that Scott wrote an op-ed praising Trump in January for USA Today.

    Trump has been very generous to Scott in the past. Between April 2012 and the end of 2013, he gave $125,000 to Scott’s PAC, Let’s Get To Work."

    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    Maybe it's that "white" media that lyin' Darth was yipping about.

    Maybe they "forced" Trump to keep it on the down-low.

    Only one Trump defender commented? Man, it's like how interest in the Lolita Express dropped to zero once they found out that Trump and Epstein are besties.
