Rick Scott just went there on Joe Biden and the 25th Amendment
This would be ludicrous if it wasn't coming from the Medicare fraudster of all time....
(CNN) - Perhaps unhappy with the soaring profile of fellow Floridian Ron DeSantis among the Trumpist base of the Republican Party, Sen. Rick Scott decided to do something about it on Monday.
"After the disastrous events in Afghanistan, we must confront a serious question: Is Joe Biden capable of discharging the duties of his office or has time come to exercise the provisions of the 25th Amendment?" he tweeted.
Which, whaaa?
Look. There is no question that the images coming out of Afghanistan over the past days have been horrifying. And that Biden -- and his top aides -- were caught by surprise by the rapid capitulation of the Afghan forces to the Taliban. And even that Biden's blame game speech on Monday afternoon likely worsened his political position rather than strengthening it.

TAMPA (WFLA) – Florida Sen. Rick Scott told reporters after viewing the explicit videos of the attack on the Capitol the Senate trial is a “complete waste of time.”
(snip)
When asked if Scott thought former President Donald Trump bears any responsibility for the capitol riots that took place on Jan.6, Scott said, “Look, I’ve been clear that I wish the president had said something faster when they broke into it, but, you know, I’ve watched what he said. He’s never said when somebody should break in — [he] actually said that people should do this peacefully.”
“This is a complete waste of time,” he continued. “It’s not doing anything to help American families, it’s not helping people get jobs, it’s not helping get the vaccine out… it’s vindictive.”
