Discussion DeSantis starts private charity for hurricane relief in Florida. Can he be trusted without oversight?

[HomerJS]

We all know Republican leaders have a history of misappropriating funds earmarked for charitable causes. Can DeSantis be trusted without independent oversight to ensure money isn’t funneled to his campaign or for personal use?

Whatever attachment wont load, regardless HELL NO.

The funneling to not-charitable causes is what I would fully expect from him/his cronies.

 

[Moonbeam]

Totally trustworthy. It's just that grifters have high administrative costs. Money will go missing before the administrators can even steal it.

Good. So Biden WON'T have to send federal aid to Flori-Duh then...

 

[Lezunto]

Of course, DeSantis should be in charge. The fabric for KKK robes and hoods is expensive!

Any funds earmarked for a Black neighborhood will be spent on truncheons, tear gas and handcuffs as befitting Republican law enforcement.

This will somehow end up funding anti-CRT books in FL public schools.

Is water wet?

 

[iRONic]

"truncheons"

We all know Ron is grooming Casey to be FLOTUS.

They'll probably use the money to fly more immigrants to liberal areas.

Hmmm may Rick Scott can spare some time to help with the charity

Sorry, I couldn't help thinking: FLOTUS = "Fascist Looter of The US"?

This is a fairly accurate depiction of how I reacted when I read this*

Er, I mean, gosh, of course he can, he's an upright, moral citizen incapable of doing wrong.

*Just envision a frog instead of a mouse

This. He already spent funds sent to FL for residents' relief from Covid on flying immigrants in Texas north, so why wouldn't he spend hurricane relief money the same way?

At this point giving any money to these guys is like giving to the Nigerian prince who emailed you.
