Florida attempting to pass a bill to pay for legal services For Donald Trump

[HomerJS]

Amazing. Republicans in Florida want to start a taxpayer paid slush fund to give Trump up to 5 million dollars to offset his legal fees". This takes an amazing amount of balls or Florida resident are more stupid than I thought.

On Monday, a new piece of legislation, championed by Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, was introduced by Florida state Senator Ileana Garcia which would create the "Florida Freedom Fighters Fund." The fund would provide up to $5 million to cover legal costs for Florida residents who are running for president, like Trump, and face "legal, partisan, political attacks by the Department of Justice or State Attorneys," according to a release from Patronis's office.

Is Newsweek the new onion?

 

[JTsyo]

This will be great for advertisement in blue states. "If you visit Florida, you're are helping fund Trump's defense fund."

Is there an amendment to volunteer for the weekly Potential President fellatio rotation too?

 

[nickqt]

I'm OK with that, it's better than the Federal Government being used as Trump's legal defense fund.

At this point, i'm rooting for Florida to continue setting new records in being Florida. It's like a fiery car crash, it's terrible but I'm going to watch it.

there's no stranger fiction than reality, because fiction has to make sense

Actually, yes. The Newsweek website has nothing to do with the magazine of yesteryear. It is click-bait central.

I've read a few Newsweek articles last year. It didn't seem that bad. In a similar vein, USA Today isn't going to snatch any Pulitzer Prizes away from The New York Times.

It's fascinating how much contempt the GOP has for its dumb fuck voters; the politicos know those rubes will accept anything as long as you insist it's "anti-woke."
Or LBJ's old quote:

LBJ: 'If You Can Convince the Lowest White Man He's Better Than the Best Colored Man ...'

President Lyndon B. Johnson, who grew up in the South and understood the politics of racism from the inside, saw it in part as a ploy to divide and conquer.

Sucks to be a Democrat in Florida though. I'm just wondering if through the magic of sleight of hand accounting, DeSantis will eventually make the federal gov't a dupe in that scheme of theirs.

Florida is a basketcase.

So they want to use money that came from rank and file taxpayers in the state to pay for a billionaire's legal fees?

Now that is democracy in action!

Republicans. The party always looking out for the middle class.

"The law, in its infinite fairness, prevents both rich and poor from stealing bread, sleeping on park benches, and begging on the streets"

Guarantee there are dumbfucks out there that support this because it protects them from the federal government.

 

[HomerJS]

Withdrawn. The fact it was even introduced should tell you everything you need to know about Republicans in Florida.
