The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.
DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:
…
The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia ®, would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”
What kind of idiot do you have to be to send millions of state funds to one rich individual? That legislature should go jump in a swamp.
Consider how comprehensively corrupt and anti-democratic the legislature as a whole has to be for this sort of blatantly heinous shit to even make it to the governor’s desk in the first place.
This has to be the first fucking thing Ron has done that I respect too.
“Florida man”
Especially since for trumps situation, five million is nothing.
His legal bills are a hell of a lot more.
Pfft. The amount doesn’t matter when he has no intention of paying them anyway.
A Trump dick-riding idiot
Is there not some unconstitutionality in making the language of a bill so restricted that it’s clearly aimed at a single person?
Maybe everyone could run for president as independents.

Ah, a bill meant to aid
the personthe people.Damn. Never thought I’d agree with Ron “Slutty Little Heels” DeSantis on anything.
If you think about it, even a stopped clock will be right twice a day, a defective clock, however, can go months or even years without being right once!
What the fuck. Do crimes and we’ll pay your bills! All while telling people you’re the real victim. Those loser residents in Florida were ready to give their money to crooks in broad daylight. They deserve what they get down there. Sink into ocean Florida.
Imagine being homeless or hungry in Florida and seeing this bill.
Where do you think the residents will go then?
Fun fact from Wikipedia:
Ileana Garcia won in 2020 against incumbent José Javier Rodriguez by a margin of 34 votes.Alex Rodriguez “ran” in the same race as a third party candidate, and despite not campaigning, recieved over six thousand votes. Likely because he shared the same last name as the Dem. Former Republican State Senator Frank Artiles has been arrested for bribing Alex to run and Alex will be testifying against him as part of his plea deal.
No wonder she has a soft spot for criminals.
This is an important reminder. Thank you so much for pointing that out!
You’re totally right.
Bro, what the fuck is up with Trump’s face? Has his makeup gotten even worse?
I think he’s on Ozempic, so he’s basically starving to death slowly.
Being satisfied with small meals isn’t “starving to death slowly”. If you’re not an Olympic athlete or marathon runner, you can survive on 1800-2400 calories a day just fine.
I’m talking about what it physiologically does to your body, but thanks for being ignorant.
Pls elaborate, this seems interesting.
It’s been all over the news lately, but this is the first result that still talked about the mechanism a little: https://www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/semaglutide-ozempic-5-possible-gut-issues-and-why-it-happens
It indirectly slows your guts down because it’s one of the signals in digestion. To the point where few are having gut paralysis. In general, if someone is struggling with it, it’s because they don’t get hungry at a normal pace and eating more feels like gagging it down ontop of their previous meal. Nice when you need to shed a few pounds, but annoying to maintain a weight if it’s not even worse. Not that everyone struggles on it, it’s just the downsides suuuck if they apply.
Not in the news where I am.
Ty for answer.
Global warming may be nature’s way of trying to submerge Florida. I say let nature win one.
Long before Florida ends up under water, it will be covered by hundreds of feet of seaweed.
I expect it’ll come in the form of Katrina-like events, hurricanes causing massive flooding.
And all the insurance companies are fleeing the state… I wonder how well this will play out…
Did you hear Florida has a system where private insurers can just pick and choose the policies they want away from the state funded insurance program? The homeowner will just get a letter that says, “we’re your new insurer now!”
Florida taxpayers literally get the dregs.
Yay, millions of deaths!
Yes, yesss, let the infighting begin.
I guess one guy versus all the rest counts as “infighting”, yeah
Uh oh, he messed up - if he had made the check out to “the wives of those running for President…”, then he would have gotten away with it Scott-free. Nobody (in Florida) ever thinks to check for that loophole.
Yep, everyone knows they cannot charge a husband and wife for the same crime.
Hrm, maybe this
scamscheme only works if your wife owns a drug testing company and then you make drug testing mandatory for a good fraction of the people across the entire state, based on no evidence whatsoever and in fact rather against everything that has ever been measured in that regard before. Anyway, the trick is that doing such a thing does not directly benefit “him” - see how that works? Yeah… me neither, that’s why I suggested that they try it again!
