It's just business, decrease state funding, federal emergency disaster relief will pay for it instead.

And scream Biden flooded the state. Don't forget that. And, of course, his fanbase will believe him.

Sure, instead of prevention all his buddies will get rich off the gummit. And all the MAGAts that survive will get maybe 1,000. To . . . Well hopefully not get cholera.

Him and Bavarian conservatives are truly one of a kind, saving on flood prevention (and hating drag queens reading books).
De Santis meets CSU politicians

One of a kind, indeed. I wonder if there’s a specific name for that kind.

They are called "shills". When there is government action in Florida, there is usually campaign donations behind it.

Desantis champions stricter marijuana laws, because private prisons.

Book burning has the backing of religious groups.

It wouldn't surprise me if construction and home restoration companies are behind this move.

Andi Scheuer standing next to Ron de Santis is the crossover I never knew I wanted.

Still don't, actually. Because I fucking hate it.

This was his plan all along. How else is he gonna wring more money from the federal govt?

Good. Why wasting money on Florida anyway? There will be much less of it, anyway, due to global warming.

Yeah, better to spend it on lawyers to defend unconstitutional laws he signs.
