The fact that most Floridians don’t know this bill existed is staggering.

That state is so corrupted by wierdo racist southerners, russians, the mob, and the cartels it’s crazy.

All shitty losers who the GOP let in willingly while saying the opposite.

Believe me when I say that much of the country hopes that state and everyone in it goes under. It was a mistake.

Given the thumbs down by DeSantis. There goes his hopes for VP.

No way he's making a play for VP. Even DeSantis should know that Trump would never allow a candidate that threatened him (however ineffectively) to get the VP spot. And this time around, Trump doesn't need to feign moderation like he did with Pence. I suspect he goes with Kerry Lake as his VP, and DeSantis makes a play at AG (which is why we saw him fold tail and endorse Trump this week)

That was definitely a joke, I don’t think Trump would ever have VP Meatball, but agreed.

Not sure what "nixes" means : article goes :

A push by some Florida Republicans to use taxpayer money to help pay for former President Donald Trump’s multiple legal battles quickly fell apart after Gov. Ron DeSantis threatened to veto the legislation.

it's an ellision of "nichts" (nothing) from German, gaining popularity as English slang in the 1830s and 40s.
