"SNIP.......

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has vetoed the state budget’s $35 million that would have funded a new training facility and youth complex for the Tampa Bay Rays after the baseball team tweeted its support for gun control, Fox News reports.

......SNIP"

1. DeSantis has lost his fucking mind.

[Fullduplexxx]

2. Governor butthurt

[edhopper]

3. This wasn't just a Rays training camp

this was a year round youth sports complex. DeSantis just took something children would benefit from. But when hasn't he hurt children?

[budkin]

4. This is the Republican only future we have to look forward to

Government will punish private companies that disagree with them politically.

[Thomas Hurt]

5. Oh yeah, he wants to be the Fuhrer to replace the Pig.

6. Going after the leadership of civic organizations and other establishment: Khmer Rouge

[C_U_L8R]

7. Yet more proof the GOP is anti-business

But very much pro-extortion.

[tanyev]

12. +1,000,000.

[Chainfire]

8. DeSantis thinks it is his money

Any organization that disagrees on any issue with the governor is subject to DeSantis lowering the boom on them. It is a clear abuse of power by an autocratic governor.

[SergeStorms]

13. But Florida republicans love him.

Republicans are truly the worst people in the world.

[Chainfire]

15. Of course Fl. Republicans love him, he is a full suit Fascist.

That is what the Grand Old Party has embraced. If Trump becomes disqualified, this guy will probably be our next POTUS.

[DET]

9. I don't get it...

Why does this tool think that this kind of Gestapo behavior will help him politically? Even if it somehow works in Florida, it won’t fly nationwide - and we all know DeSantis’ ultimate goal is to replace TFG.

[sop]

16. The national media devotes countless hours talking about him after each of his political stunts.

"DeSantis is sticking it to the libs" is the message, and it's all Republican base primary voters care about.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

10. Why the state should pay for facilities

for a professional sports team that is probably not exactly going broke, has always bothered me.

[SYFROYH]

11. I remember when GA hurt Delta over guns.

14. If you are a business that still operates in the state of Florida

then fuck you.

Florida should be turned into a Hate Radio state. No Ford, GE, Disney, or Lowes, but all the fucking male pattern baldness clinics and Swiss Gold Coin shops you can find.

Oh, and maybe a few Testicle Tanning Salons.

Look, it's pretty fucking simple.

"Nothing will change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it."
