DeSantis blocks state money for Tampa Bay Rays training facility after team tweets against gun violence

 

DeSantis on Thursday used his line-item veto powers to eliminate $35 million for a sports training and youth tournament complex in Pasco County, in the Tampa Bay area, which local officials hoped could serve as the new player development facility for the Rays. On Friday, he said he eliminated the funding because "I don't support giving taxpayer dollars to professional sports stadiums."

I guess the Rays didn't get the Disney memo 

Timing could be coincidence but the guy obviously really wants to be GOP nominee.  Glad he's not governor of New York or we'd pry lose the Bills.

Florida already has a law on the books that limits state money to pro franchises ever since the fraud committed by the Miami Marlins. The line item was written in a way to pretend it was not for the Rays, when it clearly was. We had a similar situation in Orlando with the soccer stadium where they had financing, law passed before it was finalized, and then they did not have state funding. State can do other things but nothing like the $800 million NY is paying

Elon Musk votes for Mayra Flores in Texas special election, suggests he likes DeSantis for president
Elon Musk also predicted a massive red wave is coming in 2022

first time I ever voted Republican.

"I’m thinking of creating a ‘Super Moderate Super PAC’ that supports candidates with centrist views from all parties," Musk wrote.

That headline is fantastic. If a democrat did the same cnn would have read, ‘Florida governor blocks tax gift for billion dollar sports franchise.’

 

i don’t think they should get all the tax money they do, Bills included. It’s entertainment, they print money and have monopolistic market positions already.

Wow…no one here is talking about Joe Rogan’s endorsement of Ron DeSantis? It’s a big deal! Sad to say, but Joe Rogan has a lot of influence over Americans. Maybe enough to play a kingmaker role in the GOP primaries.

He just gets it...

 

 

 

LOL…Ron gets nothing….especially international politics. Gustavo Petro is a run-of-the-mill social democrat who admires Lula and Bernie. He wants to turn Colombia into a Latin American version of a Western European country. He regularly criticizes Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro, and Venezuelan totalitarianism. I’d say that Petro’s victory was a visceral reaction to many decades of failed right-wing Colombian politics and is probably a harbinger of a strong leftward shift throughout Latin America as a whole (if we were to ignore the other harbingers, that is: big leftist victories recently in Mexico, Honduras, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Bolivia).

Yep when people in any country are struggling the political pendulum swings from one extreme to the other to get any change.

 

See my paragraph above. This specific pendulum swing is only extreme if you think, say, German politics are extreme (er…present-day German politics, that is). Colombian government is so historically entrenched in corruption, however, that I have doubts as to how much Petro can change. Some of his energy infrastructure ideas come across as a bit too idealistic for a country that only allows for a single 4-year presidential term, anyway.

 

Bear in mind that American corporate media will be coming out strongly against Petro because our mainstream media is the mouthpiece for the neoliberal establishment oligarchy. Petro will likely challenge trade ties with the United States that are undoubtedly exploitative in nature toward the Colombian populace.

Which President DeSantis told you is a massive problem.

 

Especially considering the fact that nowhere do successful far left governments exist - unless you count suppressing freedom and capitalism as a success.

They're going to nominate Abrams.

Hmmm.....what "students?"   

 

 

 

Just wait till you read the 2024 platform - gonna blow your mind.  

 

 

1. Corporations taxed at 100%.  We sided with you for 50 plus years.  You chose anti America woke.  You're now getting Disney'd.   All of them.  Except one.  You will get some breaks if you hire Americans.  American citizens that actually graduate from our institutions - more on them below.  Local mom and pop - they are eligible for all kinds of tax breaks.

 

2. Close all loop holes in the tax code that allow them to get out of it.  Simplify it - VP Paul has been calling for this for years.  

 

3. Anyone making under 75 K a year pays ZERO taxes.  Couples over 150 pay ZERO taxes.  The days of disincentivizing work are over - especially for blue collar Americans are over.  Make hiring 14 and 15 year olds much easier - they do not need a ridiculous minimum wage.  And they will do a much better job at McDonald's then 2/3 of the 19 year old morons there now.  

 

4. Everyone else follows same tax structure except we start much lower at 150K and spike to over 50 plus percent at our highest earners.  

 

5.  Minimum wage is GONE.  They'll get paid less probably - but pay zero taxes - employees can hire more - which means you won't have to wait 45 minutes inside Jim's Steakout anymore for service.  That happened to me this weekend.  National labor shortage my **s

 

6. Federal spending getting slashed - starting with - everything.  

 

7. Making College affordable - you don't need it in every job and you don't need to be there for 4 years plus taking b.s. classes you don't need.  Reform the system - figure out ways to keep them in college less because they're most likely entering a workforce where they've been or could be replaced by AI.  

 

Same with public schools.  By 2034, all public high schools starting in 10th grade will start focusing on tracking.  You don't have to be there as much either.  Same college.   

 

#7 is open to all kinds of ideas.  I'm just spit balling.  

 

 

 

 

These are all winners at the ballot box.  

 

Its a new America.  Saved.  

 

Realignment fully complete.  GOP needs to get with the program.  Say "bye" to your former corporate masters.  They don't care about us - or America anymore.  

 

Ds continue to run on taking your guns, rights, teach CRT, higher gas prices, and the climate.

You trying to distract by not acknowledging Hitler DeSantis?
