Of course, in a likely for show, too little too late gesture, Ron DeSantis has promised to veto state funds going to Trump.

So Florida state Senator Ileana Garcia withdrew Senate Bill 1740 allocating state funds to Donald Trump's legal defense. Let that sink in... an office-holding GOPer was pushing a bill to use tax dollars coddling a billionaire criminal defendant... Of course, she's framed her back-pedalling in terms of "he can handle himself" but let us not be naive;; odds are some beadle showed up at her office with a briefcase full of everything they have on Dear Leader's legal problems and basically said "there's no unf---ing this -the public's going to find out about it and if you don't want Trump-stink all over you, you need to pull that bill yesterday."; Now, in principle, I'm not opposed to Florida footing the bill for Dear Leader's defense... if he's assigned a low budget public defender just like any other private citizen who can't afford representation... ...and given how he keeps stupidly defaming E. Jean Carroll while he's already being sued for stupidly defaming E. Jean Carroll, he may just need that state-appointed lawyer before too long
