Unbelievable

Desatan is gearing up to be one of the most corrupt politicians in America. He’s instituting pay for play right out in the open w/o a hint of shame. There’s basically 2 Americas now. One so corrupt even law makers make it seem normal & the other pretending everything’s ok.

Carrying forward to the conversation, Jason further wrote, “One day after this legislation was filed in Tallahassee, Joe Ricketts, the billionaire founder of TD Ameritrade whose kids own the Chicago Cubs, gave DeSantis a $1 million donation. Major League Baseball hired the lobbying firm owned by one of DeSantis’ biggest Florida fundraisers and that now employs DeSantis’ former chief of staff,” Jason added.

The diligent reporter indicated two reasons for the same. One is the noteworthy $1 million donation received by DeSantis following this bill. And the second that MLB was lobbying in support of the legislation.
