Why should Floridians be on the hook for a billionaire’s legal bills????
Why should Floridians be on the hook for a billionaire’s legal bills????
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) quashed hope for a bill introduced in the Florida legislature that would allow taxpayer funds to pay for former President Donald Trump’s legal expenses.
Good. Not the taxpayers' job. Only a straight-up leftwing Democrat would propose that Florida taxpayers pay the legal expenses of a billionaire.
??? They shouldn't period. I'm waiting for Trump to now start the attacks once again on DeSantis. Trump is responsible for his own legal bills.

@Hoodat
Your Class Envy is showing,bubba.
I guess you and the other DNC clones think the FACT that those legal bills are a result of your pals on the left filing bogus legal charges against him BECAUSE HE IS THE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT THAT THE LEFT FEARS THE MOST.
Good to see you people finally coming out of the closet and showing your support for the left,comrades!

And here I was thinking it was your pals in the DNC responsible for the legal bills.
@HoodatSOSDD! Don't you have anything else in your repertoire? Childish insults and accusing anyone that doesn't genuflect at you altar of orange of being a communist? Or envious? The left may have feared Trump once, but not since they fine tuned their apparatus in 2020 and almost every day Trump says something stupid or really cringe worthy that his orange mafia ignores but drives more and more on the fence voters away.

One doesn't have to suffer from any class envy to regard the abomination of the tax payer paying someone's legal bills to any degree beyond the support of a public defender's office as particularly galling when the intended beneficiary is wealthy.
@The_Reader_David
Good to see you come out of the closet and admit your class envy,Comrade!
@GtHawkDo you ever read anything you type before hitting post? But to answer you , yes it truthfully makes my head hurt reading your childish, repetitive (https://i.imgur.com/SgUFCc1.gif)
The truth hurts,huh?
To anyone on this thread who thinks Trump's legal bills should be paid by any taxpayer anywhere in the USA, please present your reasoned argument for your position, and kindly leave personal attacks out of that argument. I'm trying to understand, so please don't muddy it up with personal swipes and other earmarks of a flame war.
Thanks. 888high58888

As I said you go right ahead and bankroll (https://i.imgur.com/ojZRW3Y.jpg) that's your right but you don't get to tell others that they should or accuse them of being democrats and communists because they won't or point out that hey Orange man's a billionaire and he can pay his own bills......if he is paying his own bills not the people who think they're donating to his campaign.
When it comes to a BILLIONAIRE and his legal bills? (https://i.imgur.com/YNHH3Gf.gif) [/b]
@GtHawk
Class envy is never pretty,OR "classy".
And Trump would have never had those legal bills if he hadn't ran for President.
Not that you care about reality.

AGAIN, SO WHAT, @sneakypete ? How does that make the good people of Florida responsible to pay his legal bills?
He has the strangest arguments
I don’t get what class envy has to do with forcing taxpayers to pay for the legal fees of a billionaire.
@GtHawkI'm not the one living in an alternate orange reality. Exactly what class envy have I exhibited, be specific. Not supporting your orange idol is not class envy, believing that American taxpayers should not be paying for your billionaire orange idols legal bills is not class envy. I am absolutely positive you just pulled another unfounded accusation out of your sphincter because you've got nothing else, but go ahead list all the times I have posted anything envious about the orange one, I'll wait (https://i.imgur.com/ro3ZYXp.gif)

You are not making any sense @sneakypete - the bills ARE Trump's. He decided to run and what happens as a result of that he owns.
As for the class envy crappola -it's exactly that. Genuine crappola!

Let the record show that @sneakypete believes taxpayers should pay the legal fees of the rich
Gotta love his “debate” style. Makes judgments and accusations and then tells others they need to prove his case. When he does that, it’s best to just ignore him as it’s just his way of lashing out when the object of his affection(Trump) is under attack
@LMAO
Let the record state that you are not only delusional,you are as full of Biden as a Christmas goose.
The ONLY reason Trump is facing all these charges is BECAUSE he is running for President and is a threat to the professional left,as well as to jealous,petty,insecure losers like yourself.
I guess YOU prefer a system where ANY political candidate that runs for public office and is then bombarded with bogus legal charges would be REQUIRED to pay all their legal fees out of pocket?
Or is it just the wealthy that you want to see punished BECAUSE they are wealthy,Comrade?
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) quashed hope for a bill introduced in the Florida legislature that would allow taxpayer funds to pay for former President Donald Trump’s legal expenses.
Republican Trump endorser state Sen. Ileana Garcia introduced the bill, “Grants for Victims of Political Discrimination,” which would authorize up to $5 million to be granted to a qualified person.

Actual justice would be to make the "Democrat" political hack prosecutors
PERSONALLY LIABLE for all of the legal expenses they are inflicting on Trump
with their MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS!
They are abusing their power, delegated to them by the voters,
spending PUBLIC money, ILLEGALLY attacking an innocent person
with FABRICATED charges!
THE PROSECUTION IS THE CRIME!
@GtHawkAre you off your meds? How or when did I ever try to control you? If anyone is trying to control others it's you with your constant abuse and name calling of anyone that doesn't follow your lead and genuflect at the altar of orange. Thanks but no thanks back to ignore you go and my life will be better for it, too bad though because other than you orange obsession I enjoyed your comments on other issues. OH Well....adios amigo :seeya:
Read the above post.
As for posting all of your envious and jealous BS,I have a life to live that is NOT controlled by you.
First, you tell me that I’m full of shit. Then everything you posted after that confirmed my assessment of your position… Lol. Then his las sentence he attempts an argument I never made
But I’ll tell you what. Since you feel so strongly about this that, yes, taxpayers should pay for billionaires legal fees, why don’t you give up a good portion of your veterans benefits to help him
Don’t demand that other taxpayers pay for things you believe in. Show us that you’re consistent.
The bill was so unpopular it didn’t even make it to Ron DeSantis’s desk.
I have a hunch that your position on this doesn’t apply to the Biden’s. It’s just that your personal affection for Donald Trump is clouding your judgment.
SP responses is exactly why this type of legislation is a very bad idea
If Donald Trump is cleared of the charges, and it was found that those charging him engaged in legal malpractice, he should be reimbursed for his legal fees that he had to spend
@LMAO
Uhhhhh,if the feral gooberment was paying his legal fees and he is cleared,the feral gooberment should be reimbursed for the time and money they spent to defend him.
This isn't all that complex,and I honestly can't figure out why it puzzles so many of you.
But that’s not what this bill is. There are people who think the charges against both Joe and Hunter Biden are bogus and politically motivated. So the people in Florida under that bill would also have to pay any legal fees of any politician that is charged just because somebody comes up with the subjective idea that the charges are bogus before there’s even really been a trial
Blah,blah,BullBush,blah.
IF there are any criminal charges filed against Slow Joe (NOT Hunter because he is not holding a gooberment office),AND Slow Joe was found to be innocent by a court,the alleged Justice Dept is obligated to file charges against the people who took Slow Joe to court and accused him of committing crimes while in office.
This really ain't all that complex to people who aren't blinded by jealousy.
@LMAO
I am going to quit responding to most of the knee-jerk comments about Trump that are posted by jerks,but the FACT is that Trump is facing paying his own legal bills because unlike Biden,HE does NOT hold public office. If he WERE holding down an elected position with the federal government,there would be teams of goobernment lawyers working for him free of charge to him.
Which is NOT the same thing as "free" because they would be billing the government.
Reverse class warfare is no prettier than class warfare.
The FACT is you hate Trump because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth,period.

@unite for individuality
BINGO!QuoteTHE PROSECUTION IS THE CRIME!
It would be several crimes,one of which would be slander,and the lawyers (EVEN Government lawyers) would normally take the accuser/accusers to court and file something like "malicious prosecution" charges against the accusers if the evidence was strong enough,and if not,they would still file charges to get the accussers to reimburse the government for the legal representatives of the falsely accused.
NO LAWYER works for free. Not even gooberment lawyers.
[/size]
You have failed AGAIN (yet) to explain how that makes the People of Florida responsible for his legal fees.
Then he"ll have plenty of evidence for a civil suit. That's how this is done. That's what will stop it in the future. That's what will hurt so damn bad they'll never do it again.
But making the People of Florida pay for his defense is damnwell wrong. Flat wrong.
@roamer_1
Yes,it is,and that is one reason Florida will be re-imbursed for the legal hours they spent defending him against bogus charges.
And if they don't,it's nobody's fault but their own.
@roamer_1
Why would I,when I never made that claim?
The bill in Florida that's being discussed is not going anywhere,
so the entire question is kind of a dead issue.
I would like to talk about prosecutions in general.
If a defendant is low income,
a public defender is assigned to the case - at taxpayer expense.
If a defendant is not low income, they have to pay for their own defense.
And when the prosecution is done in malice,
even when the defendant is not guilty,
they have still been forced to pay a penalty for a crime they did not do.
The process is the punishment.
I've suspected for a long time that
some prosecutions are done as an extortion racket,
forcing innocent defendants to
hire the services of a proscutor's fellow lawyers.
