Nothin says "Welcome to America!" like being kidnapped by a wannabe dictator and then filing a lawsuit against on of their conspirators.
Specifically the part about suing one of the conspirators instead of the actual guy in power who did the thing.
From OP's summary text, emphasis added:
I understand not clicking through to read the article, but c'mon now, is the summary too much to ask?
Pretty sure the courts in Florida have also already ruled that what DeSantis did (taking money that was ringfenced for dealing with migrants in Florida and paying his friend's charter airline to fly migrants from Texas to Massachusetts) was illegal and a misappropriation of taxpayer funds.
You can still sue civilly over something that's already been tried criminally, it makes suing even easier
What’s the over/under on anything actually being done about it?
So unlikely that even the sleaziest backroom bookies aren't taking bets 😮💨
god bless america
A country so modern its currency references bronze age superstition!
Still if people/company that conspire with him start to get sue they might stop helping him real fast rightwing are not known for their courage or loyalty once shit begin hitting the fan
Yeah we'll see how the Q Cucks Clan likes a taste of their own medicine lol
Maybe if DeSantis (and Abbott) make the USA a shitty enough place to live, people will stop wanting to go there?
It's already happening. Canada just had to tighten the screws on visas from Mexico because Mexicans are skipping America and coming right to Canada at a volume that is apparently concerning the Feds lol

Only if the CIA and other of the worst parts of the US government also stop fucking with South and Central America.
They're not coming because Florida and Texas are wonderful. They're coming because US meddling destroyed their countries of origin.
