DeSantis' gambling pact allows a Trump Casino in Miami.

[hay rick]

The Florida legislature is reconvening this week for a special session for the sole purpose of considering the 30-year gambling pact DeSantis negotiated with the Seminole tribe. The headline news is that the pact would legalize sports betting and guarantee at least $500 million a year in revenue for the state in the first 5 years. The pact also has a series of special provisions related to just Broward and Miami-Dade counties that have the effect of allowing Trump to establish gambling operations at his Doral property.

Eric Trump was talking about this in the last year but has been quiet lately. Somebody told him to STFU?

1. The Democrtas need to focus on Desantis

Even if he does nto run for president, he is an example of everything wrong with Trump. Start the propagande engine now, not like you do not have 60 a day worth of dead bodies to film, and lots of grieving relatives.

10. I agree with getting rid of DeSantis

But I’m confused about the casinos. It says the Seminole Trimble is negotiating a 30 year contract. Trump wants one on his personal property? I guess it two separate things.

2. How many casinos would this make?

they say the house always wins, but not in Donald's case. The state won't see any money, and neither will the house.

5. It's a bit like

the conservation of energy principle.

6. The Trump family did very well by his bankruptcies.

They siphoned off a lot of money via consulting fees, licensing fees, and inflated salaries. Shareholders, bondholders, and contractors were the ones that got screwed.

9. Thanks for reminding me that some people consider bankruptcy to be a successful

business model.

[Ilsa]

13. They are hoping the contractors' memories of going broke will

skip a generation so they can screw over the next generation.

15. Plus it's new territory.

People in Atlantic City would be more wary.

8. Launder money, actually.

all the Russians in So. Fla. will be delighted, and the trump family will have revenue.

7. Got to get that money laundry up and running. Too much dirty cash laying around

11. My thoughts, exactly. Another Russian Laundromat. nt

12. Hang on for a second...

Trump bankrupted three money printing plants already...and he wants ANOTHER one?

14. Apparently, Rhonda Santis is openly flirting with Trump.

16. His voter suppression bill served no purpose other than kissing Trump's ass.

Trump won the state easily, Florida was one of the first states to finish their count, and there were no lawsuits. DeSantis patted himself on the back at the time. Soon after, Trump amped up his complaints about "voter fraud" and DeSantis jumped on the voter suppression train, advocating for SB 90.
