The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.

DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:

...

The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia (R), would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”

Bro, what the fuck is up with Trump's face? Has his makeup gotten even worse?

I think he's on Ozempic, so he's basically starving to death slowly.

Being satisfied with small meals isn't "starving to death slowly". If you're not an Olympic athlete or marathon runner, you can survive on 1800-2400 calories a day just fine.

I'm talking about what it physiologically does to your body, but thanks for being ignorant.

Pls elaborate, this seems interesting.

It's been all over the news lately, but this is the first result that still talked about the mechanism a little: https://www.oswalddigestiveclinic.com/semaglutide-ozempic-5-possible-gut-issues-and-why-it-happens

It indirectly slows your guts down because it's one of the signals in digestion. To the point where few are having gut paralysis. In general, if someone is struggling with it, it's because they don't get hungry at a normal pace and eating more feels like gagging it down ontop of their previous meal. Nice when you need to shed a few pounds, but annoying to maintain a weight if it's not even worse. Not that everyone struggles on it, it's just the downsides suuuck if they apply.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
