Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday shrugged off Disney’s lawsuit against him as politically motivated, and said that it was time for the iconic company to stop enjoying favorable treatment in his state.
Glad to see the governor of one of the largest states in the U.S. use his time to relentlessly attack the state's largest employer for publicly criticizing his anti-gay bill, then whine when he gets outsmarted and sued for weaponizing the government over a free speech issue. This is the guy who wants to be president? He can't even run his own state. Spends all his time bullshitting about culture war issues, traveling out of state and overseas, going on a book tour for his own book, yet wants to ban other books, makes illegal anything related to gay or LGTBQ people, yet has no time to do anything about eroding shorelines, low minimum wage and high cost of living issues, homelessness, crime, etc. Dude is a clown. He makes Donald Trump look competent.
DeSantis is a liar. He claims he is just trying to put Disney on the same footing as it’s competitors. In fact, he is trying to hurt Disney by giving its competitors unfair advantages. Just as one example, currently no theme park that employs more than 1000 people has state inspectors inspect their attractions. One of the punitive actions sought by the vindictive governor was to except Disney from this law (while specifically allowing Busch parks (Sea World and Busch Gardens) and Universal (Comcast is too big for him to bully) to continue to inspect their own attractions and specifically to call for the Disney attractions to be shut down during inspections putting Disney at a significant disadvantage as against the competing parks. Worse, we would have to pay for those inspectors and their training (they are fair ride inspectors with no experience inspecting rides as technologically advanced as Disney’s).
So weird that a company that makes children content wants to groom kids. This is how it all started. They didn't like Ron banning sexualizing kids in school under 3rd grade. Disgusting.
And how exactly is using government to punish a private corporation for exercising its free speech which you happen to disagree with, NOT being political?!
Ha Ha I'm reading the (so far) 20+ comments people have written. I seem to have opened a can of worms here. All comments about Disney and that Don't Say Gay bill. I'm gonna assume ya'll just want to blather on about top news stories. Anyone one of you live here in FLORIDA?? We are SUFFERING with eroding shorelines, flooding, WAAAy too $$$ rent and home owner insurances, homelessness and all the crap being leaked into the aquifer (the water we drink, cook and bathe in). All we want is a responsible government that could find SOME KIND OF SOLUTIONS for these problems. Too much to ask? ???????? I don't think so. I didn't say anything negative about our governor except he should concentrate more effort into addressing these problems instead of what Disney pays and doesn't pay, etc. Now ya'll can go back to your usual bickering…. I'm going to eat my dinner.
Rick Scott: “What I hope is that cooler heads are going to prevail here,” Scott said Wednesday. “We’ve got to figure out how to solve this problem, how to make sure Disney continues to grow in our state, how Disney continues to invest and add more jobs.” Makes great sense to me. Bet the folks down in Florida are tired of this pointless battle. There needs to be some resolution/compromise made to end this conflict.
Keep fighting Ron! Don’t let the groomers, pedophiles and CRT racists at Disney indoctrinate our children into the perverted lgbt agenda and antiwhiteism.
DeSantis is appointing his own Board Members to entities beyond Disney World too! Yesterday, on "The Florida Channel" I heard that he appointed 5 personally- selected members to the board of Florida's 'New College', annnd that his appointees cancelled the impending tenure of 5 other board members, one prior member was removed from the board, and one resigned in protest. I live in Alachua County's city of Gainesville (home of the relatively-speaking ~ "Hippie University" UofF and democratic sanctuary of FL), where DeSantis is taking steps to seize control over our public utilities (GRU, Gainesville Regional Utilities)! I hope there are investigative reporters compiling records of his take-overs, and as fast as he's accomplishing them, because I feel passionately that ALL U.S. voters must see his fascist abuse of power a.s.a.p.!
Disney is on solid ground with 1st amendment free speech. What is funny is the SCOTUS decision in Citizen United was 5-4 conservative ruling will benefit Disney. What will be interesting is if the courts will roll back the retaliation which is the fruit of the poison of the original sin.
All eyes look at a new criminal ron desantis. A man stealing taxpayers money to fund Illegal human trafficking of illegal immigrants men women and children Across America only to make a political statement. Useing these men women and children. When you traffick human beings you brake the law it is a felony trafficking not just men and women but children omg the CHILDREN. TO THINKwhat thes kids had already gone through that is childabuse. Now to only use them for a political stunt. Now we here reports of Ron DeSantis drinking with under age girls when he was a teacher. Its my understanding thar has ben interviews of some of them and thay say thay remember him at these parties. And now we learn ron desantis was a Yung officer at Guantanamo in 2006 under standing he allowed torture to detainees. Thar has ben a report saying the detainees remember him atcthat time ron desantis denies the say that now wold remember that . I think thatvis BS that is like saying a woman got Raped in 2006 but forgot who did it by 2023. I dont think so when someone has ben made to suffer like that you dont forget EVER and i say this with my tragic memories from my childhood and im in my 50s now. So all of America knows the fact that ron DeSantis stolen 18.000 taxpayers dollars. Thay know that is against the law . The money could have ben used on homeless women that are single parents. Wiw wouldn't that be something a mom and here kid not on the streets or a dad and his kids. But no ron desantis used the money to traffick men women and 😑
Dude is going to owe them like a Billion dollars lol
This is going to the end for him ahahaha

Dedickless will now find out what woke really means.
Since is Disney a politician?
In 2021, Disney was granted a 570-million-dollar tax break by the present Florida government.
Say good bye to no state taxes Florida

So by Desantis rule, rich people should have to pay the same taxes as everyone else.
DeSantis is correct. He attacked Disney’s 1st Amendment rights for political reasons and he’ll lose in court.
Why wasn't he charged with fleeing the state that he swore to protect when covid became massive in Florida he ran like the coward he is.
Corruption at its finest. Desantis has proven he is a COWARD HE TURNED ON TRUMP HE TURNED ON FLORIDIANS AND WILL TURN ON THE USA
Desantis, needs a Mickey mouse suit, cause he is a RAT.. SHAME ON YOU GOV.. CROOKED PRESASENT, AND Gov .
Meatball Ron is Floridas fascist and absolute stain on America
Why is politic. You are in that business, you are a facisit like living with the nazi
De santis republican Dictator vote democrats
I find it hilarious how people are simping over a giant corporation like disney.
So sayeth the man who waged a political war against Disney for asserting their first amendment rights on behalf of their employees and guests.
🥴
So Disney is being called political?!? DeSantis is manufacturing his own no win scenario and getting it put live on the internet and TV.
Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave.

Some trumph member eroticised desantis to take on Disney, desantis thought he would top Disney but Disney is saying I will top desantis 🤣
This is dangerous
