Smoke and mirrors.
Hilarious stuff. I see exactly why Trump hates him. I don't like either but when Trump says you're stupid, and he's an expert, you really are. 😅
So here’s what’s going to happen, Meatball eventually wants to be a big boy president, so if he wants all that dark money from his big business donors he will take this only as far as his DONORS want him to take it, see a lot of people are diluted enough to think Meatball actually cares about the Evangelical/right, he doesn’t, he’s a political animal first and foremost. His Donors have money because they are good with money to say the least, and if Meatball jeopardizes the ability of his donors to make money, HE doesn’t get any money for his “ I’m gonna be a real boy!” Presidential Campain.
The real issue is how much fuckery is going on in Florida that’s being obfuscated from the public’s view?????
So glad don't live in Florida with that scumbag Desantis for my governor. They are a different breed down there for sure, maybe it's in the water.. Guy needs serious help..
I feel like I'm in the bizarro world.
Republicans now like professors, people who use Dr. who aren't medical doctors, and they're pro regulation?
I am a Florida resident and want to let you know how most of us feel about the Disney feud. First, how is going after Disney benefiting any Florida families and children? It is not! All the Governor had to do when they spoke out on legislation is tell them he didn’t care what they thought, pass the legislation and declare himself the winner of the battle. Instead, at tax payer expense, he started a feud with our largest employer, revenue generator and taxpayer. Worse, his press conference yesterday was disgusting. Amused by his stupid ideas for revenge he suggested housing convicted Florida criminals, which would include pedophiles next to the single
most visited (by families and children) destination in the world. This was vile and disgusting. It is time to act for the benefit of Floridians..the actions against Disney are NOT supported by the majority of Florida residents. The inspection of rides is such a waste. State inspectors don’t have the skills to inspect the technologically advanced…at what cost. Huge cost to Floridians.
I love our governor! 🇺🇸
I got tired of my old state. My children were groomed with all that transgender stuff, CRT was replacing US history, homeless were bathing in our neighborhood pond and the cost of living was higher than a cat's back!
I'm a free stater 🇺🇸
Kick Disney out let them go to New York the shit hole.
The term 'woke' really describes being informed and tolerant. We would much rather be woke, Gov. DeSantis, than wicked.
Desantis -Bad for Business. Bad for Florida.
Vote out Carolina Amesty in 2024.
Vote out Randy Fine.
One thing is certain, no CEO in his right mind will want to do business in Florida knowing the governor Will abuse his power to destroy your business if he wants to.
Governor Dick DeSantis is showing his tiny! I hope he costs Florida a lot! A more rotten state barely exists, unless maybe that's Kentucky or Tennessee.
Disney is on the way to going out of business.
It may take 10 years, but its not going to last now that pedophiles within and around it want to openly sexualize children in every way from movies, around their parks, in shool systems and everywhere else.
GET THE MOUSE OUT OF YOUR HOUSE…
Sounds like Desantis and his people are idiots and now they want a do over. Disantis people gave him the OK to sign off on the this and he agreed to that and signed it into law. This isn't a game, but he is complaining like it is. If he couldn't see that coming, I'm not sure if he should be the Governor much less the President. He is now trying to undo the new replacement for Reedy Creek which it was his idea to which would make two districts undone by Desantis in less than a year. What has he accomplished during this time? Is this even legal?
He’s is just dumb and stupid. He power trips to cover his dumb and stupid
Just Trumps Plan to make sure RON won't win in 2024, Making sure ppl hate him for this.
All of the unnecessary Florida tax payers are spending on this legal battle. Over a company having it’s own opinion. What happened to limited government and oversight? When new leadership eventually take over Florida and come after your guns remember y’all have them this power.
DeSantis looks like another "inevitanble candidate" who flames out even before the primaries are over. He was an obscure congressman who not only made no impact on legislation but failed to make the personal relationships with GOP figures that would have led to endorsements now. He won the governorship over a weak and flawed candidate who may yet be indicted. He has had some far right wins in the Florida legislature, which consists of far right and venal Republicans who owe their seats to heavy gerrymandering. His far right stance has garnered a lot of attention and even some support in formerly Confederate states, but may have little impact outside them. Cynical donors have cut back on their donations and few politicians, even within Florida, have endorsed him. He is term-limited as governor and may find himself out of office in two years and certainly not residing in the White House.
Disney isn’t worried about a guy who wears Dallas Cowboy cheerleading boots. They’ll be around after he’s long gone.
Another selfown by unAmerican fascist RWer.
Next thing you know, he will be legislating new laws that require the immediate arrest of Donald Duck for indecency. Just think about what that anthropomorphic duck has gotten away with for all these years!
At least now we know for sure that whoever runs against Desantis actually will have funding.
Several years ago some had speculated, when Disney announced a shift of some staff to Florida, that Disney might move a large part of its operations out of California to Florida. I think that idea is dead now. Thanks Ron.
On another matter – notice how very few high level Republicans are running to jump to the head of the MAGA inspired "Lets kill Anheuser-Busch" parade. Could it be because of the more than $2,000,000 BUD gave the Republicans for 2022?
DeSantis fight with Disney is the death of his political career. I'm 66 and have loved Disney since I was a small child. I never even heard of this DeSantis idiot until a year or 2 ago. Every single generation love Disney more than DeSantis. He needs to go away!
Hey DeSantis! Why don't you pick on someone your own size? Like Pound Puppies!
Disney was there before DeSantis was born and will be there long after.
The MOUSE isn't taking the poison cheese DeSATAN is famous for. NO SALE.
I am Ron DeSantis the new king of reedy creek.
If Disney decides to close the amusement park for the summer, there goes the tourist season, and Florida's mini trump will disappear. Best governor money can buy.
Naturally, the right wing hates democracy and the constitution. Especially since it would prevent laws passed that would only effect Disney. The enemy within, the neo Nazi Republican party.
The state can’t do anything. They signed a legally BINDING contract. You can’t pass legislation in a state to void a contract. That’s against federal law under Article I, section 10, clause 1 of the US constitution
DeSantis will Never Blink!
I'm in Texas, I would to take my kids to Disney one day. Why does Desantis hate Disney so much?
I love DeSantis. As a Floridian Disney shouldn’t have gone woke. There’s plenty of families who don’t want that woke garbage.
This is truly such a terrible scenario. The government will not stop in to protect consumers or workers from corrupt business practices but are more than happy to retaliate against their state’s largest employer over a minor political disagreement. One of the dumbest hills a governor has chosen to die on.
For now he’s in Japan. Supposedly not running for president.
I remember when Florida was nothing but beaches. To chase down the rat that made Florida great is wrong… Disney does it right. Leave them alone you bullies.
Funny, Republicans support corporations putting their millions into forcing legislation (Citizens United), but when a corporation simply stands up for a slice of US citizens that are being vilified for political gain, Republicans lose their minds. Republicans, you are the Gold Standard of Hypocrisy in US politics. Astoundingly negative and anti-democratic.
Not a good report, do better!
Disney net worth as of April 25, 2023 is $182.1B. I know one thing. With pockets that deep It's a loosing battle. Sad to see you go you lying fascist Diesantis
I think what DeSantis is showing companies is to not have an opinion that runs afoul of his or there there will be punitive measures taken.
Doesn’t seem very conservative to target and punish business for exercising their 1A right but looks lien this is where the left and right are right now. You have to agree with them of risk cancellation. Sad state of affairs I think
