The Florida Senate passed legislation late Wednesday that would get rid of a development agreement between Walt Disney World and its special district signed before the district’s board was replaced with government appointees, further escalating Florida Republicans’ feud with Disney despite the company filing a lawsuit over those attacks hours earlier.

Go Ron DeSantis and chase the evil out!!!!!! No matter what it takes!!!! Even if our children will not know (PEDOLAND) Disney but at least boys can be boys and girls can be girls!!!! And they will be happy!!!! I am with you! God gives you strength to beat that evil 🙏🙌🙏
Looking forward to Disney shinning in triumph. Righting is on the wall.
There is more to what is going on.. there is always two sides to the story…..
Disney should just pack up and move to California ..! Problem solved for everyone. Good luck and Godspeed!
Get that ole DeSatan and his repuklican cronies Disney!
Disney for Governor! !
Ron we’re are trump taxes ?????? Does he pay his taxes in Florida ???
When you go woke! You go broke!
Republicans have gone crazy, causing many many Republicans to switch votes to Democrats, because of Trump and mini-Trump (Desantis). (Democrats got my vote last year (after 52 years of voting Republican (Except for Jimmy Carter ) and Democrats will get it every year until Trump and MAGA Republicans are voted out.
This is the stupidest thing you can do Republicans, Forbes and Christian activist. I don't care if you get bankruptcy for this. Your a disgrace as the People of America.
Hopefully a right winger can plant a special present at Disney during LGBTQ day. Everyone will have a blast if that happens. Go right
Disney is “entitled”. Why can’t they operate like other theme parks in Orlando?
Ha. Republicans are dumb. They are allergic to facts. Break out in hives when they hear one.
Go Disney
Since when do laws apply retroactively? Pretty sure that’s unconstitutional, much like everything DeSantis does.
Good for Florida
The right is falling apart. No russian troll or maga dope can stop it. Love to see it.
Is it an attack or is it just taking away their special privileges? Why do they think they're entitled to special privileges?
Good disney thought they were above the law and spoke out about the dont say gay bill which was bullshit. Nowhere in that bill did it have anything to do with not saying gay . The bill was not to allow schools and teachers to talk about sex or anything like that below the 3rd grade but democrats of course lying about it and the media to make out like republican politicians are homophobs when im reality it’s the democrats themselves with all the hate in their hearts
DeSantis kept Disney open during the china flu. Florida residents keep Disney running and now they want to jack up their prices and get political and take away parental rights.
😶 I think hes pulling on the wrong mouses tail….
…I mean what if Disney just… …pulls out? Disaster for the state.
For 60 years Disney has enjoyed regulatory autonomy giving them an unfair advantage against competitors like Universal Studios.
This should have been done decades ago when the original contract ran out.
Now they are going to have to compete on a more level playing field.
Leave Mickey alone! DeSantis already proved his point!
DeSantis' "war" on Disney Wokeism is a war on the New World Order. Go get 'em Ron! BTW: What the Florida legislature giveth it can take away by a simple majority. Tell Disney to pound sand or go back to Commiefornia from whence they came!
😂 good luck fools. State's leader, legislators elected to do the resident's business. Legally repealed a gift given to a man long dead, and his company, now committing suicide by stupidity. Waste not, want not means nothing. Evil loses . . . again.
DISNEY IS A SICK AND PERVY PLACE. THEY ARE IDIOTS TO CHOOSE POLITICS OVER THEIR TRUE CUSTOMER BASE, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT ABCDELQFU. Stop all of your business with everyone else, AND STRICTLY CATER TO the alphabet soup, YOU WILL GO BROKE. Walt Disney was entertainment, not indoctrination. NOW 90% OF NORMAL CHILDREN AND ADULTS WILL NEVER GET TO SEE THE DISNEY WE KNEW AS THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH IS NOW THE SADDEST PLACE ON EARTH. GO WOKE UP AND GO BROKE. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT TO FIGURE THIS OUT. JUST MORALLY INEPT. YOU CAN'T SAVE ONE AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYONE ELSE. THAT IS INSANITY.
Its laughable when Democrats criticize DeSantis when their own party routinely bullies and intimidates corporations if they didn't go along with the Dem agendas.
Case in point, the Major of Boston ran Chick-fil-A out because he disagreed with the owner's religious beliefs.
Or the time AOC ran Amazon out of New York because she disagreed with the tax incentives.
Obama was the biggest bullying thug I have ever seen.
Ron, tell Disney to leave the State. And Florida will turn that area into a wonderful Christian park with better food and tours and rides for families who respect and worship God. And without any private government or police. Psalm 59:16/Romans 8:31.
My Money is on the Mouse
Disney's abuse of it's inner workings and entitlement behavior over Floridians has gone on long enough. They should of just kept ripping people off and not gotten involved in politics and this ridiculous culture decay and no one would even have noticed all the entitlement and tax breaks they where getting away with..
You know when I think of Ron I think of “competency.”
😂I’m so happy they’re doing this!..Republicans will not hold office ever again!!!😂
The more they do the higher the turnout will be to voting against republicans!!!😂
Let’s go! Keep it coming!!😂
We all need to remember that behind the innocent looking mouse there is the Chinese Communist Party who’s got their slimy hands in the Disney pot
American good citizen are defending the Democracy the right thing to do with our children education Disneyland is a criminal company that try to corrupt our education the correct way of education the people around the world do not want Disney any more
Maybe Disney should close on the weekends. Employees don't get paid, hotels and restaurants don't have business.
disney has 666 in their logo just like wef
Interesting view into the cloak and daggers of Disney v State politics..
Hey, is this a fascist gone wild, Ron DeSantis that is.😢
Disney needs to be taken down. The only thing (((Disney))) is interested in doing is grooming young children, and (((Disney))) have been doing that for decades. Initially they did so subliminaly , no they are doing so overtly.
(((Disney))) is as evil as it gets.
Florida is one F’ed up fascist state that will never see a cent of my vacation dollars ! Desantis is a malignant narcissist
It’s funny when I saw the cover… It’s like human fighting with Cartoons.. ( Double meanings)….just like in the Disney Cartoons that we grew up with..
This is how stupid the R’s are. Do you know how this looks to the rest of the Country when you pick fights over Abortion and Fights with trans people and Mickey Mouse??? First off if you are so religious abortion will never effect you because of your beliefs so making a woman bring a baby in this world that has been raped or involved incest or health of the Mother is absolutely insane. Then you mess with Disney a company as American as Apple pie. Some sawed off 5’7” little Dego Governor thinks he is going to come up North and spread his BS 😂 we will send him back to Florida with a toe tag for his political career.

Florida is not a “free state”…..you can’t get an abortion, you have no free speech, can’t say gay and now Disney (if you don’t like Disney, just don’t visit their establishment then). It’s going to be like Russia here in Florida soon. This man is wasting tax payers money on this foolishness. Free speech means you can disagree or agree with anyone, but nooooo…if you disagree with DeSatan he will retaliate. Why go after Disney for using their 1st amendment rights. Why not tackle things like, why is rent and homes so expensive here, why can’t teachers, nurses etc afford to find a home, now they have to leave the state to try to find a reasonable priced home. I tell you what he has done, he has made it harder for actual home owners to sue their insurance companies, because they are not paying for repairs. He has ban books, so he is going to make Florida children as dumb as he is. I can’t believe people voted for this trump wanna-be. I hope Disney sue the pants off of him.
Remember, Ron DickSantis hired id me to deny Americans of their jobs, unemployment, and welfare, by labeling them not humans. When Hitler did this, what did America do?
Something is VERY FISHY with this comment section….
DeSantis is a joke Gov
2:24 It's called, Parental Rights in Education. So stop repeating the misinformation.
I would think such bravado would inspire the people that are already supporters, but how about those just recently getting acquainted?
And he wants America to trust him to run the country. How is it that a state governor is at war with the 2nd largest employer in his state? Are you kidding me. This is not a fight a conservative republican should ever engage in!! This is horrible.
