"Small Government" republicans sure do like telling other people what they can and can't do.
By "small government" they just mean "dictatorship".
Democrats seem to like it pretty well, too.
F**k both of them we need a new party
@@darriuscole8544
Like what?
@@darriuscole8544 < whatever silly little troll 🤣
I've never liked Disney, but Ron DeSantis has me cheering for them. They have the law on their side, and they're on the right side of history. I hope they sue him so bad he's forced to stop harassing minorities.
😎😎😎😎😎🥲🥲🤠🤠🤠
LOL hahahaha
Maybe then Disney can give their employees a family healthcare plan they can afford and still pay their 100s of executives the outrageous salaries they get .
Disney's gonna lose!!
Who doesn’t like Disney? Are you bah hum bug? Scrooge!
Iger is a sophisticated and shrewd businessman. DeSantis is a political hack and a lightweight. Bet on Iger and Disney on this one.
The fact that he came back from retirement to deal with this is giving Clint Eastwood vibes
Bet on the Supreme Court , which is incidentally conservative.
I’m betting on him all the way!

Meanwhile in Florida, we're suffering from a property insurance crisis where many homeowners are being dropped or seeing their premiums skyrocket while this governor is going to war against one the state's largest employers....Insanity!
Heartbreaking
Blame your neighbors who voted for him. It couldn't have been clearer of who and what he is.
Very curious to see what happens with this, it’s not like y’all are going to have less floods and hurricanes in the future.
Might be seeing a lot of people move out of Florida once we stop subsidizing them.
Blame the insurance companies! We costs them millions but they dropped us. Not the Governor
Are you really trying to relate insurance premiums rising to the governors actions? First premiums have been going up nationwide and second what would you have any governor do to interfere with a private business and it’s customers? Funny how when it effects you all of a sudden the “it’s a private business” comments stop.
Normally, I hate big Corporations but in DeSatan's, the fascist, I'm rooting for Disney.
Gerrymandering is the only reason Ron is Governor.
Stfu, no you don’t. You love that Disney is woke lol!
DeSatan? Don't you mean Rhonda Santis? It's spelled like it sounds.
💯% Facts
@@keving8006: I think of him as Wrong DeSatan.
You can't gerrymander a statewide election. Though, if you mean that gerrymandering depresses minority-party turnout in non-competitive districts, you probably have a point.
Best comment I have read about this matter - "I never thought Mickey would sue Dumbo".
Make bumper sticker and get rich, @ralphanderson8052. "Can't Hurt a Mouse". "Micky vs Dumbo". "Disney vs Castro". "Desantards For Presidunces". Make money and have fun with it.
Ha it's so appropriate that the elephant's name is Dumbo in this case.😂
(Although I do love the actual Dumbo.)
@@curiousnerdkitteh Dumbo is a beloved cartoon character, DeSantis is a hateful (and poorly animated) cartoon character.
@@gringopaul3423 😉 😅

Disney literally sued out of self defense here. DeSantis made it clear, publicly, that what he did was retaliation.
It's a blatant violation of the 1st amendment.
Actually there are a few amendments that he's violating with these retaliatory moves of his. It's Unconstitutional for him to try and Invalidate a Private Company's contract.That's one of those pesky amendments that he doesn't seem to like too. Seems like the only ones Republicans tend to like is the 2nd, the 5th and the 1st(although this one only when someone is saying something they like 😏) 🤬😈 Bunch of Hypocrites.
@@TheGoofy1932 that's because those are the only amendments they know.
😅😅😅😅😅
I didn't understand the commentator saying Disney suing DeSantis for his unconstitutional actions somehow made them the aggressors. Weird take.
I hope to GOD that Disney prevails for all our sakes and knocks DeSantis off his high horse 😢
Totally agreed
If they move out Florida is done
Thank you.
I hope Disney gets destroyed
@@toneyingram732 They cannot. The Florida weather allows them to operate 365 days with big crowds. Both parties went to extreme...whether you like it or not, kids should be addressed as boys and girls...not something else. Also, Desantis should focus on governance than disney alone.
What a waste of our state taxes to have DesanTard, instead of focusing on matters that will benefit Florida, instead he chooses to pick on a mouse.
The lawyers who are working along Meatball Ron are getting paid each $750+/hour from taxpayer's money. ... And they say, the poor fleece the system.
Nice to see the Democrats now pulling for corporate greed. 😮
Actually, the Oversight Committee is raising Disney's taxes to pay for the lawsuit... so I wouldn't worry about that too much.
@@SomeGuyFromUtah But that's ONLY if they win the lawsuit; and it doesn't look good for DeSantis. Because of that little thing that Republicans pushed so hard to get through -- Citizens United.
And when DeSantis loses, Floridians will be liable for all of the court costs AND Disney's lawyers, who make thousands of dollars and hour -- not to mention any settlement that Florida would legally obliged to pay to Disney.
Why do liberals always come up with the stupidest nicksnames for people they hate? Lmao
I never thought I’d be on the side of a massive corporation
crazy what the woke mind virus does to people huh? you also probably supported the massive pharmaceutical corporations during the pandemic too.
Yeah because you're brainwashed your common sense is overcome by your politics.
That's when you know that DeSantis screwed up.
right is right....no matter who or what you are.
Indeed. If DeSantis is willing to step on Disney to get his way then he will have no reservations of crushing whoever else stands in his way to gain power.
I wish Disney every success in their law suit against DeSanctimonious.
Desantis- go be authoritarian in a different country. I heard Russia is hiring.
DeSantis severely overestimated his power here. There is no scenario in which he would win in a lawsuit against Disney
Good thing he is not part of the Florida lawsuit then 👍
Disney is clearly suing because they've been attacked. I don't see how anyone of fair, sane mind can hold that against them.
I’m born and raised in Florida, I left Florida in 2008. I’m all on Disney side and Disney suing who they voted for?!🙄CLOWNS!
Elderly transplants from the flyovers. The state may as well be sponsored by freedent and bengay at this point.
@@verticalfracture LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
As a Florida residents we are supporting Disney over DeSantis.
I'm with TOP, as a native Floridian, I'm supporting Disney. Disney has done so much for our state compared to what DeSantis has done/is doing. Just one example is that if Reedy Creek stops paying for at least 3 counties services like infrastructure and first res ponders, those counties will have to come up with a lot of money to pay for things they didn't have to before.
DISNEY STRONG💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
It's time Disney left that state, remove all jobs banned residents of Florida from ever working at new location, and file a suit looking for Florida tax payers to cover every cent of relocation.
@@patrickmoir4068 thanks....stick it to the residents that didnt vote duhsantass into office? What state do you live in, perhaps you need visitors so you can jump on the antiStateimmigrant laws.
From Britain, it's indicative of how wrong your judicial system is when you have to ask 'Who is the Judge?' If Judges were as impartial as they ought to be, that question should never arise.
Indeed. Companies and organizations will often choose which district to file a lawsuit in so they can get a certain judge to hear a case.
Aggreed but every judge including those in Britan do have some bias every human has bias
If I was a Florida taxpayer I would be really ticked off. This case is going to cost you a fortune and you're going to lose it.

They way the governor, the legislature and the new board has reacted to Disney’s stated position on a bill has been insane and not in the benefit of Floridians. I can only imagine the consequences that their insane actions will have not only on Disney’s future investment decisions in Florida, but as also those of any other business here and those that may consider investing or locating in Florida in the future. Floridians will suffer..all because the governor got his overly inflated ego bruised.
The bill is called, "Parental Rights and Education Act." The "insane action" of not permitting transgenderism taught in school will only mean that parents who want their children to be introduced to the wonderful world of depravity can go to a different state or do it in their own home. It would be a red flag to me if a company did not want to invest in Florida because the have anti-depravity laws.
@@deltaphilip8611 It's so sad you live in a world defined by MAGA delusion.
@@deltaphilip8611 Still Disney has the right to their own opinion without retaliation from a government official. That is against the 1st amendment.
@@deltaphilip8611 just as you have a right to your bigoted and disgusting opinion, so does Disney. First amendment protects us all. Btw, I hope Disney eventually moves out of Florida, there are many states who would welcome them.
@@deltaphilip8611 If DeSantis is soooo for protecting children, why not ban kids from going to Catholic Churches? Even though I believe you should wait til around puberty to educate youth about their bodies, I don't believe DeSantis has the interest of protecting kids. I haven't heard of a single child being touched by a drag queen but Republicans are on a mission to protect kids from Drag Shows, all the while, Catholic priests are still molesting children in 2023 but Republicans have done nothing to protect those children. 25k known cases of children being molested by Catholic priests, so the actual is probably above 100k. Where's the outrage? Where's the legislation to protect children from CHURCH?!
Why did Desantis sign the new district into law if he was going to have a huge problem with it? Didn't Destantis and his layers read and consider the new district proposal before Desantis signed it? Was the desolution of the new district even legal? Desantis shouldn't be governor of Florida much less president.
DeS and his cronies obviously don't think anything through. He's slimy and can't imagine how someone so stupid and hateful made it through any college.
That would require republicans to be able to read. Why do you think they want to ban books?
Neither Wrong DeSatan nor any of his dime store counter-jumpers bothered to go to the meeting that the Reedy Creek board advertised and convened to discuss future plans. When your only concern is bs culture wars, you actually miss important things.

I think that's the problem here DeSantis does what he wants, they changed the rule on him running for President.

DeSantis is exactly one Disney documentary away from becoming a political nonperson
Lol. DeWho?

Lets hope, Tyrant Ron is the Rebirth of Adolph Hitler, burning books, usurping private Property. Think about this People the Government led by Adolph Ron is trying to steal Private property of a public company for speaking Yes for speaking. He then marginalized black districts in Miami Dade by surrounding said districts with Caucasian people to dilute the black vote, talk about stealing elections, go figure!
Hey, I'm not even a lawyer and I saw this as a "...textbook case..." of the government stifling Disney's speech.
Do you know who is paying for this lawsuit? Floridians. Their taxes will pay for the attorneys for the State and those who buy Disney products will be paying for Disney's attorneys.
And IF Disney wins, the taxpayers will be paying for the Disney lawyers. Thanks DeSantis.
Do you know who put DeSantis as manager of Florida tax money? Floridians.
One can see destructive management here
Florida will win the day. Need to read the constitution.
Feel for you guys. Disney can out spend Florda forever. Your tax paying dollars so needed elsewhere. Disney has been great to the state!!
... not to mention the constitution clearly states that these are individual rights, not the rights of a corporation. Chapek had the personal right to say whatever he wanted. He didn't stop and think about the repercussions of what he said. And the company is paying the price. Which arguably, they should've been paying all along, just like any other business in the state. Now the laws enacted and they have lost their power. They're going to die on that sword. Desantis can seize the entire property and Disney couldn't do a thing to stop him. I hope he puts them out of business there in that state. Sells it to universal studios for a dollar and then makes it something far better than Disney ever could.
Not sure how the rest of "the public" is responding, but personally I am hoping that Disney wipes the floor with Desantis and the state of Florida. Anybody who's paying attention knows that Desantis started the fight; Disney's just going to end it.
re: "Desantis started the fight; Disney's just going to end it." that's a bingo...
All that had to happen is that both Trump AND the democrats run national ads showing what Ronda Santis said about punishing Disney and he is toast.
Majority of Floridians are 100% DISNEY!!!
Never f**k with the Mouse! Those who do learn the hard way that the Mouse fights to win and will bury DeSantis.
How are the tax payers of Florida OK with there money going down the drain like this?
I think bob Iger should pull Disney out of Florida and screw there economy forever!
You get em, BOB!
Will Desantis use taxpayers money to pay for the money he gets sued for?
Of course.
Yes and he's making himself exempt from sunshine laws.
The governor office is being sued. So yes. Just like Disney the corporation is suing. It’s 2 entities basically suing each other and shield by their office or corporation
@@YaBoyRockLee Are you saying Disney is using tax payers money to sue Desantis?
Of course he will, we are his personal ATM!!
Irregardless of the final outcome, Ron Desantis will be so hated and held in such vile contempt that he won't be able to show his face in public !!! Florida is Disney Ron !!! Damn !!! I have no doubt Disney will persevere in the end. If Meatball appeals he better get some body armor and a tank to drive !!!
This is retaliation. No excuse for that. I hope you sue him for millions. !!!!
Bob Iger is going to wipe the floor with them lol

Disney's been in Florida 50 years, Desantis is currently only in office for 8 years. this is a classic tale of David V. Goliath, only the roles are REVERSED cause although Ron "thinks" he's playing the role of David, he's actually Goliath (and is about to be "slayed").
Fight the good fight, Bob and Disney…it’s what you are fighting for versus what these cruel gaslighters are fighting against (human dignity, rights and freedom for all humans to live their best lives).
Our governor needs to prioritize his duties to his constituents vs his political wants/needs. This policy doesent help the residents in the least bit. There are too many other pressing issues to list that cost every resident thousands of dollars annually through his mismanagement and hair brained policies. Alls he's done is continued Floridas sad history of government corruption and mismanagement. His "Free Florida" moniker is an insult to its residents because Florida has quickly shifted from one of the cheaper states to live in to just the opposite under his tenure. And he sadly believes he could be our next president. Stop drinking the kool aid, it's bad for your wallet.
Amen
I know people who have a condo in Estero. No electricity, water or plumbing, since Ian. That's 8 months and now DeSantis has chased out all the immigrants, so the reconstruction will never get done.
Never poke a wounded mouse with a stick.
I support Disney's lawsuit against the state of Floridah. DeSantis is a mean and vicious governor, and he is absolutely wrong-headed on this matter.
Do it, Disney!
I can't wait for Disney to make the next animated villain in the likeness of DeSantis. Talk about govt overreach and bullying.
If Disney moved to another state if would sink central florida and a multitude of other businesses..
I would love it if Disney 'suggested' that they are 'considering' moving to another state where they are not being bullied and harasser, whether they mean it or not...Causing Florida to lose 100's of million in taxes, tens of thousands of not only jobs directly working for Disney at the theme park, but all the subsidiary companies who have contracts with Disney to literally go under. Disney should take out ads!
I was thinking the same thing. If Disney threatens to take their business elsewhere, the state of Florida will collapse and hopefully other politicians will get the idea of minding their own business and leaving ppl alone.
Seriously. You think they can just pack up that park and move?
@@TygerBleuToo Sorry for not being clear enough. I was just suggesting that Disney 'suggest' that it would 'consider' moving, not they really move.
Florida will lose BILLIONS……. Disney is biggest employer, revenue alone in Billions……..he is such a child trying to play a big boy game, that no big would take on!
If it come down to t vs d , and I HAD. To vote for one, 🤮 I would vote for t ! And I’m a big time democrat so that tells you how dislike d is here!
Disney mascot is a mouse, GOP mascot is an elephant. Life imitates art.
I get it. Nice analogy.
The Disney lawyers who came up with this move should immediately be enshrined in the American Bar Association's Hall of Fame. If that doesn't yet exist, create it and it should be named for them, too. They should never have to pay for a meal or a drink for the rest of their lives if another lawyer is within a mile of them. Many people like to dump on lawyers and, to be fair, sometimes it's certainly deserved, but the lawyers who came up with this FU to Rhonda Santass are heroes who should be feted by every law school in the land.
😂 or How about a Presidential Medal of Freedom award?
Lawyers are scum of the earth. I pray hell exist so they can burn there forever.
Agreed. Disney’s legal team is the best of the best. Meatball head doesn’t have a chance of winning. He’s doing all the talking and giving evidence of targeting Disney, and the legal team is keeping quiet letting him. 😂
@@mindyschocolateRhonda doesn't know how to stop talking and just listen. I would love to see him being read his Miranda Rights.
@@daledickey8400 There are going to be drag queens going by "Rhonda Santis" in the near future, if not already.
This is nothing more than political retaliation. This is what Desantis is doing this due to what WDW said about the Parental Rights bill, and he did not like it, and he then again is acting like a child. Remember this if Disney was to leave this area of Florida. Florida would never recover, and all of the supportive businesses would fail and close up, and so many unemployed would hit the lines and loss of jobs in Florida. You also have to look at the hit the air travel to the area would take a huge hit, this again would in fact hurt sales tax revenue. It would hurt the air travel industry as well in the area.
Hell you have Univeral closing up Volcano bay due to lack of attendance and people to work there. Universal and SW both came to this area to compete with Disney and to get a piece of the pie.
No matter how obvious it is though that the law is on the side of Disney, it has been made clear to all that the Supreme Court is bought and paid for and could care less about the law. I'm rooting for the mouse, but Supreme Court ruling is more likely to go to the highest bidder or the one who keeps them in yacht cruises the longest.
Read Disney's lawsuit, its on Leonard French's youtube channel...
The Supreme Court would need to invalidate three sections of the United States constitution, and overturn Citizens United to side with Ron...
And if they considered that, every contract with every corporation could be thrown out by the government with no payment on the government side...
Not things corporate CEOs want to happen.
They are going to Federal Court with an Obama appointed judge. This has ZERO chance of getting to SCOTUS.
Using government power to suppress dissent is pretty much what the 50-ywar plan was *for*, after all.
Nothing supreme about this court.
Disney owns 4 cruise ships.
My Money is on the Mouse
lets go Disney!! you can win
I hate DeSantis but I am surprised that a Harvard Law graduate could be pushed off a table so easily. He just seems like a lunk head, can you graduate from Harvard Law and be a lunk head?
apparently
Rule of thumb, don't try to out lawyer Disney, because Disney will destroy you. They have the best lawyers, better knowledge of state/national/world law, and the resources to run you to the ground while not even taking a dent. Their lawyers from top law schools spend their entire time looking over every single aspect of the law to make sure Disney abides by every piece of it so Disney can a) come out on top, and b) can't be sued. So yeah, DeSantis is countersuing, but he has nothing, where all the reasons he stated was already disproven.
And they're right!!
Use Florida lawyers not California.

Meatball Ron is going to LOSE.
When are journalists everywhere going to say that apparently the Villages ( predominantly white affluent retirement community) as well as the Daytona Speedway both allegedly have the same or similar special designation as Disney?
Journalists, pfft. Those people are mere reporters who don't even get the back room staff to do the basics.
I think that came up a bit when this all first blew up last year, but those areas are not going to be touched by the Florida Lege because of their Republican ties.
While Disney is the "Plaintiff" in this case calling them the "aggessor" is overstating it a bit. This is not dissimilar to the case of the homeless man being attacked with bear spray in the middle of the night and then confronting the attacker with an aluminum pipe the next day. Who's the agressor here?
Well in that case the Homeless Man became the aggressor although he was at first the victim. In Disney's case they are the victim in this entire thing but they've made an offensive move by suing. I think that's what is being talked about in the video. Disney firing back with a lawsuit is an aggressive action but it does not mean that they are overall the aggressor in the situation
Disney is Royalty 👑 🏰🇺🇸🗽. Ronda is a far right governor who has gone too far on everything! He will fall hard in all he does by the American people. America doesn’t like DeSantis at all!
I never would have thought that I'd be siding with Disney in a lawsuit, but I'm happy to see them taking on Deathsantis.
DeSantis bit off more than he can chew. Disney has more money and lawyers than some entire countries.😂😂😂😂
This has to be the lamest take down of a politician ever. Destroyed by a mouse!
I wouldn't spend a dime at Disney but I am rooting big time for a successful shutdown outcome from this despot man child!
DeSantis is acting like a chicken without a head. He's digging his own tomb. He may be loved in Florida, not by the majority of this Country according to the latest polls.
Not loved at all in Florida…. Voting him out!!
I keep hearing how smart this clown is but his actions show just the opposite. I guess it's a Florida smart thing. He's committed political suicide on the national level. Florida has similar arrangements with several thousand corporations/businesses going back 70 years and Destupidist singles one out for purely political gain. Focus on the problems in Florida, that should be your job.
He IS FAR FROM BEING LOVED IN FLORIDA…………FAR!!
@@MaginFlaBlueChoice But you keep voting for Big Brother MAGA politicians. Sad
Time to impeach DeSantis
Disney has money to hire the best lawyer in the USA. DeSantis can hire Walmarkt lawyer.Also DeSantis married at Disney sooo he sue Disney because they did not make him a Dinsey princess?
even the people that were in favor of the actions of DeSantis know it was retaliation because they've been celebrating that
Florida Taxpayers ought to ask who’s paying for all of Ronnie Dimento’s lawsuits. Oh! They are?😃
Iger was mostly quiet about FL’s intervention. I was upset but now I feel a little better knowing Iger had been planning to take on FL governor 😂 not that I will ever like Iger myself but I do admire his tactics. Keep your counteroffensive plan close to yourself and surprise your enemy. I am sure the previous board’s last minute action to keep power to Disney was also well orchestrated by Iger’s people.
Seriously, going after Disney in a legal battle isn't grabbing the tiger by the tail, it's shoving your hand in the tiger's mouth to try and grab something it's already eaten.
This is a big mess that could have easily been resolved by a sit-down with the leaders and a compromise reached. The first step in a conflict should always be diplomacy and an attempt to find peaceful compromise, not drawing of guns and ammo and declaring war.
Iger understands this, Desantis does not.
I, as one, am delighted Disney sued.
Being totally neutral on this issue, in my opinion DeSantis is totally in the wrong and the state of Florida is heading toward a massive lawsuit
Definitely with Disney on this one 😂 God help us all
Now we know exactly how much Extreme Evangelicals like Ron DeSantis care about "Free Speech" when it's anyone else's but their own.
Using the law against someone committing crimes, or slander, libel, and defamation of character against you is usually what lawyers do.
Attacking disney was a mistake on his part. He clearly said it was retribution, which is obviously illegal, and he was dumb enough to do it when he had plans for running for president. I'm not a big fan of disney, and for good reasons, but they are right here in the moral sense of the word and he is wrong. Attacking someone, a business or person, simply because they disagree with us on some subject is how children act, not adults. If a person can't take criticism, especially well thought out and articulated criticism, then that says a lot about them as a person and imho they shouldn't be allowed to have any authority over anyone else ever.
It seems DeSantis is dictating and changing many wellbeing and standards in Florida. It’s not a good sign to be a leader of our nation. He loves changing policies whether people like it or not as long it’s within his ideology and principles. So, many in Florida are protesting because they don’t want this kind of rulings.
Sooooo. True, he is anti-Christ down here!!!
Let's go Disney !!!!!!!!
Disney should leave and watch DeSantis lose millions of dollars.
DeSantis have to leave office one day and I doubt he is a saint. Without the powers of the state, how will private citizen DeSantis deal with Disney. The same is true for the lawmakers in the lawsuit and spearheading this movement.
Reporters have begun asking Ron about his time at Guantanamo Bay. I'm not convinced the timing is a coincidence.
Desantis will be long gone before Disney goes away. This is a huge mistake for Ronnie.
This is abuse of power - DeSantis is operating beyond the law. So, Disney should sue DeSantis himself, not just the governor's office.
Harvard Law, DeSantis HOW TF did he graduate ?
The mouse out Maneuvers the evil queen DeSantis again doesn't he know that's the premise of every Disney movie
Good job.
Desantis is about to learn a valuable lesson!
Have you ever noticed that Florida never has a positive or edifying news story...?
That's why politicians love that state. Plenty of gullible people.
Great for Disney!
The bill would ban discussing these issues in primary schools and restrict how they are discussed in other grades if they are deemed “not age-appropriate.” However, it does not specify what would be considered age-appropriate, or who decides. Any parent could sue their child’s school for compensation for alleged harm if they believe those discussions have occurred.
That’s the whole point. Make people so unwilling to trust public schools, that they won’t care if they get bulldozed.
And they don’t care how these laws may harm LGBT because they’re a minority.
Guess where DeSantis got married? Disney World 😂 he never thought it would get this far and that Disney would back down. Guess again Ronny boy.
He’s a fake and he’s not good at his job.

Actually Disney owes a trillion dollars in back taxes since 1968 over receiving special privileges to build epcot which was supposed to be an actual city where people would live. Those were legal requirements in a court case allowing Disney to own and govern themselves in 1968 on the contingency of making a city where people live. They have not met those requirements in almost 60 years of opportunity to do so. This will be mainstream in 6 months...... they have received billions of dollars in tax exemptions that they will be found liable for. Once again the media is behind on the true story.
And Florida has suffered horribly since then because of it? Hardly!
Disney should point out how business-UNfriendly the state of Floriduh has become - and point out that Floriduh's business environment is worse than their theme park operations in Japan, France, China and California
I feel sorry for those residents of Florida who did not vote for the politicians of Floriduh that use their positions in a self-serving manner.
Maybe somebody should remind the woke mob about the free speech law
Exactly, Disney speaking out against desantis and desantis going after them for it, is in direct violation of the 1st amendment
What's a woke mob? Oh that's right the maqat term for people being human beings to one another. Not scared little children still living with mommy full of hate and bigotry.
The woke mob already knows that. Someone needs to remind DeSantis we all got freedom of speech. He can’t decide what anyone can say.
Is beyond my understanding ; how DeSantis aligned himself ideologically with the Club Pulse mass shooter ... 😢 It did not cross my mind when he ran for Governor the 1st and 2nd time .
If he had said what we know now ; he would have not won either governor race .
Florida would be nothing without Disney. If Disney chose Alabama; Alabama would be the tourist destination...
Unfortunately in Florida the law doesn't matter. The law said that Florida government officials that run for federal office must resign their office. So the legislature reminded the law for DeSantis.
Citizen's United is biting DeSantis in the butt.
It is ironic that I think that DeSantis has a really good point. Too many local, state, and federal governments have literally bent over and given large corporations anything they want to get them to locate in their area.
Also, DeSantis (and his Republican cohorts) may be giving political control of the state to the Democrats.
Disney has a LOT of money. They (probably) have more rabid supporters than all the other organizations combined.
Finally, Disney has been an economic bohemith for over five decades. They didn't get to this position by being nice.
The mouse roars.
You guys should pay the clips of DeSantis specifically saying he’s going to go after Disney for there speech. Your coverage makes it seem as if Disney doesn’t objectively have a slam dunk case.
Disney has the best lawyers in the game. It's a lose lose battle for Florida
Where are the jobs coming from if not from Disney? What has DeSantis done beside removing books from school shelfs?
Florida will have a totally uneducated population of young people and absolutely poor choices for employment. But good luck with that.
@@denisemcdougal6445 The only way to avoid that is saying NO to desantis. Florida can do much better without desantis as governor and president.
@@hectors.sanchez23 absolutely true.
I wish Daytona nascar would side with Disney and the professional sports arenas would side with Disney. Someone put that out there.
I was just thinking that, can you imagine if DeSantis had decided to retaliate against NASCAR? Of course, if they say something he doesn't like, he's made it so he can go after them too.
Be interesting if this will challenge Citizens United.
Public opinion is clearly on Disney's side even with the law suit. The freedom of speech argument is very compelling and further "bullying" by DeSantis will only make people side more with the mouse.
If this ended up with the overturning of citizens united that would be a massive victory for the country at Disney’s expense
