@@joachimschoder Fair enough. But still, their legal department is not one to be messed with. It's still kinda weird to see them stand at the right side of history for once (relative to general public perception), usually they're depicted the villain of the story.
@@doomse150 I also feel torn about it all. Desantis has to be that bad to come off the villain vs Disney (which he is). Disney should have never been allowed to form it's own autonomous county within a state but... Desantis is the monstro stalking our freedoms.
My favourite part of this whole debacle was the part when a Republican politician thought they had access to better lawyers than... *checks notes* a $183 billion dollar 100 year old corporation with an illustrious history of legal litigation almost exclusively in contract and copyright law.
Its actually kind of amusing is that Disney wasn't much of a business man when he started and it was after he got backstabbed by a business partner which is why Mickey's older brother got lost to time. So one could look at this situation as beyond death vow to never be swindled again. Now if only Disney applied that power to well...anything then what it is currently doing things would be pretty chill.
When you're used to being the top bully/king of the playground it comes as a shock to realize that outside of said playground you're just a pathetic chump. Sucks for DeSantis. Same to all the little sycophants who thought they'd be able to wield any actual power against Disney by donating money to DeSantis. That group of leeches and hanger-ons are even worse. Can you imagine just how sad and pathetic that group must be after their delusions of grandeur whereby they convinced themselves that they'd be able to bring Disney to heel and turn it into a religious/conservative organization? 😂

The only way you would have a worse chance of beating mickey mouse is going into a war against the actual character: the character can create a sword from his own heart that shoots magic (which if death battle is to be believed is superior to yoda’s lightsaber and the forc) the mouse also has army allies from every kingdom of every country (including the oceans), the rebel alliance, the imperials and the avengers. Ron desantes couldn’t beat that army, cathulu couldn’t beat that army.

Sex Ed and lgbtq are not equivalent. One is biology, one is either a mental illness, a sexual fetish, or people trying to fit in to a group. They all need help and love, but I promise you “affirming” them isn’t helping. If you look at the charts, as affirmation goes up, suicidality goes up.
@@IJO221 what charts are you looking at? That doesn’t sound logical. People get addicted to porn from watching porn, not sex ed; a lot of parents don’t know that much about sex besides ejaculating inside vagina equals pregnancy so pull out; which no; and being queer is not a mental disorder.
@@IJO221 Number one way to wind up with healthy, well adjusted children: Don't tell them anything about the world and let them suffer in ignorance.

How could the party that's been allowing (and even fighting for) unchecked corporate influence in government be surprised when corporations actually use their unchecked influence in government?
GOP politicians receiving a few hundred million dollars casually from wealthy donors: Don't judge. Totally free speech. Gotta protect the business. Disney simply voicing opposition to the government: Crossed the line. No one is above the law.
It's deeply amusing that part of how they got outsmarted was because DeSantis appointed to his board a bunch of people who agreed with him ideologically, but not legal or business law experts, and thus the people who appointed simply completely failed to notice what was right in front of them until it was too late to do anything about it, if only because that keeps happening with the GOP these days.

This is like THE textbook example of violating the first amendment, but I guess nobody cares because they think every 1st amendment violation is someone on facebook telling them to shut up.
They didnt criticize the gov, they demanded political action and outright lied calling his bill something it wasnt, even this video lied about what it actually does, it doesnt make "discussion illegal" it makes "instruction from teachers illegal". They involved themselves into politics and most people in orlando are so sick of disney that they loved every second of it. This video also isnt completely honest, it seems to start at disneys "win" and stop before their utter defeat. Classic lawyer bs lmfao. Lets just say disney is "paying their fair share" now.

British comedian Jack Whitehall said his childhood died when he was performing in America and was put up for a couple of months at a Disney resort, alone. Calling down to reception and asking Mickey to enable the adult channels is something of a defining moment.
"Vow revenge" is one thing a politician should never be doing. It's not part of their job. It's a distraction from the work that politicians are elected to do. It's also childish and shows just how immature DeSantis is. it also reflects badly on every person who voted him into office - they should be embarrassed by all of this.

Democrats in national office had as their primary platform political revenge for the election of Donald Trump. The day he was elected many prominent democrats swore to impeach him, and even made one ludicrously weak attempt at it. Democrats generally are the party of political revenge. Quick bit of advice? Easier to dismount that absurd high horse than to fall off.
Lets not forget the GOP is the party that has a state senator who defended 12 years being married to Adults, by saying he knows such a couple and they are 'Still together' this is the party that accuses the other of 'Grooming'
It is some seriously creepy AF stuff they are legislating. Stuff that would genuinely be child abuse grade harm to kids. Imagine being forced to do that as a kid..?
EVERY Republican accusation is actually a confession, without exception. Conservatives are uncreative and cannot conceive of anyone being better human beings than they themselves are. Since they are scoundrels, they assume everyone is a scoundrel. So yes - the republicans latched onto “groomer” harder than anything because they are the party of sexualizing children.
What's actually going on with that republican law to have gym teachers inspect girls genitals in case any boys are hiding there? Yuck. Is that still gonna happen? I'm honestly too exhausted diving through republican sewage to check.
No doubt you think that's what the bill says. But it doesn't. It does not state to do an 'inspection'. It is something between the parents and the DOCTOR. It is NOT saying that school personnel will be doing an inspection. Don't be ridiculous. Or continue believing whatever the left tells you. Perhaps.. you are being lied to.

Trust me when i say Disney has prepared for this moment for decades, not just during the months after DeSantis signed the bill. They have had generations of legal experts consistently refining just the right charter waiting for the day when a governor like DeSantis would try to pull the trick of getting rid of their special district. There is no way any legal source DeSantis can muster is going to find a loophole in this agreement.
They can't even bother to read the publicly posted notices from the board they intend to take over; somehow I doubt their legal analysis will be any more competent.

This whole situation has me howling in laughter. For decades, conservative interests have been trying to deregulate corps at every possible turn, giving them as much power as humanly possible in the current political climate. Now that the corps are doing a thing they don't like, they think they can just... arrest control back. As if nothing happened. As if all that power they avidly provided were an illusion we all cooked up in our heads. They created this monster. It's poetic.
Play stupid games and ya get stupid results. The inherent problem with conservative goals is a distinct lack of long-term planning or foresight... so they keep being surprised at the consequences of their own actions. That tends to happen when you exclusively look backwards as the world moves forwards.
And now Democrats are simping for corporations who pander to "The Message" and use those corporations to censor anything they don't like. Funny how that works.

As a current law school student, I got almost giddy when I read about this a couple of weeks ago. I practically screamed out, "OMG! The Rule Against Perpetuities in the real world!!"
As a student you need to learn how statutes work… Tell us, when the statutes list out 3 things that must be performed in order to do something, and the government institution only does 2 of them, is that action enforceable? If a private institution exercises control over a government agency, are the actions of that agency enforceable?
@@artymaj6 I'm not really sure what you're asking. Rather than speak in some overly generic hypothetical, why don't you just ask the question you're trying to ask. Are you trying to say the actions of the board were illegal or that they are unenforceable? If so, say that and ask the question. You ask a lawyer or a law student some overly generic question, you're always going to get a very unhelpful "it depends" as a response.
Constitution says Congress shall make no law. Barring citizens to speak freely, practice religious events, freedom of the press, ect it said nothing about private businesses.
@@universalplayz7496 "The Supreme Judicial Court upheld the constitutionality of the statute, finding that a corporation could only claim first amendment protection when speaking on an issue materially affecting the corporation's business, property or assets." In non-legal speak, basically the same as a person, since whatever a company says can materially affect them (stocks, public opinion, etc).
Its important to note that Disney got the Reedy Creek Development District not directly for their theme park. Walt Disney World (park) is shoved in the farthest corner as it was simply a condition to get funding for the entire property (banks, investors, etc). The original goal for Disney, was EPCOT, or as it was known, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. So yes, while it might seem like a bit odd for a theme park to have supreme municipal power, that was what it was for: a city. Look up the "1966 Disney EPCOT film" for more, its a pretty fascinating look into what was quite literally Walt's last dream.
Which is why there are 2 cities within RCID: Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista. Bay Lake has most of the parks and LBV has the hotels, restaurants, Downton Disney, etc.

No, he did. He just has the typical authoritarian conservative mindset that he’s the smartest in the room, and that he could outsmart and bully Disney into submission. He’s a stupid person’s idea of a smart man, and a weak person’s idea of a strong man. Desantis just assumed he could come in and bully his way through. I’m not a fan of Disney or their heavy handed legislative tactics, but I’m glad they’re punching back.
He knows I think he also knows he won't win. This is just to score easy headlines in republican media which is designed to help his win the republican nomination.

What I see as a last line of defense for Disney is that their execs close the doors of Disney World, lay off nearly half a million employees (I would really hate it for them because it isn't their fault - it sucks being a pawn), and take a Disney cruise to Anaheim laughing all the way as DeSantis watches his tax revenues go south, unemployment spikes, and his approval rating goes to hell because he had the stupidity to chase one of Florida's biggest employers out of the state. Maybe he should just let free people be free.
He wouldn't care, no would the republican extremist. To them its a victory if the whole state tanked from that. As not only would disney leave but the rest of tourism. Facist don't care. What would really be a massive blow would be if disney did do that and proceeded to destroy everything there so DeSantis and his facist scum wasn't able to use the park to turn it into a republican conservative paradise.
These are republicans. If half a million Disney employees suddenly became unemployed, they would honestly cheer it. Hell, they love letting children die to protect their favorite amendment. clarification edit: I mean their interpretation of their favorite amendment*

Right?? It’s crazy that he didn’t seem to anticipate that this huge corporation wouldn’t have anticipated that at some point the government would come for their special district. They’ve likely been prepared for this for a long time.
At last, a chance to re-tell the worst gag I heard studying law. The rule against perpetuities includes (in the UK anyway, and in 1985 anyway) the idea of a life in being which is "en ventre sa mere" i.e., conceived but not yet born. So if Megan was pregnant when Disney did the deed, that baby would be what Legal Eagle calls the "measuring life". Our law lecturer posed the question: what about a frozen egg/sperm combo? Would it, he asked rhetorically, be (wait for it...) "en ventre sa frigidaire"? I know, I'm sorry. But I waited over 30 years for this.
This is especially delicious because of how these types of people would love to assert that's a human life already, as long as it was letting them control someone else's bodily autonomy.
The irony of it all is, well- Desantis is just gonna now have this as a blemish on his history- Anyone can now just be like: "*Why should we vote for the dude who can't even stop a corporation from getting past him?*"
Yet other results of Disney’s corporate cronyism and monopoly power have remained hidden - until now. Crooked Kickbacks Perhaps one of the most egregious revelations from the audit was the unethical flow of perks and benefits from Disney to RCID employees. Disney effectively bought the loyalty of the district. According to the report, here’s how it worked: Disney would provide flashy perks to Reedy Creek employees, many of which weren’t available to the general public. These benefits included up to 40 percent off Disney cruises and merchandise, other discounts on resort rooms and services, and millions of dollars worth of Disney park annual passes for not only employees but also their friends and family - plus free, single-use, transferable tickets over the holidays. District employees even received some privileges reserved for Disney workers, known as “cast members,” such as gifts and invites to closed-door parties. Of course, none of these kickbacks were included in workers’ taxable income.
As someone who coaches children in sports, I consider it an honour when my kids feel like I am a trustworthy adult in their life. I try to refer to them by preferred names and pronouns and respect them when they tell me they aren’t yet out to their parents. The only time I would ever report on something a child has told me in confidence is if they may be being abused or are in danger. Children are people too.
Kids need adults like this. Even if parents are great, kids don't necessarily like going to their parents for everything. They need adults they can trust that aren't their parents.
And no guarantee how safe a space that home is to come out to... could be that kid is white-knuckling their way to adulthood when they can finally be themselves all the time.

I find it hilarious, that DeSantis and his pals knew Disney was going to try something, knew how Florida's laws worked and completely failed to look for publicly posted notices about said meeting
My personally preferred version is that there is somebody somewhere in the lower echelons of government who is tasked with checking out for such stuff and did see the notice - and decided not to bring it to superiors' attention. Heroes are everywhere.
It's even worse then that. All they'd literally need to do is take 5 minutes to write a script to notify them about anything with the word "Disney" in it, or anything posted by that county, and then have a human review the notifications and send them off to the lawyers if necessary.

It is so sad to see people calling educating children about sexuality "sexualizing children" and "grooming children". Especially knowing that teaching children how things work and what is appropriate and is not, actually helps them speak up and prevent prolonged sexual abuse. It is precisely this "anti-grooming" ideology that is making grooming easier.
And of course teaching about LGBTQIA+ issues actively prevents future misery for some children while having little or no negative impact on the other children (research even suggests that a more LGBTQIA+ accepting society would benefit everyone)
Yes! So much grooming is successful because children are not informed (at an appropriate level for their age). This law wants to treat children as property instead of people.
It's only because they build up these crazy strawmen and say that sexual education are drag shows or teachers "transing" kids or whatever. The only way they win these discussions is by outright lying and pretending things that don't happen are real.
@Brendan Kruger I don't think anyone in these comments has read any of the actual legal documentation or kept informed on a legitimate unbiased source. Legal eagle is ridiculously biased left.

I can already see Ron DeSantis walking up to Buckingham Palace with a .45 determined to do whatever it takes to strike back at Disney, and then immediately getting suplexed by the palace guards.
Of all the groups Desantis decides to go up against he chose Disney. One of the largest most influential companies in the world that literally changed Copyright law to basically be whatever they wanted it to be. A company with some of the worlds best lawyers on speed dial just to find the smallest loophole that will get them out of anything.

DeSantis needs to be removed from office. He's clearly committed a clear abuse of authority trying to consolidate power. If there was ever a time to enact impeachment, this would be it.
The new things they are trying now is to pass a law that take their development rights away but don't realize that it would affect all developments in the state. In addition to tolling all state roads to enter the grounds and increasing hotel taxes that would again effect all hotels in the state.
In many ways this feels like one of those Alien vs Predator movies. My hope is that we all can just keep our heads down and Disney will destroy DeSantos and DeSantos will find some way to stifle Disney’s continuing attempt to extend all of it copy rights indefinitely and to gobble up or control all media or cultural thought in the country.

@@theadministrator4765 Uh ya he did. Disney no longer has control over the district, the RCID has been replaced with the CFTOD, their royal clause was struck down in July and was only a delay tactic, Disney withdrew all but one of their federal cases which will most likely be dismissed post audit of the RCID, thus leading to only state cases which legal experts have claimed they will lose as the audit is now evidence, oh and Disney has to pay all the backed taxes. So ya, Ron won. How do I know this? Because unlike you I actually researched it and I live outside of the boundaries of the now former RCID. Get with the times mate, brush up on current events.
Telling quote: "This board loses, for practical purposes, the majority of its ability to do anything beyond maintain the roads and maintain basic infrastructure." First off: Isn't that essentially the definition of "small government with limited powers to avoid overreach?" I thought DeSantis loved that shit. Second: isn't maintaining roads and basic infrastructure pretty much exactly what these kinds of boards are supposed to do?
Historically, roads going to and from a park are county and municipal, Disney had control and costs for them instead and now, DeDodo decided to try to strip them away and have nobody pay for them, as his act left nobody to maintain them. Infrastructure typically is park infrastructure and belongs to Disney. That leaves public utilities, which like the roads, would be in limbo.
Exactly, it seems like they had no clue what their job was gonna be. It seems like the board wanted to pick and choose what attractions Disney develops. "Oh that's to woke and not enough American flags, denied!"
Unbelievable amount of corruption going on at Disney with its special district. The worst is yet to come for Disney. I’m guessing Legal Eagle won’t cover this anymore given he’s a political hack at this point.

Its actually kind of amusing is that Disney wasn't much of a business man when he started and it was after he got backstabbed by a business partner which is why Mickey's older brother got lost to time. So one could look at this situation as beyond death vow to never be swindled again. Now if only Disney applied that power to well...anything then what it is currently doing things would be pretty chill.

Now that the corps are doing a thing they don't like, they think they can just... arrest control back. As if nothing happened. As if all that power they avidly provided were an illusion we all cooked up in our heads.
They created this monster. It's poetic.

Play stupid games and ya get stupid results. The inherent problem with conservative goals is a distinct lack of long-term planning or foresight... so they keep being surprised at the consequences of their own actions. That tends to happen when you exclusively look backwards as the world moves forwards.

And now Democrats are simping for corporations who pander to "The Message" and use those corporations to censor anything they don't like. Funny how that works.

As a current law school student, I got almost giddy when I read about this a couple of weeks ago. I practically screamed out, "OMG! The Rule Against Perpetuities in the real world!!"
As a student you need to learn how statutes work… Tell us, when the statutes list out 3 things that must be performed in order to do something, and the government institution only does 2 of them, is that action enforceable? If a private institution exercises control over a government agency, are the actions of that agency enforceable?
@@artymaj6 I'm not really sure what you're asking. Rather than speak in some overly generic hypothetical, why don't you just ask the question you're trying to ask. Are you trying to say the actions of the board were illegal or that they are unenforceable? If so, say that and ask the question. You ask a lawyer or a law student some overly generic question, you're always going to get a very unhelpful "it depends" as a response.

In non-legal speak, basically the same as a person, since whatever a company says can materially affect them (stocks, public opinion, etc).
Its important to note that Disney got the Reedy Creek Development District not directly for their theme park. Walt Disney World (park) is shoved in the farthest corner as it was simply a condition to get funding for the entire property (banks, investors, etc). The original goal for Disney, was EPCOT, or as it was known, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. So yes, while it might seem like a bit odd for a theme park to have supreme municipal power, that was what it was for: a city. Look up the "1966 Disney EPCOT film" for more, its a pretty fascinating look into what was quite literally Walt's last dream.
Which is why there are 2 cities within RCID: Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista. Bay Lake has most of the parks and LBV has the hotels, restaurants, Downton Disney, etc.

Considering Disney once sued a daycare for putting Mickey Mouse on the walls, Ron DeSantis had absolutely no clue who he was messing with.
No, he did. He just has the typical authoritarian conservative mindset that he’s the smartest in the room, and that he could outsmart and bully Disney into submission. He’s a stupid person’s idea of a smart man, and a weak person’s idea of a strong man. Desantis just assumed he could come in and bully his way through.

Now if only the monster would choke to death while eating the doctor, this Frankenstein story would have a happy ending.

What would really be a massive blow would be if disney did do that and proceeded to destroy everything there so DeSantis and his facist scum wasn't able to use the park to turn it into a republican conservative paradise.
These are republicans. If half a million Disney employees suddenly became unemployed, they would honestly cheer it. Hell, they love letting children die to protect their favorite amendment.

Back in the 1970s SCOTUS decided attempts to limit campaign funding by corporations a violation and De Santis is championing another attempt to restrict their freedom of expression
Their strategy right now is primarily to let other people fire lawsuits. Their reaction to the attempt to flat out dissolve Reedy Creek was "so, since there is no plan to pay for the debt we're gonna ignore this," which put the ball firmly in DeSantis court.

At last, a chance to re-tell the worst gag I heard studying law. The rule against perpetuities includes (in the UK anyway, and in 1985 anyway) the idea of a life in being which is "en ventre sa mere" i.e., conceived but not yet born. So if Megan was pregnant when Disney did the deed, that baby would be what Legal Eagle calls the "measuring life". Our law lecturer posed the question: what about a frozen egg/sperm combo? Would it, he asked rhetorically, be (wait for it...) "en ventre sa frigidaire"? I know, I'm sorry. But I waited over 30 years for this.

Yet other results of Disney’s corporate cronyism and monopoly power have remained hidden - until now.
Crooked Kickbacks
Perhaps one of the most egregious revelations from the audit was the unethical flow of perks and benefits from Disney to RCID employees. Disney effectively bought the loyalty of the district.
According to the report, here’s how it worked: Disney would provide flashy perks to Reedy Creek employees, many of which weren’t available to the general public. These benefits included up to 40 percent off Disney cruises and merchandise, other discounts on resort rooms and services, and millions of dollars worth of Disney park annual passes for not only employees but also their friends and family - plus free, single-use, transferable tickets over the holidays. District employees even received some privileges reserved for Disney workers, known as “cast members,” such as gifts and invites to closed-door parties. Of course, none of these kickbacks were included in workers’ taxable income.
As someone who coaches children in sports, I consider it an honour when my kids feel like I am a trustworthy adult in their life. I try to refer to them by preferred names and pronouns and respect them when they tell me they aren’t yet out to their parents. The only time I would ever report on something a child has told me in confidence is if they may be being abused or are in danger. Children are people too.
Well said. Thank you for helping children with sports.
this is the right attitude ❤ we need more people like you!
what if their preferred pronoun is "I am a child molester"" ?
Kids need adults like this. Even if parents are great, kids don't necessarily like going to their parents for everything. They need adults they can trust that aren't their parents.
And no guarantee how safe a space that home is to come out to... could be that kid is white-knuckling their way to adulthood when they can finally be themselves all the time.

It's even worse then that. All they'd literally need to do is take 5 minutes to write a script to notify them about anything with the word "Disney" in it, or anything posted by that county, and then have a human review the notifications and send them off to the lawyers if necessary.
@@shadowninja6689 I used to work for a company that literally did this for all web publications, radio and television segments (although not the in the US) for government public figures and various keywords.
I never in my life ever thought I would look at Disney lawyers and say, "Niiiiice".
Why not? You clearly look like a person with bad judgment.
I'm cackling at the fact that DeSantis really thought he pulled one on Disney. THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY?! 😂😂 I guarantee Disney lawyers have prepped for this situation decades ago.
The company that extended copyrights, goes after elementary schools for public movie screenings, is known to win most of the injury lawsuits at their parks and probably thought a Democrat would be the one to dissolve their special district someday. What's the point of having scores of the best lawyers on hand if you don't make them work?
Disney Lawyers are like Batman. With enough prep time, they can take on anyone.
@@admiralsquatbar127Disney: get me full rights of Reedy Creek. Do what you want to anything else but Reedy Creek is mine. NOW FLY!! FLY!!!!!! FLYY FLYYY FLYYYY!!!
@@AmandaLeeHarrington Their special district actually helps the surrounding area so a democrat wouldn't be dumb enough to go after it over some petty crap like this.
@@AmandaLeeHarrington The Elementary School situation was caused by some dumfucks in their legal department and I'm pretty sure they later apologised for that.
Looks like Disney losing badly, 1 case lost..one more to lose….
Aaand they just lost the other one lol
Lol. The cases will be tried again and Florida ain't winning this one. Try again magat
It is so sad to see people calling educating children about sexuality "sexualizing children" and "grooming children". Especially knowing that teaching children how things work and what is appropriate and is not, actually helps them speak up and prevent prolonged sexual abuse.
It is precisely this "anti-grooming" ideology that is making grooming easier.
And of course teaching about LGBTQIA+ issues actively prevents future misery for some children while having little or no negative impact on the other children (research even suggests that a more LGBTQIA+ accepting society would benefit everyone)
@@megustAslagt I’m seeing a frightening number of those sorts of comments in this thread
Yes! So much grooming is successful because children are not informed (at an appropriate level for their age). This law wants to treat children as property instead of people.
It's only because they build up these crazy strawmen and say that sexual education are drag shows or teachers "transing" kids or whatever. The only way they win these discussions is by outright lying and pretending things that don't happen are real.
@Brendan Kruger I don't think anyone in these comments has read any of the actual legal documentation or kept informed on a legitimate unbiased source. Legal eagle is ridiculously biased left. But that's the reality. You're left or right. You're not a person or individual anymore no matter what each side tries to tell you lol
Man I’m just glad disneys lawyers are using their powers for good for once, keep ‘em pointed in the right direction and let them off the leash.
“Ron DeSantis is a more capable version of Trump.”
Disney:
That was the myth everyone was told cuz we didn’t know the potential of desantis.
Now we do 🤣🤣🤣
Admittedly a very low bar
@@avacadomangobanana2588 especially given how this was done in the open based on Florida’s laws and yet nobody in the DeSantis administration realized. Or if they did, they were tuned out.
More capable than Trump doesn't mean capable. Trump is a very very very low bar to clear.
@@joachimschoder Trump couldn't even clear William barr, his own AG.
“Did legal legal come here for one sight gags, no we came here for many sight gags “ 😂😂😂 PRICELESS❣️❣️❣️
I saw a cartoon on the internet of Mickey Mouse whispering into Ron DeSantis's ear and Mickey says. “I was popular before you were born and I will still be popular when you're gone” very true...
I can already see Ron DeSantis walking up to Buckingham Palace with a .45 determined to do whatever it takes to strike back at Disney, and then immediately getting suplexed by the palace guards.
If he made it to them they wouldn't suplex them, they'd shoot him. Contrary to popular belief the palace guards are entirely capable of icing a bitch.
Thanks for putting that image in my head, I will laugh if that ends up happening.
@@alexvives1335 Think nothing of it
Mickey Mouse exercising his Stand Your Ground rights.
That wouldn't happen because DeSantis would be breaking English law carrying a hand gun to commit a crime, ie Killing the King.
Of all the groups Desantis decides to go up against he chose Disney. One of the largest most influential companies in the world that literally changed Copyright law to basically be whatever they wanted it to be. A company with some of the worlds best lawyers on speed dial just to find the smallest loophole that will get them out of anything. I know the man has delusions of grandeur, but this battle will keep him down and out forever
Not to mention that Desantis is picking fight with the biggest source of income and jobs for the state that he is currently governing.
It was known to be stupid at the time, blew up on him, and then continues to get worse as the situation evolves.
He's moved from stepping on a series of rakes, to walking into quicksand, and finally into a minefield.
This man is fundamentally not smart.
not forever, just 21 years after the death of the last descendant of King Charles living at the time the contract was signed. Which, barring the GOP sending a hit squad for the Royal Family, is tantamount to a whole lifetime, or well past the time DeSantis and his cronies have rotted in the grave.
@@shaunmcisaac782 Disney made the decision to try to force DeSantis to be their crony.... bad move. whether it makes Desantis look good or not... Disney was trying to do things that ARE illegal.... for good reason.
It was a case of choosing what to fight... 'because giving Disney what they wanted.... wasn't going to actually be all that easy... and .... he had good reason to fight them.
@@marhawkman303 Also no Disney didnt do anything illegal, didnt you watch the video? lmao
This aged horribly.
Not really? both parties agreed to settle out of court, and DeSantis' political aspirations went down in flames.
@@Anvilman Part of the settlement is Disney’s Reedy Creek agreement is now officially considered null and void. So yes, this aged terribly. And Trump winning the nomination again doesn’t have anything to do with this.
@@superduperm1-v9o Instead, Disney will be negotiating a new agreement in the near future, so that doesn't really mean anything.
Do you REALLY think that DeSantis' campaign completely falling apart before the primaries had nothing to do with him pissing off Disney?
@@Anvilman Nope. It had everything to do with Trump being indicted and the Republicans/conservatives deciding to rally around him. Whether or not that’s good or bad is for you to decide, but that’s why Trump won the primary. Mickey Mouse didn’t have anything to do with it.
@@superduperm1-v9o I'm sure you desperately want people to believe that. Though I'll admit, your implicit admission that Republicans believe a blatant criminal represents them best is hilarious.
What’s really funny is that Disney did this in an open meeting where public notice was given of the meeting.
But the DeSantis administration couldn’t spare even one lawyer to show up to the meeting and ask questions. 😏
It's kind of impressive how staggeringly incompetent they can be at times. It'd be like if during the siege of Constantinople when the Ottomans found an opened gate, instead of walking through it they bricked it up and went "Ha! Now they're trapped!"
@@CollinMcLean They probably expected Disney to fight back in other ways, like throwing their money around or doing shady deals under the table. I bet the last thing Desantis expected was for Disney to step up to the plate in broad daylight and outmaneuver them!
@@seasnaill2589 More like the Repubs are all horribly intellectually lazy. If it isn't on FOX news they don't care.
It was so clever that they left off a step that all property owners are supposed to be notified by mail 7 days before the first public meeting.
@@seasnaill2589 but thats what they do. Between them and McDonalds its a close race for whos the most egregious company on earth when it comes to lawsuits and battling them in public.
Hell just the hint of a lawsuit vs either of them can TANK share prices overnight
I still love what Stephen Colbert said about this. "DeSantis is finding out what everyone in show business already knows. You don't f*ck with Disney's lawyers."
Mickey Mouse on South Park is what then
Loving how you clearly used the video as an excuse to write off Disney as a business expense, lol. Great video
Well THIS didn't age well LOL
It aged fine. Both parties agreed to settle out of court, and DeSantis' political aspirations went down in flames.
Valliant! Haha! You had to come here like me a gloat. 🤣 Can't wait to see your video on this.
Special live show tonight @@eightiesman
Disney’s last minute power grab agreements with Reedy Creek are null and void as part of the ‘settlement’. Total Disney loss!
@@jamessutton3172 And in exchange, a key member of the board was replaced with someone much more favorable to Disney, and they'll be negotiating a new development agreement in the near future.
I'm sure you desperately want to believe that.
I can't believe I'm Siding with Disney, That's how terrible this is
Ron Desantis simply removed their tax breaks and favors
Definitely the lesser of two evils by a wide margin
I don't know. Personally I'd describe it as "I'm siding against DeSantis", Disney being on that side is somewhat coincidental.
@@TheBassManBoy that's fair
@@osmosisjones4912 Nah he performed a facist form on intimidation for them daring to question a bill.
As much as I despise Disney
The fact that they outmaneuvered Ron Desantis is hilarious XD.
But seriously tho, thank goodness they won because Desantis is consolidating all the power to himself and it’s becoming incredibly dangerous.
Your last line is THE GOAL.
DeSantis needs to be removed from office. He's clearly committed a clear abuse of authority trying to consolidate power. If there was ever a time to enact impeachment, this would be it.
The new things they are trying now is to pass a law that take their development rights away but don't realize that it would affect all developments in the state. In addition to tolling all state roads to enter the grounds and increasing hotel taxes that would again effect all hotels in the state.
In many ways this feels like one of those Alien vs Predator movies. My hope is that we all can just keep our heads down and Disney will destroy DeSantos and DeSantos will find some way to stifle Disney’s continuing attempt to extend all of it copy rights indefinitely and to gobble up or control all media or cultural thought in the country.
The term is.. Fascism but I guess it's fine since is anti woke 😂
They were fine with Citizen United saying companies can give them unlimited money as speech, but they don't want them to actually speak.
Conversely, liberals hated the idea of companies being able to influence government until a company was doing things they liked.
@@JayTemple More telling them that they made their bed and they can lie in it
Any one who has seen one episode of the Simpson could tell how this was going to end up 😂
@JayTemple Please name one company that fits that criteria.
Plus, if we have to have a shitty system, we might as well support those who do the least amount of harm in it.
Pro tip Desantis: Don’t go after the company that’s well-known for having a large team of rabid lawyers at their disposal
Well he beat them sooooo...
wrong
@@swamp1138he didn't though lmfao
@@theadministrator4765 Uh ya he did. Disney no longer has control over the district, the RCID has been replaced with the CFTOD, their royal clause was struck down in July and was only a delay tactic, Disney withdrew all but one of their federal cases which will most likely be dismissed post audit of the RCID, thus leading to only state cases which legal experts have claimed they will lose as the audit is now evidence, oh and Disney has to pay all the backed taxes. So ya, Ron won.
How do I know this? Because unlike you I actually researched it and I live outside of the boundaries of the now former RCID. Get with the times mate, brush up on current events.
@@theadministrator4765 Disney lost the case, DeSantis won lol
Calling "It's a Small World" Ron's birthplace is one of the best jokes I've heard all week, and it's only Monday. Bravo, Eagle.
Telling quote: "This board loses, for practical purposes, the majority of its ability to do anything beyond maintain the roads and maintain basic infrastructure."
First off: Isn't that essentially the definition of "small government with limited powers to avoid overreach?" I thought DeSantis loved that shit.
Second: isn't maintaining roads and basic infrastructure pretty much exactly what these kinds of boards are supposed to do?
Little Ronnie thought he’d be able to use his flunkies to dictate Disney corporate policy.
Historically, roads going to and from a park are county and municipal, Disney had control and costs for them instead and now, DeDodo decided to try to strip them away and have nobody pay for them, as his act left nobody to maintain them.
Infrastructure typically is park infrastructure and belongs to Disney. That leaves public utilities, which like the roads, would be in limbo.
Exactly, it seems like they had no clue what their job was gonna be. It seems like the board wanted to pick and choose what attractions Disney develops. "Oh that's to woke and not enough American flags, denied!"
When this happened, lawyers on the podcasts I listen to were so excited.
“We get to talk about the rule against perpetuities!” 😂
Any good podcast recs? I'd love to hear this!
@@kevinhodgkins007 I’ll make a list and get back to you.
@@Kahlessa Aw awesome, thank ya! :)
State Independent Audit of Disney just dropped, looks like LegalEagle is wrong on a lot of things.
Unbelievable amount of corruption going on at Disney with its special district. The worst is yet to come for Disney. I’m guessing Legal Eagle won’t cover this anymore given he’s a political hack at this point.
I wouldn't exactly call it independent lol. But I fail to see how their "findings" contradict anything LE said in the video.
...how stupid are you? How is he wrong by accurately describing a past event? I'd love to hear your surely well-thought out examples.
