    Apparently mice really do scare elephants just like those cartoons we used to watch.

    DeSantis is an idiot for going after one of the most beloved brands in the world. Dude is about to get beat down and FL taxpayers will foot the bill. It’s too bad Disney can’t relocate. Republicans alway crying about government overreach stifling innovation and killing jobs and they they pull this BS.

    I think he just misspelled the word...i.e. "pudding is viscous"

    Calling DeSantis a fascist is truly an overuse of the term. Disagree with him, ridicule him, etc., but he is far from a fascist.

    Interesting read for DeFacist (I keed...) and Disney's turf war.
    Disney Has a Secret. Ron DeSantis May Be Uncovering It.
    End paragraphs:
    “When the governor gives his people the ability to slow down construction on the park and maybe stop construction, he’s holding a knife to his own throat,” Foglesong said. It could hurt tourism, which “would be bad for Florida.”

    “Never would I have thought a governor in the state of Florida would threaten the Walt Disney Company, least of all a Republican governor,” Foglesong added. “Republicans are supposed to be pro-business, and this is the biggest business in the state of Florida.”

    But Foglesong is not opposed to what DeSantis is doing, at least in terms of practical outcomes. He pointed to the fees that Disney has wormed its way out of paying for decades—fees that could pay for widened roads and law enforcement needed to handle the traffic and tourism brought to the area because of Disney World. “I believe it’s appropriate to take powers away from Disney that were ill-gotten,” Foglesong said. But DeSantis is trying “it for the wrong reasons.”

    No surprise this guy represents Ron DeSantis' state. Their hatred of homosexuals is toxic.

    Not fascist. I agree.

    Is authoritarian and very corrupt though. Certainly has some fascist tendencies as well.

    If you can say with a straight face that a church bus driver should be thrown in jail for human smuggling because they took an illegal immigrant to church, then you are a DeSantis kind of man for sure - because he just passed that law.

    Why does the governor of Florida need to travel to Japan? I don't remember our governor ever needing to go overseas........hell, if your gonna take a trip on someone's dime go someplace fun like Australia. I am sure RD is not going to tell anyone why or who is actually paying for this, I had high hopes for him when this first started but he has shown his true colors, and is your typical gop hack............cant wait to see the debates between RD and trump, little ronny will get taken to the woodshed

    dam, I wonder if that was a Freudian slip or did he really mean to say that............either way, that's how many in the gop feel, I prefer them to be honest about it so we know how they feel. And yet people still vote for these types which blows my mind, I mean you have to be straight up racist to vote for someone like this or MTG. There disgusting but they have an audience for their nonsense

    Well when he openly admits to taking revenge on a company for opposing his don't say gay ban, that's pretty much the textbook definition of corruption.

    Read his memoir - it's being used as evidence against him.
