The DeSantis gambit

Uh... yeah. That's really not much of a troll. I don't think Ron cares.

Wait... you don't think the guy who promoted, signed into law, and bragged about the "Don't say gay" bill, then publicly threw a hissy fit about "woke" Disney for (tepidly) supporting LGBTQ+ rights, cares about gay people or Disney supporting them? How in the world did you twist the facts to fit into that bizarre take?
 
Of course he cares. Like most contemporary Republicans and their voters, he is a thin skinned wannabe tough guy who is scared to death of "looking weak" in public, so he needs to make a lot of performative gestures to demonstrate he is a manly man.

I wouldn't assume that Disney has the upper hand here. On paper, there is no legal conflict between Disney and Florida, only between the Reedy Creek Improvement District and Florida. RCID is legally supposed to be independent of Disney. If that turns out not to be the case, and Iger appears to have just admitted that it's not, that's a major problem for Disney.


What exactly did Iger say that he shouldn't have?

Still wondering.
 
Seems like even republican donors are starting to rethink supporting Meatball Ron. (Although I suspect that their complaints are more about his electability rather than complaints about his actual policies. i.e. "Why are you saying the quiet parts out loud?")

From: Rolling Stone
On a group chat of wealthy DeSantis donors...participants exploded with alarm last week over the Florida governor’s presidential prospects... "What... is wrong with RD?" one participant wrote after DeSantis did not curtail his out-of-state publicity tour to return home amid massive flooding in the Fort Lauderdale area...Several other top donors to DeSantis were livid about the governor referring to the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine as a "territorial dispute,"...Billionaire financier Thomas Peterffy told the Financial Times this past weekend that he and "a bunch of friends" were putting spending for the Florida governor on hold "because of his stance on abortion and book banning."

Remember how the republicans were complaining about Biden not going to visit the site of a train derailment? Good times, good times. Meatball Ron should have gone to Fort Lauderdale when they had the flooding, and tossed them some paper towels. (Seems like a very republican thing to do.)

Because you don't actually understand the bill, or the motivation behind it.

:dl:

Yeah, I was fooled by the statements of the authors of the bill, the wording of the bill, the statements of the Gov who signed the bill into law, and the effects the bill has had since it was passed into law.

What I should have believed was Zig's bizarre up is down defense of the bill instead!
 

Is that event planned for Florida or California? The article refers to "Disneyland" multiple times, but "Disneyland" is in California. "Disney World" is the park in Florida. That's not to say the article isn't getting the park names mixed up and the event is planned for Disney World, or maybe even both parks. But it doesn't expressly say which park is having the event by state.

https://www.rd.com/list/differences... has only two theme,, beach, and golf resorts.

If Desantis is trolling it’s a pretty pathetic way to cover the fact that Disney gave a legal ********** in front of everyone.

I think they are just realising De Santis is an idiot.
 
"Maybe we'll build a competing theme park next to Disney World. Or a prison."

Quote:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday threatened to build a prison or a competing theme park near the Magic Kingdom or raise taxes on Walt Disney World to retaliate against the company for resisting a state takeover of its special taxing district.
Quote:
“Come to think of it now, people are like, ‘well, what should we do with this land?’” DeSantis said. “Maybe create a state park. Maybe try to do more amusement parks. Someone even said like, maybe you need another state prison. I mean, who knows? I mean, I just think that the possibilities are endless.”

"I'll build my own park. With blackjack. And hookers."

You do know that Ron is trolling Disney with this, right?

Ronnie is sounding more and more like Donnie. What next? Ronnie claiming he knows more about building amusement parks and prisons than anyone else? That he can build them like no one has ever seen before?

"What a tool" is correct.
