That’s his real personal account. I had to double check it.
What a doofus! He comes across like right cnut! No surprise really.
The guy in prison killed people with his car supposedly after he fell asleep/passed out at the wheel while driving.
Manslaughter in most people’s book?
Now small Mike Lee wants him sent back to the US, to be free presumably.

I'm not going to feel sad for mega-corporation Disney. This is like the least of Ron DeSantis' sins.
It’s headline nonsense that will fall away with little fanfare.
Disney's worth more than 6 times Florida's total annual budget. They own Florida

I take it you don’t live in Florida?
What's your take on this? I remember reading of his threats to do this at least a couple of months ago (might have been more), it's been in the making for a while, is there much discussion about it in FL?
Here’s a pretty good synopsis of where it stands (warning - it’s a bit dry)…
https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/...oard-take-over-magic-kingdoms-governance/amp/
Full disclosure, I live in Georgia now, but pay attention to my home state. DeSantis is like a dog with a bone re: destroying anything what he deems is ‘woke.’ He is unrelenting. This all stems from Disney coming out against the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill being passed that would limit gender identity & sexual orientation discussion in public education. Speaking specifically of Walt Disney World in Florida, a very large part of the workers at the resort, etc. are gay; Disney totally has skin in the game. DeSantis is laser focused on hurting Disney at the ground level by removing their self governance & has fecked over other professional entities in Florida for being against his edicts (removed a line item in the budget for the Rays’ new minor league complex because the Rays tweeted about needing gun control after Uvalde; levied a multimillion dollar fine against the Special fecking Olympics for initially having a Covid vaccine mandate for its event).
If it was anyone but DeSantis, cooler, more logical heads would have never even got to this point as everyone benefits from Disney, all sides were copacetic with the arrangement for decades. But it’s a culture war issue which is all DeSantis basically is as a politician. Teachers & librarians have had to remove all their books from classrooms, all of them, as it’s easier & safer for them to not wade into a felony charge if a book has anything to do with DEI or sexuality in it.
Toss in a severe Napoleonic complex, you have the most dangerous politician in the country right now. It will be grand for Florida once DeSantis is no longer governor, but that will mean the country would potentially be about to suffer irreparable damage as he could be president.
Thanks for the thorough explanation!
If there's any silver lining it might be that corporations will no longer view the GOP as the business friendly party anymore if they keep up with shenanigans like this.
That’s a very hopeful sentiment, would love it to come true!
Your country is devolving into a giant episode of the twilight zone.
No it isn't, it's been there already for the best part of a decade!
If I were Disney, I say it's time to move the whole thing elsewhere. Then that cnut Desantis better not whine if that means several jobs and a huge chunk of the state's GDP get lost because of a self-inflicted wound.

As nice as that would be it's never happening, Disney are better off giving everyone in FL free trips to their theme parks if they vote Democrats in!
This man is dangerous
History will judge him, but I swear that DeSantis already is worse than George Wallace ever was.
The same way other big corporations do I guess, I'm not familiar with rules on this but the likes of the Koch brothers, Bloomberg etc have spent 100's of millions so there must be a wayhow do you even declare a campaign donation like that?
Maybe ask Trump, he got a feck from a porn star where there was a kind of donation
This doc any good? I'm planning on watching.
McCarthy has such a "what the feck am I doing here?" face during the State of the Union Address.
Funny how Biden seems to have the Republicans agreeing with him on quite a few things
It was remarkable. They stood and applauded him three times.
Speaks volumes, really.

What an odious cnut she is.
Aunt Lydia with the rebuttal.
What the hell did I just watch?
Does she believe that people will just go with faith and parables?Was it bad? I never listen to either speech.What the hell did I just watch?
Aunt Lydia came with the same Trumpian crap we have heard for years now. It's worse than a sandwich beyond its expiry date.
Romney and Santos seemed to have an exchange.
That’s great by Romney. Santos, or whatever his actual name is looked a bit concerned there. As he should.
think that was the best state of the union address i've seen. considering he's 80 and the maga crowd were in.
The traps Biden laid for the maga idiots during the speech were quite good. Mccarthy even passed word to his people not to heckle or verbalize anything during the speech; of course they wouldn't listen.
