"Haley Sides With Disney and Whacks ‘Sanctimonious’ DeSantis: ‘My Home State Will Happily Accept Your 70,000+ Jobs’"


As much of a clown Desantis is acting as, do people really think there is any chance Disney will pull out of Florida? It is all just talking points and rhetoric.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Of course not
He's simply opened up himself to attacks on the right and left. That's not easy to do :-)
I was curious
Was your insurance payouts to your family satisfactory?
I hear the insurance companies are not playing fair in determining how much compensation there is for the recent hurricane damage.

I’m fine with Disney giving all their money to Florida Democrats through a couple elections and none to Florida Republicans. If Ron keeps up this woke is broke, red may go dead in this state, or be severely injured.

Mine was only about $20,000 but quick and fair. My Mothers was a couple hundred thousand and was timely and fair. My sister is still rebuilding but her fight was with the county or state because there is a rule if more than 50% of the value of house is lost you must bring it up to all the new code enforcement rules. The biggest of which is you must raise your house to at least 9 feet above sea level to prevent future flooding. As you can imagine that is not an inexpensive task.

I like this
The Great White Dope
I think a lot of his early support was the thought that he could beat Biden. ROTFL. Only the most foolish believed this.
6 week abortion ban and trying to punish Disney simply due to politics is confirming he's the Great White Dope.
Lawsuit aint looking good
Every speech and comment he makes regarding Disney will come back to haunt him because its obviously political
What a Great White Dope

"Disney said DeSantis' actions amounted to a "targeted campaign of government retaliation."
The company's 73-page lawsuit is filled with blunt warnings from DeSantis' memoir, fundraising material, interviews and announcements that the entertainment giant had "crossed a line" into the realm of politics and had to be reined in.
Ken Paulson, a professor at Middle Tennessee State University, said the governor may come to regret his attacks on the company.
"There's a very good chance that he's going to pay for those in a court of law," said Paulson, the director of the school's Free Speech Center."

How low the once light-weight have fallen.

Big Tits now is as popular as RFK Jr.

Ron DeSantis' ongoing disaster with Disney is getting worse for him. It turns out his own memoir repeatedly admits that he weaponized the state against Disney for criticizing "don't say gay." Disney extensively cites his book in its lawsuit against him


Sounds like an open-and-shut case.

Is this going to play out during his predicted run? Who pays for the suit when he loses? Ron or Florida?

Also this seems like a way more costly potential ruling than the voting machines. If Disney claims even 1% loss, that's a massive amount of $$$
