Politics DeSantis polishes credentials as fascist bully!

[MARIS61]

After signing the legislation into law, DeSantis' office issued a statement clarifying that "it is not the understanding or expectation for SB 4-C, abolishing independent special districts, to cause any tax increases for the residents of any area of Florida."

The statement continued, "In the near future, we will propose additional legislation to authorize additional special districts in a manner that ensure transparency and an even playing field under the law."

“The near future” being when DeIdiot’s political future has been determined one way or another. He’s pissed enough Floridians off that he now needs to throw them a sop (AKA “lie”) in the hopes they’ll keep voting for him. He appeases his mindless base by bashing a conjured up “enemy” while winking at those who are opposed to his actions. Political cynicism at it’s finest……

The Disney exec who led the company in its disastrous opposition to Florida's education bill has resigned after only 3 months on the job

You might laugh about this, but face it: If you led your multibillion-dollar company into a policy position that made the entire world think you were creepy child sex groomers, and it caused a major government to strip you of political protections you'd enjoyed for decades—heck, you'd probably bow out, too!

Disney executive Geoff Morrell, who helped craft response to 'Don't Say Gay' law, leaves company after three months
Morrell helped Disney CEO Bob Chapek craft a response to Florida's "Don't Say Gay" legislation that has arguably backfired on the company.

Geoff Morrell, the chief corporate affairs officer who helped architect Disney's public response to Florida's so-called "Don't Say Gay" legislation, has decided to leave the company.

"After three months in this new role, it has become clear to me that for a number of reasons it is not the right fit," Morrell said in a letter to his team that CNBC has obtained. "After talking this over with [Disney CEO] Bob [Chapek], I have decided to leave the company to pursue other opportunities."

"For a number of reasons it is not the right fit." Yeah I can think of a few buddy. I bet Ron DeSantis can too!

Here's the kicker, folks:

According to people who worked with him, Morrell set out to be more transparent with Disney's communication than his predecessor, Zenia Mucha, who was known to closely guard Disney's image.

Oookay, so the lady before him was more interested in "closely guarding Disney's image," and then after 12 weeks on the job this guy has absolutely and maybe irrevocably tarnished Disney's image?

Shoulda stuck with the Zenia Mucha approach, Mr. Morrell!

Ron DeSantis doubles down and insists Disney WILL have to pay its $2BN debts after entertainment conglomerate claimed Florida would be on the hook if special privileges are revoked

• During a Thursday townhall in Orlando, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis insisted that Disney is the one that will be paying up, not Florida residents
• 'No. Disney will pay its debts,' he said. 'Disney will, for the first time, actually live under the same laws as everybody else in Florida. Imagine that.'
• Earlier this week Disney hit back at DeSantis over his decision to strip the Reedy Creek Improvement District of special privileges
• The entertainment company said that there is a clause in its original contract that stipulates the state is responsible for its $2 billion bond debt
• Many believe DeSantis removed Disney's special privilege status because the entertainment giant vocally opposed his so-called Don't Say Gay bill

In a way, that's true. Disney will pay the bonds, because DeSantis's stunt won't ever be effective, and things at Disney will go on as they always have.

My guess is that DeSantis knew all along that nothing would happen, but he was able to fool a lot of people like you, so it's all good.

DeSantis playing people. Disney will play because the district will not be changed. Trying to make it sound like he has succeeded in something. He has succeeded in nothing. He's just a showman and a sucker is born every minute.

So Disney told him he’s outta luck and will just pay the bonds they were going to pay anyway and they will do exactly what they were going to do anyway?
How is that anything positive for DeSantis?
Kind of seems like he got clowned again?

If DeSantis has a valid reason for this circus, it is real simple. All he has to do is return the $100K in donations he took from Disney before they had to nerve to disagree with him. If he keeps the money, he proves he is a hypocrite and fraud.

Dislney?

That sounds like a crappy off-brand of Disney, lol.

Some people find bullies admirable. Never understood myself. Fundamentally they are weak. Can't persuade so they abuse

 

[MARIS61]

I agree, Disney is a bully.

Oh, and a massive Profiteer of Genocide through their partnership with China, so there's that.
