Disney still pays a ton in property taxes, but pays for their own roads and infrastructure, and contracts with the local municipalities for things like police services. If this goes through, those local municipalities will have to provide all those services JUST for the property taxes. It would end up costing them…

Exactly. Florida makes far to much money off Disney to threaten their sovereign status.  Plus if Ron really threatens the Mouse he’s gonna get his legs broken by Donald and Goofy

Or maybe if we’re really lucky this will turn into a “fucked around and found out” situation where the state’s largest employer puts its full weight behind defeating DeSantis and any of the Republicans that try to help him.

I would love love love if Disney called this douchebag’s bluff and pulled out of Florida. At least on the level of shipping all their employees down there; I can’t imagine planning to shutter Disney World would ever happen, but deciding to not bring more employees to a state rapidly receding both into the past and the …

Knock yourself right on out there, Ron. Disney directly employs 80,000 people in your state, and indirectly generates many more jobs than that. Your state needs Disney more than it needs you.

This is why Disney donates to all those Florida politicians.

This. The sad reality is that Disney is too powerful of a company. Unless Desantis is drunk in his political influence, he’ll easily make enemies with our corporate overlords. But he’s too simple and insecure.

This ^. It’s all bluster. Can you imagine the damage Disney could do to the state/DeSantis should he attempt this nonsense? There are three American institutions I never want to fuck with: the FBI, the IRS and the Disney. 

Will never happen. Its just another one of Ron’s toothless headline grabbers in his bid to be POTUS in 2025.

Agree. This is probably the only time he’s actually told the truth lol.

Really? Key bump means exactly what it sounds like it means.  

Just going to start posting this link on every article about ol’ Madison. He is an inveterate liar and an utter piece of shit.

“maybe a staffer in a parking garage, maybe 100 yards away.”

The “key bump” of cocaine is so weirdly specific that at the very least he seems pretty familiar with it 

Correct, there is no meaningful difference at this point.

Do not forget their tendency to make videos talking about their views posing in front of their gun collection, while holding a gun and or religious texts.

I have been thinking about this for some time.

Heaven’s sake dude, she’s basically just making lemonade out of lemons and downplaying a career disappointment by noting something else came along soon after. Sure, it’s a little trite, maybe even a little thoughtless if you’re so inclined, but if we reacted with seething fury every time an actor said something a…

Why so mad? It’s a very typical actor’s story; you don’t book a gig you tried hard to land, something else comes along, and you go with that. Save the hand wringing for something important. 

Just keep putting empty chairs on stage. Provided the networks stick to presenting debates regardless*, the GOP can either let Dems have unchallenged TV time or actually show up.
