“we want free markets...”  except for when those markets don’t align with our christo-facist pogroms.  lulz.

And DeSantis’ derangement isn't as disfunctional, making him more dangerous.

Did they verify the crime stats? That one can be tricky when they are very recent changes.

It’s more disturbing that he wants to run all of a America like a dictator savior for white southern people. If anyone votes for him you can fuck off!

Maybe he’ll get a starring role in “Governor Dumbo”, the elephant with the giant ears who flies around the state making sure nobody wakes up.

Like you said, he’s supposed to be Trump without the Trump, but as soon as he opens his mouth about anything actually relevant in policy he has no idea what he’s talking about and has zero charisma. I truly cannot wait to see him and Trump on a debate stage just to see this sanctimonious asshole get torn to pieces by…

“DeSantis is essentially stripping Disney of its special privileges, and in doing so, forces Disney to abide by municipal and taxation laws in the state of Florida”

Yeah. Disney shouldn’t have its little feifdom to get around building codes and environmental laws.

FYI (once again): The Dr. Emilio imposter account posting here in this thread is NOT the long-established account user known in the Giz family.

“That new Marvel film had two dudes holding hands in the background. Also, why does everybody in Wakanda need to be black? Your permit to repave the parking lot at Animal Kingdom has been denied because you’re too woke.”

So yeah, after what happened at New College of Florida and how DeSantis pushed one of his cronies as the new Dean and they immediately doubled the salary, I was curious how the list of sycophants would profit from this.

Authoritarianism has now so thoroughly permeated US politics that DeSantis is bragging that he’ll use his new political power over Disney to influence what kind of movies they make. I never dreamed that we would see that in America.

Don’t forget the part that set him off before the conservative former disney CEO voiced half-hearted opposition to the bill was that the company temporarily suspended campaign donations to Florida GOP members.

And it turns out Oklahoma City has a higher crime rate than both at 43 per thousand residents. But I guess they don’t have enough black and brown people to blame that shit on, so you’ll never hear the right talk about that shit.

In 2019, Lightfoot was able to bring together a coalition, which propelled her into office by over seventy percent of the vote. Then she managed to antagonize key parts of that coalition, not understanding the balance between governing with an iron fist and an open hand. “My way or the highway” is not a viable…

Crime has been rising EVERYWHERE since the pandemic. Not just in cities, either.

Ken Griffin just got tired of dumping money into right wing politics in a blue state.

Thanks for saving me the time. I feel the move had more to do with MAGASantis than Lightfoot and Chicago crime.

Was one rising at the time? Otherwise I assume it was just a PR spin on a move that was previously planned or wanted.

“Businesses also left the city, as Ken Griffin did with his hedge fund Citadel, citing violence as the reason for relocating his company’s headquarters to Miami.”
