That's really not what he was saying. If you read the article, you'll find the title is pretty misleading. He's trying to act like Florida has all but "won" the lawsuit, and that Disney should, therefore, just give up. It's obviously a bluff, but he's not really saying "please stop."
"Psshhh, I have SO won this case, they might as well give up already. Not like they´d definitely bulldoze me curbstomp-style and then dance on my mangled remains, AT ALL. And since that´s not what´s gonna happen anyway, they´d better stop now because I´m winning so hard. Really. I`m so very winning, you guys!"
I have zero problems with regulating corporations. I just want those regulations to be for the public good. Yes you will pay your workers properly, no you can't dump toxic sludge in our water. What Meatball did was attempt to regulate them for his good, not the public. He wanted to enforce his vision. I would be just as upset if he had tried to force them to say include more diversity in their movies. Yes I personally would like Disney to do this, but my personal whims should not have the power of law.
You aren't really siding with Disney, you are siding against agenda driven regulations. And if that doesn't make you feel better just remember the ACLU defended Nazis right to freedom of speech.
Well when you basically have your ass saved in the 80's by the Lavenderest of musical writers who make the new foundation of your brand narratives of acceptance and love for the outsider with your flagship renaissance peice being a retelling of a Gay man's obvious pining for acceptance of a forbidden romance and then use that formula for practically every hit princess movie to follow... You are just a tad beholden?
He now realizes hes a stupid tool for his stupid party and his election campaign is not selling, once he losses that shit, he'll end up alone eating shit fighting lawsuits from all directions.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could just "Move on" and stop dealing with the problems from your past? Just like this guy Kyle who "Moved on" from owing me $2,000 and thinks that's the end of it.
It's worse than that. He's essentially saying that he successfully silenced Disney and they should just get over it. Total fascist rhetoric but completely on brand for that worthless fuckstain
omg lmaooo what a moron! i guess he's used to intimidating enemy prisoners of war in gitmo that can't fight back. now, that he personally went out of his way to start problems with some that can fight back, he wants to back out. dont start no shit, wont be no shit.
I am looking forward to the man getting shredded like bloody meat by a pack of hungry dogs in the primary, heading back to Florida, and to save himself from shame focuses only on small bitter things he can win. I want to watch him give impassioned speeches about renaming overpasses while every rival smells the stench of weakness on him.
The man who would be king reduced to appearing on Fox once every few years while having to buy his own ghostwritten autobiography just to keep it from being shredded.
"Look I know I called all these people groomers, which is a pretty serious accusation, and then used the power of the state that I run to strip them of some of the privileges they have, and explicitly said that I did that because they said something I don't like, but this is bumming me out can you just drop it? "
The concession Disney wants is Reedy Creek back under their control, and DeSantis will look even weaker than he already does if he pushes to reverse the law that took it from them in the first place.
He can't, and won't, concede anything, because if the court rules in Disney's favor he can at least blame the judiciary for the decision, so Disney won't, and shouldn't, stop hitting him with everything they got.
The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.
He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.
You've almost verbatim repeated what is in the headline. The only part you didn't repeat is, verbatim, a quote from Ron DeSantis. I'm lost as to what you find misleading.
I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.
"Look I murdered your son like a decade ago. If he were still alive he'd be old enough to drink at this point, let's just drop the charges and accept that life goes on.... just not for your son..."
Ron knows that the taxpayers with the newfound burden were less likely to vote for him anyway. Larger urban areas in Florida lean blue, rural areas are red. Ron will screw Orlando relentlessly to make panhandle voters happy.
Iirc the special district still exists, Desantis tried to get rid of it initially but backed out of that plan because it would have shifted financial burden to the counties where it’s located. Instead Florida passed a law changing it so Desantis could appoint the board and renamed the district.
DeSantis said. “They are suing the state of Florida. They are going to lose that lawsuit. So what I would say is, ‘Drop the lawsuit. You have the state that even CNBC ranks as number one of all 50 states for economy.”
-Looks up list of states with the highest GDP... Florida comes in forth place.
You have to make a decision. Either he's incredibly incompetent and incapable of accurately quoting one of the most basic stats a govenor should know about their own state or he lies so much that he's completely incapable of telling the truth, no matter how stupid the lie is.
Actually, you don't have to decide, it can be both. Dumb and evil. Door #3
Is that because Florida has no state income tax? Hmmm, I wonder how they're able to run their state budget? Hmmm, do you think it has anything to do with what goes on there in central Florida? Nah, I'm sure they're just doing a bang up job of running the place.
What an idiot. The Mouse does not forgive. The Mouse does not forget. DeSantis can't surely believe Disney are just going to give up and walk away after he threw down the gauntlet.
