    Yeah I’ve never been a fan of you have to pick sides between DeSantis or Disney. It’s part of the zero sum game political culture that we have.

    Agreed. Disney didn't do anything material to sink DeSantis. His campaign collapsed all by itself. Disney just stuck to its knitting, which I guess is to their credit.

    I can't have too much glee at Ron DeSatanist dropping out, but I can picture Mickie, Minnie, Donald and Goofy waving good-bye in a new commercial for Disney.

    Scary we only have Orange Jesus Mussolini and Nikky Haley left. What, is Trump going to put the White House presidential desk in his prison cell, rule it like some incarcerated Brazilian drug kingpin?

    To think no one has the guts outside of Colorado or Maine (which SCOTUS will likely overturn anyway?) to use the actual Constitution to keep Trump from running, and that so-called Christians (let's call them White Christian Nationalists) and con-men are his main backers.

    To be be blunt we have to elect the Democrat which barring something unusual is going to be Joe Biden.

    Biden is far from the perfect candidate. He’s older than rocks, he says and does goofy stuff. He has though gotten a lot of bipartisan legislation passed abided by Constitutional norms even when they’ve been in the way of his agenda.

    Even if he didn’t get any of that legislation passed I would still vote for him over Trump. What I said in 2020 is even more true now. I would vote for a toaster before I vote for Trump.

    Since 2020 Trump has proven to be more of a
    Grifter and even less respect for the Constitution or even national security of this country.

    LOL. Orange Jesus Mussolini indeed.

    Mussolini created his Fascist dictatorship not just as a counter to the powerful Italian left, but also as a desperate act to avoid prosecution, just like Trump is trying to do. Election Interference! Witch Hunt! I Won the Election! Full immunity!!!!! And, like Mussolini and his fascist allies using pardons of supporters to strengthen their position, Trump pardoned his criminal friends to help him try and steal the last election, and spread the propaganda and lies to his MAGA cult. He promises to pardon all his insurrectionists as well.

    Judge Dismisses Disney’s Suit Against Ron DeSantis
    Company had accused Florida governor of ‘targeted campaign of government retaliation’

    A federal judge Wednesday dismissed Disney's lawsuit alleging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his allies retaliated against the company for criticizing legislation he backed, a blow to the entertainment giant in its long-running battle with the governor.


    Disney sued the defendants over a pair of laws targeting a special tax district covering the land that houses Walt Disney World. At DeSantis’s urging, Florida’s Republican-led legislature effectively ended Disney’s control of the district—which lawmakers renamed the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District—and gave the governor the ability to handpick its five-member supervisory board.

    Disney alleged that the actions improperly retaliated against the company for opposing a DeSantis-backed law restricting classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation, violating Disney’s First Amendment rights. DeSantis and Republican lawmakers said their actions were aimed at reining in excessive privileges that Disney had secured over decades.

    In a 17-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor granted a motion to dismiss the case, saying that elements of Disney’s case both lacked standing and failed on the merits. It was a victory for DeSantis, who has been locked in a legal battle with Disney over corporate power, governmental control and freedom of speech.
