The Mouse, The Loser and The Sniveling Meatball
 

Who knew that Mickey Mouse was such a badass? Disneycorp is going to take little Ronnie DeSanctisimo out into the 'Glades and feed him to Wally Gator if he doesn't watch his step.

The developement of Disney World was financed by CIA operatives, and their bankers. It's a matter that can be verified in public records.

Mickey is a bonified bad ass.

Budweiser's ability to yank everyone's chain with their ads, not conicidence at all. The Budweiser CEO's resume includes a 7 year run as a top CIA administrator / analyst.

Just saying. I can bring references later.

You sound nuts.

I can verify my statement about Budweiser. I'll dig for the Disney World history after a while.

Okay, here's a primer on the background of Disney World.

The source may seem sketchy, but you can verify their claims with simple Google searches.

The CIA brought Disney World into existence just as a financial investment / local influence measure.

The powers that be will hand DeSantis his own ass. He's not going to be president.

Look, I don't see how Budweiser has anything to do whatsoever with this topic other than to possibly derail this thread. It's a pattern with you. Please refrain, OK?

Agreed that those two are very sketchy, indeed. As to their source? I'll have to read the book, I guess.

Probably got triggered by that beer can.

I probably should've said that in a pm. Sorry 'bout that Big El. :o

It's all good Bob.

Somebody was talking about the Bud thing on another thread, couldn't find it.

Danke, big guy.

Here it is in wikipedia;

Disney World is basicly a corporate nation/state exempt from control or over-sight from the State of Florida. It was structured that way for economic reasons, personal and corporate gain.

The people involved were anti-Castro operatives. They are still involved with the company.

Here it is from the Wallstreet Journal;

DeSantis has become too big for his britches, and the splintering of the GOP involves the CIA somehow. Not sure what the end game is, maybe it's just about money.

Money, power, influence, the usual suspects.
Makes for a circular firing squad amongst common allies separated by self-interested greed.

I don't know what DeSantis was thinking trying to take on the Mouse. As governor he should realize the revenue Disney brings to his state not to mention the jobs. Seems to me DeSantis is doing everything he can to prove that he is not up to the task of being president.

Who's looking at this dictatorial retaliation interference and thinking "that's where our new business should be set up"?

He has provided proof already by his comprehensive book banning.

As big a fan as you are of Putin, I thought you'd be defending the fascist actions of Vladimir Puddin' down in Florida.

Whoa whoa whoa

How's come you can talk about Putin, but I can't talk about Budweiser ?

Ron D was trying to show he can out tRump tRump. He thinks the popularity he enjoys in his little pond will carry nationwide. Trouble (for him) is the MAGA is fully entrenched in TFG. IMO it's what keeping him from going, at least so far, head-to-head against TFG. Funny how he stated that he wouldn't participate in any extradition of tRump when tRump said he'd surrender on his own. He's keeping his white stallion (to ride in and save the party post tRump, in the stable for now.

The New Republican Party is telling the country what to expect.

Some like the Don T and Ron D show are out front with what to expect. Others are hiding it, waiting to when they are in control..

Look no further then to States where they have a Super majority, or how issues like Abortion, voting rights, Jan 6, Guns....

One party rule. The fav of dictators everywhere. Next time Tennessee will throw the uppity Democrats in prison....if not out a window....

Look how they yo yo the right wing.

With stuff like the Budweiser Ads. (oops...it's related..I swear)

$5 billion boycott with Ted Nugent and Kid Rock in an up roar.

Then, oh, Bud's part of the backbone of the GQP money. It was like oops, but look at the call and response effect. Immediate response to a yank on the nose chain.

Budweiser CEO, revolving door with the Central (powers that be).

The mouse strikes back at Ronnie DeSanctis.

https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...ney-complaint1

If Ronnie DeSanctis doesn't settle this will likely be the shortest jury deliberation ever.

I sure hope he doesn't. This dude and his cabal of reichwing lunatics in the Florida legislature needs to enjoy an epic public spanking by Goofy and crew.

This despicable attack on Disney Corps' First Amendment rights is the very definition of government actors punishing free speech. Gov. Ron DeSantis is a petty thug picking a fight he can't possibly win.

Its amazing to me that while Gym Jordan and his crew of misfits and crooks are looking for weaponization of our government, WTF is this. If there ever was a situation of an elected government trampling on the rights of a private entity, this is it.

Besides if they are successful, who the hell is going to pay the suddenly ballooned property taxes that Disney has been footing so far.

I'd much rather have The Government focused on trampling the rights of a large corporation than my rights as a person..

So, as long as you can run faster than the other guy you don't worry about the bear chasing you?

Libertarians give me hives. (grin)

Corporations are people too.
For the people, by the people and of the people.
What the heck, you can even incorporate yourself for added protection (taxes). (GRIN)

Nailer omitted to mention which government, Fed, State or County/City does the trampling, because it all depends on who is doing it.

At the Fed level, one can appeal to the SCOTUS.
At the state level, one can appeal to the Feds.
A the local level, best plan to move out.

(GRIN)

They're all governments.

And in my other post was speaking to individual rights, not corporate.

I'll give you an E for effort though. (insert big grin emoji here)

Thanks for the compliment. The country I hail from which I will not reveal (BIG grin), a Grade E denotes Excellent, kid you not. (An even BIGGER grin)

The grades were A, B, C, D & E,.
Not sure of the grading system these days.

Michael Hiltzik of the LA Times chimes in...

"No one needs to pay hard-earned cash to be entertained by a Disney product anymore.

Not as of Wednesday, when the giant entertainment conglomerate filed a federal lawsuit to quash the efforts of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to punish it for speaking out against DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” law.

The 77-page legal complaint, filed in federal court in Gainesville, Fla., aims to stop what it terms “a targeted campaign of government retaliation — orchestrated at every step by Gov. DeSantis as punishment for Disney’s protected speech.” LA Times

Disney and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are locked in a blood feud over a peculiar tract of land with a wild history.

HEY MAGA's!
 

Worried about tRumpy in jail (or skipping to Russia)? Worried about having no MAGA leader? Don't despair...

Welcome to DeSantis!

Maybe one of the funniest things I have ever seen on this forum is Bob talking about somebody derailing one of his moronic threads.

(yawn) Who left the gate open? Anywho....

"The potential creation of over 2,000 jobs in the city of Orlando has been scrapped as Disney continues to feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, The New York Times reported.


Disney’s chief executive Bob Iger and the company's theme park and consumer products chairman Josh D’Amaro have pulled the plug on a nearly $1 billion office complex that was scheduled to be built in Orlando -- a project that would have brought over 2,000 jobs with high salaries.

"The project, known as the Lake Nona Town Center, was supposed to involve the relocation of more than 1,000 employees from Southern California, including most of a department known as Imagineering, which works with Disney’s movie studios to develop theme park attractions," The Times' report stated. "Most of the affected employees complained bitterly about having to move — some quit — but Disney largely held firm, partly because of a Florida tax credit that would have allowed the company to recoup as much as $570 million over 20 years for building and occupying the complex.""

2000 high paying jobs will be staying here in commieland. (rolls eyes)
