    Mickey burns a dragon. In Disneyland, not Disney World. An animatronic dragon that was doing battle with a magical Mickey caught fire during a show and burned to the ground. No doubt Little White Boots will use this instance to justify his actions in regards to Disney. "See! They can't be trusted!"

    Breaking News: Disney is suing Gov. Ron DeSantis and others after a panel of his allies voted to nullify Disney’s control over expansion at its Florida resort, claiming “a targeted campaign of government retaliation.”

    I think by this time the evidence is clear and the courts are not going to side with the government retaliating against corporations because of their feelings.

    Unfortunately Descumbag has the floriduh legislature under his wing like republican charlie christ and they will remove the restriction for Destupid to resign so he can run for president like they did for now democrat asswipe loser chuckles christ back when he wanted to be McCain's running mate.

    The Dems of floriduh are feckless republicans. Why else would your hero be Chucklefuck christ.

    Ok, first and foremost @Uncle Albert and @Bill Carson, do NOT ever again argue that there isn't a "don't say gay" bill. Cuz the fucking author of that bill refers to it as Don't fucking say gay!

    Second, Since 2015 when trump ON FUCKING STAGE and ON CAMERA admitted to bribing every politician on that stage and everyone one of them accepting those bribes, I do not understand how these fuckers are not punished for openly admitting to disobeying the law and getting away with it.

    These are he assholes who need to be shot or have someone kneeling on their neck!

    The people who did, named it the "Parental Rights in Education" bill, and I doubt whomever made that off the cuff remark was doing so with the intent of officially renaming it, so let's cut the shit here.

    Fixating on the bill's title vs its common vernacular is losing sight of the forest for the trees.

    And you're being pedantic for the sake of obfuscation -- I would very much suggest you call the American Healthcare Act 'Obamacare'.

    What’s going on in Florida is a banana republic, which is a bit unfair to banana republics. Since DeSantis has a supermajority in the legislature and the state courts, they will agree with everything he says/wants. You have to get to the federal judiciary, where you might run into an Obama judge, before any of this garbage gets challenged.

    Disney Chairman fires warning shot.

    (Courtesy MSN.com)

    During Disney's second quarter earnings callon Wednesday, CEO Bob Iger threw the latest punch, making a seeming threat to the state and its leader.

    "One question: Does the state want us to invest more, employ more people, and pay more taxes — or not?" he asked.

    "We've built a business that employs, as we've said before, over 75,000 people and attracts tens of millions of people to the state," Iger said.

    He added that that Disney is "the largest taxpayer in Central Florida," paying over $1.1 billion in state and local taxes last year.


    My only question is, what took them so long? :spock:

    Iger may regret giving out that dollar amount. If I was the head of a big tech firm that had substantial operations in a state and we were paying less in taxes than Disney, I’d be nervous that mine were about to go up.

    Maybe they'll ruin each other. Orlando residents tend to forget that if it weren't for Disney they'd still be nothing but cow pastures and orange groves. Central Florida's central inland region has nothing going for it...although it might good for trailer parks in the style of Zephyrhills or maybe The Villages.
