    This jerk doesn’t represent the people of Florida and no politician has the guts to speak out against him, impeach the bumb.

    1. Chris

      Sadly, he did well during COVID, much better than our idiot governor out here in California.

      Then he got his feelings hurt and went on the attack.

      Unfortunately DeSantis actions squarely places Newsom in a better position to run for president and trust me when I say that would be very, very bad for our country. At this point I wouldn’t want DeSantis either.

      1. Hank

        FL had the 3rd highest dead toll! That can’t be call success, unless you own a funeral home

        1. Tjandra

          You’re right, Hank, but those people commenting about Covid are the deniers.

          1. N

            DESATAis a big fat PUNK..And I do live here.

        2. Ben

          Yep!

          1. Deb Moore

            I feel like Disneyland and DisneyWorld are where people go to leave the regular world behind & just have fun. DeSantis should leave it the heck alone & just try to run his state (which he is doing a really terrible job of). He doesn’t speak for the majority of Florida or he wouldn’t be having so many protests. Just saying…

        3. Leslie Lawrence

          The Mouse should be our Governor he at least has a personality

      2. Ed

        FYI florida had a higher rate pet population and inaccurate and incomplete reporting on COVID.

      3. Debra

        Florida has less people per capita then California, yet Florida was the third highest Covid infections in the country!!! He handed out vaccines to the wealthy 1st!!! He refused to let businesses keep their customers and staff healthy by banning common sense precautions that a business owner should have the say over, not the government taking a business rights away and fining them! He took money from schools for protecting the children and the teachers, yet teachers were LAST in getting vaccine. Our Frontline workers were given No respect!

      4. Amber

        Actually if you look at numbers Florida is pretty much middle of the road as far as covid is concerned. 25th. Even Trump says that. DeSantis going against Disney has put a bad taste in every American’s mouth. A huge majority of all Americans could care less if someone is gay or not.

      5. Chrissy

        It is very sad what his personal agendas are doing to the State of Florida because I have seen our freedom of anything go down the tubes. He never have spoken for me. And the Covid issue he did not do better because no one knows what he did. During Covid he needed to be Audited. I was cheated out of thousands and thousands of dollars. They keep denying me and I had a hearing and I was approved. The hearing officer says they have to pay you for almost the whole time of 2020. So I calculate everything its alot of money, I was being wrongfully turned down. So I claim the weeks but some of the weeks they didn’t want to pay for. I get an Attorney the unemployment states they ran out of money lol. So I contact the hearing officer back and says they are using the wrong term the governor pulled out of program. My point is even if he did pull out of the program the President stated that all States and their governor was left with Billions of dollars even when they pulled out of program lol. So this is the kicker when he shipped migrants to Martha Vineyard and the Government is not making him be ACCOUNTABLE in the lawsuit against him. If he ran out of money how could he take the interest of the money to ship migrants to Martha Vineyard if he ran out of money and still till this day paying past claims. I say the government needs to Audit every last penny of the Covid relief money and make him address the shipping migrants lawsuit.

        1. M

          I agree with you!

          1. Big Al

            Thank you governor for keeping the groomers in check!

        2. William Farmer

          To santa’s is a tyrant. All he cares about is his own agenda clearly is not thinking of Floridians he is a big baby acting out when he doesn’t get his way

      6. Jose

        We put de santis in unemployment. This make Easy for biden

      7. Xanadu

        The governors exercise control through the state adjutants general. Governors may call up the National Guard for active duty to help respond to domestic emergencies and disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes.

    2. MarMar

      Didn’t he win by a million and a half votes?

      1. Liz

        He is another dictator trying to become the President of dictators – when is he going to see that gay, bi, trans people and their families vote and we must be out in 2024

        1. Dave

          Another vindictive wanna be fascist dictator

          1. Desantis is NOT right for Florida! NOT right for a President!

        2. Jake

          The whole 0.024%. Yeah that represents a threat.

        3. Linda

          He won because the voter turnout was weak.
          He’s an ass trying to dictate his whims on the citizens of Florida. He does NOT have the backing of the citizens on the Disney mess he’s created, on free speech or the book debacle. He’s a dictator in waiting

          1. Kn

            I totally agree with you. He only won because of lack of voters in 2022

        4. Eric

          Fags

        5. Kevin

          Desantis didn’t go after Disney he went after reedy creek they are not the same,if you want true Analysis listen to legal mindset on YT

          1. bigaljay

            You go after Reedy Creek you go after Disney regardless of how someone on YT tries to reword or justify it…period!!!

      2. Pam

        Governor DeSantis has done alot of good for Florida but his vendetta against Disney will be his undoing. He should be doing more to promote an inclusive environment and let parents handle their children. Quit banning books and imposing his agenda on morality.

        1. David

          Hi Pam, please tell us, what good, exactly, has DeSantis done for Florida?

        2. Xanadu

          Right 85,000 Florida COVID deaths is doing as good job.

        3. Descant is win iOS just another lie. I think I would have received more votes considering the competition. Don’t forget he’s Trumps boy dumped on us.

      3. Well of course look at all the ancient old people who live in Florida don’t you think their life cycle is up of course they have a higher death sold in California California is a relatively Young in people

        1. Ed

          Disney should close down and move to NC as their gov has offered

          1. Kn

            The sad part that he to stupid to realize is if Disney leaves Orlando the money Florida would lose especially Orlando.

        2. Susan

          DeCrazy isno longer watching out for the people of Florida, he has taken away their biggest revenue, and is now going to cost them a fortune in taxes to replace it. And if you think not he just raised the taxes on Reedy Creek, that will not be enough to cover the cost of roads, police fire, utilities, yes utilities Disney set them up and you can bet Disney will take them down, not to mention Disney is not just going to hand over their community to Florida they will sue for value they will sue for it and win. Costing Florida more, welcome to the rest of the country Florida you will soon be paying state taxes. DeCrazy just needs to grow up and go home , take off his wet diaper and put on big boy pants. And if Floridians don’t take a stand they like Russia will be standing in line for toilet paper, compliments of it’s dictator. If buy some miracle DeCrazy wins the Republican nomination, the Democrats will win because die hard Trump voters will vote against him and the rest of the country are not idiots. Florida wake up he wants to tell you how to raise your kids, dictator, wants you to register before you speak out against him, dictator, he wants to break down your economy, he wants to arrest you if you drive a illegal alien across state lines which he approved himself doung by the bus load, all of these are for him.

        3. bigaljay

          That made no sense…more because they’re younger????

    3. Jake

      “This jerk doesn’t represent the people of Florida.”

      Do you deny his free and fair election? Insurrectionist.

      1. Tjandra

        Jake, there was nothing fair about DeSantis election. Just do a little research. Unfortunately, investigations are falling on deaf ears.

        1. Oh you mean the way Biden was elected which is complete BS they stole that election

          1. Henry VIII

            HAHAHAHAHA wow… still playing that tune? Either acknowledge the literal mountain of evidence that disagrees with you or take the L and move on.

          2. Michael

            Best governor ever!

          3. David

            Best because….?

          4. Ben

            Do you read anything besides fox news?

        2. Cricketeer

          Umm… You DO know what is going on with Andrew Gillum in Tallahassee at this very moment, right?!

      2. He was elected overwhelmingly in Florida and that will happen again so what are you talking about

        1. David

          Regardless of how overwhelmingly he was elected, this is still America and the expectation is that the Constitution is still the law of the land, including the 1str Amendment. This should not be a partisan issue – it doesn’t matter whether you agree with, like, hate, or couldn’t care less about Disney, it should bother every American to see a governor attack an organization for protected speech.

      3. Michael

        Best governor ever!

      4. I don’t recall a vote on Disney so how is “the will of the voters” in loved at all ,ronnie?

    4. Taylor Tarr

      Ahahahaha don’t hate the player,hate the game .

      1. Donna

        The issue here isn’t whether or not he handled covid properly. The issue here is that he feels he has the right to tell one of the major income contributors to Florida what they can say and cannot say and that is against their rights. He starts with them and then it will be us.

    5. Ralph

      You said it all thanks.rakph

    6. Tjandra

      Agree. They are wrong to claim that he’s acting on behalf of Florida residents.

      1. John

        I am LMAO at the semi glowing comparisons to California and Newscum.

        I have the perspective of being more of a native Californian, now Floridian, than you’ll find.

        If you think having 70,000 people living on the street in LA County and a 50 square block homeless rat and disease zone in downtown LA, is like here 😂

        If their soft on crime District Attorney is your pick, he refused to prosecute a convicted felon appropriately for a gun violation which would have put him in jail instead of being free to kill two police officers. You want that ?

        If you visit San Francisco, make sure you get one of the available POOP MAPS, so you won’t step in a welcome mat from the homeless.

        Newscum visited a school in Sarasota a couple weeks ago. Too bad he couldn’t have read some of the books he touts for schools like, Flamer. Here it would violate the law.

        He was probably here to visit some of the, like me, 685,000 who fled his state since he and the libs took over.

        Maybe the NY Gov will be next to see the 10,000 New Yorkers who fled her role since Jan 1.

        I hear some say DeSantis stole the election.

        At the time, Democrats had a 250,000 registration advantage, so how did that happen ?

        Apparently you think the Democrat should have won ?

        The Democrat who later was caught in a Miami hotel room with a male homosexual prostitute , drug dealer and drugs ?

        Also, during Covid, businesses were not prevented from having rules on Covid protection, there no were Covid rules for public places.

        Freedom of speech is a whole lot different that regulating school curriculum.

        Turning a bill on Parental Rights into Don’t Say Gay is the typical lib ploy to deflect from it’s purpose.

        Teaching K-12 is primarily about Reading, Writing and math, not CRT, Transgender issues, and Gender reassignment by people with an education degree not an MD.

        As for the Reedy Creek agreement.

        I’m not aware of any other such place that can operate a government with rules that differ from any other place in the state.

        Before you say cities, incorporated cities or counties cannot make laws that conflict with state laws and statutes.

        Have a nice day.

      2. Michael

        Best governor ever!

        1. Ben

          Michael has Very limited vocabulary

        2. ROGER D STEVENS

          So was George Wallace, Right?

    7. James

      Florida is the equivalent of a rabid raccoon, except the racoon deserves to be treated with love and respect. Florida voted for Desantis, they get what they voted for…

      1. Melissa

        Over 3 million of us did NOT vote for DeSantis and don’t support what this lunatic is doing to our state.

    8. Move out Florida!

    9. Maria

      I agree

    10. Michael

      Ur next president you liberal fool

    11. Risa

      Agree!

    12. Kathy

      He says that takingrights away from Disney was what he had the right to do because no company in the state should have this much enjoy the same kind of deal , so he tries to screw Mackey mouse while nascarenjoys the special deal and so does the beer company ,,,,,I hope the mouse takes him down

    13. TTFN

      I agree that the Governor and his lackeys in state government are acting in spite and not what’s best for Florida. Such radical changes should be put to a vote by the citizens of Florida.

    14. Robert

      He got like 60% of the vote- so yeah, he does represent us Floridians.
      He a “bumb”? Lol!!!!
      Use spell check next time.

    15. Val

      I was thinking the same thought DITTO!

  2. Brryan

    It’ got a name… “Putins Law”! Agree or go to jail!

    1. Stag

      Must be all Democrats replying

  3. Brryan

    Desantis the Dicktator!

    1. Did you graduate high school you certainly don’t spell very well

      1. Henry VIII

        Did you? Punctuate.

      2. Robert

        Is he “bumb” as well?

    2. Robert

      Is he “bumb” as well?

  4. So much for Republicans “Pro Business and Freedom”. All DeSantos knows is to Take Away freedoms! Add them up!

    1. DeSantis isn’t fit to Govern this State or any other…he has some mental health issues taking on a giant like Disney. Disney has made billions for Florida’s over the years.

      1. Devon

        That’s WHY he’s taking on Disney. They are a giant, and the should NOT being throwing their weight around in politics- especially since they had gotten LOTS of exemptions that benefitted them! They forgot who helped them get to the top- and they forgot what it was all about MAKING CHILDREN HAPPY!
        Disney was being a bully, and say what you will but parents and even adult fans don’t like the agenda Disney has been pushing. It’s why a lot of their movies aren’t making the $ they used to. People want to be entertained, not preached to…. And small children should NOT be part to ANY sexual discussion, be it straight, gay, or otherwise. Disney spites the children to pacify the weirdos of society. Desantis reminded them that they aren’t that powerful after all.

        1. Henry VIII

          You really have swallowed the flavor-aid, huh?
          Disney is not a governmental organization. They are allowed to say whatever they want, just like you.
          DeSantis (and the GOP) decided to start legislating their morality and when Disney (very tepidly) said maybe we shouldn’t ostracize an entire group of people, DeSantis then started using governmental powers to attack a business that only exercised it’s 1st Amendment right.
          Doesn’t matter what mental hoops you jump through to justify all this, it is what it is.

        2. Kn

          Devon, you sound crazy and Disney has every right just like anyone to speak on what they want. That man goes against anyone who do not agree with him. He blocked the Rays building in Tampa because they didn’t agree with him. Disney is a very well rain machine that doesn’t bother Florida to pay for anything they have in Reddy Creak. Him bother Disney to pay for all Disney has from their own electricity, police, fire department, gas stations, water department, they even cover their own streets being taken care off and more the tax payers will cover that by raises the taxes. This also can affect people jobs. Disney has some undeveloped land that the dummy wants to build a prison on. Who in the hell builds a prison around a theme park. desanass is stupid

        3. David

          Have you heard of the Constitution? The 1st Amendment?

          In America organizations and individuals are PROTECTED from the government punishment for speaking against the government and government policies.

          If Disney was a bully and people didn’t like their message and their product, they wouldn’t be making billions on top of billions. People don’t need DeSantis protecting them.

          Disney is going to remind DeSantis that this is America and in America, the government takes a back seat to our rights. And it appears a few Americans need that reminder too.

    2. Well move then it’s 49 other states to go to with a lot of blue states included

  5. Walt

    Iger supports chairman Winnie the Pooh in China. Lets see one elected and supported by legislature. One a communist who has murdered tens of thousands and rules on any whim he sees fit. Yup you people got things in perspective. Oh and lets see who Bobby Woke Iger is supporting???? Chairman Winnie. Yup you have a firm grasp on reality.

    1. William Meyer

      LOL 😂…. completely duped, huh?

    2. Walt Jr

      This comment is Sumer than a sack of rocks

    3. Adam

      In a battle between Disney or DeSantis I support Disney even if they are a soul grabbing corporate monster

      1. Devon

        Then…. Why?

      2. Devon

        “soul grabbing monsters”? Then…. Why? Why support them?

    4. LOL that’s a good one and the funniest thing about it is the truth

    5. Ben

      Throwing there weight around?, by using free speech?

      1. Keith

        Disney, go back where you came from…California! You were a joke in ’74 and still are. Bunch of cartoon characters in suits! Glad my kids never begged to go to Disney. Reedy creek…now there’s another
        piece of work. Governor, give ’em what for!

  6. Kris

    DeSantis is the most anti-business person out there

  7. Francis

    When Disney takes them 100,000 jobs out of Florida alot of family will be hurt and I will be able to drive to Disney with out flying to Florida great job desatan

    1. Peggy

      I wish they would start looking for another state to add a third park and when it’s complete . Pull up stakes from Florida. Serves them right not pushing back against this type of authoritarian policy. Disney corporation is considered a entity under the law as such had constitutional protections

      1. Devon

        Desantis wanted to create a bill that protected children 3rd grade and younger from predatory teachers pushing confusing sexual ideology in them. These kids are 9yrs and younger. Even though the bill strictly talked about “sex” being prohibited materials, Disney DID push back and nicknamed it the “don’t say gay” bill even though the bill never said anything about gay sex specifically as it just sought to ban talk about ANY sex. The reason Desantis started messing with Disney was because they basically are granted the same exemptions bestowed upon the Vatican, yet they butted their nose and threw around their weight when it came to politics. If you want to be sovereign and exempt from taxes, then you should be sovereign and exempt from political discussions. Disney’s job was to make children happy, not fight to indoctrinate them.

        1. Henry VIII

          GOP sure has a weird obsession with children. And sex.

        2. Fr d Savegry

          Except it now covers all grades and books are now being removed from libraries because crack pots see hidden messages in EVERYTHING! Find a new hero pal.

        3. Annne falcone

          There are no predatory teachers!
          Disney’s job is to make money like any corporation. They are an asset to Florida.

        4. Please Stop

          I’m curious if you have one example of this material being taught in elementary? Solving problems that don’t exist doesn’t really make you a good governor. In theory Desantis is 100 percent correct about children of that age shouldn’t be learning about any type of sex, but trying to convince people that’s what is happening is absolutely non sense. I’ll like to see this governor tackle the home owners insurance in Florida. That’s a really problem that people are living with.

        5. Lucid

          Absolutely right 👍👍👍

        6. David

          Two words for you Devon: FALSE NARRATIVE.

    2. MarMar

      Those parks aren’t going anywhere.

    3. kn

      It’s not just Disney jobs it is also everything else around Disney like the hotels, entertainment establishments, resorts, rental homes, universal studies and sea world would suffer

  8. Francis

    When Florida loss 100,000 jobs great

  9. Your face

    Geeze, this is getting out of hand, how are they not suing for harassment? He’s mentioned on Maultiple times how he is going after this company that’s not only a HUGE money maker for the state but a global leader… this company has other companies come to Disney World to learn how to be a better company training new leaders all the time.

    If I was Disney that 5th park they wanted to open might be time to look at other states/ countries since Florida wants to make it hard fine. They have MANY other states and countries that would jump at the idea of having a global theme park.

    1. Jake

      Yes, like freedom havens like New York, and Illinois, maybe Michigan.

      Don’t let the door hit you in the way out.

      1. Rose

        What freedom do you have now, you did’n have before?
        I’m just curious.

        1. Fr d Savegry

          They’ll never answer that. There’s literally not a single thing you can do in Florida that you can’t do in those states they mentioned.

  10. Tom

    The messages coming from the governor’s office keeps saying Disney is undermining the voters of Florida, but I have yet to see anything on a ballot that would support the State of Florida’s position on this matter. It isn’t a voice of the people when it’s only being decided by Governor DeSantis and his cronies that are in Tallahassee. Quit saying it’s the will of the people, when the people of the State of Florida haven’t been asked to weigh in on the matter.

    1. WKR

      Where does he get this “will of the people” crap? I don’t remember being asked what my will was.

      1. Ben

        Throwing there weight around?, by using free speech?

    2. Jake

      And what was the margin of Desantis’ win? 1.5 million, in a state work a population of 21 million.
      Yup, will of the people.

    3. Winks

      Tom– well said!

    4. NellieFly

      🎯

  11. MarMar

    Crazy how leftist want to suddenly fight for corporations.

    1. MP

      It’s even crazier when woke politicians are all pissed off because one of the largest donors slapped their wallet shut
      All because of a man who forgot to follow the money.

    2. PopPop

      Yeah. Also crazy how the christo-fascist GOP wants to suddenly raise taxes on anyone for any self-serving reason and apparently they no longer have any philosophical dilemma with aggressively expanding big-government reach into unprecedented territories while also fighting and arguing against the legality of 1st ammendment rights that they no longer believe in?

      Like you said. Crazy.

  12. Skip

    DeSantis is simply mad at Disney because they disagreed with his homophobia. Since the Fl. legislature gives him anything he wants, he is using the State resources to punish them. If you consider his misuse of the power he has as governor, you should be terrified of his gaining the power of the Presidency. Be forewarned.

    1. SomeGuy

      Meatball Ron ain’t gonna win $H1T. His Presidential ambitions are a joke.

    2. Kobina

      This is a bit out there .. remember the ex-Gov from Alabama that negatively hated Blacks.. This reminds me over his tantrums which look similar to DeSatan hate for Mickey… :-))

    3. Jake

      Desantis for President 2028. KAG – Keep America Great, copyright, me.

      1. Tom

        Jake works for Talahasse Ron.

  13. Orlando

    Since went the people of Florida vote to dissolve Reddy creek like DeSanti mention disney did not want to follow what the people of Florida want

    1. Jake

      Went (sic) you voted Ron Desantis as Governor by a 1.5 million margin.

      Sorry, it’s a red state, you can always leave.

      Keep Florida Beautiful, out a Yankee on the bus.

      1. Adam

        Can’t wait for Disney and other business to unit and hit the Governor where it hurts, the wallet

    2. Joan

      I did not vote to dissolve Reedy Creek

  14. J.E.

    Never DeSantis. DeSantis and his “army of lawyers ” are going to cost Florida millions and possibly billions ( if DW ) decides to move out of Florida

    1. Jake

      Say when….

  15. Donna

    What I want to know is how much is this costing the taxpayers of Florida. This council spoke to 4 different Las firms. That does not come cheap.

  16. William SFLA.

    De Satan does not represent the will of the people of Florida! He is representing his own Will on Florida. If he represents us why didn’t he come down to flooded south Florida? Hmmm maybe cause he’s to busy flying around representing himself.

    1. Jake

      So, you deny the free and fair election of Governor Desantis. That makes you an insurrectionist.

      1. duh

        Then I guess Joe Biden represents the will of the American people.

  17. Marvin Jones

    He do not speak for me.He is speaking for him self not me as a citizen of fli.

  18. Bret

    He doesn’t care about the businesses he only cares about winning.

    1. Jake

      Neither does the “business.”

      Their stock prices have halved while they worried about “princesses” with XY chromosomes, instead of business.

      1. Tjandra

        Jake, we know you have a hardon for DeSantis. It’s obvious by your response here in this thread. Hate to burst your bubble, stocks recover and especially Disney! Disney isn’t going anywhere.

  19. WKR

    Where does he get this “will of the people” crap? I don’t remember being asked what my will was.

    1. Jake

      The 1.5 million margin in his election is a good start.

    Personally I’d like Governor DeSantis to really focus on doing more to legitimately change the direction of the homeowner insurance crisis in Florida. As a Floridian this battle with Disney will not help Floridians keep their homes & stop insurers from exiting the state. Truly moving the dial in a positive direction around the insurance crisis is a battle worth fighting for on behalf of Floridians!

    1. Tjandra

      That’s hilarious. He’s had two special sessions to address the insurance crisis and claims he has addressed when we ALL know he hasn’t done anything to help residents out.

    WDW put Orlando on the map, essentially in a literal sense. When I went to a HS conference my sr year (1972), our local host was so excited to tell us to take the new, *2nd* exit off the Turnpike. Then I worked there in lower level mgt in early 80s. Living in Orlando then, I D/R how many exits there were, but barely 10 yrs post-WDW, there were a lot of them, plus I-4, 495 and Int’l Drive.

    Mickey has owned Orlando all these years, for better or worse. WDW revenue has done wonders for the state. That this little punk DeSatASS thinks he can win is beyond belief. He continues to show his petty ego and arrogance at every opp. He will *never* be POTUS; he and Pence have same fantasy and both will meet the same political dead end. Yes, WDW was given a lot of power way back … but no entity is more motivated to keep its parks safe, clean, and open to all. To repeat: WDW *made* Orlando and Fla the tourist mecca that it is — quit trying to kick Mickey’s teeth in.

      So, by you deluded thinking, the evil mouse made Tampa, Pensacola, Miami, and Jacksonville?

      Hahahahahaha….

      Air Conditioning made Florida.

      1. Tjandra

        Again, Jake, you can’t deny what Disney has done for the state. Suck it up, buttercup, DeSantis will lose this battle. And your dreams of him being president will never come to fruition. His time is up as Gov. once this term is over. 🤣🤣🤣

  22. Erik R

    If this is “the will of the people of Florida”, then Disney should stop giving them discounts to the park they don’t like.

    1. Jake

      Who cares, most Florida residents, even those in Orlando don’t visit Disney.

      When I was younger, I took my sister, who was raised her whole life in Orlando, to Disney. That’s the only time she’s ever been in her 30 year life.

      1. Tjandra

        You can’t speak for all Floridian’s. They are the biggest employer in the state! It doesn’t matter if no one in this state goes to Disney. Outsiders do and FL is completely reliant on tourism!!

  23. MP

    It’s even crazier when woke politicians are all pissed off because one of the largest donors slapped their wallet shut
    All because of a man who forgot to follow the money.

  24. Jake

    Public business, they issue stock, which has declined by half since March 2021.

    Maybe that business should focus on making money for their stockholders, their ONLY job, and leave politics out of it.

  25. Taylor Tarr

    They represent such a small percentage that you could completely remove thier votes and it wouldnt be noticed

  26. Elizabeth Gonzalez

    It’s pretty sad how someone who wants to be in charge and doesn’t like others to have power will hurt anyone or anything that stands in his way. I thought the Governor of a state was for the people not out for himself. Now, I know why I don’t like politics….

  27. Kenneth Fett

    Mixin church and state is what this gov is doing. When did that become ok? Wanna attack disney and books and lgbqt. But yet not a word about tge strip club capitol of tge world. Or keyest fantasy fest. Funny how he can attack 1 and not another. Hmmm sem like the lil boy is mad so hes gonna bully disney..

  28. David

    I have visited Orlando many times. If The governor takes continues in the manner he is doing, I will personally walk away with my wallet and ask Disney to find a new home when I will go with my wallet.

  29. CindyB

    I am a Florida voter and no one asked me what I thought or gave me an opportunity to vote

    1. KJ

      Wasn’t DeSantis just re-elected by the voters of Florida knowing he might pull something like this given he’s been courting the crazy vote for President for some time now?

  30. KJ

    DeSantis has been pretty clear that his actions are retaliation. I’m sure that will play in Disney’s favor in the lawsuit. Unfortunately, the taxpayers of Florida will end up footing the bill for the governor’s ongoing showboating tantrum.

  31. Bill Pfeiffer

    Best Governor ever!

    IF IT AINT BROKE – YOU DON’T FIX IT.!!!!

    GOVERNOR – ACT YOUR AGE AND STOP ACTING LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.!!@!

  33. Greg

    Do your homework on Disney. They’ve shafted American workers by bringing in workers from foreign countries and forcing the American workers to train them. If the American workers refused they would lose their severance, benefits, and pension.
    If Disney would have kept their mouth shut and stayed out of politics and not gone woke then none of this world have happened. No decent moral family wants to take their family to a place where there’s a bunch of people with mental problems that can’t figure out what gender they are. There’s only 2 genders that’s it.
    Reedy Creek was to only be a 5 or 10 year deal to start out with. Not 50 years. Disney has gotten to big for their britches. No place can operate like a state within a state. It’s time to reel them in and that’s what DeSantis is doing. Blame Disney not DeSantis.

    1. Fr d Savegry

      Tell us you love fascism without telling us you love fascism. You just made up that first part and as far as Disney keeping their mouth shut….all they said was that the “don’t say gay” bill was discrimination. And your hero Ronald McSantis lost his sh!t because he’s a weak chinned bully and now it’s blowing up in his face.

    2. Maria

      He’s acting like a child that didn’t get his way. So now he’s on the attack to try to prove a point. So he doesn’t care about the people. The harm it will cost them. Just to get his way. So it’s all about himself. Not the tax payers

  34. Daniel

    When did we Florida voters vote for this ?

  35. Woke is an adjective meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination”. No mention of liberals or blue and red. Politicians like DeSantis use the term frequently to point out a liberal bias. Desantis is a bully who has used the office of governor to promote his own agenda and political goals. I hope WDW smokes DeSantis.

  36. Maria

    He’s acting like a child that didn’t get his way. So now he’s on the attack to try to prove a point. So he doesn’t care about the people. The harm it will cost them. Just to get his way. So it’s all about himself. Not the tax payers

  37. Shawn

    Dictator Desantis doesen’t care about the people here. He see’s Disney as a big dollar sign and he wants a chunk of it. That’s his goal and why he is so obsessed with his puppet government running the board. He want’s control of tax money, probably so he can take some of it for himself like every other politician. He’s a leech, just another parasite. Anyone that votes for him will only find him in thier own pockets eventually. And he still isn’t good leadership material. I mean why is a State Governor overseas in the first place?

  38. Shawn

    Don’t worry, they will pay for it with taxes. Oh wait, many of the people down there are too stupid to realize they are the taxes. Dictator Desantis will be in their pockets soon enough. I wouldn’t be surprised if he implements an income tax.

  39. Chris

    Waaaaaaaa , cry us a river jess Colby. Disney had no business getting involved in parental rights and now they lose 😅😅😅😅 desantis is doing a fine job destroying the woke, get over yourself

    1. Ben

  40. Bentley

    I live in Fort Myers Ron DeSantis is ( Brat ) he’s that little kid who takes his football and goes home to Mommy. I hope Disney moves to another friendly state that would be priceless to See Minnie and Mickey Packing their bags and Flying away on Rainbow Airlines.

  41. Brenda

    DeSantis is saying that he speaking for the people in his dispute with Disney. He is not speaking for me or most Orange County residents when our taxes will mist likely be raised because of this dispute. He is a spoiles brat.

  42. Lucid

    Is everyone a federal government propaganda bot. Ron Desantis won the governor election by a staggering 20% over the DemocRAT. It is becoming clear that the hastily created interested MRNA vaccine has many unexpected side effects. Florida has more elderly and retired person with numerous comorbidaties compared to other states. Look at NY and the nursing home deaths. Look at Newsom in Cali dining out with friends while telling everyone to quarantine. Look at Pelosi getting hair and nails done while telling everyone to quarantine. This is all a power and money grab for the rolling and elite class. This is all intentional. Ron Desantis is clear, level headed, with fantastic family values and proper governorship of the state. He is clearly protecting kids from indoctrination and grooming. Who in their right mind would teach a 1st grader about sexuality. Their brain is still developing they did not fully develop their personality and awareness. Are we really abdicating that what should ask these kids about their identity and sexuality.

  43. Chaz

    Floriduh is a bloody mess. Sea level rise, skyrocketing insurance, extreme traffic, sewage in the water, and dying ecosystems. Poorly educated rednecks are controlling our future. God (the real one) help us!

  44. HatingOnMeatballs

    DeSantis is a fascist joke of a governor, Florida is about to be one big swamp when the sea levels continue to rise (some places there already are) and Ron has nothing better to do than engage in the Republican parties ridiculous brand of culture wars and identity politics. Oh and persecute, lie to and trick migrant familes just trying to improve their lives, locking up people who speak up about his fudging of the number of Floridians dead with COVID, and taking abuse from Trump. His state is hellscape of opioid and meth addicts and big lie believers. Those mentioned in the last sentence are listed by their intelligence in order of highest to lowest. DeSantis is below them, even. Why does Florida continue to elect morons like Ron and Tim Scott as governor? No clue, I don’t live there, thank goodness.

  45. Tk

    Florida is living in the twighlight zone. Sad how many people will be out of work thanks to Desantos.

  46. Bob

    As a Florida victim of this madness, I cannot express the horrible sinking feeling I have for the future of the state. Our reputation is shot. He and his crusader cronies will never be forgiven or forgotten.

  47. De Santis spent thousands of our tax money foolishly. Taking vetted immigrants to Martha Vineyard from Texas. Think he is trying to put back the loss. Yes, he cannot tell us what to say. That is our constitutional right, first amendment.

  48. Bob

    He wears white Go Go boots. His hand movements are silly. He hates gays. All signs of repressed anxiety and guilt. Are we missing something?

    1. ROGER

      He lost his feather Boa

  49. mike mcguire

    DeStopo with his Lapdogo has hidden all covid information, choosing to attack low-hanging fruit instead. Thank God for Disney.

  50. Anon

    Jesus Christ, the DeSantis cronies coming in here in full swing and making whataboutisms up all over the place makes this comment section a venerable hellscape of insanity.

  51. Cynthia Gelmirez

    If Disney would not have tried to interfere with Governor DeSantis doing his job in protecting the children and parents rights in the school system – Disney would not be dealing with the situation they caused.

    I guess Disney needed attention. And I would guess the attention they needed was to add some focus on what Disney wanted to accomplish. In their out of the way attack on Floridians and the Governor – they presented Governor DeSantis with the idea there were some issues he needed to address with Disney.

  52. Robin

    Desantis only wanted to keep the sexual predators in the schools from teaching sex to children. Nothing to do with don’t say gay. Disney should apologize to Desantis and parents.

  53. Don Marshall

    Simple solution. The new board should create an advisory council composed of multiple vendors, the RCID FD, the OCSO, & chaired by a board member.

  54. ROGER D STEVENS

    This guy reminds of George Wallace. What a piece of crap!

  55. Chip

    DeSantis is mad because he got his feelings hurt with someone talking back against his bill. It is a personal fight against Disney no matter what he says!! I hope the lawsuit works.

  56. R. Thompson

    For those of us who have dealt with Disney in an economic and environmental aspect. I say they have and are dishonest and corrupt in many ways. The comments I reviewed are not from people who have lived here for many years. And I would invite those that believe our Governor is insufficient in his duties as Governor. Please take you and your group the hell out of Florida. New York, California, Michigan, Connecticut those are some of the states that are more aligned to your dumb leftist thinking. Pack now, leave soon.

  57. Marie

    Why is the governor going after the reedy creek development agreement and the the similar one a ailable to The Villages or to the Daytona area…both of which are similar in nature?

  58. Scott M

    Disney should just pull out of Florida and go where they’re appreciated! See what he does when 100-150, people are out of work

  59. Larry W Jordan

    DeSantis hereafter gets a “NO” vote from me as a Florida citizen. Only a liar reneges on a contractual agreement!!
