I hope Mickey Mouse kicks DeSantis out of Florida this living bully need to be gone.
My question to whomever when is the state going to do something about house and auto insurance
His base will still applaud him for the tough guy act. They don’t care about any follow up or if it was even true to begin with. This is the new political strategy…grandstanding and hateful rhetoric.
Disney thinks they own Florida well they don’t and it would be so nice to see they leave and if you New Yorkers don’t like it move back to you great state. We have the best governor bc he doesn’t take no shit. And also bc he is not a democrat so if you think it’s so bad down here move why did you move here I. The first place. And as far as insurance read the laws he put into affect before you go mouthing off. About Florida
@Sue I was trying to figure out if you are a Russian bot or not. Yet your argument is based on attacking those that criticize DeSantis.
The only reason I live in Florida is because I have business here which happens to be insurance.
Your last statement is false. The governor and his rubber stamp legislature actually gave property and casualty companies more ways to get out of storm claims. They asked for lowering of rates and this was clearly stipulated they do not have to comply with.
So in the end he did what most politicians do which is cave to special interests.
Next time you want open your mouth do a little research and try to form a cogent argument.
Worst Govornor, and most insurance companies have left are about to leave or file for Bankruptcy, sadly there are 1800 special districts in Florida, and Desantis attacked Disney over 1st amendment protected speach, only the uneducated think he’s smart, he is a bully, banning Books, removing school board members, (elected), removing states Attorneys (elected) so when you abuse your power as Govornor, and never actually do anything, except exposing yourself as a Tyrant, because that’s all he has mentally, attacking healthcare for LBTQB people, witch is Descrimination, under the law, between crooked Rock Scott, and crooked Ron Desantis, people forget the crimes and applaud the filth and trash they have Brought to a state my family fought for in the early 1800’s seriouly
Clueless. Bringing up other special districts is nothing but whataboutism, which is apples and oranges. The other special districts don’t give a mega corporation special privileges to essentially self govern.
Don’t forget the slaughter of fl sunshine law I think it’s called. He is a shady crook. Blowing fl tax payers money and now going to hide it with his new BS travel logs kept secret. He claimed for safety reasons. That’s an out and out lie since back dated travel logs are to be included and they cant cause any safety issue. Wanted girls period cycles documented. He has failed miserably in regard to Ian. It’s never ending. Just remembered the travel logs, in fl he has to reimburse certain funds he spends and hiding those logs keeps it where he pays back, if any, what he owes, all under his control.
And this entire post is a massive indictment of the Florida education system.
Also, if Disney DID leave, they would take their massive tax payments with them: over $1 billion annually. I wish they could just leave, pick up the entire 25,000 acres of investments and go somewhere they wouldn’t have to waste time, energy and company money swordfighting with a fascist. Then y’all could start paying state income tax.
If you had your way and Disney was gone, are you going to make up the revenue shortfall?? over a billion a year is state and local taxes and what the tourist would drop motels, eating, souvenirs, etc…. state of fl will be in desperate need of revenue. A load of people will need paychecks
Florida socks. Another expense is deodorant. It is so hot and humid for 10 months out of the year. Everyone stinks. U fortunately, it’s basic human nature to not admit mistakes which is why DeSantos is still their governor.
“Statewide, 64 percent of Florida voters approve of the job DeSantis is doing, versus just 24 percent who disapprove. Support for DeSantis is broad across nearly all political and demographic groups.”
It wasn’t a landslide
Approximately 50% registered voters did not vote. If he is so damn good why didn’t he get the 50% that didn’t vote. What he got was 30% of 50%.
What happened to that Andrew Gillum guy the dems ran? That guy was a hoot. He would probably allow Disney to do whatever if they paid him enough. Isnt he in prison or something now?
Most recent FL gubernatorial job approval I can find is from last month from Mason-Dixon, and it puts him at 59% approval vs. 39% disapproval. FiveThirtyEight rates them an A-, so they are pretty reliable.
I presume from the numbers that Beercan is citing a 2019 poll from the same firm, which appears to be his peak.
At the national level, meta-analysis of recent polling shows DeSantis standing alone as having a positive favorability spread among possible 2024 candidates. Biden, Trump, and Harris are all showing negative.
Any other questions that you could’ve resolved with a simple Google search? Or are you just trying to cast aspersions?
That’s where we spoke about the low education level in Florida, the base has no idea, about the law, the breaking of the law and what has been happening with Education, housing, insurance, highest cost that Florida residents have to pay, all the lawsuits witch our Tax dollars are paying, as well as his 1 billion dollar sales tax 2 years ago, abuse of power ,as a Govornor he is one of the worst, sadly most have not paid attention to his shove it down your throat until you choke laws, against teachers, faculty and students, telling everybody in a free country, what they can or cannot do, according to him, like a Tyrant
Iger is an arrogant self aggrandizing jerk. Look at the amount of money in salary, bonuses, stocks and options he has been gifted for such unprecedented failure. Stock price remains historically low, no dividends and the overall balance sheet – horrendous. Where is Disney going? They are doing damage control. I realize some on this board cannot possibly understand this but DISNEY started this war by siding with those that completely misrepresented the FACTS of legislation.
Disney supported its workers against an unjust law, under Citizens United, they have free speech rights equal to people under the First amendment. As for Iger’s payment for his work, do you go around calling out all CEOs for their pay and compensation, or just ones you don’t agree with?
You know nothing about the laws that govern special districts,#1 a special district can only be dissolved by a vote of their land owners,according to the Florida constitution on special districts, there are 1800 special districts in Florida, Disney has been paying taxes, and self governing themselves, with no problem for 50 years, the laws governing special districts,,, are made to give Disney power over themselves, and they have never violated any laws and have never not paid their taxes ,also Disney owes over 1 billion in loans debt, and under a Florida law, the state has to assume that debt to take them over, it’s in the state constitution, sadly you don’t know
You are probably a good guy Rob, I get it. Really the worst thing to do when America’s enemy is messing up is to tell them how. Just let it slide buddy. Its for the best. 🙂
You don’t even know what woke means. Not to mention that we are supposed to advance as a society and not regress. If treating people with dignity and respect is wrong to you move to Russia or north Korea.
Otherwise maybe grow up and stop acting like a little child because you want to disparage fsy people or the LGBTQIA+ communities or others you don’t like.
Disney simply supported their workers from legislation that hurt them. By the way being woke simply means someone is alert to racial prejudices and discrimination.
Given this wasn’t about racial prejudices or racial discrimination. Conservatives have tried to make it about anything that they disagree with that has social ramifications…
You are another lap dog, Desantis is the person who has bit off more than he can handle,Desantis tries to take away from the Freedom of all citizens, but you love that idea, shows what a sad place we live in, where people applauded Tryrants who abuse their power over companies, children, teachers, school boards, states Attorneys, and cruise lines, over Protected speach
It wasn’t a landslide
Approximately 50% registered voters did not vote. If he is so damn good why didn’t he get the 50% that didn’t vote. What he got was 30% of 50%.
Nikki Haley said Disney would be welcomed with open arms and all their over 100,000 plus jobs to South Carolina. If Disney left Florida’s economy would collapse. Imagine losing $10 billion a year in taxes and paying unemployment and social services for well over 100,000 people. Same folks crowing about Disney leaving would then somehow blame their sorry plight on Pres Biden and Dems .
The people, the voters DePointless is talking to, don’t care about truth. They don’t have the intelligence to go and see if anything said ever happens. It is good enough that he got on TV and did the “big man” thing. Affirming their need for hatered and belittlement. These people live in screens, not reality. Florida is basically the litterbox of America. Generally the population is low income, low education. Easy people to shovel reality at.
Most red states, have high crime and low education, those are real facts,also the highest housing, Rent,gas, and insurance, if you can find ,somebody to insure you before they leave florida
Meanwhile, in the real world, Florida is consistently in the top 3 fastest growing states for the last 5 years, along with Idaho, South Carolina, and Texas. Your presumably favorite deep blue New York and California are consistently among the fastest shrinking. And that’s primarily because people are migrating from the latter to the former.
Gas prices? As of today according to AAA, Nat’l Avg. $3.53, FL $3.48, CA $4.80.
Rents? Nat’l median $1326, FL $1218, CA $1586.
Crime doesn’t nearly follow a neat red-blue correlation, but let’s use the same examples I’ve been using up to now. Violent crime rate per 100,000. Nat’l 398.5, FL 383.6, CA 442.0.
Maybe you’re just not used to people calling you out on your “real facts,” but so far your 0 for 4.
Fine, you need at least one W in your L of a post? I’ll give you insurance, but keep in mind that in FL, insurance covers hurricane damage, something most states don’t see with anywhere near the frequency.
Does your gas rate include both taxes, three are 2. Highest Healthcare, the stamp tax racks in a load, 3 time higher homeowners insurance than anywhere in US. You have sales tax plus each county can add up to 1.5 I believe and that portion stayes in the county. One of the highest property tax, each county keeps property tax for that county. State does get to piss it away. One of the highest booze and smokes tax. Homeowners your no longer able to sue if they don’t pay up thanks to the governor. Cant honesty do chrome since gun laws just changed. People are moving out of fl. And a lot of snowbirds are going places other than tl. Even the beaches are nasty between red tide, dead fish and algie.
So everyone that doesn’t agree with you is uneducated and stupid typical liberal democrat. Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is filled with hate there bigots racist basically anything you can come up with. Maybe one day youll understand that most people don’t agree with you. They don’t have to and guess what ? There still good people. You calling people ignorant and stupid only makes people dislike you and your party even more. I Disney had stayed out of politics they wouldn’t be having this trouble they brought this on themselves period.
I beg to differ on one part of your comment..it is not the low income folks but rather a select group of people who feel entitled because they have step on the low income to make their way to the top. It’s a range of fake “christians” right-wing GOPers who carry hate in them.
Craig, Pull your head out of your butt and face reality. Ron DeSATAN is a small minded would be dictator who is trying to outdo the dictatorial illusions of his mentor Donald Tramp. God help us all if either becomes president. If DeSATAN feels no shame is singling out the largest or second largest employer and taxpayer in Florida for his vindictive behavior and rants, who would be his target if he became president? In the meantime, he ignores the citizens of Florida so he can pursue his pipe dreams running all over the country and the world with our tax dollars without having to quit his cushy governor’s job when he runs for president.
Exactly! Who wants a dictator over a guy who sniffs kids, poops himself and has no idea where he is most of the time. At this point, most peoples pets could lead this country into greatness. Does Mr Whiskers have a press secretary? Even that would be an improvement over the Potato-in-Chief.
Funny how liberals are all against corporate greed and for government regulation until until they get suckered into corporations caring about their crazy ideology. The wolf is playing the roll of a lamb in your eyes and you’re going to get eaten alive!!
This is a very poorly written piece. “…..bringing more hatred and remorse for the Florida Governor..”. ? Geez. Go back to school (private if possible as the public system seems to have failed the author)
What kind of word salad was that, first thing, Disney has been paying taxes for over 50 years, as well they pay for everything in their special district, roads, sewer, parks, fire, police, everything, the state has not paid one penny , that’s how special districts work, maybe you just don’t have a education, please learn more, and spew less word salad next time
Please stop simping for a mega corporation and trying to tell us that they’re somehow entitled to special privileges other corporations in FL don’t get.
That was an agreement made over 50 years ago. Benefitted both, and until a time comes that both parties agree to a change, no one has any business using power to change the law to benefit theirself. Until Disney practiced its legal right of freedom of speech, all the governor had to say was he got married there and how great the place is
This article shows how Wicked the left is. Joe Biden is a pathological liar and yet they cover for him in life for him themselves every single day. DeSantis is not a liar. Yet, if he makes a mistake, rather than asking him to clarify, which he would do most readily, they label him a liar. If you ask any decent mental health counselor they will tell you that that kind of behavior of labeling others is a sign of narcissistic abuse, and that’s what the left is filled with these days. If you ask the Lord Jesus Christ he says what are those who called good evil and Evil good. The days for Disney are most assuredly numbered because now they’ve turned against God himself. They’re a company that depends on making a lot of profit to survive, and with what the left is doing to our nation and our economy, they’re slitting their own throats, and that will be reflected in Disney like every like every other company in this once great country.
State inspections for attractions for only one of the major theme parks. Targeting someone much? And the state has done SUCH a good job inspecting other amusement parks. You know, ICON park.
Entiendo la preocupación del sr Di Santis sin embargo la florida está careciendo de muchas otras necesidades,no es hora de concentrar fuerzas el casa de brujas de Disney e indocumentados es hora de mirar ala infractrustura así como la ayuda aquellas familias de bajos ingresos incluso ayudar en el aspecto de las rentas inmuebles los cuales están desastrosamente fuera de control hay muchas familias sufriendo de todas nacionalidades e incluso ya es hora sr Di Santis que pelee por el pueblo que lo coloco allí y no por sus ideales políticos.
These problems would never had happened when Roy and Walt were alive. Disney has become a corporate giant all about profits, it is very hard for even Middle Class people outside Florida to afford their crazy prices.
Clearly he is out to (try) get the Walt Disney Co. This is like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Does he think this helps his future political aspirations? Never would I vote for this man for anything other than a trip to an psych evaluation.
The odd time liberals are saying no state involvement is needed, thanks to Disney’s supposed great safety record. That’s good to know. If we take a grossly inflated incident rate of deaths resulting from guns, round up to 50,000. There are 200 million gun owners in all. Do the math leaves a law abiding rate of 99.99975%! No more gun regulations are needed!
I hope Walt Disney kicks your ass you don’t deserve to be governor everybody deserves a chance you discriminate your band books they say you’re one of the smartest people so why you fooling with Mickey mouse everybody loves Mickey mouse we get so much tourism from it you’re not very bright are you you just want to kick back and you’ll do anything to get it with you Florida doesn’t need you we need somebody who cares do us all a favor and resign I’m tired of the hatred from the right you’re all radicals people have a right to live their life as they see fit and enjoy it leave Disney alone
Lisa is right and said it all without using any punctuation in one big run-on sentence that is the envy of all public school students all across America I used to read band books all the time now the stuff they put in front of kids 8 and under is so disgusting and gross I cannot even mention it hear with pictures and everything
Never in governor desantis statement did he state when, if, what .. he said he would take exemptions from all. Jeez y’all calling someone a liar, look in the mirror
Mr DeSantis is going to lose this fight. Mr DeSantis will crash and burn spectacularly. Mr. DeSantis fight is now on the national stage . I believe he will lose in 2 courts. The State of Florida Courts and the Court of Public opinion. Disney will not back down they have deep pockets to fight him with too. Disney is committed to this fight.Instead of braces on their teeth ,the kids of Florida will have braces on their brains. Mr. DeSantis is trying to redefine the word “indoctrination”. Anyone with a High School education knows you cannot make someone Queer. People know through scientific investigation that people are born Queer.Mr. DeSantis is a blight on Dunedain High School,Harvard and Yale. Do you think Harvard and Yale classmates are vocal supporters? Mr. DeSantis like his former Mentor plays to the disenfrachisedand undereducated. Mr DeSantis plays to the fears and creates a base of hatred. Mr. DeSantis appointees and stand in’s like Ms. Rodrieguez whobelieves the librarys are full of porn and Queer literature . A Florida teacher used a Disney movie in a class room situation and is being brought up on charges and could face jail. Why, because there is a GAY character in the movie. The official response”ALL corse materials must be reviewed by the school board before they are used in class. Is this 1938 Germany? Is Mr. DeSantis going to encourage a KRYSTALNACHT event tageting LGBTQ businesses , health centers. Perhaps Mr. DeSantis is going to re-write the Bill of Rights,the Costitution? I believe he is polishing up his Jack Boots ,pressing his white sheet and soon will rewrite history to say SLAVERY was a good thing for people of color. Mr DeSantis has edited out of schools the Holocaust. So a Disney victory is a victory for business. A Disney victory is a win for the country to save us from that type of thinking.
Science is Queer! KRYSTALNACHT baby! The only good hate is hate for Desantis. Disney is victory. Save us Disney from the Gay holocaust and protect the teachers from the law.

Maybe you’re just not used to people calling you out on your “real facts,” but so far your 0 for 4.
Fine, you need at least one W in your L of a post? I’ll give you insurance, but keep in mind that in FL, insurance covers hurricane damage, something most states don’t see with anywhere near the frequency.

Does your gas rate include both taxes, three are 2. Highest Healthcare, the stamp tax racks in a load, 3 time higher homeowners insurance than anywhere in US. You have sales tax plus each county can add up to 1.5 I believe and that portion stayes in the county. One of the highest property tax, each county keeps property tax for that county. State does get to piss it away. One of the highest booze and smokes tax. Homeowners your no longer able to sue if they don’t pay up thanks to the governor. Cant honesty do chrome since gun laws just changed. People are moving out of fl. And a lot of snowbirds are going places other than tl. Even the beaches are nasty between red tide, dead fish and algie.

I’m glad you went through all that trouble explaining the merits of FL. All your points are false, but keep on drinking the kool-aid.
DJ
Happy to pay higher rent to live here. Like they say, you get what you pay for.
Greg
Lies. Provide stats please.
Rob
So everyone that doesn’t agree with you is uneducated and stupid typical liberal democrat. Anyone who doesn’t agree with you is filled with hate there bigots racist basically anything you can come up with. Maybe one day youll understand that most people don’t agree with you. They don’t have to and guess what ? There still good people. You calling people ignorant and stupid only makes people dislike you and your party even more. I Disney had stayed out of politics they wouldn’t be having this trouble they brought this on themselves period.

DeLunacy needs to back into the cave he emerged from.
Greg
Your are either ignorant or a liar.
Not Marc
Why not both?
EWood
I beg to differ on one part of your comment..it is not the low income folks but rather a select group of people who feel entitled because they have step on the low income to make their way to the top. It’s a range of fake “christians” right-wing GOPers who carry hate in them.
Greg
LOL. Lies.
Craig
Quit whining Chad. Your fake indignation is showing.
Craig
Someone get Chad some Gov’t cheese to go with that whine.
Phil
Craig, Pull your head out of your butt and face reality. Ron DeSATAN is a small minded would be dictator who is trying to outdo the dictatorial illusions of his mentor Donald Tramp. God help us all if either becomes president. If DeSATAN feels no shame is singling out the largest or second largest employer and taxpayer in Florida for his vindictive behavior and rants, who would be his target if he became president? In the meantime, he ignores the citizens of Florida so he can pursue his pipe dreams running all over the country and the world with our tax dollars without having to quit his cushy governor’s job when he runs for president.
GeorgeInWI
Exactly! Who wants a dictator over a guy who sniffs kids, poops himself and has no idea where he is most of the time. At this point, most peoples pets could lead this country into greatness. Does Mr Whiskers have a press secretary? Even that would be an improvement over the Potato-in-Chief.
Rob
Funny how liberals are all against corporate greed and for government regulation until until they get suckered into corporations caring about their crazy ideology. The wolf is playing the roll of a lamb in your eyes and you’re going to get eaten alive!!
sbslaw
This is a very poorly written piece. “…..bringing more hatred and remorse for the Florida Governor..”. ? Geez. Go back to school (private if possible as the public system seems to have failed the author)

What kind of word salad was that, first thing, Disney has been paying taxes for over 50 years, as well they pay for everything in their special district, roads, sewer, parks, fire, police, everything, the state has not paid one penny , that’s how special districts work, maybe you just don’t have a education, please learn more, and spew less word salad next time
Joe Rogers
Please stop simping for a mega corporation and trying to tell us that they’re somehow entitled to special privileges other corporations in FL don’t get.
Karen Titshaw
That was an agreement made over 50 years ago. Benefitted both, and until a time comes that both parties agree to a change, no one has any business using power to change the law to benefit theirself. Until Disney practiced its legal right of freedom of speech, all the governor had to say was he got married there and how great the place is
CJA
Under DeSantis, Florida is not really the “place where woke comes to die.” It has become the place where common sense never gets the chance to live.
Lou
This article shows how Wicked the left is. Joe Biden is a pathological liar and yet they cover for him in life for him themselves every single day. DeSantis is not a liar. Yet, if he makes a mistake, rather than asking him to clarify, which he would do most readily, they label him a liar. If you ask any decent mental health counselor they will tell you that that kind of behavior of labeling others is a sign of narcissistic abuse, and that’s what the left is filled with these days. If you ask the Lord Jesus Christ he says what are those who called good evil and Evil good. The days for Disney are most assuredly numbered because now they’ve turned against God himself. They’re a company that depends on making a lot of profit to survive, and with what the left is doing to our nation and our economy, they’re slitting their own throats, and that will be reflected in Disney like every like every other company in this once great country.

State inspections for attractions for only one of the major theme parks. Targeting someone much? And the state has done SUCH a good job inspecting other amusement parks. You know, ICON park.
Buen Samaritan
Entiendo la preocupación del sr Di Santis sin embargo la florida está careciendo de muchas otras necesidades,no es hora de concentrar fuerzas el casa de brujas de Disney e indocumentados es hora de mirar ala infractrustura así como la ayuda aquellas familias de bajos ingresos incluso ayudar en el aspecto de las rentas inmuebles los cuales están desastrosamente fuera de control hay muchas familias sufriendo de todas nacionalidades e incluso ya es hora sr Di Santis que pelee por el pueblo que lo coloco allí y no por sus ideales políticos.
Gavin
These problems would never had happened when Roy and Walt were alive. Disney has become a corporate giant all about profits, it is very hard for even Middle Class people outside Florida to afford their crazy prices.
Debby
Clearly he is out to (try) get the Walt Disney Co. This is like a child throwing a temper tantrum. Does he think this helps his future political aspirations? Never would I vote for this man for anything other than a trip to an psych evaluation.
Harless
The odd time liberals are saying no state involvement is needed, thanks to Disney’s supposed great safety record. That’s good to know. If we take a grossly inflated incident rate of deaths resulting from guns, round up to 50,000. There are 200 million gun owners in all. Do the math leaves a law abiding rate of 99.99975%! No more gun regulations are needed!

OSHA provides extensive oversight of ALL amusement parks.

I hope Walt Disney kicks your ass you don’t deserve to be governor everybody deserves a chance you discriminate your band books they say you’re one of the smartest people so why you fooling with Mickey mouse everybody loves Mickey mouse we get so much tourism from it you’re not very bright are you you just want to kick back and you’ll do anything to get it with you Florida doesn’t need you we need somebody who cares do us all a favor and resign I’m tired of the hatred from the right you’re all radicals people have a right to live their life as they see fit and enjoy it leave Disney alone
GeorgeInWI
Lisa is right and said it all without using any punctuation in one big run-on sentence that is the envy of all public school students all across America I used to read band books all the time now the stuff they put in front of kids 8 and under is so disgusting and gross I cannot even mention it hear with pictures and everything
Kevan
Do it FL.!!
J
Never in governor desantis statement did he state when, if, what .. he said he would take exemptions from all. Jeez y’all calling someone a liar, look in the mirror
Blake
Work on you syntax kid.

Mr DeSantis is going to lose this fight. Mr DeSantis will crash and burn spectacularly. Mr. DeSantis fight is now on the national stage . I believe he will lose in 2 courts. The State of Florida Courts and the Court of Public opinion. Disney will not back down they have deep pockets to fight him with too. Disney is committed to this fight.Instead of braces on their teeth ,the kids of Florida will have braces on their brains. Mr. DeSantis is trying to redefine the word “indoctrination”. Anyone with a High School education knows you cannot make someone Queer. People know through scientific investigation that people are born Queer.Mr. DeSantis is a blight on Dunedain High School,Harvard and Yale. Do you think Harvard and Yale classmates are vocal supporters? Mr. DeSantis like his former Mentor plays to the disenfrachisedand undereducated. Mr DeSantis plays to the fears and creates a base of hatred. Mr. DeSantis appointees and stand in’s like Ms. Rodrieguez whobelieves the librarys are full of porn and Queer literature . A Florida teacher used a Disney movie in a class room situation and is being brought up on charges and could face jail. Why, because there is a GAY character in the movie. The official response”ALL corse materials must be reviewed by the school board before they are used in class. Is this 1938 Germany? Is Mr. DeSantis going to encourage a KRYSTALNACHT event tageting LGBTQ businesses , health centers. Perhaps Mr. DeSantis is going to re-write the Bill of Rights,the Costitution? I believe he is polishing up his Jack Boots ,pressing his white sheet and soon will rewrite history to say SLAVERY was a good thing for people of color. Mr DeSantis has edited out of schools the Holocaust. So a Disney victory is a victory for business. A Disney victory is a win for the country to save us from that type of thinking.
GeorgeInWI
This post is amazing.
Science is Queer! KRYSTALNACHT baby! The only good hate is hate for Desantis. Disney is victory. Save us Disney from the Gay holocaust and protect the teachers from the law.
Thank you Butch.. I needed that today, I think.
