I had hoped the Disney-Disantis fight would continue and it's better than I ever expected. Disantis is humiliated from being outplayed by Disney and is now threatening to build a prison next to Disneyworld. It's awesome how these guys aren't scared to show just how unfit they are to govern. It's like they have no self-awareness at all. 😂

I see that you’re unaware of humour and sarcasm. 😂
You probably don’t understand a politician that doesn’t drool all over himself.

You always try that excuse, especially after you lose control of your emotions and get caught up in an insurrection and start posting "Burn it down!" 😂

Tell me how these are traits of a fit leader. Remember when the Republican party included grownups like John McCain? I wonder what happened to make you all sh!t-throwing babies.

Seems like even some republican donors are worried about Meatball Ron...

On a group chat of wealthy DeSantis donors...participants exploded with alarm last week over the Florida governor’s presidential prospects... “What... is wrong with RD?” one participant wrote after DeSantis did not curtail his out-of-state publicity tour to return home amid massive flooding in the Fort Lauderdale area.

(Remember the good old days when Biden was criticized for not going to the site of a train derailment? Ah, good times good times. Meatball Ron should have gone to the site of the flooding so he could toss them some paper towels. Seems like a very republican thing to do.)

...Several other top donors to DeSantis were livid about the governor referring to the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine as a “territorial dispute,”...Billionaire financier Thomas Peterffy told the Financial Times this past weekend that he and “a bunch of friends” were putting spending for the Florida governor on hold "because of his stance on abortion and book banning."

ETA: Although I suspect their complaints are more about "We don't think he can win" rather than "I dislike what he's saying".

Yet more Disney problems for meatball Ron...

The Walt Disney Company has filed a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials. Disney accuses DeSantis with orchestrating a "campaign of government retaliation" against the company and violating its protected speech....At DeSantis' urging, Republican lawmakers passed a bill that stripped Disney of its self-governing authority. But before the law took effect, Disney signed a deal with its outgoing board allowing it to retain development rights...At a meeting Wednesday near Orlando, DeSantis' handpicked board voted to invalidate that agreement. Moments later, Disney filed a 77-page lawsuit in federal court, charging DeSantis and other officials with violations of the contracts clause, the takings clause, due process and its First Amendment right to protected speech.

A lot of people claimed Desantis was a "more intelligent donald trump", but this sort of thing makes you think he's just as dumb but just tweets less. Over and over again we have seen him do foolish things that backfired on him:
- Transporting "illegal aliens" (who sort of weren't) to another state, and finding out that they were welcomed (and Florida was on the hook for the cost of the flight and may have engaged in human trafficing)
- Tried to defend an internet law dealing with social media companies that got slapped down by the courts
- Passed poorly worded laws that have caused libraries to leave empty book shelves

This feud with Disney is just the latest embarrassment. And the more he tries to act the worse it gets for him. The smart thing to do would have just ignored disney initial statements about the "don't say gay" law. (Its not like there would be a lot of people who base their voting decisions on comments made by Disney executives about homosexuality.)

Still not sure how DiSantis' heels don't qualify as drag.

Methinks DeSantis is not very bright.

They tried to start squaring the circle beginning with Reagan.  "We're regular folks like you"

But it doesn't work...
