About

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aspires to be the same kind of Autocrat despised by the founders of the United States. He must be exposed for what he is: a great threat to our Democratic Republic and American values. Republicans don't punish big businesses like the Walt Disney Company for disagreeing with them. Fascists do. DeSantis and those like him are a massive threat to our Democracy.

Rules

  1. Nazis and Putin sympathizers are not welcome here.

  2. The tolerant, open-minded and freedom-loving ARE welcome here. Glad to have you good people : )

  3. Attack the media and expect to be banned. There is a good reason why the press is included in the First Amendment. If you cannot respect the vital role that an independent media plays in terms of checks and balances, this isn't the right group for you.

  4. Be respectful of our differences, whether it's race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

  5. No Spam, Threats, Harassment or Doxing of any kind.

  6. No trolling, disinformation, or low effort posts / comments.

So republicans defunding the police is cool now? Remember how Biden was supposed to do that?

Every GOP accusation is a projection

These guys are so fucking stupid. Almost ever single Community Development District in Florida has a line item on its budget for funding additional security from either off duty Sheriff's Deputies, State Troopers, or private security. In my county at least, deputies are about $45/hour and you can hire them in 4 hour shifts. Participation by the deputies is entirely optional for them and in addition to their normal duties. Troopers are more expensive, around $80/hr if my memory is right, plus they charge an extra hour for the drive.

This is all to say that what Disney is doing with this budget line is entirely normal and mundane. They're acting like Disney is wasting money because their hillbilly voters don't know any better and don't care to learn.

Disney should just close the Florida parks until these laws are reversed. Florida has cheap taxes thanks to tourism.

Wow, scummy. Satan's holding up a sign reading "9.8."
