They aren't getting their special district back, so might as well really.

He sure was brave until he had to sit in-front of a judge

[–] cley_faye 15 points 1 year ago

Haha no. Burn him forever.

[–] PeckerBrown 14 points 1 year ago

Fuck you, DeSantis.

[–] carl_dungeon 14 points 1 year ago

I bet trump is feeling about the same right now.

SO if someone hypothetically shot DeSantis in the back, it'll be fine and there will be no consequences once they've 'moved on'

Classic bully behavior.

DeSantis said. “They are suing the state of Florida. They are going to lose that lawsuit. So what I would say is, ‘Drop the lawsuit. You have the state that even CNBC ranks as number one of all 50 states for economy.” -Looks up list of states with the highest GDP... Florida comes in forth place.

... how did he think Florida's economy was stronger than that of Texas or California??

[–] Sarcastik 10 points 1 year ago

You have to make a decision. Either he's incredibly incompetent and incapable of accurately quoting one of the most basic stats a govenor should know about their own state or he lies so much that he's completely incapable of telling the truth, no matter how stupid the lie is.

Actually, you don't have to decide, it can be both. Dumb and evil. Door #3

DeSantis you are a piece of work. You decide to attack Disney ruthlessly over and over again and now all is good? I don't think so Nazi.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Sounds like his team finally convinced him that this is a losing fight.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Oh he flinched.

What a flip flopper!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Run up, get done up.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

What an idiot. The Mouse does not forgive. The Mouse does not forget. DeSantis can't surely believe Disney are just going to give up and walk away after he threw down the gauntlet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The guy should be a comedian because I almost shit myself laughing at this, ahahaha!
