"This battle isn't winning me any political points anymore, so I've moved on. Can't we just forget about all the shitty things I did and said, some of which were blatantly unconstitutional" - DeSantis basically

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Disney will not do that.

Imagine boasting that you stayed open during a global pandemic. He just prioritised money over people's lives. What a wonderful man to be running for president.
