#NBCNews #RonDeSantis #Disney
De$h!tHe@d is trying to show everyone that he’s a tough guy against the Mickey Mouse people. Meanwhile Trump is openly humiliating and destroying De$h!tHe@d and what is his response? Nothing from this coward! This should show every republican all over this country the REAL character of this spineless wuss.
It is a iron-clad agreement and just shows how stupid Sandman is?
Textbook fascism.
DeSantis is a bully; obviously, he has no brains and low to no self-esteem. Hence, DeSantis reveals that he is not representing the best interests of the people of the state of Florida, only self-serving his outrageous ego.
This individual will NEVER be presidential material. No small wonder the billionaire GOP supporters are already distancing themselves from DeSantis.
L
Pay attention people this is the perfect example of why you do not want this man trying to get into the Oval Office he wants to be a tyrant just like Donald J Trump this country cannot survive another attempted dictatorship this man is no different than the Vladimir Putin’s, Kim Jong-Un’s or any other tyrannical country that has a dictator.
DeSantis crushed by Mickey Mouse! Think about that…
What a great idea yes we need more prisons put one right next to Disney. I agree. You know you’re running 4 office You are going to be ridiculed you are going to be dragged through the dirt And everything that goes wrong in the world is going to be your fault. You will even be blamed for the weather. Why does anybody want that job? goodness… What a thankless awful job. In the end you have to be careful because somebody could come back and accuse. You of committing a crime and you can spend the rest of your life in court fighting bogus Accusations. It’s an awful job. Nobody ever appreciates you. You are attacked the minute you say you’re gonna run You are attacked if you win And then they hunt you down after you leave office. Why does anybody want to be president?
I don’t get why a conservative is targeting a business because he doesn’t like their political stances? Isn’t that what they call cancel culture and blame on liberals? So much for free market “conservatives”
Bills of Attainder are unconstitutional. DeSantis knows this. It’s all a big bluff to gin up the rubes and raise money for his 2024 run. Very cynical and dangerous ploy.
It’s pretty funny that RepubliKKKans are always trying to pick fights they have no chance of winning. 😂
What DeSantis is doing with Disney should make people think about what he could do if he became president. As governor in Florida, he wants to have the state take over Disney property because of a disagreement; if he was president, would he have the federal government take over parts of or entire states that didn’t agree with him?
It’s nice to see that the republicans are embracing fascism in lieu of democracy.
As a native born floridian its high time someone stood up to disney and treated it like the bloated company it is.
If universal, sea world and the myriad of other theme parks in Florida can prosper without any special favors, so can disney.
DeSantis, take your “L”! You lost. Let it go.
This just doesn’t make any sense Desantis needs to stop, and I voted for the guy, but this is not something I can get behind.
Disney is in very deep water with this potentially criminal act that attempts to cover up many safety and financial concerns regarding the district.
This won’t end well for the mouse that has relied on florida to stay afloat.
NBC = Nothing But Crap
All DeSantis is doing is keeping his name in the news to run for president. He doesn’t care about Florida or Disney.
…State reclamation…
Please don’t hurt one of the world biggest corporations Mr DeSantis. We need them to spread our propaganda to the little ones.
this guy is awesome…..
Disney messed with the wrong guy … they should have stayed out of politics in the first place
Disney was built on bad land and Disney transformed the land into a beautiful park. Gov. DeSantis wants to overturn the development agreement. Americans vote for our representatives and also Americans can impeach our representatives. Now he is a treat to Disney with a prison building. That is a very dishonest proposition. Florida needs a better representative that is not a treat to a park built for entertainment. Disney has the rights to a development agreement with the state of Florida and not with our state representatives. Our representatives should represent a state with better views. Disney maintains the park and provides jobs for the people in Florida, brings visitors to the park and offers security. The people of Florida should protect Disney and the agreement that the state gave to Disney prior to building the park. Floridian’s fight for your state.
Imminent domain. Used over and over in this country.
Yeah right
Sounds like Chavez from Venezuela 😂😂
He’s ridiculous & needs to stop while he’s ahead. He’s off if you ask me. Weird!
Ron DeSatan has a small pecka
I live in Florida and gladly pay homeowner’s insurance rates that are a crime so long as our governor can devote all his time to Disney and making sure witchcraft doesn’t overtake our state.
Hopefully DeSantis will win over the now ultra woke Disney corporation.
The governor got embarrassed by Disney
Watch Disney take DesanTart straight to court
This guy is an out of control Nut Job..
A rumor going around is that Disney bought 22,000 acrers near Atlanta a few weeks a go just in case. I doubt that will happen but it depends on what Desantis has up his sleave.
Oh Ron cares about the will of the voter when it comes to corporations now? Just like he did when the voters voted on given felons that have done their time, their rights back.
Leftist- “capitalism is the root of all evil!”
Also leftists-“LEAVE DISNEY ALONE !!!REEEEEEEEE!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like Desantis and his people are idiots and now they want a do over. Disantis people gave him the OK to sign off on the this and he agreed to that and signed it into law. This isn’t a game, but he is complaining like it is. If he couldn’t see that coming, I’m not sure if he should be the Governor much less the President. He is now trying to undo the new replacement for Reedy Creek which it was his idea to do which would make two districts undone by Desantis in less than a year. What has he accomplished during this time?
Desantis is trying his best to make Disney pay millions to him and his crooked friends but if Disney leave Florida they will be lost
So let’s just put aside the whole feud, if it’s right or wrong that Disney is afforded special privileges and that Fl Gov is taking it away for …questionable reasons, and instead focus on the fact that the Gov of Fl wants to take away some of Disneys legally purchased land and build a state prison….next to one of the most popular family getaways in the world….I don’t know how came up with that idea but it needs to be repeated to them slowly and repeatable for an hour until they can understand how much of a crappy idea that is. Then they can resign.
Oh this is not going to go his way. This going to hit the courts like a 💩 hitting the fan. Can’t wait!!
Snort laugh. Death Cult DeSantis can’t legislate himself out of a contract. What a maroon.
“The Party of Small Government”, everyone!
This is why people need to get out and VOTE! We’re half way done with 2023! 2024 will be here before you even know it! Less complaining, more voting!
Disney should up and leave that fascist state and move to Puerto Rico.
Desantis is going to keep up this fight and find ppl out of jobs and millions lost
The original Disney was destroyed by DEI liberal policies. Go Desantis!
Yes socialism will rise. Thank you, ron
The Mouse is still winning.
Florida is losing.
Deinsanetis loves to be humiliated repeatedly. And he wants to be the president? Dream on……
Dont say Desntis…
0:53 why did the people of FL vote this Fascist back into office.
#tinyDeFascist
This man is about to be annihilated by a mouse …… 🤔🐭🤣
Disney would have already strategised for anything ‘Puss in Boots’ DeSantis has in mind, it’s going to be hilarious …… 🤔🤣
As much as I disliked the sweetheart deal that Disney was receiving, they did make it work for them. DeSantis is shooting his own golden goose in order to look like a tough guy. Good luck with that one you stupid politician.
Everyone needs to send a baby pacifier to DeSatan. He is acting like a spoiled little baby not getting his way at Disney World.
Move Disney world out of the state. Let Florida sink.
DeSantis has good ideas, he should make some Trump towers on that parcel if Disney moves into a different state, or DeSantis international.
Disney also has put up a lot of their land for wildlife conservation and education . I guess Desatan doesn’t care about this.
Now just repeal the bono copyright extension. We need mickey before 24 😂
Lol florida is in trouble with this clown wannabe tyrant Mussolini 😂
Hitler made an anti Comintern pact with a country right before he broke that same pact by invading the country with whom he had just made the pact. There is no honor among thieves. These fascists are thieves in tweed. Well dressed thugs. Lipstick on pigs. All are fundamentally lazy about everything but figuring out how to get more power so they can be more lazy……..at the expense of the rest of us…….the other 98% of us. F that y’all. He’s doing exactly what he accuses others of doing.
Disney is destructive to a moral society.
Freddy Meatballs getting his puckerhole kicked in by a cartoon mouse.🤣😂😅
Yikes, Ron Boomalatty over here. Somebody tell Governor Puddinghands that refined sugar is “woke.”
Desantis is going to be gone in a few years and his attempts to punish his critics will end like Nixon’s, undone by his successor with the stroke of a pen.
As a Florida resident I don’t know a single person who supports DeSantis in his petty retribution and bully tactics against Disney. I think he has surrounded himself with sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear, and like all strongmen he’s headed down a dead end road!
Stupid, stubborn, sanctimonious, and schizophrenic is not the hallmarks of a leader. Unless you are a Republican, than it seems to be a required and welcome personality defect for a seeming majority of 21st century GOP voters. The Greatest Generation is rolling in their graves knowing their kids wound up being the Greediest and Gullible Generation.
Desantis is a troubled human being
I see DeSantis loosing on every aspect of his career including if he runs for the Oval Office. And Disney definitely can afford to bury DeSantis political career as well will just have to see what Disney will do next.
Thats your will DeathSantis NOT the people of Florida
Wanna be dictator desantis. And the Floriduh state legislature allows him to do these things.
Disney hasn’t even begun to fight. Disney has done things even foreign governments couldn’t do. What makes Ron DeSantis think he can win against Disney?
Get him out of there. He is ruining Florida. Time to fight to impeach this Dictator.
Look at Disneys track record. The Epstein Island of childrens entertainment
OK, boomer
When government takes over private business, isn’t that the very definition of Socialism?
What hypocrites these Republicans are.
Ron will not make a deal with them because he’s a fascist what he will do it change his view if they offer to give him money donations are bakamus president he’s a big piece of garbage and he’s going to end up costing a lot of people their jobs
Why would DeSantis want a Prison near a family Amusement Park. Republicans truly against Families, healthcare, gun control, save families.
Since everything has been aimed solidly at Disney. They could always take it court for discrimination. Although being DeSantis’ Florida, that’s what it lives on.
Shame on you Disney. Pay your fair share of tax without special concession. Every moment that Disney refuses to do so they steal from the people of Florida.
Law and order….unless it’s law and order.
He doesn’t really seem that crazy of a right-winger anymore like he used to be I don’t know
Disney has worked great for many decades. Disney, please move to Texas. Florida clearly doesn’t want there in their dictatorship.
Have you noticed how DeSantis has the same feminine mannerisms as George Santos? Many men who are extremely homophobic like DeSantis actually doubt their own sexuality. He’s Catholic ans sees the Pope as God on earth. Do you think he may have been abused by a priest, and this is the reason for his hatred and authorization behavior?
A prison there would make transportation of all the Disney pedos much easier
All because Disney publicly disagreed with DeSantis policy. Tiny little man with a tiny little…
Looks like Disney just might move out to another state. Believe North Carolina is voting on an incentive.
Can we say dictatorship??
Disney will outlast DeSantis. That’s all they have to do and put their money behind other people.
This is not what the people of FL. Want. It’s just this 1 dude?
We should allow floridians to vote on it.
Vengeful governing! No way should this guy get near the Oval Office.
Disney will just strike back.
Again.
DeSantis = dictator.
I wonder if DeSatan realizes that Disney likely anticipated his possible responses, and already has contingencies figured out for each of them.
He’s playing checkers and has a King on the board. Disney is playing chess. In chess, it is the Queen who has the power. The Disney realm has many Queens and Princesses while DeSatan has just one King.
DeDictator….😂
DeSantis is drunk on power
Someone needs to stop desantis because he’s violating people’s and businesses rights to free speech while using his position corruptly
Ron Deathsentance wants his cut of the profits $$$$$$$$$ like all mob bosses
