    I hate to say it, but the ultimate outcome of this dispute will be more dependent on DeSantis' Presidential prospects than any operation of law. If he is perceived to be very powerful and vindictive and about to hold even more power, I just don't see judges ruling against him, even when he's clearly wrong. Conversely, if he doesn't turn around his recent slide in the polls, judges won't hesitate to rule against him. It's a sad reality, but justice has become even more polarized and arbitrary. It was always some element of it but it's gotten much worse.

    Huh? You are the only acting like a child, here?

    You think id someone is going to praise DeSantis in this thread, they’d at least be able to articulate some positive that came out of this…. Otherwise, you just come off looking like a boot licker…. Big white clown boots, in this case…

    No more moderating then. Done. I'll take that deal, will literally any lefty on this forum? I doubt it.

    Until then, I'll enjoy the benefits of the rules just like everybody else, buddy. Enjoy. :)

    Yes it is, you just don't like the answer.



    "He's supporting and furthering the rights of parents and preserving the innocence of children."

    I guess they can expect their liquor licenses to be revoked and their restaurants will be shut down due to health violations and the hotels shut down for fire code violations.

    He's retaliating against Disney because they disagree with that viewpoint, to the detriment of Florida taxpayers, because his feelings are hurt.

    And why did Newsom go after Walgreens?

    Why did the Mayor of Boston try and put up roadblocks specifically for Chick-Fil-A franchises in Boston?

    Ahhhh ... now we are getting somewhere, sort of ...

    .... but first off, let me ask this, how am I supposed to get "He's supporting and furthering the rights of parents and preserving the innocence of children" from "same as walgreens"? In what way had Walgreens been "supporting and furthering the rights of parents and preserving the innocence of children"? I think what happened here is you are finally acknowledging how dumb your answer was, so good for you on that front.

    Secondly, how exactly did the take over Disney roads and infrastructure accomplish that? There is literally no connection between the state confiscating Disney roads and fire stations and "the innocence of children". I'm sorry, but you failed again. Maybe you just should have stuck with "same as Walgreens". In retrospect, that answer was just as good.

    I think it's time for you to just admit that you like the taste of rubber boots.

    You having to dumb something down for anyone is never an issue. No matter how low the intellectual bar is set for your posts, you manage to Limbo yourself right underneath it.

    Somebody's dense.

    I obviously didn't mean Walgreens was supporting the same thing. I meant Walgreens supported something through company policy that Newsom didn't like, so Newsom punished them on behalf of the state. I meant Chick-Fil-A had values the Mayor of Boston didn't like, so Chick-Fil-A was punished on behalf of the city.

    Again the same reason Newsom and the Mayor of Boston try to intimidate these corporations. First they intimidate into silence, then they intimidate into openly supporting their values, then the corporations become overrun by radical leftists and all of a sudden, Democrats have control over all of these influential institutions.

    DeSantis is doing the same thing, except on the right. Even if he loses against Disney in court, he wins because it sends a message to other businesses thinking about operating in Florida. And as much as Disney can take a hit given the empire they are, most businesses really can't say the same and wouldn't look forward to these kinds of litigation expenses.

    You're really not helping your case when you are comparing DeSantis to politicians you hate.

    So your answer to the question "What problem with Disney did Hugo DeSantis remedy?" is "he is punishing them on behalf on the state"? First off, that's not a answer to the question, because you still haven't expressed (a) what the problem was with Disney and (b) how Hugo solved it. See, words mean things. I shouldn't have to explain that, but here we are. I'll give you another chance to try again ....
