    I do. You dont see him running down people, even the republicans, on a constant basis. His speeches are uplifting and call to action... not blame fests.

    Just curious. Which big corporate beauracracy's car to you drive? Which big corporate beauracracy's TV do you own? Which big corporate beauracracy's computer are you posting on?

    I'm just calling balls and strikes, but from here it looks like you're blowing in the wind based solely on a political allegiance...

    ESPECIALLY when the state has made it clear they don't like you and are trying to punish you.

    It’s been a wild thread for sure. I expect to see them quote AOC next. I got one from her and Amazon trying to get into NY..

    “We protected [taxpayers] from a scam deal to drain public dollars from schools & infrastructure in exchange for empty promises of "jobs" w/ O guarantees or guardrails. Sadly, cities who took it are suffering.”

    Perfect! Wrap it up and send it to trump for the first debate in the event he’s able to attend.

    The effective date of the original Reedy Creek Improvement District legislation was May 12, 1967. Disney broke ground on May 30, 1967 for construction of the Walt Disney World Resort. Walt Disney was not happy with all the junk business that surrounded Disneyland and cashed in on his creation. When he was scouting land in Florida, he wanted to prevent that from happening to this project, he wanted control. It is highly unlikely Disney would have built everything he did in Orange county without the Reedy Creek assurances. In the 55 years the original Reedy Creek legislation was in place, Disney hasn't wrecked too much land or endangered too many communities, it simply took a stand on an issue of some obvious importance to them.

    Imagine where Orlando/Orange/Osceola County would be today if Walt had gone elsewhere.

    Really good lawyering. Real pros. They have my respect. Not making the same mistake William Hurt made in Body Heat.

    I wasn’t talking about crimes, I put it in those terms because Biden isn’t really a purposeful flame thrower like Ron or Don. There are people on the left who are. But I would put Biden in the Paul Ryan camp comparatively. You might hate his politics, but isn’t a particularly bad guy. Ron could compare maybe to Elizabeth Warren. They both continually demonize the other side via one issue (for Warren it’s wealth inequality, Ron it’s wokeism).
    Trump is in his own realm and has no fair comparison from anywhere in Us politics, at least in my lifetime.
