oh damn Sabatini is on the warpath
But tbh "possible comprise" is very different then reinstating the old RCID status
I'm pretty sure from the get-go the expected outcome was eventually a different and more limited special district.
If the more limited special district basically just means they can't build a nuclear power plant or an airport then that's not really much of a limitation for a theme park. Saying it's a compromise is more of a face saving maneuver for Republicans and DeSantis in Florida to avoid saying they completely messed up and are having to give in to Disney.

The whole idea of doing away with the special district was to punish Disney for acting too woke, if they basically keep the district without having to change their behavior then what was ever accomplished? Maybe DeSantis could at least argue Disney has to keep Splash Mountain the same with its Song of the South references.
 
Had this sent to me today. Here is probably as good as any a place to post it.

This explains why the United States is not the country in which you were raised.

• We don’t let athletes bet on games they have the ability to influence. Why do we allow Congress to invest in companies they regulate?

• Why is it that when archaeologists find human remains, they always determine that they are either male or female and none of the other hundreds of genders?

• Why is it that so many are more outraged that Brittney Griner is stuck in Russia than they were about Americans being stranded in Afghanistan?

• How is it that the government can’t control gasoline prices…but the weather is something they can fix?

• We’re churning out a generation of poorly educated people with no skill, no ambition, no guidance, and no realistic expectations of what it means to go to work.—Mike Rowe

• If kids knew what they wanted to be at age eight, the world would be filled with cowboys and princesses. I wanted to be a pirate. Thank goodness nobody took me seriously and scheduled me for eye removal and peg leg surgery—Bill Maher

• Why were we told to lower our AC usage on hot days to prevent overwhelming the electric grid while simultaneously being told to trade in our gas cars for electric vehicles?

• Why is canceling student debt a good idea? Does it make sense to reward people who do not honor their financial commitment by taxing the people who do?

• Does it make sense to cut off oil from an ally and buy it from an enemy who calls for your death?

• Are we living in a time where intelligent people are silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended?

• Is this a great description of America: Andy has left town and Barney is in charge?

• Why is talking sexually in the workplace considered sexual harassment to adults…but talking about sexuality to children K-3 at school considered education?

• Who else had a ‘ministry of truth”…Hitler…Goebbels…Stalin

• Eliminating the production of 500,000 American barrels of oil a day to buy 500,000 barrels a day from Russia is simply…well…stupid.

• I saw a movie where only the police and military had guns; it was called Schindler’s List.

• If your electric car runs out of power on the interstate, do you walk to a charging station to get a bucket of electricity?

• Why are we running out of money for Social Security and Medicare and not for welfare, illegals and free college?

• I just got a full tank of gas for $22. Granted, it was for my lawn mower, but I try to stay positive.

• There is a coin shortage. America is officially out of common sense.

• If an 18 year old isn’t mature enough to own a firearm, then maybe five year olds aren’t mature enough to change their gender.

• Sign in Texas: DON’T VOTE FOR WHAT YOU FLED

• Nobody called it “Toxic Masculinity" when we were saving the world.

• Mice die in mouse traps because they do not understand why the cheese is free. Just like socialism.

• The most powerful governments on earth can’t stop a virus from spreading…but they say they can change the earth’s temperature if you pay more taxes.

• Want to stop drunk drivers from killing sober drivers? Ban sober drivers from driving. That’s how gun control and COVID lock-downs work.

• If you don’t want to stand for the national anthem, perhaps you should give your legs to a veteran who lost his. That way a real man can stand in your place.

• If socialism is so good and capitalism is so bad…then why aren’t the caravans heading to Venezuela?

History is not there for us to like or dislike. It is there for us to learn from. And if it offends you, even better…because then you are less likely to repeat it. It is not anyone’s to erase…it belongs to all of us.

You're my uncle aren't you? Peak boomer. True though.
 
I just want someone to ask Desantis, after a sorta puff piece interview, just go "so as we're finishing up here, will you be stabbing Trump in the back or in the front?" and just see how he responds.

That Desantis is writing a book now (always the laundering tactic in politics), and seems to have said nothing about the fuckup in AZ outside of "we run our elections right in FL" despite taking 20 million from the Republican Governor Association while Lake got jack shit really makes me wonder which consultant he brought in from the swamp to be his handler. This is like every rockband movie of being seduced by someone and turning to shit and ruining the group.
 
Here's why I think the globohomo is panicking and rushing to denounce, debank, and deplatform Kanye: he has over 30 million followers. If he can convince a significant fraction of them that they shouldn't keep their money in a bank because what happened to Kanye could happen to them, he could cause a cascade collapse of the global financial system. Based on what I'm seeing on twitter, roughly ~70% of them are sticking with him after Alex Jones and a surprising number of them are even going full 1488 (even though they're mostly black, lol). I am pretty sure that most banks still operate on the razor's edge of solvency to maximize their profits because they haven't learned a fucking thing from 2008. I would love to see him cause the mother of all bank runs.
the DNC treats the black demographic like their pitbull pets, it's only a matter of time till someone's face gets chewed off.
:popcorn:

Feel like nearly every sleazy politico is wanting to get involved with DeSantis who they see as the populism killer. Though it's insane to me that every neocon and their mother can be endorsing DeSantis and it still doesn't make some of his stans think about whether he's really what they thought he was.
 
The Musk drop and all we get is James Woods filing a lawsuit? Where are our fighters at?
Shitting their pants hoping emails of them crying to Twitter to have the Hunter Biden laptop shit censored don't pop up. "Drumpf is big meanie and is making our party look bad, how dare he not like world police policies like more military in the Middle East, those people need freedom and gay butt sex".

Could be wrong, but wasn't there something which already came out about DeSantis's admin hiring RINO and establishment Republican staff hand over fist for the past few months? I recall this tidbit coming out and as quickly disappearing from public discourse. It's basically a given DeSantis is fully paid for, just a question of whether he pulls the trigger for 2024 or 2028. Anyone smart would shoot for the latter, but we know how the eGOP operate.
