I read it this morning and thought I'd share:

1. DeSANTIS SHOULD JUST RESIGN NOW

What DeSantis and his cronies did is not just illegal, it is a corporate crime. A state cannot break a contract just because the governor is miffed. I don't know what kind of lawyers the state of Florida has that they allowed him to make this clear violation of the law but there will be more than just financial consequences. DeSantis can be brought up on criminal charges. Among other things it is illegal for a political entity to punish a business which has not committed a crime and Disney did not violate any terms of the agreement they made with Florida more than 50 years ago (and I believe the contact is valid for 100 years). At the least, DeSantis and his cronies should be forced to resign in disgrace.

13. Laws since 2020 clearly apply only to petty criminals.

How and why are we gliding into being a fascist state?

15. Sue his ass

2. Just what Pootie-Poop would have done.

Just what Pootie-Poop would have done.

No wonder the RWNJs love DeSatan.

Fascism Flourishes in Floridah.

3. Disney has very good and expensive lawyers, and they will not lose

I can't predict how this will end up.

All I know is DeSantis is dancing through a minefield and he seems to be blindfolded.
Disney's lawyers are all saying, "Hold my beer!"

4. DeSantis doesn't care. It's not his money & his courtroom defeat will be long after the elections.

10. Yeah, I'm not going with "Disney is

Defenseless" , either.

TY!

11. Right?

And it's an unusual situation, anyway. Apparently the state of Florida had the right to rescind this.

[Cha]

16. Yes, very vengeful of the magat gov.. and

it's not over.

Apparently, from what I've read here.. this will put more Burden on Tax Payers in Central Florida.

I hope ds Revenges himself right out of a job.

5. Even a Fortune 500 company can be right, and/or in the right.

Truth is truth, regardless who says it.

[Warpy]

6. Defenseless?

Wait until their lawyers get hold of those sanctimonious assholes.

And oh my, the PR campaign that's coming.

7. I interpreted 'defenseless' meaning if Disney takes the issue to court by suing the state and

still lose (with their likely large and brilliant team of overpaid lawyers), there's no nope for the rest of us.

8. DeSantis has used his govt to squelch free speech and he cancelled an agreement between FL and

the Disney property which he can't do. He won't get away with it.

9. It's Not Over Yet! As has been said..

"My money's on the Mouse!"

And, DeathAssholeSentence can Fuck Off to HELL

💙💛

12. This mouse could roar.
