Are we supposed to blame Biden for red states suppressing black votes?

It's very ironic...

The news is full of bad news, and people bashing each other... but at the same time, it hyper-informs us.

I said it last election, and I don't mean this really in a bad way... if your a Independent, your basically a Non-Voter or a Voter who somehow has avoided all News Media from both sides; Physical and Digital. Right now this whole Left vs. Right Ideology is in a sense a Electoral War. Even if you don't like Biden, you will still vote for him... if you know that a Trump/DeSantis presidency would do. The same goes for the Right.

To some, he is “Ron DeSoros,” a puppet of Democratic megadonor George Soros. To others, he is “Ron DeSatan,” a vaccine-supporting evildoer. And to still others, he is “Ron DePLANTis,” a “plant” of the so-called Deep State.

As the governor of Florida — real name Ron DeSantis — explores a bid for the Republican presidential nomination, he has made overtures to supporters of former President Donald Trump. But he is finding that the conspiracy theories and outlandish attacks that Trump and his allies have aimed at rivals for years are coming for him as well.

DeSantis biggest regret is going to taking a jump on the National Stage.

It seems like even the Republicans have been waiting a chance to fukk up his career.

DeSantis signs bill allowing Florida board to cancel Disney deals​

May 5 (Reuters) - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Friday signed a bill into law that gives a new board he controls the power to void development agreements its predecessor body signed with Disney - the latest episode in a feud between the conservative governor and the entertainment giant.

Under the bill, which passed the Republican-controlled legislature largely along party lines, the Central Tourism Oversight District Board - whose members are appointed by DeSantis - can cancel any deals signed up to three months before the board's creation.


"Make no mistake about it, the reason why the legislature had to act was not because of anything we did," DeSantis said at a news conference Friday. "It was basically born out of Disney’s arrogance that they would be able to subcontract around the duly enacted laws of the state of Florida. That's wrong."

Walt Disney Co (DIS.N) declined to comment.

The legislature formed the board in February to replace the Disney-controlled Reedy Creek Improvement District to oversee development in the 25,000 acres (10,120 hectares) surrounding Walt Disney World, effectively wresting control from the company and handing it to DeSantis.


Disney, the largest employer in central Florida, and the Republican governor have been battling since last year, when Disney criticized a new state law banning classroom instruction of sexuality and gender identity with younger children.

DeSantis, who is expected to declare his candidacy for U.S. president in coming weeks, has repeatedly attacked "woke Disney" in public remarks, characterizing it as liberal.

"We have a fundamental disagreement in this state, in terms of what we think is appropriate for children, and what the people in Burbank, California, think is appropriate," said DeSantis. Disney is based in Burbank.

Before DeSantis' appointees took over the board, the company pushed through changes to the special tax district agreement that limited the new body's action for decades.

The new oversight body in April said Disney's plans for potential expansion of Disney World did not comply with state law, and declared that agreement void.


Disney filed a lawsuit in federal court the same day, accusing DeSantis of illegally using government power to punish the company for exercising its free speech rights.

The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District board responded with its own lawsuit in a state court, saying it sought to void "backroom deals" favorable to Disney.

Disney's stock is up nearly 16% in the year to date, compared with an 8% gain in the S&P 500 index (.SPX).

:mjgrin: Guess the report is true about Ron... When he feels slighted, he just can't let it go. It makes you wonder why DeSantis won't hit back at Trump though, because DeSantis just letting Trump say whatever. I am sure DeSantis' donors love to hear this news of DeSantis focusing on Disney instead of 2024 Elections.

The fact that he's being "coached" now for the debates to control his facial expressions and anger only leads me to believe he has no self control.

It may work for an hour or two, but over the course of a rigorous campaign you can forget it. Dude is gonna back to who he always was at some point.

And Trump is gonna bring out the worst in it.

Confuse your opponents silence with compliance brehs.

They using every quote, article, press conference and your books to nuke yo dumbass.

You'd think with a lawsuit pending he would STFU from here on out. A simple 'we can't comment due to pending litigation ' would be best. But this idiot can't help himself.

The fact that conservatives think this is in line with their calls for "free speech" is wild. It's one of the clearest examples of government attempting to suppress political speech.

it's in line with their definition of free spech: freedom to say the things I want and the freedom to stop you from saying the things I oppose.
