Nothing would make me happier than to see Disney go bankrupt and for this to start a precedent for Republicans and politicians in general to stop fellating corporate America.

Great idea. Anyone misbehaving at Disney world will be walked to the nearby prison.

So these federal agencies and many others, attempted to criminally set Trump up, they lied, and fabricated documents, all while conducting armed raids on this private residence, and Ron DeSantis made A comment? LOL!

So there ya have it!

That whole post is disingenuous.

The question was if RDS has spoken out about the lies and the way Trump was treated by agencies of the government.

It was not a general question about Fed aggression.

RDS came out about the Mar-a-Lago raid late and only after much criticism.

RDS was badmouthing Trump behind his back long before Trump ever picked on him because Ron was being courted by the likes of Bushies to run against Trump who helped Ron win his first term as Governor.

Yeah well I’m hoping DeSantis and Iger figure out how to take another $10 off DIS share price, then I’d start buying a position.

You have a point. I get that the two men are in a primary fight and all but if RDS doesn’t take a strong limited federal government position he has no chance. The “social war” thing only gets attention but has nothing substantial to offer the people. It’s as superficial as a man in a dress.

Though, for most of them it’s all lip service anyway. Very few in the GOP walk the walk they talk. It ain’t easy to do. We need new blood with new ideas. Trump was almost the guy but they took him out and continue to try to keep him out. The gravy train cannot be stopped. “Old Charlie stole the handle no way to slow down”.

Aug. 15,2022 article at http://nypost.com/2022/08/15/totally-off-the-rails-desantis-rips-fbis-mar-a-lago-raid/ :

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized the FBI’s raid of Mar-a-Lago at a rally in Arizona, asserting that federal law enforcement agencies are being “weaponized” against political enemies.

The GOP firebrand and potential 2024 presidential nominee then listed instances where he believed the FBI engaged in politically motivated activity or inaction.

DeSantis said the FBI did not probe Hillary Clinton’s server but promoted the “false conspiracy theory” that Trump had colluded with Russia.

He also asserted that the agency was “sicced on parents going to school board meetings,” apparently referring to a Virginia mom’s claim in October related to her and other parents’ protest of a school board meeting.

Stumping for Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, DeSantis accused the department of having gone “totally off the rails” with its raid of former President Donald Trump’s Florida home.

“These agencies have now been weaponized to be used against people that the government doesn’t like,” DeSantis said. “And you look at the raid at Mar-a-Lago.”

“Meanwhile, when you have a law that protects Supreme Court justices is the FBI out there protecting our conservative justices?” he continued. “No.”

DeSantis called for Congress to rein in the agency — especially if Republicans take control of both houses.

“They are enforcing the law based on who they like and who they don’t like,” he said. “That’s not a republic. Well, maybe that’s a banana republic.”

Others, including some in the GOP, have called for patience in assessing the FBI’s action at Trump’s Florida residence, arguing that there shouldn’t be a rush to judgement.

Yes, commenting is often how one lets others know their views - which is exactly what your initial comment that started this comment chain asked for, was it not?

Don't give me that professional lawyer politician gibberish. They committed treason, tried to frame him, defecated on the Constitution and criminally attempted to overthrow a legitimately elected president. Stop sugarcoating this ugly disaster.

Following retaliatory action from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and a rubber-stamp legislature, Disney has added Florida to a list of legal threats to the Company’s operations.

So now not getting special privileges is *retaliatory*?

I’ve tried to find where DeSantis attacked/insulted Trump before Trump was in anti-DeSantis mode, but I’m not finding anything. Perhaps you could give an example?

I’m sure Trump has additional info about RDS and his associates that you’re not privy to. He doesn’t turn on his true friends because he’s loyal to a fault. However, when they’re coming for the king, he has to fight back or he’s gone.

All you are doing is demonstrating your own ignorance and laziness as well as your basic dishonesty. Do a little research or stfu.

They are out there. I saw them a few months ago. I haven’t got time at the moment to look for them.

Trump knew DeSantis was badmouthing him behind his back. I guess he didn’t say much about it back then, but he knew because he knew RDS was fixin’ to run against him and was paling with the Please Clap fella.

Someone has a video where this was happening. I haven’t seen it in a while but he was calling Trump names too.

DeSantis’ tweet on May 15:

“The Durham Report confirmed what we already knew: weaponized federal agencies manufactured a false conspiracy theory about Trump-Russia collusion. It reminds us of the need to clean house at these agencies, as they’ve never been held accountable for this egregious abuse of power.”

The good news is that the governor has already been cleaning house on the state level. If Trump gets back into the Oval Office, I hope he follows DeSantis’ example on that point.
