Oh, chuckle chuckle. Mickey and the crew just party on. Every carefully selected adjective you chose, TC, fits the situation so perfectly. There are so many of us that clearly admonished and warned our weak Governor…especially with his choices for the new Reedy Creek board with a stupid name and right after his takeover of New College….boast and huff and puff, guv. You just do not f*ck with Mickey, you doughy dumbass. And not so quick either with your Hillsdale of the South reformed New College. You underestimate “quirky, free thinking big kids”. They comin’ for your undoing.

Thank you, TC.

🎶M-I-C…K-E-Y…..M-ou-se.🎶

The fact that everyone can sing that jingle? And so it is, Ron.

Very well said, Christine! Having spent a goodly chunk of my not altogether misspent youth as a quirky, free thinking big kid, and then 35 years teaching the next generations, I heartily concur. Y’all kick that trash to the curb. My prayers go with you. ❤️😉🙏

Outjocked by a rodent!

DeSansabelt is way out of his depth and could never deal successfully with Putin, Xi, Kim, or even their tailors unless his plan is to just be a squeaky voiced appeaser.

Thanks for making my day, Tom.

I love this! The whiney fascist blindsided. Mussolini in the white boots wading around in his own bullshit, outsmarted by the Mouse!

Bwahahaha!

Such delicious Troothing of the limpwads who (very sadly) run this state.

Thank You, Tom, In Perpetuity.

As much as I am not a big fan of the bloated monstrosity of a conglomerate that Disney has become, I give them credit for standing up to DeSantis and the other slobbering idiots that are threatening to bite the hand that feeds millions and millions of dollars into the state coffers in Flori-duh. Disney has billions of $$$ to hire swaths of lawyers to challenge any legal tricks that the GQP cabal in Dumbassistan can come up with, or better yet, just drop hints of moving the Disney Empire elsewhere and the yokels in Tallahassee will start howling en masse…

They also just negotiated a new contract with their service workers, with an $18/hour starting wage. That will be a spanner in the works to the GOP's battle about the minimum wage down there.

Thanks for highlighting DeSantis’s smack down by The mouse. Made.My. Day.

Disney/Reedy Creek Bill sponsor was our local Florida House Rep who DeSantis is pushing to be the next president of Florida Atlantic University !

His qualifications: made millions in the gambling/gaming industry before become a politician, called a school board member he disliked a “whore”, accused local school board employees of “child abuse” which cops proved wrong as photos/ “evidence” were staged by Fine supporter, got into a snit/spat with Special Olympics ! because they didn’t invite him to a fundraiser, threatened to shut down UCF, state’s largest university+++

I’m halfway around the world in New Zealand, reading about about the mouse that roared and you’ve just put a cherry on top of the whole story. You’ve made my day. Thanks Tom.

I have been doing novenas for Ron to trip over his hubris! But this is even more than I could have hoped for!!! He was so focused on one set of - rats that he completely missed the one with the really big ears--the one squeaking out "touche, touche"!!! Brilliant move. Will go down in perpetuity!!

(TC....though I thoroughly enjoyed your take down of Ron, I do take umbrage at your harsh and sweeping characterization of all of us Floridians.....you have some Floridian loyal followers who are neither dumb nor sleeping with alligators !!)

There's two Floridas, Carol, as I am sure you know far better than I. Flori-Dumb and Florida, of which you are a citizen, along with the other brave progressive heroes who hold their ground as it submerges beneath them. :-)

TC, actually there are at least 6 "Floridas".....Miami South;

Naples /West; I-4/Central; Pan Handle; Tallahassee: Jax /East Coast. Underlaying/ overlaying these geographical areas are 1. rural/urban divides and 2.relocated retiree/local &immigrant service economy divides. There is a diversity here that even we who live here " in our cut-offs and flip flops" often fail to see.

Much easier to sum us up with the one, slovenly, big- bellied , open carry, open container dumb white guy symbol.

But you are right about the submerging part. Miami will go first but you can bet that the rest of the state will follow. We are a floating cork of limestone!!!
