      That’s really not what he was saying. If you read the article, you’ll find the title is pretty misleading. He’s trying to act like Florida has all but “won” the lawsuit, and that Disney should, therefore, just give up. It’s obviously a bluff, but he’s not really saying “please stop.”

          The difference is: Walt is the guy that want‘s to install Leopards because he thinks it will make him richer and more powerful. DeSantis is the first if the Leopards trying to eat Walt‘s face.

          Now, because Walt is as powerful as he is, he can put that Leopard in it‘s place. But others will come and eat him alive later.

          That‘s the thing with fascism - it‘s like a forest fire, it will burn down everything. People like Walt think that setting fire will benefit him (because people are busy fighting the fire that they can‘t focus an what he‘s up to). In the end, ge will burn as well.

            Do you uh, think that Walt Disney still runs Disney?

            That’s not possible, the man has obviously been cryogenically frozen for 50 years.

              Semi related. I figured out that chatgpt will follow you along conspiracy theories as long as they aren’t well documented. I can’t make it agree that Walt Disney was frozen but I can make it agree that Philip K. Dick might be living in an abandoned Blockbuster with only movies based on his books on the shelf.

    DeSantis: I’m going to fight Disney and WIN Disney: No. DeSantis: OK can we go back to you giving me money and tourists? Disney: No.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just “Move on” and stop dealing with the problems from your past? Just like this guy Kyle who “Moved on” from owing me $2,000 and thinks that’s the end of it.

    Seems they’re both wrong.

    Of course he’d like them to drop a lawsuit that he’s going to lose and they had pre-typed and filed within minutes of his bonehead actions.

    And that’s exactly what Disney’s army of lawyers are known for - holding hands and singing Kumbaya when the other side asks nicely.
