How so? It's a clear example of an elected government official seeking to exert influence over a private business, in a matter concerning political ideology.

Geez dude..this is jurisprudence, not ideology. Can a city offer Sanctuary for Illegals over a higher state or federal capacity?

Indeed.The Florida parks are a large part of what kept Disney solvent during covid when movie Theaters and the California parks were sidelined. A decision by Florida to not renew the next round of tax breaks for the Parks or some cancellations of sweetheart deals for access to Florida infrastructure could really make Mickey wake up with a headache. The state of Florida holds a lot of cards. Florida can function without Disney World. Disney world cannot function without the goodwill of Florida.

You are grossly overstating the importance of The Disney World theme park attraction, as a source of revenue for The Walt Disney Company. This is a business worth over $200 billion.

I get the play he is making. Attack anything you can label as "woke" or something similar. Photo ops. Outrageous statements. We saw it when Trump would attack the cameras and media at his rallies. Crowd ate it up. DeSantis once again copying Trump in this regard.

But he's taking a gamble here. If he doesn't get the WH he's got to live with the 800 pound gorilla that is Disney. They are very powerful for a reason. Might backfire.

Not that it matters but DeSantis had lost my vote way before this grandstanding episode.

You have a biased perspective. All of these characteristics you cited could be equally applied to former Vice President Dan Quayle. Quayle spent 4 years bumbling his way through speeches with malaprops, and embarrassing episodes, such as not recognizing Neil Armstrong at a White House dinner in honor of the 20th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing in July of 1989.

In the book "The Stupidest Things Ever Said by Politicians," by Ross and Kathryn Petras, Dan Quayle literally has his own chapter.

Speaking of misidentification of important people, do you REALLY want to go there considering the number of recent examples of Democrats confusing one black person for another? Think VERY carefully before floating that shot slowly and easily over the net my friend 😬
Oh, and by the way, by 1989, if you would have shown 100 random Americans a picture of Neil Armstrong (not in a spacesuit), I guarantee that maybe only 20 would have correctly identified him.

Disney and all other businesses in this country see the handwriting on the wall and know quite well who is going to run the show at the national and at most state levels starting in January 2023 my friend. Disney and the rest will SAY all the right things to appease the left but you better believe they will still quietly be slipping checks to the people who will be writing all the laws for the foreseeable future. Pay to play might be distasteful , but it is still the only game in town. Even the boardroom at Disney knows how to read a political poll and what a 34 to 38% Presidential approval rating combined with a plus 2 REPUBLICAN preference in a generic Congressional ballot means for this November.

The Vice President is not a random American, and this was no ordinary event. It was a White House dinner to commemorate the first moon landing and to honor the Apollo 11 astronauts. How the hell do you not know who Neil Armstrong is? Quayle was a goof ball.

Joe Biden was a gaffe machine before he was severely cognitively impaired. Now it’s so bad that his nonsense gibberish is the new normal. Wait until his bigotry slips out.

Funny thing there, when parents started actually trying to do that last year, Biden put the DOJ onto them and started labeling them as terrorists….:
So what I THINK you mean is, “get involved as long as you already agree with the brainwashing we are already doing”
