Florida Senate, on a 23-16 vote, just passed legislation ending Disney’s tax privilege, self-governing power & special exemption status

[dblack]

Yep. So you are making my point. I have thrown my hands up in the air. So now I say anything goes.

What are you talking about??? Are you saying that one wrong act of government justifies others?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

The remedy to authoritarian vendettas over opposition to discriminatory mandates is in the courts.

You did not answer my question. You were obviously raised poorly. Do better.

 

[Nostra]

WTF? Half the republican states passed abortion laws in violation of Roe V Wade.

Link?

 

[postman]

That type of behavior is welcome, even encouraged, in many blue cities.

That's a load of crap.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

What are you talking about??? Are you saying that one wrong act of government justifies others?

Yep. Same as if you punch me in the face, don't be surprised when I punch back. We are both wrong but such is life. Leftists have imposed their unconstitutional will for two years now. Funny how upset they get when they get a taste of their own medicine.

Seems NetFlix is still struggling to find its footing now that they are not the only game in town.

I still enjoy it and pay for extra screens so my kids can watch it from anywhere. My daughter travels so much that sometimes the only way I know where she is comes via the emails telling me a new log on happened in such and such state.

The foreign shows they are now putting on there are often far better than anything we are making these days.

I know. Their english language original content largely sucks. Stranger things should be starting. I'll reup then.

I really don't watch that much. Maybe if I was retired. There are lots of old movies on TCM. But I generally read.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

his is what the voters wanted obviously.

I think it is unwise to assume that just because something is happening the people wanted it to.

Perhaps they are like you and just have given up on trying to stop it.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

WTF? Half the republican states passed abortion laws in violation of Roe V Wade.

Half? LOL

What?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Funny as irregardless isn't a word

 

[Billiejeens]

Not weird at all. The Constitution was designed to protect the interests of the minority from oppression by the majority.

Is it weird that you didn't answer the actual question?

 

[schmidlap]

The legislature passed this bill. Are you saying that a legislature can be authoritarian just as much as a single person?

An authoritarian controlling a legislature body is hardly without precedent.

We'll see how a such a grandstanding vendetta against a capitalistic entity over expressing opposition to discriminatory practices plays out.

His popularity is high and people are moving there in droves. Is it just the weather? Businesses moving there too.

Two of my clients moving to Fla because of the politics there. Not Desantis but its easier to garner permits and such when compared to MA. Their words.

 

[bendog]

Does anyone really see a constitutional or civil problem with not allowing private business to discriminate on the basis of race or religion or gender?

 

[postman]

Link?

Stick your head up your ass. And while you're there, type "GOOGLE" into the URL.

 

[postman]

Half? LOL

What?

Even more when you include "trigger" laws.

And now adding a $1Bn in bonds to the local county.

Disney’s debt is about to be Central Florida taxpayers’ problem

On Wednesday, the Florida Senate voted 23 to 16 to eliminate the Reedy Creek Improvement District, dealing a major blow to Disney and by extension, taxpayers in Central Florida.

Special district bill will leave Orange, Osceola taxpayers with Disney debt, Democrats say

Merriam-Webster defines irregardless as "nonstandard" but meaning the same as "regardless."

Not sure who is right here. You or I?

What the hell is "nonstandard"?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

^^^Look at the lefties enthusiastically whoring for the billionaire corporations. LOL!

It’s interesting how the right’s bigotry and hate exposes the truth that conservatives are big government authoritarian tyrants who have no problem using the authority of the state to punish and disadvantage those who disobey and refuse to conform.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Even more when you include "trigger" laws.

Link please. I am actually pro choice but not a hill I would die on.

Again, he was elected so the people presumably that elected him support him doing so. Yes or no? Sound like he is doing what his voters want him to do?

Gov. DeSantis' Job Rating Steady, Leads Re-Election Match-Ups: Poll

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ job rating is nearly identical to what it was one year ago, and the Republican is leading all Democratic challengers in seeking re-election in November, a new poll says. The Mason-Dixon Poll released Tuesday shows 53% of registered voters statewide approve of how...

Authoritarians can wee wee up public support, and are ineffectual if they cannot.

Being elected is not a pretext for statist tyranny in the form of political vendettas.
