"SNIP........

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) declared that the Florida Legislature will reassert that the state has control of Disney World’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

He then mused about potentially selling off utilities, and even developing district land that Disney doesn’t own.

Said DeSantis: “People are like, ‘Well… what should we do with this land? Maybe create a state park, maybe try to do more amusement parks? Someone even said, ‘Maybe you need another state prison?’ Who knows? I just think that the possibilities are endless.”

........SNIP"

3. Despots hate anyone else to have any power. Disney has power.

[Irish_Dem]

10. And Disney outsmarted and humiliated him.

So he is out for blood now.

[Walleye]

4. Ron the dork is high on his own supply

[Lovie777]

5. Ya know all the GQPs act like spoiled babies..............

I can imagine if he were president how to would react to a real threat.

[NoMoreRepugs]

6. I'm thinking the little generals white boots are too tight.

[Cha]

7. This seems like a good place to drop this..

15. Haha. Very appropriate.

[pandr32]

22. Awesome stuff!

[Cha]

23. May it be the proper symbolic

end of deSadist.

Aloha pandr

[iscooterliberally]

33. Disney should turn that first one into a T-shirt and sell it online.

[Cha]

44. Yeah, maybe deSadist would

Implode

8. The moron seems intent on driving Florida's biggest tourist draw to another state.

[RKP5637]

13. The idiot seems to think everyone is forced to go to Florida. He doesn't get it,

Florida isn't that fucken great. And many are sorry they ever made rash decisions and moved to Florida. Imagine being stupid enough to move to Florida where they likely killed you.

[Vinca]

17. I'm so old I remember when people wanted to retire to Florida. Not any more.

I'd love to walk on the beach every day, but I can't imagine living in a place where guns are as common as cell phones and people keep voting the same imbeciles into office.

[RKP5637]

25. We moved here about 10 years ago. The level of hatred and angst just keeps

increasing. It is no longer a pleasant place. And the political environment is dangerous and bizarre. We are moving out of Florida as soon as we can. We are disgusted with the state.

[PortTack]

29. Good on you!

Smart to get out b4 the insurance business leaves, or the state is underwater!

[RKP5637]

36. It often feels like we're all in a Stephen King movie, maybe Storm of the Century and DeSantis is

the older man who keeps saying; "Give me what I want and I will go away." Well, something like that, I guess. ... but instead of snow we have hurricanes and also rising water.

[PortTack]

38. It must be difficult! But Sounds like you're okay with it..

[RKP5637]

39. Yep, a survivor! n/t

[Aristus]

40. Had to travel to Miami once as the embarkation point of a cruise vacation.

What a festering shithole of a city. I'll never go back as long as I live.

[RKP5637]

9. Seriously, he has some significant mental issues. I wonder if he was an abused child? n/t

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes this prison announcement is more disturbing than usual.

The threat is clear. If you don't do what I want, I am going to put criminals next to your customers,
who are mostly families and children.

This along with the fact he appeared to enjoy his Gitmo work is disturbing.

Americans sure love to elect brutal sociopaths.

[emulatorloo]

11. He can fill it with history teachers that acknowledge that slavery really happened

and authors of books his minions have banned.

[Irish_Dem]

19. He could put women in the prisons, to make sure they don't cross state lines for medical treatment.

[emulatorloo]

47. He's a power mad little man.

[Irish_Dem]

49. Yes he is looking more disturbed with this latest rampage.

Threatening Disney with a prison to be built next door.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. Reedy Creek is in effect a municipal utility district and does not own the land at WDW

A subsidiary of Disney owns the land and Reedy Creek exists to provide utilities to the development on the land. DeathSantis is pissed because Reedy Creek entered into a development agreement with owner of the land where the owner of the land put into place a long term development plan including a new major theme park and two minor parks. These development agreements are customary for major developments and were properly adopted by Reedy Creek and Disney after two public hearings that were noticed in the local paper in accordance with local law.

Reedy Creek cannot use the land for a prison without condemning such land and paying Disney the fair market value for such land. At prison built on this condemned land would be very very expensive.

DeathSantis is mad at WDW because he may be too short to ride some rides without his high heels

30. Interesting...thx for the informative post..as usual!

[Midnight Writer]

14. Such a petty little man.

[LakeArenal]

18. Climate change may make Orlando a coastal town.

Ron better to save that land for his rich buddies’ vacation homes.

[roamer65]

28. By 2100, Disney World is going to be an underwater theme park.

[LakeArenal]

32. Ironically, Disney would probably pull that off better than Republicans saving Florida.

[roamer65]

37. You were reading my mind.

They will make money from it.

[RKP5637]

41. None IMO will be able to really save coastal Florida unless everything is built on piers with

elevated highways ... or a huge seawall in some coastal areas. My guess is Disney already has it on the planning board ... they might even migrate out of Florida, eventually. Maybe ...

[ret5hd]

20. "Hitchhikers May Be Escaping Qpublicans"

[GoCubsGo]

21. Jeezus. It's like he's competing with himself to see who is the biggest, nastiest shithead.

Does he sit around all day, thinking about how he can out-asshole himself? Or, does he have a committee to help him out?

[cilla4progress]

24. Look, he's just trying to trigger us libs

I'd ignore...

[emulatorloo]

48. Nah, We're ridiculing him.

[Freethinker65]

26. Filled with woke librarians, parents that love/support their trans kids, and forced female breeders

[sakabatou]

27. He's trying to hurt Disney buy lowering property values.

[PortTack]

31. Disney will survive...white boots ronnie won't. Come gqp primary..he won't even carry his own state

[sakabatou]

35. I know. Like I said, "trying."

[Roland99]

45. Unless he pulled Eminent Domain, I'm sure the land surrounding Disney property isn't zoned properly

and good luck getting any zoning changes approved

[Yavin4]

34. DeSantis is such a small, small, small man.

In so many ways.

[Johonny]

42. GOP are no longer pro-busines

wonder how long it will take corporations to realize that.

[roamer65]

43. Disney would build a moat and turn it into an "Escape from Alcatraz" attraction.
