Gov. Ron DeSantis used to boast that Florida was where woke goes to die. Now he’s begging Disney to drop its lawsuit against him, and his poll numbers are in the toilet. Florida: Where presidential ambitions go to die.
@georgetakei Soon, in Florida, one could literally say that "my poll numbers are under water".
@georgetakei Don’t let your guard down about that monster. His poll numbers are only in the toilet relative to Trump and then nomination fight. He’s still very competitive in Iowa, very popular with the right wing base, and remains a distant heir apparent for the GOP nod if Trump quits.
@georgetakei
So he wants to get rid of Disney’s special district. Okay does that mean ALL special districts are removed? How many special districts are in Florida? I know The Villages retirement community is one, but don’t know any others.
Florida special tax districts like Disney’s Reedy Creek, explained

Hillsborough County has more special districts than any other county in Florida.

You know, in the Navy his job was to collect urine specimens from naval aviators.

If he has to fall back on it, do you think he'll ever be truly happy...?

@georgetakei Not only does he not want to fight Disney, he's asking for a summary judgment in his favor without fighting.

@georgetakei I’m kind of saving that one for Georgia.

Atlanta putting Biden over the top, and then taking down Trump would be awesome.

@georgetakei I think they say the sane thing before he was elected for the second time, yet Fl send back to the Governor. Maybe outside Fl but in there Fl likes him.
@HolgerFiallo @georgetakei No we don't, not all Floridians. And I hope Disney continues to sue him. They should sue him personally as well. His behavior goes beyond politics - he is just a nasty, disgusting individual.

@georgetakei

When you control the regulators, the legislature and the judiciary, and you still can't win a lawsuit...

@georgetakei Sounds like Mr DeSantis is learning a truth that most media/business/legal types already know: do not fuck with the House of Mouse.
@georgetakei Slam "woke", go broke.

@georgetakei

Never thought I'd say

DESTROY HIM, DISNEY

@georgetakei He also likes to say Florida is the most free state in the US. We all know fascists mean when they invoke freedom.
@georgetakei Huh. TiL.

@BonehouseWasps @georgetakei The alt-text is wrong. It forgets that Obama is also not from the East Coast. Also, before the Oregon Trail and California Gold Rush, no president could be from the West Coast.

Also, see:

@FunPoker @georgetakei I guess so, it's just never really occurred to me, tbh.

@georgetakei

Its not his ambition to be President that is a sad trombone, it is using "woke" as an insult that draws our contempt, not his wanting to lead, but his farming hate that disgusts.

Shitheads: Where Presidential ambitions come from to die

@georgetakei that's unfair. Lots of people come to die in Florida.
@georgetakei Florida. Where democracy goes to die. From a resident.
@georgetakei Watching him before the 2022 election, never understood his popularity. He comes off as a straight up bully. He might be good at something, but empathy towards the greater good, is not in his wheelhouse. Period. #desantis
@georgetakei
🥥 #Florida, where the political careers of would-be fascists should go to die. 🥥
#DeSantis
@georgetakei
Sucks to be him I guess. Sad. 
@georgetakei It's a shame, really, because so many of us were stocking up on popcorn ahead of the big cage match.

@georgetakei To the time of the Florida state song, Swanee River:

🎵 The Florida Governor, SWAMP HITLER
Fears, fears the gays
Gay, gay gay gay gay gay, GAY, gay, GAY!!!
We’ll keep saying “gay” all day! 🎵

@georgetakei

People keep forgetting about grandma, it's also where Grandma goes to die!

@georgetakei Good!! Keep it going. I hope this man is ruined after what he did to Florida!
@georgetakei Good he's a truly nasty person.

@georgetakei

Historically speaking, Florida is also where Republican presidential ambitions come back from the dead with assistance from the Supreme Court and FSB.

@Npars01

@georgetakei! Disney must not back down!
