I can't bring myself to root for Disney, but I can certainly root against DeSantis.
He is neither a legislator, nor a leader. He has no ideas other than manufacturing outrage, and seizing power.
In short, he's a republican. He's bad at this because he's literally a tyrant trying to turn a democracy.
Wait... so Disney had set it up so that, even in the event Reedy Creek were taken over or dissolved, the company could just take over its rights and duties officially? Does that mean Reedy Creek was only ever there to lend an air of legitimacy to the company town they were running, while the park and its surrounding properties could still operate as a company town without it?
DID DISNEY JUST PULL A FREAKING XANATOS

Yes, because disney, unlike republicans in general and desantis in particular: is actually a villain and not play acting as one.

pretty sure there are no winners in this fight.
Much like Trump's comeuppance, I'll believe it when I see it.
It'll be hilarious when it happens. Chances are he'll still try to run for president in '24, but the dude is so easy to anger and completely incapable of going off script so when he hits the primaries he'll get slaughtered by people who are actually conversational.
But yeah, just like with trump: game over, we're just waiting for the cut scene to end before the credits roll. Hopefully, this will be the end of the US's current trist with faschism.

Isn't that pretty much what we all said about Trump? At this point, the dude just needs to be able to stand behind a podium ranting like a Fox News pundit and the base will eat it up.
Trump literally just shouts over people until they give up trying, but desantis isn't confrontational unless he thinks he can win. Which is easily exploitable in debates.
Because of course, there was an alligator involved...

Florida reels after two children allegedly ‘die at hands of their caregivers’

I believe every "Oops I forgot I left the kid in the back seat. Tee hee I'm just a forgetful idiot." case should be investigated as a potential murder. It's an easy way to kill someone and pretend it's an accident, except that the "accident" defies belief. I don't care how many things are on your mind. Kid in the back of a car would be on the list.
Here's how well understood the danger is, and how seriously we take it. In Florida if you see a kid or a dog trapped in a hot car, you are allowed to break the glass. Call 911 first and let them know what you're doing, but you can break the glass yourself and you will not be liable for the damage. It isn't a "You did the right thing calling 911. Now let the authorities handle it." situation. It is a literal "Break glass in case of emergency." situation.

If it were just the infant in the car that'd be bad enough, but before that in December 2021 "her 16-month-old brother... drowned in a pond near her home while (the grandmother) allegedly napped." This is sus as hell.
