I think it’s Mickey Rooney, playing Elvis.
At this point I am conviced DeSantis knows that his comments are a First Amendment violation and he is saying them to fire up his base. He is a well educated man and has to be carefully choosing his words so that Disney can make this a constituional case. This can become a rallying call duing his inevitable campaign.
Make no mistake, neither side wants this to go to the Supreme Court and for DeSantis to win. A win for DeSantis would mean corporations do not hold the same rights as inviduals. That ruling would mean an end to Citizen's United and all that corporate campaign money would dry up on both sides.

Buc-ee simply likes Red.
Being a beaver, it should be that hunting safety orange hat.
I am sad that now colors are weaponized.

That was just a correlation I made as a joke, but you can look at who Buc-ee's donates to see what I mean.

Rooney is too short. He could, however, play Mickey.

Hate to break it to ya, but that's EXACTLY the kind of person his political party loves embracing these days. He's the perfect person.

And of course two things can be true at the same time.
I think that's a nuance a lot of people seem to miss these days in our politics.

First, the original quote was actually from Mark Twain and second, he was talking about Reddit - not the rest of the internet.

Even if he had gotten 99% of the vote, it wouldn't give him the right to violate the constitution.

Today, he also said he was going to use the legislature to "nullify" the agreements. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that against the US Constitution's contracts clause?

There is certainly a base that loves this but Florida is a purple state.
We're actually a purple country.
Every time someone gets in power, they claim winning is a clear mandate of the will of the people for everything on that candidate's laundry list, totally ignoring that more than 50% can't even be bothered to vote in most elections so no, there is no mandate from the American people when anyone in high office gets voted in.
Him wasting tax payer money flying to other states for speeches and going after Disney on a "social" issue is not, I can assure you, the will of the majority of whom he governs. Even most people politically aligned have more important and personal concerns right now (just one of which is home owner's insurance).
What this guy is doing is making some people love him but between this and other things, he's not going to be flipping many independents in his direction - not on the state or federal level.
It would be entertaining watching him try to pivot if/when the time comes and he has to, though.

Might want to read up on Vice’s reporting (an organization that is no friend of Desantis and would generally be aligned with Jones’ worldview):Well, I guess that's one way to spin what actually happened.
Rebekah Jones' Viral Claims About Her Son's Arrest By 'Fascist' DeSantis Don't Match Available Evidence
The son of a former Florida employee who claimed she was asked to alter COVID data was arrested for threatening to shoot up his former school.

A 1983 SCOTUS decision laid out a case, and set the parameters for a judicial test to determine if a state can make a law that interferes with existing contracts. They can, provided:
- It does not substantially interfere with the rights of the contracting party
- The state has a legitimate and significant interest
- The law is reasonably related to furthering this interest
In my humble opinion, this is not really an open and shut case, but I'll let the lawyers on this site weigh in with their take.

Just a friendly reminder: This thread is supposed to be about RCID and yesterday it was very much on track. Today it seems to be getting much more into personal feelings about politicians. That's how threads get locked, and I wonder if some of the people posting here have that as their goal.

Yeah, um….can revenge against a company that spoke out against the Governor be the state’s legitimate and significant interest?
