    As Governor and Executive of the state he manages such agreements for the People. Is he supposed to represent big business over them?

    If the government threatens extra taxes on you, it's not exactly free speech.

    They don’t care. That not a single one can discuss this is good faith shows what this is going to turn into once rons election goes national.

    And they wonder why they can’t win elections on the national scale even with the built in advantages the party has.

    I really have no idea what happened to the Republican Party but I will celebrate when it is no longer viable on the national stage.

    Hears the news of the day, Republicans can't win elections on a national scale.
    I guess Bush, Bush SR, Trump, Regan, Nixon, Eisenhower, Hoover, Coolidge, and the rest were all just Democrats in disguise. lol

    So you will celebrate when the Republican party has no voice, but you believe in free speech.
    You can't make this stuff up. You really can't.

    Bush won due to a terrorist attack — no Republican has won the will of the people for president since Bush Sr with that one exception. If the house and the senate didn’t give a structural advantage to vacant land y’all wouldn’t be winning half the races you do.

    Only if you don’t comprehend what freedom of speech is. That is punishment by government.

    You do not have freedom of speech against individuals, they are free to boycott your ideas and vote against them.

    I thought freedom of speech had a universally agreed to definition but just like so many other things you didn’t know I should have known that wasn’t the case.

    You should take up this whine with the Constitution.
    Or maybe not run candidates so vile that even Trump could beat them.

    Oh, so when you stated the Republican party no longer viable on the national stage, you weren't talking about them holding office?
    Do you ever get tired of getting caught in your own flip flops?
    Let take a look
    Wasn't it you who posted this?
    Then you post this?
    Then this
    Then this
    Then this
    Like I said, you just can't make this stuff up. Any other flip flops you want to get off your chest while we are all here?

    Says the guy who has a different definition for free speech depending on how his political wind in blowing at the time.

    Yes, and? Stock prices go up and down. Second, if you took the NYSE from its first days to today and perform a regression analysis, the average of the NYSE increases about 8%, even with stock losses, the great depression, the financial crisis, and so forth. About 90% or more of the trading is done by computers with complex algorithms that look at everything from EPS, to other financial data to get the "optimal" price for that stock. You no longer have hundreds of people, stockbrokers, in the pit, trading.

    Personal stockholders can take a loss. Mutual fund companies can pass those losses onto their investor members. But corporations who hold the stock can't. And if you elect the IRC 475f rules as an individual, then you loss is limited. People nowadays want more of a high dividend yield stock than anything else. Blue chip stocks, like Disney, have average to below-average dividend yields. In addition, there was a time when bad news did come out, the stock prices actually went up. Now, the bad news is bad news and the good news is good news.

    It is called planet Earth and Disney never promoted any mental disorder. The mental disorder belongs to those hwo make such idiotic claims.

    And how is ANYTHING Ron DumDum did going to change any of that?
    How was revoking the Reedy Creek Improvement District going to change any of that?
    How is, after Disney played him for a fool, installing tolls on roads or increasing taxes going to change any of that?

    first just two people on the internet saying something doesn't make it true or valid in any way.

    Second it was done by Obama.

    Third why do you think it's justification that happens to both sides of the uniparty?
    Yeah I'm denouncing weaponizing the IRS against the citizens. And Joe Biden's gearing up to do it too

    Yeah, its called gender dysphoria. And while you have decided to put your fingers in your ears and chant so you can't hear anything, you can't just wipe away Disneys own public claims.
    Sorry

    Disney should shut down operations in Florida. The loss of tourism dollars, 77,000 jobs and the highest taxpayer in Florida may give the governor a new take on things. For one; he'd have to implement a state tax. No other company could match the taxes Disney pays to the state.

    Disney could take the hit. Just move somewhere else and start over.

    So the statement "Second it was done by Obama" isn't true just because you said it on the internet?

    Oh my Gosh, you've seen the words "Gender Dysphoria" on the internet and now you're an expert?

    Tell me, what is the treatment/therapy for Gender Dysphoria?

    Don't bother, I'll tell you. It's Gender Reassignment.

    So having Gender Dysphoria, what you think is a mental illness, is treated by the very thing you are railing against!!!! LOL
