Disney plans to keep quiet about politics after publicly sparring with Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis over legislation related to LGBT content in education, according to The Wall Street Journal.

DeSantis signed a law eliminating Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District Friday, ending special administrative and tax privileges the company had enjoyed since 1967 after the company came out against Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill. Disney’s political allies in the Florida legislature said the company’s best bet at finding a resolution with DeSantis now is to stay out of politics, according to the WSJ.

“This was shock and awe from the governor,” Republican Florida state Sen. Jeff Brandes, who voted against the Disney bill told the WSJ. “It just shows how big a challenge Disney faced in saying anything at all in the legislative process.”

Republican lawmakers reportedly told Adam Babington, Disney’s top government affairs official in Florida, that the company may be able to salvage their special district if they stepped out of the public fight, according to the WSJ.

DeSantis told Disney to STFU or there would be consequences.  They learned the hard way.

Disney needs to fire their CEO, Chappaquiddick (Or what ever his name is) dude.

I believe the shareholders are the ones who told Disney to shut up even more than DeSantis did.

I don't believe the extremists running Disney are capable of shutting up, oh they may drop the narrative to a murmur for a short time but the mentally ill and zealots are incapable of shutting up any more than the religious extremist on the corner preaching about the end of the world. As a matter of fact the leaders at Disney are religious extremists, their religion is Gaia worship and transgender alphabetsouperism and their demand that we drink their Kool-Aid will not be silenced.

Don Surber, "Call it Spaying and Neutering Kids ":

Normal people are winning.

Via Kane at Citizen Free Press, Variety reported, "The Walt Disney Company is parting ways with Geoff Morrell, its head of corporate affairs, after a series of public relations debacles.

"Morrell, ousted after less than four months on the job, joined Disney in January from a post as the executive vice president of communications and advocacy at oil and gas company BP. But the transition was bumpy, coinciding with a bruising period in which Disney CEO Bob Chapek was faulted for his stumbling response to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” DON'T GROOM KIDS law. Disney said Morell is 'leaving the company to pursue other opportunities.'

"His role will be split in half. Kristina Schake will lead The Walt Disney Company’s communications efforts, serving as our executive vice president of global communications reporting directly to Chapek. Schake joined Disney in April, and was previously deputy communications director for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. She also served in the Obama and Biden administrations." ...

The Disney shake-up barely registers on the Richter scale. One perverted Marxist is gone. Another replaces him. The replacement worked for Hillary in 2016. I wonder if the replacement came up with that Basket of Deplorables line. ...

They won't stop, they'll just do it more stealthly.

Yup.

Not good enough. No way I would cross their threshold ever again. ANY Disney property or product.

The biggest takeaway here is that a Republican did something totally out of character here.  He actually fought back.  And he won.

So while we're on Carole King

I'm not following what you are trying to say.  I did not see anything about Delta or Georgia in that post.

Within referenced article. Note it says Disney's values But the writer meant Delta's values

A good example is Ed Bastian at Delta a few years ago, the Georgia legislature, withdrew a $41 billion-- a million dollar tax break that they got on a fuel savings. They've been giving it for 30, 40 years. And he stood up, and he said Disney's values are not for sale. A year later, the legislature restored that and retroactively.

So in the end, Disney didn't really throw out-- Delta didn't really get hurt by that. @Hoodat

If you are expecting anything courageous out of Georgia Republicans, you will be disappointed.  We just found out that Kemp went along with the mask mandates and the shutdowns because he was trying to land business from Rivian.  The entire State had to endure that because of the demands of one company.  No telling how many jobs permanently lost during the Covid scam, just so Kemp could get his Rivian kickbacks.

The Georgia GOP is as corrupt as they come.  They loathe small-government Conservatives like me.  I have a friend running for Congress.  She is constantly butting heads with the Party.  So they hand-picked a candidate to run against her in the primary, paid his entrance fees, and funded his campaign.

Even if they go into stealth mode, their philosophies will bleed over into their products.

That will not be purged, they just won't talk about it.

I'm just hoping they'll sell off Marvel so it can be fun again.

I lived in GA when Zell was in office.  Loved him. Hated the other douche who led the Clinton Impeachment.  forget his name now...

Sorry... The occult crap in Marvel is just as bad, and always has been. It's just that most folks don't know what they're looking at.

Not likely to happen, anyway. It's no doubt a moneymaker, and it is getting darker all the time.

Zell Was great! Wasn't it him that looked at a pic of some senator or another on a yacht with some bimbo, and said in quintessential genteel southern humor, something like:

"well, I declare... It seems like the good senator has changed his position on off-shore drillin'
