This is some funny shit. I'd been wondering why The Mouse hadn't said anything for so long. Now we know why.

And, the Windsor Family? WTF? That's quite the Easter Egg of "Fuck You!"

Disney maintains its Pluto-cracy. DeSantis is feeling a little Goofy.

So the agreement is good until the death of Prince Harry & Meghan Markle's children (and Prince William & Kate's too, I guess) plus 21 years! It's essentially that Ron DeSantis will have to keep his pudding finger fucking paws off Disney's area unless the outrageously unlikely plot premise of the movie King Ralph somehow happens.

LMAOOOOO

I love it!

I've been (basically) saying it for months:

Fuck with The Mouse, you get the claws.

God. The Rule Against Perpetuities (the reason for the Windsor Clause) fills the nightmares of so many first year law students. Nice to see it being put to use for good.

This board loses, for practical purposes, the majority of its ability to do anything beyond maintain the roads and maintain basic infrastructure.”

Here I thought I was too old for Disney. But I forgot how good their comedy is.

Suggesting Body Heat for next movie night. Plot hinges on Rule Against Perpetuities. As they told us in my bar review class: there will be a few questions on the Rule Against Perpetuities. Don't bother studying for them you'll get them wrong anyway, just skip them and get everything else right. It worked.

Midge(t) DeSantis should never have tried messing with the mouse.

I think “21 years after Walt’s frozen head gets a body and successfully performs buttsechs” would have been better. In perpetuity!!

Sounds like just another bullshit lawyer grift. We have a firm here that fights every single proposal in the state if it involves taxes one way or another. They know it’s a losing battle but they always end up billing th state for their fees and getting them

If the fertile octogenarian is not brought up I will be sad.

Thank you. Even with all the constantly recurring bad news, this makes my fucking day. Following up on Boeboe the clown making even more of a laughing stock of herself, this all makes me feel really good. I might just give up reading any more news today. (Probs won’t.)

Any word from our friends at the New York Times about this latest DiSantis development?

I have true admiration for whomever thought of that Windsor clause and laugh at the lawyer for the city (state?) that agreed to it. That wasn't snark, was it?

And the people of Florida will keep voting for him and his ilk, all in the name of…responsible, frugal government, I guess? Or is it OK to be reckless with taxpayer money as long as you’re doing it to own the libs?
