By the grace of god you made it out of the river? By the grace of god? You dumb shitheel an otter bit your fuckin’ ear off. If anything your stupid ass got smote.

Spicylem , (edited ) in Ron DeSantis Says He Has “Moved On” And Disney Should Drop Its Lawsuit Against Him

The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.

He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.

Edit: typo

OkToBeTakei ,

he’s trying to Trump his way out of this, but after Dolt 45 just caught 14 more charges of “your’e fucked” today in Georgia (for a total of NINETY-TWO* charges across 4 state and federal indictments), perhaps that’s not such a great strategy.

*In New York, he faces 34 felony counts in connection with hush money payments to a porn star. In Florida, he faces 40 felony counts for hoarding classified documents and impeding efforts to retrieve them. In Washington, D.C., he faces four felony counts for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Heh

You’ve almost verbatim repeated what is in the headline. The only part you didn’t repeat is, verbatim, a quote from Ron DeSantis. I’m lost as to what you find misleading.

Spicylem ,

I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.

poppy ,

I did read the OP title as Ron wanting to back down so your clarification helped at least one person. :)

What an idiot. The Mouse does not forgive. The Mouse does not forget. DeSantis can't surely believe Disney are just going to give up and walk away after he threw down the gauntlet.

TheCopiedCovenant , in Rudy Giuliani, who pioneered the use of RICO when he was a US attorney, just got indicted on RICO charges

Whenever I hear this man’s name, I must remind everyone of the time in Borat 2 where he began to touch himself after having drinks with (who he believed to be) a young news reporter (happens around 3:30) Gross old crone …

IBNobody ,

And she wasn’t even his cousin!

popproxx , in Ron DeSantis Says He Has “Moved On” And Disney Should Drop Its Lawsuit Against Him

DeSantis said. “They are suing the state of Florida. They are going to lose that lawsuit. So what I would say is, ‘Drop the lawsuit. You have the state that even CNBC ranks as number one of all 50 states for economy.” -Looks up list of states with the highest GDP… Florida comes in forth place.

VerdantSporeSeasoning ,

… how did he think Florida’s economy was stronger than that of Texas or California??

Sarcastik ,

You have to make a decision. Either he’s incredibly incompetent and incapable of accurately quoting one of the most basic stats a govenor should know about their own state or he lies so much that he’s completely incapable of telling the truth, no matter how stupid the lie is.

Actually, you don’t have to decide, it can be both. Dumb and evil. Door #3

doggle ,

For (what little) it’s worth, he may be talking about this article:

cnbc.com/…/these-10-states-are-running-americas-b…

They do list Florida as the strongest state economy for residents. Not sure what that has to do with Disney’s lawsuit.

Im14abeer ,

Is that because Florida has no state income tax? Hmmm, I wonder how they’re able to run their state budget? Hmmm, do you think it has anything to do with what goes on there in central Florida? Nah, I’m sure they’re just doing a bang up job of running the place.

you know what’s really funny? of the 40 counts on the indictment, Trump is charged with 14. Rudy? 15.

lmao

NegentropicBoy , in Rudy Giuliani, who pioneered the use of RICO when he was a US attorney, just got indicted on RICO charges

From en.wikipedia.org/…/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corru…

"The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. "

Blastasaurus ,

Oh man that’s funny.

lolcatnip ,

Wrong RICO act. Trump was indicted under Georgia’s version.

mojo , in Girl, 13, gives birth after she was raped and denied abortion in Mississippi

Sounds like a Republican’s dream

jannis ,

Wouldn’t they like to marry the girl to her rapist, because sex outside of marriage is a sin or something?

2CatsOneBowl ,

And it gives them an excuse to marry kids legally

irotsoma ,
@irotsoma@lemmy.world avatar

Not in a monogamous society. Rapists don’t want to get tied down to only a single child wife. Also, there’s no dowry in our society for the rapist to take the burden of raising the girl off the parents’ hands.

Saneless ,

If Republicans didn’t have children with an abused woman, would they have any at all?

Exusia , in Georgia charges Trump with illegally trying to overturn 2020 loss
@Exusia@lemmy.world avatar

The most deliscious thing (and worrying if I’m being honest) about all of this is that his biggest cheerleader, Magic The Gathering Majorie, is a representative of Georgia. Either this all happens under her watch and she’s powerless to “take the heat off a guy” or she will pull every favor she can in her own state to reduce anything she can for him.

I forsee not only there to be many hiccups, but maybe even Watergate type charges for her office for meddling with the courthouse itself to try and fuck with the system. I would like to be wrong but this is a case that brings, perhaps not the actual charge but the spirit of, treasonous behavior. Anyone willing to end the democratic way of doing things for a dictator, will absolutely come to bat if it fails to try again.

xusontha , in Ron DeSantis Says He Has “Moved On” And Disney Should Drop Its Lawsuit Against Him

Disney: No.

Disney: No.

“Your punishment must be more severe”

wolfylow , in Rudy Giuliani, who pioneered the use of RICO when he was a US attorney, just got indicted on RICO charges

So a question from a non-American …. How likely is any of this to lead to actual conviction/incarceration?

What’s the feeling in the country? Is this all just likely to be brushed off?

Iwasondigg ,

We are in uncharted waters at this point. I don’t think anyone could really answer this question with certainty.

wolfylow ,

Fair point!

I’ve been pretty much shocked by a lot of the things that have happened in the last decade or so … kind of like “nobody would ever ever have predicted that, before ….”

Arsecroft ,
@Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

If you look at our history, there has always been a sort of club where those involved in wrongdoing end up being shielded from real accountability. There are no other examples of a president being criminally prosecuted for anything.

People say that is because the founders never imagined that a criminal would be elected president, but given the lack of mention of slavery until the 13th amendment I have a feeling that’s not quite the case.

nbafantest ,

Most of them, Trumps guilt is almost assured. However if he elected president again, he can pardon himself for his own crimes.

These Georgia charges are very likely to land a conviction, at least on som of them. And as president trump cannot pardon any of these crimes.

I personally doubt we will see any jail time for any of them. Maybe a house arrest or something of that nature.

Trashcanman ,

He can only pardon himself from federal charges. Since these are at the state level I believe it would require the governor to pardon him

stopthatgirl7 OP ,
@stopthatgirl7@kbin.social avatar

Not in Georgia! The governor can’t pardon people. There’s a special panel that decides pardons.

frezik ,

Also, it’s quite possible he’s headed for pre-trial detention, because he’s incapable of keeping his mouth shut. He keeps spouting off attacking the judge and witnesses, and can’t help but release privileged evidence to social media. If so, it’d be all but impossible for him to run a campaign.

wolfylow ,

Terrifying that we’re in this state tbh. Those in power really do just get away with it …

onionbaggage ,

RICO has minimum jail time of 5 years.

RGB3x3 ,

Oh man, is that minimum 5 years for each charge? Any more than 10 years and he’ll die in prison.

He should end up in Gen Pop like all the rest of us. No more privilege for the rich.

restingboredface ,

House arrest with no internet would be enough for me. Probably the worst punishment trump could get tbh

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Take his golf clubs, his reputation and his adoring crowds.

But let him see the world move on without him.

It’s enough to break a man like trump.

Isthisreddit ,

I suppose the fear is we will get a jury, in Georgia, where I suppose there is a high chance to get a MAGA fanatic, and you only need one asshole to sabotage the entire trial. This is always the risk with all jury selections, and the lawyers are very aware of this when they do voir dire

dhork ,

I think this one has the potential to stick. Not just because it’s a state charge that can be easily pardoned. But I think it tells a story that even Conservatives in the South can relate to: a bunch of elites from the North storming in and acting like they’re the ones in charge.

afraid_of_zombies ,

IANAL

I put conviction for some felony at 99% going to real prison at 1%. There are so much that can go into this. Years of appeals, pardons, arguments for house arrest, etc.
