DeSantos is a particularly shameless grandstanding blowhard. He’ll do well in that primary.

He is a politician, so yeah, I guess we could do listen to Biden blather on lying about his past and what not, but since they are politicians....y'know, its nice that you seem to get it though

For those who can't get through the paywall like myself, here's a different article on the same story:

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/04/redistricting-maryland-hogan-congressional-map-00022904

So basically, looks like Dems proposed a gerrymandered map, it was vetoed, so they proposed a better one.

Yes, I for one get that they’re all hypocrites. One day maybe you’ll get it too.

Yeah, that's not really what happened.  The governor vetoed the map, but the Democrats had enough votes to kick it to the courts.  The judge is the one who said "No" and forced a better map.

Correct, it was vetoed by the judge.

For the record, you have only said anything when republicans do it. You moderates have to do better than this. 

This is the second time I've ever said the word gerrymandering in the GC.   The first was after I posted a senator's social media post about Afghanistan (nothing to do with gerrymandering) that I follow, and RaiderHatersRevenge said he didn't like the guy because he was "anti-gerrymandering," so I asked him if he thought gerrymandering was good and he said yes.

Yesterday, he argued with me that the stated job and responsibilities of a FBI director, weren't correct and substituted his own job description, so I wouldn't hold my breath about RLLD coming to terms with reality anytime soon.

So basically this is the first time I've brought it up.  Which I did as a potential reason for why Desantis is seemingly picking a fight against Disney.   Try harder.

to be clear, yes gerrymandering is good

on both sides

its been turned into a political weapon, but its a necessary process in order to keep each districts population equal giving equal representation

And if the judge in Florida feels the same way as the one in Maryland, the result in FL will be the same.  In the end, there's only vitriol for conservatives in FL and none for liberals in MD.

So I would be ok if Disney said it’s fine? Uh yeah.  But you see, I would rather they said nothing and stayed out of it and just counted their money. But they went there. Nice try though. 

See so you admit it isn't the nature of the company you care about- it's that they agree with you

I am not above responding in kind, but try to restrain regardless, to avoid lowering myself to exist at the level of people such as yourself.

Interesting... all were AFTER the judgement, not before.  Was there a judgement yet in the Florida map?  Are any of them left-leaning groups... claiming that it wasn't right?

[Sean Mooney]

The other dumb thing here is- Disney gives to all politicians in Florida...DeSantis doing this and the other branches following him off the cliff seem to be pushing Disney to put their weight behind the left more

 

Also this will screw with people's taxes in Florida and hurt their pocketbooks. 

Again- just a dumb fight to pick and if this starts to go bad you know Trump is gonna use this against DeSantis in 2024.

I stay away from instagram and twitter, so I don't really know what's on there.  That said, if everything is after the fact, then it's not really apples to apples with FL since the bill hasn't even made it to the governor yet for the judge to even give his stamp of approval.

No.  My first preference is they stay out of things. Reading comprehension isn’t  your jam, is it?

I’m ok paying more taxes to take on woke.  Just like I’m supposed to be ok with paying more for gas and everything else to take on Putin!

This is good news! 3 of the 4 congressional districts in those counties are liberal! Plus the Orlando area is full of illegals that Disney uses to do their grunt work and the rest of us pay for.  This is a good day! Makes me like RD even more.  Thanks Rusty Pimpadoosh!

Disney giving dirty money to any politician that will do their bidding and turn a blind eye to their aggressive woke corporate talking points is baked in the cake. You need politicians of good character willing to say "no."

As for the effects of how it screws with the taxes in Florida and the local communities, I read this too. It may be true. It may also be the leftwing activist journalists serving their corporate overlords and blowing smoke at their political enemies. I hope the Florida politicians took it into consideration and gave this governance shift a good looking over. I really don't know enough to comment.
