Isn't Kings Island where Microsoft operates the world's biggest waterslide? And I believe that IMB runs the roller coaster at Cedar Point.

I like the rides at Intel better, but the lines at Google are shorter.

What guns are those? Trying to make business difficult for a company because it's voiced opinions that you don't like?

Call it what you like. Most Americans wouldn't agree with your characterization, anyway. As the Republicans keep on finding out.

They can stay right where they are but just go slower. Lots of other people invested in real estate and such on the strength of Disney's plans. And there will be less jobs than there otherwise would have been. And Disney is letting people know it. Lot of Republicans are making their unhappiness with Desantis known too, He's overplayed his hand. But he doesn't know how to retreat. There was an interesting story a while back about how Desantis fired someone he suspected of going behind his back to the press. She is a very well connected long time Republican apparatchik. Not only did he fire her, but he made sure that no other Republicans in the state would hire her. Now she's working for Trump. DeSantis tried to bury her. Now she’s helping Trump try to bury him https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/desantis-tried-to-bury-her-now-shes-helping-trump-try-to-bury-him/ There is something seriously wrong with Desantis. HIs guiding principle is vindictiveness.

Or twerking.

And what's this got to do with the fact that the Desantis is deploying the resource of the State of Florida to punish Disney for publicly criticizing the government?

I don't think that's true. It's been up to localities to decide. I guess now you think it should be up to big gubbamint to decide what the standards should be?

Maybe some day I'll start marking comments which are obviously jokes as such. Today is not that day. Nor will tomorrow be.

There's a thing called search engines that are used on something called the internet. You could use one of them to ask this question: "What secrets did Jack Texeira expose?"

Well, the MAGA movement was defending Texeira as some kind of hero. Let's see how the latest revelations affect that MAGA-world is rushing to defend Jack Teixeira, the accused Pentagon leaker who allegedly dumped secret documents online to impress his teenage gamer buddies "Tonight, the news media are celebrating the capture of the kid who told Americans what's actually happening in Ukraine," Carlson said. "They are treating him like Osama bin Laden, maybe even worse actually, because, unlike Al Qaeda, apparently, this kid is a racist." While making the case that Ukraine was actually losing the war, Carlson shared bogus casualty figures from an altered version of one of the leaked documents that misleadingly slashed the number of estimated Russian casualties in the war. https://www.businessinsider.com/maga-world-defends-jack-teixeira-the-accused-pentagon-leaker-2023-4 White, Male, Christian And Antiwar’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Suspected Classified Documents Leaker. In a tweet on Thursday, Greene identified Teixeira as “white, male, christian, and antiwar” and said this makes him “an enemy to the Biden regime.” The Georgia lawmaker then implied that President Joe Biden’s administration was “the real enemy” for “waging war in Ukraine . . . against nuclear Russia without war powers.” Greene defended Teixeira’s leaks, saying he revealed the truth about “troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/siladityaray/2023/04/14/white-male-christian-and-antiwar-marjorie-taylor-greene-defends-suspected-classified-documents-leaker/?sh=27b750dc5523

The right to an abortion within 15 weeks of conception.

As the scientists involved with this research noted, if anyone, contrary to reason, needed any further proof that the global warming we are now experiencing is human-caused, this should put an end to that. If solar cycles were responsible, as a few recalcitrant diehards and the millions who subscribe to their views maintain, then the atmosphere would be heating throughout. But, as even the early models in the 70's predicted, as the troposphere warmed, the rest of the atmosphere would cool. Which is exactly what is occurring.

It doesn't seem like a fair fight, what with Warhol being dead.

Yes, he should have disclosed those vacations. But he didn't get a free private jet trip to get there and back. Or, for that matter, use that friend's private jet to fly around the country. He didn't have his friends buy some real estate and not disclose the sale. Nor did he have that friend fix up the property and let his mother stay there for free. Nor did he have a friend pay tuition for a child whose legal guardian he was.

I doubt that Trump was truly involved in this. He had already cut Giuliani loose. He have him no pre-emptive pardon. I think Giuliani was looking to scam desperate people to get himself out of his own financial predicaments.

Great article about how Trump has managed at the CNN Townhall to make things a lot legally worse for himself than they already are. For one thing, he acknowledged that he was at the White House just before he left office when he took the documents. That means he willfully took the documents. If he hadn't done that, he could have assigned responsibility to his aides. Also, if he had claimed that the items were in his office in Florida as his term ended, he could have claimed that he didn't move them. That defense is shot too. This also means that the venue of the crime was in D.C. Not Florida. So no chance of getting fangirl Aileen Cook as his judge. So much evidence of his cluelessness. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/05/trump-mar-a-lago-classified-admission-cnn.html

Who is "we"?

What Biden rallies would those be? And why do you think that is determinative?

Which claims would those be?

Criticizing Truss = doing nothing? Wow, I guess that makes the Tories who threw her out of office China's accomplices.

Excuses for what? For lack of fanaticism? Has it ever occurred to you that voting against someone can be just as strong, or even stronger, a motivation than voting for someone?

Are you still living in the past? We didn't see people at Biden rallies during the 2020 campaign because of Covid. Donald Trump ignored precautions and nearly died as a result. He did manage to get lots of his supporters killed though. Study links Trump rallies to more than 700 Covid deaths https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/31/trump-study-coronavirus-rallies-433760

Basically, these judges are ideologues and ignoramuses. 2 out of the 3 were appointed by Trump. The 5th Circuit Is Furious That the Supreme Court Put It in Timeout The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is where law goes to die—a place where the nation’s most partisan jurists recklessly wield their power to enact hard-right policy under the guise of judging... A nightmare three-judge panel heard the never-ending mifepristone case, which seeks to pull the “abortion pill” off the market in all 50 states. The hearing was a humiliating farce from start to finish as Judges Jennifer Walker Elrod, James Ho, and Cory Wilson assumed the role of pro-life warriors hellbent on changing any rules and ignoring any evidence that might stand in the way of them ruling against abortion. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/05/texas-circuit-rage-supreme-court-mifepristone-abortion-pill.html
