"Ron DeSantis is not running against Minnie Mouse"

I live in Canada. Our politics is really boring.

The Alberta Conservative Government is going to pony up $CAN 17 million to fund some addiction and mental health facilities for those in trouble with the law. The local right-wing tabloid reported it as straight news on page 3.

A conservative friend asked my opinion of Trudeau. I mentioned a problem with flights and vacations simular to Thomas' foibles but it's more complicated and nuanced. She had not heard of the issue and didn't understand it when I explained it to her.

I'm old. I remember Walt Disney's Disneyland featuring Annette Funicello. I had Disney books. I've been doing some spring cleaning and discovering the kids' Disney books and videotapes and CDs and DVDs. I've got shelves of the stuff. I subscribe to Disney+. Like it or not, Disney is a big part of Western culture.

I drive around listening to US politics on Satellite radio (Canadian politics would put me to sleep, see above). One of the hosts felt the need to explain "Ron DeSantis is not running against Minnie Mouse". Are you sure? A lot of people seem to share Disney values. I'm betting a lot of Fox viewers have a couple of Disney DVDs on the shelf.

First they came for Disney...

1. First they came for Disney.....

And Disney's lawyers said "Hell no! See you in court."

Ronny may end up regretting this crap.

6. Did you mention to your friend that Trudeau got his ethics department

to approve this latest Trudeau vacation before it happened or is that too nuanced? Not like Justice Thomas at all.

7. Yeah, that's what was getting her confused

One of those "there's no there there" issues
