    Contempt vs resentment is how I've characterized the asymmetry of the animosity between the two tribes, generalizing of course.

      @Horace It seems unlikely, which is why I thought Disney would just take this to court earlier.

      But it's not a trivial resemblance - what you describe is true of any and all politicians. What these two have in common is they both like to use state power to punish private entities they don't like, and have proposed permanent structures where they would have continuous leverage over such entities, in order to keep them in line in an ongoing manner. The only differences are the companies and the definitions of 'in line'.

      THat's not something you can say about every politician.

            “Look, this has gone from kind of going after a headline to something that has devolved into an issue, and it convolutes the entire Republican message,” Sununu said on CNN on Monday night. “I just don’t think — it’s not good for Governor DeSantis. I don’t think it’s good for the Republican party.”

            Sounds about right.

              Oh, God, he's saying the same thing as I did. Now I'm concerned.

                                  The question is, "Which of those two photos was meant to be taken seriously?"

                                  "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                  The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      I think neither of them were.

                                      I have a picture of me with a transexual in Thailand. I will have to see if I can find it and post it. I knew it was a transsexual and it was all in fun to have the picture taken.
