Florida Governor Under Fire For Declaring WWE ‘Essential’ | All In | MSNBC
WWE is “essential”? What would we do without fake wrestling? 😂
R. Harris Yeah your right
@Gustru no need to hate on UFC you bozo
@Gustru and WWE sucks nowadays btw
@Sonik Silk the wwe isnt even entertaining nowadays anyway. Get real bud
Drink Me nah bro if I like …I like it…all that matters is that it entertains me. Have fun with your ufc dry humping or whateva. 😂
The days after this was announced Linda McMahon said she would spend 14 million in Florida. Investigate
LOCK HER UP!
@Josh B English much?
@Josh B floridas the definition of a swamp. Of alligators and corruption.
@Josh B How much are you willing to bet on that!
@Josh B Population density is tiny there compared to the likes of New York and LA. That’s why it’s spreading so fast in New York. Jacksonville is right near the very bottom of the list in terms of density. Fewer than a million people live there. Those low rates you currently enjoy will spike now people are going out and about again. Have fun.
Ok, could we re-open strip clubs, the people are starving for “content”.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea, they should re-open but for the opposite reason… Them girls are earning and they have lazy boyfriends and families to support…
People are sick of watching re-runs. But if these ‘modern’ wrestling fans go back far enough, to the 80’s, they will see what a wrestling show was about. Matches of 30 to 60 minutes, and very little talking to build story lines, plus wrestlers that knew holds. That’s what Vince is scared of. He might have to get his script writers to come up with decent length matches without the outside interference, he might have to pay extra for wrestlers that know how to link moves and holds and that will cost money. McMahon and tRump are the same. Do as little as possible for the greatest return.
@John Ian O’Neill class 🤣
What would Bill Clinton do?
Shows how we have Morons running the Country right here folks !
Not morons hypocites like this https://youtu.be/uy7pbJ2jvMo
@Rix Amoris watched it just now but they too are also a bunch of Morons we have in the media world & i am glad i have my own knowledge to take things upon myself to ensure my own safety & try with others but most of them didn’t listen to my warnings about this Virus ? Thank you for the link & Stay Safe .
@scot wentworth 👍
Morons are governing America. = maga
All about money again. It’s is sickening how people put others lives in danger for the almighty dollar
The governor from Florida is an airhead
…a ‘corrupt’ airhead.
He isn’t even a blonde!
republicans took money and in return loyal lap dog DeSantis did a favor for the person who gave that money.
SHOCKING! 🙄
@Aaron Shruby Fox News. They have been rated number one in cable news for the last 17 years because they tell the truth. If you want the truth that’s where you go.
@J. Muller lol🤣lol😂lol🤣lol😂lol – You called Fox News a reputable news source!!!
I’m dying over here!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@J. Muller you’re comical
@Drink Me that’s because you’re too stupid to know the truth.
@J. Muller sorry, i dont wear tin foil on my head like you bucko
Same day?! It’s almost like they’re not even trying to hide the corruption anymore.
Why hide it? They know they will get away with any criminal activity they want to.
Fascist states can do that.
@Carol Mahoney you are right, Democrats get by with anything they want.
They aren’t . They know that they will not suffer any consequences for their corruption!
@Lori Talbot Democrats are above the law.
*Yes, WWE is essential, right up there with the drug store, grocery store and hospitals. WTF is wrong with Florida?*
@Daily Beast, its Florida nothing else needs to be said.
Republican governors
Sanitize the Senate and each and every state. No state should have a Republican governor any more. Not one.
People here in Florida ain’t right, too much sun
@Ray Bellows they are as inbred as Trump’s sorry ars family of griftrrs. F trump and his enablers.
When you hear “Florida”, immediately assume they did something stupid, and end up being right.
Gov. Rick Scott overhauled the unemployment insurance system to make it harder for Florida resident s to collect unemployment insurance.
@hung wellHe need s to fix the unemployment system not be working on wrestling. His priorities lie with his rich donors not all the poor people that work in tourism. I see where Disney just laid off ten thousand people. How are people gonna get money to survive if they can’t even register. The people in Florida are more worried about gun rights and low taxes than they are being able to eat in economic down turns. Well the squirrel population is pretty good in Florida now maybe they can all use their guns to get squirrel s this fall.
@Charles Putnam Ahhh your preaching to the choir my man.
Had a kid just quit his job to move to Florida. You couldn’t be more right in that statement in regards to him.
@Fernando G Don’t forget poisonous life threatening algae blooms!
So, deSantis is missing sweatsoaked, muscled man on man “content”. Duly noted.
@Katherine AT H2O I don’t know about that, but, wherever it came out from, I just wish it would scuttle back, curl up into a little ball and, y’know, die.
deSantis I hear is on Grinder .
He is missing something but kindly leave your homophobic interpretations comments out of it.
They also have women wrestlers. Last night’s episode of RAW had 5 women’s matches.
lol
Dude… we are under attack! Are people are dieing and you are worried about wrestling match! where’s your patriotism? Money is more important than your citizens? WTF is wrong with you?
I kind of feel like you summed up America in that short sentence!
“Money is more important than your citizens”
Sadly this ain’t the 80s and 90s no more back when people had class.
I hope that the Floridians are proud of themselves for voting another corrupt Republican Governor into office. He’s doing a mighty fine job. America is officially been reclassified as a Banana Republic. No insult to other Banana Republics…
We’re outnumbered by idiots in red hats.
@Vincent Aguirre actually, you’re not outnumbered – you are in the majority… you’ve just been outplayed because the rules don’t get enforced.
@Stu Pidas 😂😂😂😂
Desantis should be dealt with in the worst way
Lmao
Sounds like the WWE is dropping something in his pocket.
And it isn’t the soap being dropped unless it’s in Ohio with GYM Jordan.
didn’t know that wrestling trunks had pockets, so you kinda have to wonder where IS he sticking it…
Chris Brinkley Trump has ties to the WWE
A Lot of something
Only in Florida. Period. Go figure
George Carlin: ‘When you’re born into this world, you’re given a ticket to the freak show. If you’re born in America you get a front row seat.’
The rematch! Donald Trump vs Vince McMahon. Its gonna be a summertime classic for the AGES!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Too bad we need him now
@Alco 251B probably the first time I might see him cry.
Apparently, if you are born in Florida you get a backstage pass
Good reporting on the literal scum of society, the WWE owners.
The right doesn’t even hide their malfeasance anymore.
They should be called the wrong wing.
And the left are the good guys right?
They’ve never hid it, you are just paying attention now
This the same govunor that didn’t want to shut down beaches during spring break
e i r a You sound a very smart person. Maybe you should be governor 😁
@e i r a
Sad to say but your governor wants all Florida residents to do as they’d like and live a free for all lifestyle like it was new yrs so that everyone in Florida catches the virus. Sorry I feel for you.
@Raider Girl
At this point, just given the decisions that the mayor is making, anybody can govern that state. It doesn’t take brains I know that for sure.
He needs to go. He doesn’t even know how to properly put on a mask, it’s hysterical.
He just enjoys wrestling and he wanted to have a party 😎
Content – oh no the telly tubbies are missing new ‘content’
Here’s a suggestion – Read a book
…….a book?………do they have pictures?, cause i only read the pictures
These new books are trash.
If anyone is bored in 2020, the’re addicted to modern day luxuries and need to detox
I knew from watching his first campaign ad for Florida governor, that Ron DeSantis is 100% corrupt and criminal.
WWE didn’t get into the governors ear, WWE got in his pocket
McMan got in DeSantis’ mouth after DeSantis dropped to his knees.
@What’s Up In Space? Governor DeSantis, the newest member of the Mr. McMahon “Kiss My A** Club!”
It’s called a coincidence 🙄
The governor said that WWE is vital to Florida because of tax revenue that it brings to the state.
@J Live yeah, surprising we could make out what he said while on his knees with his mouth full, wasn’t it?
