How do you deal with a world where finger-pointing, bureaucracy, mob actions and a lack of initiative stall progress?

Bill Maher was off television for five months, thanks to the WGA strike. So naturally, he had a lot to catch up on in Friday’s edition of Real Time on HBO.

“Why is this guy picking a fight with Mickey Mouse?” Bill Maher asked Ron DeSantis tonight of the poll lagging Florida Governor’s ongoing jurisdictional and legal battles with the Walt Disney Company over the last year. “Well, first of all, they picked a fight with us,” a literally suited and cowboy booted DeSantis defensively replied
