Disney snared in a SoCal corruption scandal, trying to 'influence public policy'

Sound familiar? The Mouse is starting to look like a sewer rat.

We all know Disney, the cuddly entertainment company that has brought us countless hours of entertainment in film, swag, parks, resorts, and tie-ins for kids.

When the company got into an altercation with the governor of Florida over its opposition to a state law prohibiting the grooming of grade-school children in classrooms last month, Creepy Joe Biden rushed to the company's defense, claiming that Republicans were "going after Mickey Mouse."

After all, the "Mouse," as the company is known, is supposedly squeaky adorable.

That isn't washing much any more, though. Disney's been caught in a new scandal, this time in Anaheim, one that's nasty enough to make one conclude that the Mouse is more like a sewer rat.

Get a load of this hard-bitten news from the Wall Street Journal (subscription required):

The Walt Disney Co. has become entangled in a corruption scandal unfolding in Anaheim, the southern California city where its Disneyland Resort is based, that this week prompted its mayor to resign.

In an affidavit filed in a California federal court, federal investigators describe a “cabal” of business leaders and elected officials in Anaheim who allegedly meet privately to influence public policy decisions.

he affidavit, released publicly last week, was filed in support of an arrest warrant for Todd Ament, former president and chief executive of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Ament allegedly lied on a mortgage application and embezzled funds from the chamber to help him qualify for a loan for a vacation home at a California ski resort, the affidavit says.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation alleges that Ms. Nocella was a “ringleader” of a group that organized a retreat on the same resort property that includes Disneyland and hosted business leaders as well as members of the Anaheim City Council.

Embezzled funds to buy a vacation home.

The poor man really needed a vacation home.

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of going to jail.

Isn't it about time for Disney to pay Congress for an extension on Mickey's copyright? The Congressional subscription checks may need to be larger since Disney has become less popular.

This one example of the shift by corporations toward marxist ‘’fascism’’ and efforts to gain total power. Started — in earnest — with Obama.

IOW — Abandonment of winning free-market competition in favor of left wing domination within new world order.

In Disneyland’s defense, in California, one has to remember that Orange County was a Republican stronghold until the past few decades, but now is solid blue - so if Disney wants their phone calls to be answered, they have to bribe the Democrats who now run things. So I can’t say that I blame them, in this case.

As for Florida, they were TOTAL IDIOTS, and I’m glad to see DeSantis sticking it to them.
