Marco Rubio, of All People, Blasts Delta and Coca-Cola for Attacking Georgia for Its Voter Law, <i>While Continuing to Give the Concentration-Camp Operating Communist Chinese Regime They're in Bed With a Free Pass</i>

Marco Rubio, of All People, Blasts Delta and Coca-Cola for Attacking Georgia for Its Voter Law, While Continuing to Give the Concentration-Camp Operating Communist Chinese Regime They're in Bed With a Free Pass

Apparently corporations are now taking their political cues exclusively from noted Lifelong Lover of Reading the First Page of a Book, LeBron James. He loves taking selfies of himself reading books. But strangely, always the first few pages. Never when he's on page 230.

Byron York notes that Delta tried to pander to the activist left -- but is now hated by everyone.

Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio spoke to the company directly, at least through Twitter: "Dear Delta, You are business partners with the Communist Party of China. When can we expect your letter saying that their ongoing genocide in #Xinjiang is 'unacceptable and does not match Delta's values'???" On Wednesday morning, Rubio posted a video in which he said of Delta's CEO and other woke corporate leaders, "They're hypocrites -- complete and total hypocrites."

Other Republicans spoke out too -- see the link.

I highlight Marco Rubio because he was, of course, homoerotically beloved by the corporate Conservative, Inc. grifters in 2016.

Strangely enough, these corporate PR reps have largely abandoned their previous slobbering love affair with Marco Rubio.

The backstory makes Delta, and Bastian, look even worse. Just last week, Delta released a statement praising improvements in the bill -- on absentee voting, weekend voting, poll worker flexibility, and more. Even though Delta conceded that "concerns remain over other provisions in the legislation," the assessment was basically positive.
The statement prompted some ugly blowback from the left. Former MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann tweeted, "Do not fly Delta. Do not spend money with Delta. Boycott Delta. Ruin Delta." The hashtag #BoycottDelta began to fly around on Twitter.
Talk of punishing Georgia grew. On Wednesday night, President Biden said he would "strongly support" moving the baseball All-Star game set for July 13 in Atlanta. "This is Jim Crow on steroids, what they're doing in Georgia," Biden said. The president has consistently mis-stated what is in the Georgia law. As Karl Rove outlines here, Biden has leveled three specific accusations against the law, and all three are false.

This is why I despise -- personally despise -- the corporate shills of Conservative, Inc.

They always scold the right for counter-pressuring these corporations -- without ever taking notice of the fact that the left, from its activist core through congressmen through the (fake) president himself, are themselves constantly pressuring these corporations to propagate the political agenda of the hard left -- and are constantly succeeding.

How about your corporate cvcks stop attacking the right for applying reactive counter-pressure and start attacking the left for applying the original pressure?

And how about you start telling your Corporate Benefactors to stop joining in the left's nonstop unamerican socialist totalitarian political campaigning? How about you dare to put your checks in danger by once slapping, or even gently pushing away, the corporate hands that feed you?

But no: Can't do that. That's not the hill to die on.

Attacking conservatives for meanly bullying tiny innocent defenseless mega-corporations -- that's the hill to die on, by gum!

Says so right in the signature line of our checks.

The corporations will allow themselves to be pressured by the left but never by the right and that is the Marching Orders they send out to their Conservative, Inc. minions: tell the right to shut up. Attack Republicans for fighting back.

Let us join the Corporatist Totalitarian Socialist Super-State of the left, like we want to do.

Stop all this insolent back-talk from actual real conservatives who aren't on our payrolls.

The only problem with that statement is that right now, our President, VP, legislative branch, judicial branch, mandarian class and MSM are 110% owned by China, the people that we are theoretically at war with.

So really, we've already lost. It was a war without a shot, and now we are slaves.

I think you go too far back to blame GHW. He was pro-engagement, but at a time when there was still some possibility, and no threat. And his engagement was annual MFN approval, so it was all carrot and no bending over to get f---ked.

Clinton is the one to blame. He campaigned against engagement, but clearly that was just to increase the value of his flip and he got a lot of cash to flip and push for permanent MFN, and WTO.

42 33 No, Kemp's former Chief of Staff as Sec. of State was the lobbyist for Dominion. In 2019, state bought Dominion election machines to replace the old Diebold machines. Speculation is that some sweet grift was involved or possibly some blackmail over the contested 2018 elections in GA.

I think you might be right, but I give him the benefit of the doubt since at that time China was nothing.

He was also an ambassador to China (IIRC), but back then China was a total shithole. They were not a threat, and not a market. If he had been able to keep MFN annual, and influence their development, then it would have been a positive. I was skeptical then, but even now I think that there was a chance. Imagine if the US said "OK, we do not renew MFN this year unless you stop pirating goods." Or stop stealing IP, or stop imprisoning FG, etc. That was a very big lever and maybe he should have known that they would ratchet it to permanent basis, but I don't know.

106 Remind me why corporations like Delta are commenting on political matters on the first place. Furthermore why I should care what they say.

How about just fly the fucking plane and shut up?

At some point they need to be held responsible. They are taking positions which have nothing to do with their core business under the guise of social responsibility and those positions are hurting them financially. That sounds at a minimum a departure from their core business which directly hurts profitability, and at worst something they should disclose as a business risk on their 10k. Either way, it is dilutive to the business.

If liberal gadfly shareholders can push them to take actions which clearly hurt the bottom line, then there should be equal pressure from other shareholders to hold management accountable for their actions

I think yanking their tax breaks IS the "libertarian" position. Are not tax incentives a market manipulation, picking winners and losers? There being so many such manipulations, we have to start somewhere, so why not start with our enemies first? So removing them is being consistent with our principles, the stratigerie is in choosing the order of execution.

188 It's remotely possible that some in the GOPe have noticed the writing on the wall, and haven't deluded themselves into believing that Biden won the election or things will return to 2003 normal. Rubio might just have gotten a whiff of that coffee and wants to see himself politicin' along in 20 years.

But he's got a long, ugly slog ahead of him before I'll make that assumption. Will he keep playing both sides, or is he willing to take that leap of faith? Time is definitely not on his side, and I'd prefer we have more allies - can also save ammo that way. At any rate, it's a start, and he's got the advantage of representing one of the few sane states left.

If our amplification should result in other lefties going after that person - why, how could we have foreseen such a thing; all we did was stand up for freedom of speech?

256 The idea that elected officials respond to voter input is hopelessly naive. Quite the contrary, voters respond to politician input. So when a politician says something they like, voters stand up and clap. But politicians do what their big donors want; that's who they obey. That's why you have a GOP that bears no resemblance to its base. Be as supportive of Marco Rubio as you want in response to his conservative mouth noises. It will not alter his behavior (apart from him telling you bubbas what you need to hear to show up and pull the lever).

This is simple. Jim Crow was based on the premise that black people were not capable of participating in democracy and electing the kind of leaders who are good for society, and themselves. So Jim Crow was a way for white people to control the elections.

This new law is an attempt to allow the public to vote (white or black) and prevent the voter fraud machines controlled by the white elite from picking the winners,,....

Oh wait. That is the *opposite* of Jim Crow.

When it gets bad enough maybe the few patriots who always fight can prevail. It always comes down to just a few. Until then, shame and ridicule the spineless conservatives. They brought this on themselves. In the meantime, maybe the blog can pivot to backcountry extreme spots - they're a blast and you won't be bothered by the pussies - you NEVER see a conservative in the backcountry.
