But Then One of Their Biggest Clients, the National Hockey League, Found Out I'd Worked For Trump.

Assuming this is true (not saying it isn't but we've been burnt before on this stuff), look how attenuated the connection to the NHL is.
This is a guy who was working in an important but fairly low level position for a private airline that provided airline service of one NHL team. That's it. He helped make sure the players got to the games. That's the only connection to the NHL. How, exactly, did anyone at the NHL even learn this guy exist?

It would also help if PDT dished on Biden and FISAGATE. His cowardice is isolating his supporters and tainting them with a form of "evil" that is much more prevalent in career pols. Even the accusations of supporting violence is more common in BLM supporting dems than it ever was with Trump despite the tacit consent of violence provided by Barr's evil tenure at DOJ.

It doesn't have the history/legacy of the other major sports in the U.S. So stunts like this won't endear them to people like me who were ready to treat leagues relatively.

1. Fuck the NHL
2. Boycotting may help, but it also might not - at least not soon. Not going to games or movies or theater shows or whatever is easy. Cutting the cord is easy, too.* But a lot of money - serious amounts of money - are tied up in the distribution deals. That money is going to be paid by the carriers, networks and advertisers. Those deals are usually multi-year. Cutting it off *now* will probably pay off, but it may not pay off for several years. This will happen if enough people do it. The NFL is going to see its salary cap decline for the first time this year, and a lot of it is around eyeballs not being on screens consuming their products. These things take a long time. Shutting it off for a month or a season won't do it. You have to shut it off forever if you want to punish them. * For those of you only half-cutting the cord, consider a service called Philo. Philo is essentially mid-range cable, but without news or sports or local channels. Yeah, it still enriches bad actors like Discovery, but it doesn't put a nickel into the news or sports complexes.

tortious interference in an employment agreement (internet sources):
A person or entity commits tortious interference when he or she intentionally disrupts, obstructs or harms another's contractual relationship or business relationship with a third party. In other words, when a person acts in a deliberate way as to cause harm to another person's contractual relationship or business relationship, that person can be held liable for the injuries caused.

Clutch cargo,
During my yuteful period of higher ed, I actually read a lot of Marxist economic theory because ironically, I had several required econ courses that were taught by a professor of such. One of the complaints, in foreign trade, etc. were that MultiNationalCorps (also Trans National Corps) engaged in core and periphery operations. Essentially the periphery nations (read flyover) was stripped of any economic surplus in order to feed the core advanced nations (read Silicon Valley, DC area, and Wall Street). You often see the same dynamic in states where a center city sucks the surplus capital and spending out of the rest of the state via state economic policies. One of Montaigne's points on republics was that it works best in a small republic where basically people are homogeneous in policy desires and in wealth. Once a country's population begins to diverge in either, disaster happens. In policy, this was one of the reasons for state churches is to homogenize thoughts as to what was good/bad and what was desirable/undesirable for regime stability.

"But I just don't know if anyone will ever give up their TV. I've taken a big half-step myself, but it's still only a half-step."
Many of us are. We've been off cable for going on years, we cut Amazon Prime last year, Netflix the year before, wife quit FB and Instagram this year (I was never on either), and I switched to DuckDuckGo this year (search results aren't as on-point as Google, but close enough 90% of the time). We're cataloging options for other services to that we eventually move completely away from Amazon, Hulu, Google, etc. General principles are, if it's not feasible to drop spending on Amazon or Target or whoever from $1000 year to $0, drop it at least from $1000 to $500. And next year from $500 to $100, then to nothing. And given the choice between multiple liberal companies, do business with the least powerful/influential one. Barnes and Noble is probably liberal, but I'll order Washington's Crossing from them because they don't own server farms and produce woke TV shows like Amazon.

It's harder to divest than I thought. I had a former friend who used to be open to people of different political persuasions just baldly post that she wanted anyone to defriend her who thought there was election fraud or that BLM was more violent than the January 6th incident.
So I defriended her. Even though I haven't seen her in person in over a year I am remarkably sad over this. And I'm still trying to work myself up to delete Facebook. I haven't posted or viewed it regularly in ages but my gym posts there and family in other areas posts there. I guess I just need to admit that if such casual contact as Facebook is the only effort I'm willing to make to stay in touch, maybe I'm not really connected after all. As an introvert it seemed like a nice compromise. I've lived at the same house for 25 years and I used to send out Christmas cards every year and include my address and email and cell phone. If they wanted to know how to contact me - they would know. Posted by: Iris at January 13, 2021 05:28 PM (6lKe4) 99

Posted by: alexthechick - Boobs and hysteria at January 13, 2021 05:20 PM (GbPPJ) ++++ Assuming that it's true - and I will - this almost answers itself. Why do you think folks like AOC telegraphed their intention to build their hit lists? I would be willing to bet that no on at the NHL or the Hurricanes discovered this on their own. A Leftist data miner and list-keeper was probably assigned this person in their list of people to watch. He probably updated his LinkedIn when he got his new job, or made a Facebook post about his new employment, or something else. Very common. They then ran it up the chain to find someone in the network who could apply pressure. Maybe they struck out at the airline but found some medium/big wheel at the 'Canes or the NHL who could apply pressure by proxy. They could have AI doing the opportunity identification, since all the tech firms have access to things like the resume sites or directly own other major professional and social platforms. This wouldn't even be hard to do. They have their list. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at January 13, 2021 05:28 PM (UZVEt) 103

I cancelled Amazon Prime, although I'm still paid through March. I'll finish up this season of The Expanse, because it's two more episodes, and that's it. I need to kill my FB account as well, at least the one in my actual name. The other one is basically for keeping a list of contacts with people over the years.
Part of the problem is that you can't just cut out things, you need to replace them with something else. Buy puzzles, expand your library, start playing around with homebrewing or cheesemaking. Find something social to do: I love tango and swing dance and contra dance, for example. Take an art class. If you just cut off TV, you'll eventually grow miserable and run back to it. You have to fill that void with something else, and make sure you avoid the triggers that led you to TV in the first place. It's like dieting: if you cut out the junk food, great. But you probably weren't eating junk food just because it was there. There's probably a trigger somewhere that you need to figure out.

I've been able to fo it with most sports, didn't watch any when they came back after thier BLM blow fest, except the UFC whose owner and many fighters are the few pro athletes pushing back against this shit.
This weekend I'll make the minor step of moving banks to one that i can't find any statements in support of BLM or condemning the constitutional rights of people to demand fair elections (TD Bank) Other switches are tough, as every high speed internet company, tv provider and mobile phone company are all in the same marxist bag, and we're at a point where you just can't completely drop at least 2 of those 3.

121 Colorado Alex,
Well, that variety of states was kind of baked in the cake as no existing colony was going to be taken over by another in 1776. It was a fortunate natural experiment that worked until an unbridgeable gap occurred at the state level regarding slavery. Returning to the pre-civil war autonomy is about the only way that this nation is going to be able to hang together peaceably and that requires neutering a large part of federal centralization since the Civil War. Don't think the nation will be able to do that. Essentially, instead of Caesar, PDT was one of the Grachi brothers. Rome at that point needed a change in regime type due to expansion and could not take the structural steps to do it. At this point, any formal constitutional reform is impossible by mutual agreement and the jerry rigged stuff by Scotus is going to fail because they cannot reflect the diversity of opinion in the nation.

Having dropped Facebook days ago for Mewe, I do agree it's hard in the beginning to no longer have that "acquaintance" circle of people I knew closely that now I kept up with passively. But, then again, 2020 brought me a very young "never getting cured" chronic leukemia cancer diagnosis. So, sometimes, you figure out what matters and what doesn't. Posting about my meal for the day doesn't matter. But standing up for the values of the country in the small ways I can does. And I told the folks I was heading to Mewe permanently (I had an account since November, but was dual posting to both b/c no one would move). So far, only my in-laws have joined me there...but they are enough...

I now think that this was planned by obama and his team going back to the zimmerman case. Remember how well that worked for them? A black thug attacks an hispanic and gets killed, and they blame whitey and burn down cities demanding justice. Let's assume you're right about the op. So what? They had to know there were going to be infiltrators-especially that rally. And, whoever organized the event should have made it "very' clear that the Capitol is not a place to commit even the smallest of crimes.

And in the meantime, the House has impeached Trump again.
___________________ At the trial, Trump's lawyers should demand that the senate prove that the election wasn't stolen. That's the basis for their claim that Trump incited people -- by falsely claiming the election had been stolen. So the senate should have the burden of proving that Trump's claim was false before they can convict him of anything. Bwahahaha. Let's see them do that. No court has been willing to even consider hearing the evidence, so let's have the senate do it. The American people deserve to know if their elections are rigged or not. If the senate says they are not rigged, and it does say that, then prove it with evidence. Out in the open, where everybody can see it.

Hopefully boomers and zoomers will learn to pirate things like millennials and Xers.
qbitorrent, utorrent. the pirate bay is still up. Use Google to make sure you've found the "real" one as the URL changes when it gets taken down. Find a pirating reddit that keeps you up to date on the best options. As for sports, those are hard for most straight men to give up. But here's something you should consider: while it may be hard to stop watching your favorite team, it's really not that hard to stop watching other teams. In fact it's so incredibly easy that you will feel foolish for not having done so earlier. Posted by: Funkotron at January 13, 2021 05:47 PM (nNv6v) 256

157 Bertram Cabot, You can read Federalist 10 but the major point of it was that Madison made the point that a dominant faction might capture a state but due to 13 states at the time, a dominant faction in one state could not capture enough to dominate the nation. The price is that you might feel repressed in a state by a faction but that faction would be unable to repress the nation as a whole. Classic political theory argued that a diverse population required an empire model of an emperor (and perhaps a parliament with aristos and commoners) to advise and consent--not rule. In that setup, the aristos and commoners were both subjects of the ruler.
We inverted that setup with a Congress that was meant to rule with a president to manage day to day operations. But effectively, Congress has outsourced its lawmaking and budgeting to outside interests and the executive so if the executive and Congress disagree now--the executive is essentially fighting the proxies of the interest groups. Biden was selected by the interest groups as someone who will go along as was Obama. Trump either did not care nor did not want to play that game much. He thought he was there to run the country.

Gman: "Ratings for NFL playoffs and College championship game were in the tank. People realize they have options including not watching."
Ten years ago, I tried to watch as many College Bowl games as I could, and there are a LOT of them. Five years ago and I probably caught about a third. Last year I watched about a half of the Championship game. This year? Not a single play. Don't even know what the Bowl games are called anymore. WRT NFL, ten years ago I watched two games on Sunday, some on Sunday night, Monday night, and sometimes Thursday night. Five years ago, I watched at about half the rate. Last year, I watched about half of my local team's games and that was it. This year I quit cold turkey after about game four. Let's just say I've discovered a good bit of time to do things infinitely more rewarding. I thank the football gods for showing me the way out of their prison.

After a week of no tv (at home) I didn't miss it at all. I had more time for hobbies, reading, prayer, study, rest, music. MORE TIME THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY FLUSHED DOWN THE BLACK HOLE OF TV.

Full Retard. Posted by: davidt at January 13, 2021 05:49 PM (l3+k2) ------- More telling: A solid week of calling what happened last Wednesday an insurrection and a coup and damning Trump made his approval rating in their polls plummet from 52%... to 48%. Before it started rising again, apparently. The irony that they were in the midst of trying to solidify a coup last week apparently escapes them.

262 CN,
If I was PDT, I would be waiting until the last possible moment to release this stuff if at all. From all appearances, PDT rejected the choice to launch an immediate civil war by trying to use the military to become a new Caesar. Despite his bluster, PDT is NOT old Hickory that told John Marshall to fly a kite. He blustered but followed the law as determined by others. In DC, effectively, PDT is Andrew Johnson after the impeachment and because Washington runs on power--he is at the mercy of the DC gang of vicious monsters. There is also the fact of his family at stake for criminal charges of various sorts--releasing the dirty laundry of the Deep State will guarantee charges for them. Would you take that bet with your own family? Posted by: whig at January 13, 2021 05:57 PM (pO7gM) 342

Some thoughts on the view from the rest of world.
The Japanese news is very woke - Most foreign news (not europe, but from countries where they do not speak English or have a lot of foreign offices in the US) get their information from the US news. So most Japanese news about the US is the US news with more ridicule and white racism. It's funny, but I think people inside the US are more easily insulated from how fucked up it really is because they live in these little enclaves of sanity. Our fucking cities were burning all summer. Our schools are teaching boys that it is Ok to be a girl. Drugs and vice are celebrated. You see, if you live in a Japanese town which is safe and sane, it is not much different than living in a US town. The difference is that when the US dude watches the news he thinks it is being exaggerated and that most of the US is OK. When the Japanese dude watches the US news, he thinks the whole country is fucked. Posted by: Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest at January 13, 2021 06:06 PM (LWu6U) 384

'I was thinking we need another American Revolution but now I'm wondering if maybe we need a repeat of the French one, because they kind of went batshit insane with rage there.' I believe that you will get a gender indeterminate person on a horse of color as your new leader. Otherwise in non woke speak, a man on a white horse in a coup. Figure a military or deep state intel leader as most politicians have the stink of a dead fish on them. Neither Joey nor Kamala can pull off the Joe Stalin trick and rule from behind the curtain gets risky like Valerie Jarret pulling strings. Probably be popular even until the leader screws up. Chavez undoubtedly had popular support for his rule initially as the two main political parties in Venezuela were viewed as horrible corrupt people who did nothing for the people at large which was largely true.

When the CIA/FBI Coup went unpunished, they had to go on to bigger crimes to cover up the previous crimes. Hence the Mueller Fraud and CIA impeachment whistleblower, for example.
Now they've just stolen an election in broad daylight. And conspired with Antifa to create a False Flag event to frame the President and 80 million Americans. Now they must keep committing even more and greater crimes to protect those crimes. That is why they are fully feral and mad-dog rabid, foaming at the mouth.

What needs to happen is plain old lawsuits with punitive damages. Problem is that I'm not sure that firing someone for their previous employment is illegal. That needs to be explored.

Military Coup Enters Fifth Day
No end in sight January 25, 2021 by Staff National Guard soldiers deployed to the nation's capital to defend against white supremacist riot activity during the routine transfer of power between administrations engaged in mutiny and rebellion. Their presence was orchestrated by government leaders to ensure the transfer of power to the Biden administration went through smoothly in light of the threatening and disruptive behavior of the outgoing administration. Over the past five days, however, these soldiers and military members from other branches have refused their duty and acted against the transition of power and the government officials. The military coup has not yet installed a junta, but they have prevented the transfer of power and disrupted all major functions of the civilian government. The leaders of this coup appear to be largely captains and colonels who assert that the incoming administration is illegitimate and that they are fighting only for their votes to be counted fairly.

Parler CEO Says Conservative Twitter Competitor May "Never" Return
WEDNESDAY, JAN 13, 2021 - 18:05 https://t.co/PF7ZvYSJ30?amp=1 Twitter competitor Parler may be gone for good, after Amazon Web Services (AWS) suddenly dumped the social media platform from its cloud hosting service amid a pro-Trump 'cancel crusade,' following last week's protest at the US Capitol turned deadly after a small group of activists ran amok inside the US Capitol building. Parler CEO John Matze told Reuters on Wednesday that he does not know if or when the service will return for its 12 million users, adding that the best thing would be if they could return to Amazon. "It could be never," he said. "We don't know yet." Posted by: BetaCuck4Life at January 13, 2021 06:11 PM (FBrfY) 413
Fuck Crenshaw. We have no shortage of McCainiacs in DC willing to heroically denounce Israel's enemies and lead America into more wars against them. It's nice that he has some combat experience but that's not strictly necessary for the role.

363 blaster, a lot of the initial spying on PDT due to Russia Russia Russia has been released in dribs and drabs. The problem is that the public did not pay attention and the media and DOJ rank and file made darn sure that the Dems Deep State operatives were protected from any consequences.
That is what his original statement dealt with. Have to look up on the election fraud but he probably did see it in real time in a SCIF but proving it would be impossible with both the Republicans, his appointees, Dems, and the media refusing to go there.

My TV is on (at most) maybe 2.5 hrs a day - depending on which old StartWreck version is being shown on H&I. If I'm awake at 2330 hrs, I'll see if MeTV is showing an old T'Zone episode I haven't seen 30 times already. Other than that usage, the T&V is OFF. I can't take 'local news' that's nothing more than 24/7/365 'The COHHHH-vid!' propaganda and I refuse to buy into their bullshit about it.
I long ago began my own series of Personal Boycotts for anti-freedom purveyors of product. Same for things Chinese. I like seafood, but when Congress said it was okay for producers (a/k/a 'importers') of frozen seafood to remove the Country of Origin designation on the bottom right corner of the package back, that was end-of-the-road for my purchases. WITH CoO labeling, it was easy to tell where seafood was imported from. WITHOUT CoO labeling, I was forced to assume that ALL of it was coming from Communist China - even tho' Laos, VietNam, Thailand, etc were also other sources. Last time I looked in the frozen section at W'mart, the CoO labeling was back on - but for how long? Aye, matey, there's the rub ...

This will keep happening, forever, until conservatives get serious about boycotting one or two of them into bankruptcy.
_______ Yes. And I've gone a good way toward that end. But what we need is some kind of coordinated effort. There are just too many to keep straight whom to avoid this week. We need to isolate one or two, and direct our efforts against them, until they fall or cave sufficiently. And by "cave sufficiently" I DO NOT mean issuing some corp-speak non-apology. I mean firing people at the top. Then we go to the next. That's the only way it's likely to work. But I won't bet on us doing so; we are too disparate, and don't live to be part of a movement the way they do. I wish our side would prove me wrong here.

Texas Election Official Arrested For Widespread Vote Harvesting And Fraud
January 13, 2021 https://t.co/uKsQTqdBiu?amp=1 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced the arrest of Rachel Rodriguez for election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail, and unlawfully possessing an official ballot. Each charge constitutes a felony under the Texas Election Code. Rodriguez was exposed in a Project Veritas video last fall while she engaged in vote harvesting leading up to the 2020 election. The Election Fraud Division of the Office of the Attorney General reviewed dozens of hours of unedited, raw footage, which led to this arrest. In an uncharacteristic moment of honesty, Rodriguez acknowledged on video that what she was doing is illegal and that she could go to jail for it. If convicted, Rodriguez could face up to 20 years in prison. Posted by: BetaCuck4Life at January 13, 2021 06:22 PM (FBrfY) Posted by: BunnyFooFoo at January 13, 2021 06:23 PM (0Uf+z) 480

Trump is many things. But being a coward isn't one of them. Know that's a minority opinion here currently. But I stand by it: he's not a coward I think he is afraid for his Family Posted by: It's me donna at January 13, 2021 05:26 PM (Zmnko) I'm not sure that anyone here thinks that Trump is a coward (if I'm reading this correctly). He's put more on the line for this movement - and this country - than anyone else save those who put on the uniform and man the front lines for the USA. Being president has cost him billions of dollars, and they aren't stopping with just him. His turn at the screw is just beginning, I'm afraid.

Do you need to boycott? The left would just put the word out and there would be emails sent to companies threatening boycott or protest.
Part of me believes that the silence of the right has led to companies actually believing that most people in the country feel that way. We need sites that track this stuff and lists of anti-conservative companies, and GOP members to whom they can write. Sure anyone can do it but 1) why put the effort into a site that won't get traction on the right, and 2) , we lack the support that the left has. The left has billionaires funding these groups so they don't have to worry about getting cancelled, people whose whole career is agitating for the left. Until we get ours doing the same, and people aren't worried about cancellation, it won't happen. Look at the people on the right separating themselves from trump.

The FBI is universally loathed now and acting as the Stasi for the Left will not expand that hatred. The Republican Party is dead.

One reason I was looking to switch from firefox is their latest update broke the ability to hover/zoom on an item in ebay. That made deciding whether to buy or not problematic.
I tried a low level linux browser but it was too slow. I tried to load Opera but it failed somehow. So I went Chromium. If you do this, make sure you're getting Chromium and not Chrome. Chromium is the open source version which means it's not as restrictive on where to get apps and add-ons. And it solves the blank line problem here so I don't get the spammer notice.

Don't forget that these companies are going woke not just because someone complains it's also because their WORKERS and the Officers of the company and probably the Board members are all on the left.
Remember all the hippies in the sixties and later? They all grew up and went into daddy's business and now they own it or are on the boards and just like in education they now control the foundational institutions of the country. This is why it seems so shocking that so many are so wrongly on the left. It doesn't look wrong to them because they've never really lived the life of socialism.
