The funniest part is chik fil a is absolutely only doing this because Popeye's has hosed up their profits. I'm too cynical to not see this as a business idea first and a humanitarian one second (or not at all).

I knew Michelle Malkin is a shithead of the highest caliber, but I’m actually kind of surprised to learn she was explicitly defending Proud Boys and groypers. All these right wing shitheads do it, but they do it implicitly by ignoring them and trying to shift the focus onto the dangers of Antifa, college campus hecklers, and Cancel Culture. I guess I assumed she’d do the same.

I guess I assumed she’d do the same. There's kind of a... well, it's not a civil war, but there's a skirmish within the TPUSA / PragerU / Intellectual Dark Web community recently. A lot of the cryptofascists that have been using those organizations as recruitment grounds have started to get a bit antsy, and are essentially starting to say "Okay, put up or shut up, we're all white nationalists here, right? We can stop pretending and actually start blaming the Jews for stuff?" straight to their faces at events and such. For the groypers and Proud Boys, platforms like Young America's Foundation (where Malkin was fired from) have always been phase one of a multi-part plan of radicalization, and they're feeling pressure now that Trump easily winning in 2020 is starting to look less likely. It seems like they're trying to push the Overton Window as far as they can to the right while they still have the chance, even if they need to burn down these organizations to do it. Expect a few other "big" names to jump ship and say the quiet part loud before all is said and done.

LloydDobler posted:As far as trans athletes, the thing I've heard is not that people are transitioning for the purposes of competing in sports, it's an argument specifically about men who transition who happen to be athletes already taking advantage of their genetic size and strength to dominate a female sport. The chuds actually think they're sticking up for women by saying that it's unfair for a trans woman to participate in certain women's sports. Reminder, most of the Right's messaging is just projecting. These people would 110% cheat at sports and use their TOUGH MANLY BODY to crush PUNY WEAK WOMEN if they could get away with it.

Lol they're just not even waiting a full day https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pa75xg/chick-fil-a-cuts-donations-salvation-army-lgbtq quote:Chick-fil-A says it will now focus its charitable efforts in three areas: education, homelessness, and hunger. But when asked more specifically, it did not go so far as to say that it will no longer donate to organizations that oppose LGBTQ rights.

No loving way CFA would. E doing this if there weren't a financial incentive. This has been a helpful way to clean up my social media, anyone that says anything about this being bad can be safely culled. I can't imagine living in the brain of someone that thinks this is some huge betrayal that will also ruin the quality of the food and service. It's both hilarious, bizarre, and really sad all at the same time. Like, after the Yuengling guy came out for Trump, I didn't whine about the end of the world, I just stopped buying it. This is the cost of elevating a loving corporation to any kind of a morality leadership role - they'll go the other way as soon as the bean counters tell them they're leaving money on the table. And it's not like their food is better than other places, anyway. Especially since I doubt anything will really change beyond some dark money orgs to hide the donations for a few years again. It's not like the owner came out and said it was wrong, he's just saying it's hurting the bottom line.

American Family Radio has been in full-blown "No quid pro quo, HEY LOOK OVER THERE!" mode for a while now. It kinda blurs together, but Bryan Fischer's swerve today was particularly weird. He went to a commercial break yelling "There was no quid pro quo, and even if there was, it's how countries do business with one another!" and when they came back, they played excerpts of Boys Beware, an anti-gay "PSA" from the 1950's equating homosexuals with pedophiles. Not prompted by anything, they just played it and then said "Y'see, we had it all figured out 60 years ago, it IS a sickness of the mind!" and then moved on to yelling about Democrats being too far-left. So, it seems like the Evangelical establishment is dealing with the current news cycle well.

From what I've been hearing on RWM stations the talking point has shifted from "There was no quid pro quo" to "There was quid pro quo but Trump didn't do it to get dirt on Biden, he did it because he said everyone in Ukraine is corrupt and we had to make sure we could trust this Zelensky guy before we could give him the money because we can't give aid to a corrupt government."

So I know it's all bullshit, but I can't help but marvel at the audacity of "we had to try to engage in corrupt behavior with the Ukrainian president to make sure he wasn't corrupt!" as an excuse.

Sondland’s testimony that Trump only wanted an announcement of an investigation and didn’t care if the investigation actually happened should kill that taking point, but I know it won’t.

Charlie, no, remember who you're talking to ! You're doing a Democratic at them, Charlie, you can't do that ! How are you going to pivot back to saying lefties are unAmerican ?!

Daddy is tired of all this poo poo and between wives, Ivanka is at school, and the nanny is out sick? Pop in Songs of the South. I bet all the Trump kids watched a LOT of movies when they were Disney-aged. Put in a movie and close the door, then spend the afternoon picking out new fabric for your almost-bankrupt airline's seats or cheat on your wife. They certainly weren't reading, I assume Art of the Deal and Mein Kampf were the only books in the penthouse.

So Rush Limbaugh plays the clip of Sondland saying, "Trump said, 'i want no quid pro quo" and that's all he plays. If you don't know that Trump made that statement AFTER the Ukraine call, you think it exonerated him.

Possible, but remember for quite a while there in the 80s and 90s Trump was seriously cash-strapped and most of his wealth was tied up in bad assets. He maintained the image of money, but stuff like emergency nannies (especially 24/7) just might not be possible however much he 'needs' one - wouldn't surprise me if he didn't have one at all at times. More important to keep the plane, penthouse, helicopter, limo, fancy dinners, and all the other outwardly visible stuff.
