I'll take a page out of GEOTUS' book, "Think Big and Kick Ass", specifically its chapter on Revenge:
"If you get a sincere apology from someone, and the check you had expected, accept it and let it go. But if not, just wait for the opportunity and when it comes, hit 'em hard! ... Forgive good people but never forgive someone who is bad ... If someone knows [that] they made a mistake and apologize, forgive them and move on but never trust them again."
THIS^ is not a sincere apology, this is a blatant PR and optics restoration attempt and it's a shitty one at that. Had this been published immediately, and perhaps had they contacted the President as soon as he tweeted out the boycott and discussed things with him, perhaps I could see it as genuine. Goodyear allowed the slide to be shown, allowed a speaker to spout BS, DID NOT disavow it off the bat, DID NOT stand beside law enforcement support immediately, and WILL NOT disavow BLM even though they fall squarely within the definition of a "political organization" and are actively endorsed by the DNC (check the background of that cringe music video they released after the first night of the convention, not to mention their fundraising relationship with Act Blue).
There HAVE to be consequences for actions, these companies MUST understand that we DO NOT take these things lightly and won't simply be placated by a corporate-approved and specifically targeted letter by their CEO. Get on the phone with GEOTUS and earn back HIS trust, donate to law enforcement causes and charities and earn back THEIR trust, and lastly, openly express that you're committed to our business as customers by overhauling your internal policies to reflect ALL of our values to earn back OUR trust. The sentiment featured in this letter is conveyed using hollow corporate-speak filled with empty platitudes and "moral" grandstanding. Nah, they have to PAY, they have to learn a lesson, and if they don't.... HIT 'EM HARD!
Is anyone else completely embarrassed at the absolutely horrendous state that the Brady Room is currently in right now? It's such a shitshow from top-to-bottom, so much so that even the main broadcast camera for the White House's feed is horrifically out of date. The chairs are mangled, torn, and worn. The lighting sucks, the audio is trash, it's just an embarrassing showing for our country. My mom made the comment recently that, "it looked better when the room had a swimming pool" and she's 100% right. Think about it, those images from that room are shown all over the world and it looks so shitty. If they remove all of the chairs, they should overhaul that room while they are at it, with Trump's design and architectural acumen, I bet it'd be awesome.
When she says, "I'll be voting for my mother, my sister, and my daughters", I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and attribute that comment to a misguided philosophy that a vote for Joe Biden magically equates to a vote for her family which will somehow amount to keeping them in the country and towards what I presume will be some sort of amnesty provision or policy. That being said, her family should GTFO already.
Her sister's story is a shitty circumstance but almost everyone's is when you are talking about people from 3rd-world shitholes, it's rough out there but there's a process that everyone who wants to come here HAS to adhere to. This is an emotional argument designed for dumb people who only think emotionally and not rationally or even pragmatically. This is how you get Venezuela, this is how you get Cuba, hell, this is how you get California which is now a dump that's on the brink of total collapse.
"Will my sister get the health care she needs and deserves?" "I don't have the right ID, so I can't get health insurance through the exchange, I need health insurance, I deserve it, right?!" Does that sound like the language of the downtrodden and desperate to you? That's the language of the entitled leech.
BTW, either have her translate or have captions, don't waste our time and distract us by having both.
Wait until these individuals realize they, or their family members, were needlessly exploited by a political class, backed by a certain political party, and rise-up against them:

I've been in AZ all my life and have actually worked beside illegals in historically "entry-level" jobs back in my youth like those at fast-food franchises. I saw people deported right out of the break-room, I worked beside people who didn't speak a lick of English (imagine trying to put in a special request for customers to people both didn't give a shit and you couldn't communicate with), I've seen people take advantage and taken advantaged of. This is not right, this is not okay. Slavery was worse, most-assuredly, but that doesn't make this contemporary 1st-world slavery any less vile. We are getting fucked over by an elite few looking to fuck over us and the people that work for REAL slave-wages.
What gets lost in the argument and the debates about illegal aliens is that it's not only bad for us, it's bad for them AND their home countries that they COULD make better and choose not to because they are enticed by greedy fucks who exploit them and put them in bondage every step of the way (cartels, coyotes, employers, landlords, and all threaten with deportation to do their bidding). Don't get it twisted, many not only steal jobs but also identification and commit a slew of crimes along the way just like their enablers (and this shouldn't be ignored). WE MUST PROTECT OUR COUNTRY, put it on them, "don't you want to be on the right side of history?" Something tells me that the books won't be so kind to people on the other side of this issue.
I have to listen to the announcement again, but essentially the payments are deferred (at the very least for businesses), and will be entirely forgiven if he's re-elected. GEOTUS is essentially making the biggest deal HE'S EVER DONE and he's making it with the American voter. Motherfucker is the stable genius, the likes of which, we've never seen before. Fuck 4D, this is god-tier type thinking and deal-making. Art of the deal personified. He'll have his second term, one we are another. He's hedging his bets, and it's absolutely amazing to witness play out on a scale as large as the sandbox he's playing in. One could question the ethics or morality of it, of him essentially holding an economic gun to everyone's head or "buying votes" with other people's money (when it's really our money that we should have kept to begin with), but hey, blame the Democrats for essentially forcing a decision like this to be made. Had things come together on Capitol Hill as it's supposed to happen, it would have largely been out of his hands. But as soon as you force his hand, shit like this happens and it's amazing to watch the master at work. All that being said though, I'd hold off spending your extra cash until November plays out... as it should ;)
Feinstein was apparently instrumental in getting China into the World Trade Organization, something GEOTUS has railed against for years even before he ever ran for the Presidency. Her husband has invested millions of dollars making him filthy rich (perhaps even more than the figure above^), there's no telling how much blood both of these traitors have on their hands as it relates to the flagrant human-rights abuses that have taken place in China over the last 30 years. She even compared Tienanmen Square to Kent State ON THE SENATE FLOOR for fuck's sake. She was warned in the 90's by FBI officials that Beijing might try and influence her through Chinese shell corporations funneling campaign contributions (and probably lobbying money) directly to her, who in the fuck here thinks that that hasn't happened already, knew about it before, during, and after, and didn't give two fucks the whole way through?!?!
She's likely been compromised ever since she was the Mayor of San Francisco and helped establish that same Chinese Consulate who was harboring a known spy a few weeks ago. She should be dragged out of where ever she's hiding, charged for treason, and have her prove she's not through testimony and investigation. Every currently sitting or prior politician took the oath and were warned, hell, half of them openly sling accusations at the President for his "dealings" with Russia. It's time we start holding them to that standard and to their sacred pledge, to defend the US from enemies "both foreign and domestic", and start putting these fuckers on trial. If convicted, I'd do it old-school and hang their corpses outside of the Capital Building letting everyone who enters know that this is what happens to traitors, and to carefully watch every action you take when you get inside.
Trump supporters are committed to Trump, by-and-large. Biden? Not so much as the "Settle For Biden" movement has indicated. The portion most likely to vote for Kanye? Black voters who would have voted for Biden. It could backfire and strip black voters away from Trump, but that's doubtful. Praise KEK.
Yep, once you make it big, don't forget to shut the door behind you! These guys are smart, and as such, they use their power and influence to use the government as a tool to regulate competition to death, and "leveling the playing field" against the little guy or small start-up. It's sick. Trump is doing A LOT in this regard when it comes to other industries but make no mistake, big-tech is NEXT!
If something happens to him, not only will it lead to someone even more right-leaning taking the position (in the form of the Grey Fox), but it will kick off another Civil War. I'm surprised that more attempts haven't been made, still though, he has SO MANY enemies right now that will do ANYTHING to get him out of office. Fortunately, he's picked up many allies along the way to help back him up...
Captain America seemingly standing alone against the horde while thousands of allies are teleported in all around him to help back him up seems especially apt.
Better late than never I suppose, but he should have foreseen this before all of this shit. Government getting in between you and YOUR RIGHT to protect YOURSELF is such a self-evident and objectively erroneous contention that he SHOULD have spoken out against it LONG before all of this. I'll give him credit in admitting that his positions have changed and giving an explanation as to why, but for all of his predictive boasting lately, that's the one thing he didn't see even though it's glaringly obvious.
For younger pedes not in on the reference, here you go:
Can confirm. Lived in AZ all of my life and outside of Phoenix (one can include Tempe), Flagstaff, and Tucson (ASU, NAU, and U of A), this place is VERY conservative with a more conservative bent overall. Notice that when the riots broke out right after Fentynal Floyd died, the shit was beaten down fast in Phoenix even with their black lefty-sympathizing police chief (just like what Antifa got back when protests descended into riots outside a 2017 Trump rally where GEOTUS first called out Antifa) and then when it broke out in Scottsdale, Gov Ducey went full-on aggro on the rioters and enforced a statewide curfew, getting praise by Trump in-return. Even then, AZ is so conservative that some parts refused to accept a unilateral one-size-fits-all solution to some out our cities' failings. Yeah, we aren't perfect, but even stereotypical red states, such as Texas, have idiotically blue cities for one reason or another but we're still red to the core.
For as shitty as the Axios interview was, I thought Trump revealed something pretty interesting. GEOTUS, when asked about Ghislaine and his "wish her well" comments, brought up the fact that Epstein "was either killed or committed suicide in jail," suggesting that he wasn't wishing her well at trial, sentencing or otherwise but in actually, wishing her well to live long enough to finally 'face the music' as it were. What this post^ and the aforementioned info reveals is that for GEOTUS to wish his enemies well is like the equivalent of him saying, "I hope you die in prison or by injection and burn in hell."
What idiots, I REALLY hate how the media controls SO MUCH of OUR access to the President. They are suppose to be there for US but it becomes abundantly clear each session that they are just there for themselves.
Side note; it's really amazing how GEOTUS was so far ahead of the curve with regard to his base policies as they relate to the current panDEMic. Think about it, he brought thousands of manufacturing jobs back and retained countless others, allowing their production output to be leveraged for creating desperately needed supplies. He gave billions to farmers that had been ravaged for years, helping to weather this storm. He fought for a wall that, even at like a 1/3 build out, has been instrumental in stopping potentially infected from crossing south of the border. He was tough on China, and BIG on energy and infrastructure autonomy that would prove VITAL during this time period. Even with regard to the Brady Room, how forward thinking and valuable would it have been to have a larger state-of-the-art facility that could be retrofitted with HEPA quality filtration allowing for mostly unhindered and safer press briefings? The man really is a time traveling god emperor, I swear.
