Budweiser Sales of their beer plummeting even further

Let me explain the difference for the neophyte who is confused and lost as you obviously are.

Cancel culture is when a large group of individuals, politicians, news outlets etc... Use Their power and influence in an attempt to destroy the life of a single individual, and attempt to destroy his/her very life and existence, attempting to get this person shunned from society. 

This almost always occurs on the left, and when these ravenous people get their wish and do achieve their goals, it usually is never enough for these vile people, as they then usually engage in trying to the destroy the life of said individual and want to grind this person into the ground, which is always the goal of leftists.   

I don't condone that.  There is a gigantic difference between boycotting a large gigantic corporation and their products vs. a gigantic group of people in the millions attempting to destroy the life of a single person to the point where that person becomes a pariah and the scarlet letter wearer.

If you can't distinguish the difference between the 2 situations then that is probably why you now exhibit the traits of a radical leftist, since you're not able to delineate between the 2 instances.    LOL 

Nailed it hard once again Rich lol

Proud Boys Convicted: Seditious Conspiracy!

So close to a thousand out of how many thousands? Perhaps 95% of those were saddled with minor charges like trespassing.....a handful were charged with something serious. Yeah I get it..... the sky was falling right? The only death truly linked to it all was a unarmed woman protestor climbing thru a window. Such a violent insurrection. The entire nation was nearly overthrown lol

Of course, we'll likely have to revisit the efforts of Trump, Eastman, Giuliani, and many others for their reported roles in an attempt in overturning a free and fair election, the fake elector scheme, Trump's approval of an effort to hang Mike Pence, and the big lie of election fraud but since you believe in the latter, you've obviously been duped like the rest of Trump's cult...

While everyone who raised a hand against the police was wrong and hopefully was at least charged with aggravated assault a few pop knots on a few heads does NOT an insurrection make lol......As for that "justified shooting", I dont buy that for one second. There was nothing justified about it, as I understand it she was unarmed, and entering a window. You have no idea what I believe in lol

Yeah Greg, he did. 
As for the justified shooting, there are places like in the capitol, the pentagon, and the WH that unauthorized entry can be met with lethal force regardless of whether or not the perp is armed.   
That said, REPUBLICAN Senator Lindsey Graham told police officers they should have shot pro-Trump rioters on Jan. 6 "all in the head," “We gave you guys guns, and you should have used them," he recounted Graham saying. "I don’t understand why that didn’t happen.”

Huh? How did we get from discussing the only one that died to whether or not Biden got those votes? You just grasping for anything in an effort to stop sounding stupid?

As for Blow Hard errr I mean Graham.....I rarely give a crap what he has to say. If someone is to be shot over any of what went on why not the ones that were actually committing violence against the police? That would be somewhat justifyable....but certainly not an unarmed woman crawling thru a window.

As I muse now and then, it is probably not healthy for Rich when we feed his narcissism.  It certainly leaves me feeling slimed.  So I'll bail on this thread for a while.   

Rich really makes you paranoid I guess......so much so you feel the need to drag me into this lol
