Trump allowed a gun sale Obama wouldn't

What's your point, and just Delta?
While you wasted your research time, on minute bullshit supportive to the NRA, just on Delta, you say, 11 other national chains have severed ties as well. 2 day decisions and the market falling as we read your one (1) issue claiming harm done to Delta, because they dumped the NRA, and we're gonna show-em bravado minor insignificant threat that's not even anywhere near...factual.
Why do you do that? Read the news. The real news. You should know what's coming or at least understand what's coming.

 

[oakwilt]

Oops.
That was for Bucky.
You guys are cool. You'll be ready.

 

[Bucknut]

My point is it's all utterly meaningless bullshit virtue signaling.

Think about it: you say lots of companies are "cutting ties" with the NRA. Great. How brave of them. But what does that mean? The NRA doesn't rely on Delta or any other company for its revenue. They have plenty of scratch from millions of private donations/membership dues. "Cutting ties" just means they want to pretend to take a tough stand, when all they're really doing is swallowing hard and daring to stop kissing Wayne Lapierre's ring.

All these spaghetti spined CEO's are simply pandering for "progressive" customers. I'm betting they regret it. Let's all watch and see.....


(Then, Americans are fickle creatures with short memories. Just as likely in a month we all go back to whichever flight is cheapest and has the shortest layover- politics be damned)

I think the republican politicians in Georgia better be real careful.. Delta could just take their biz elsewhere?

• Delta contributes $300 million annually to Georgia state and local governments through taxes and fees.
• The company paid its Georgia employees $500 million in profit sharing in 2017, resulting in $30 millionin income tax withholdings.
• Delta pays more than $200 million a year in operating expenses to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, supporting airport police, fire, security and other functions.
• Direct flights out of Atlanta have supported nearly $11 billion in foreign investment in Georgia since 2011 and the creation of more than 42,000 jobs in Georgia.

Delta just signed a 20 year contract with Hartsfield Jackson.

Remington Arms, who made the Bushmaster AR15 sold legally to the crazy Cruz who murdered the kids, filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy late Friday.

Score. Winning.

Hell, even Tim Mcgraw!

Far right. Rode in on trump's bullshit and will suffer the same demise he is.

Chubb Insurance, which ended its legal cover known as NRA Carry Guard, for gun owners who shoot someone then say they did so in self-defense. Friday's announcement.

For years, the NRA has pushed to allow guns for anyone, anywhere, anytime—no questions asked. With Carry Guard, the NRA has figured out how to profit from gun owners who are concerned about being accused of murder. Insurance against civil suits from families of the murdered.

A few texts, some inspiration to the company, some old connections. Easy. No more murder insurance for the NRA.

Weekends were made for Michelob! And civic action.

[oakwilt]

That's a SKS. Them too. It's over Bubba McNab. She's done too...too conservative!
I like her spunk though.

 

[Leroy]

Spunky? Perhaps. Senile? Most definitely. Look at em, rotten old bastids.

Johnny loves nRA.... gross!

 

[oakwilt]

We agree!

 

[craneguy1]

Interesting thread...no formal training on her part though...her finger should NOT be in the trigger well. And that sure looks like an ak...

 

[Bucknut]

Far right. Rode in on trump's bullshit and will suffer the same demise he is.

Ummm.... do you mean the HALF OF AMERICA who voted for him? Half of America is far right now? Interesting. Learn something new every day I guess.

Has it ever crossed your mind that you are really, really far left? Probably not. "Far left" is not a phrase we are accustomed to seeing in the American media, is it?

As for Remington:


Permit me to help you zoom in on two important parts of this announcement:



1. The date- Feb. 12. Two days before the shooting. Zero correlation. None.

2. Their sales fell because of (gulp...) Trump's election. Why, he's a leftist hero! Single-handedly brought down Americas oldest gun maker!

Except, not really. I get the feeling you don't know much about bankruptcy restructuring. As an example, consider your new favorite corporate darling, Delta Airlines. They have not had a single profitable quarter in 18 years. Here's a snip from 2005:


Delta's still in business and Remington will be too.

Should be noted 2 things, that you already know- Trump lost popular vote. Plus, only about 60% of eligible voters go to polls... 40% know there's no point!

 

[Bucknut]

Feinstein's too conservative for you Oak? Holy hell.

We're even then. I'm waaaayy to the right of Ted Cruz.

(Except only one of us is joking...)

 

[oakwilt]

Angry much?

Don't forget to have fun, Buck.

I'm not a lefty. But war against the far right (re: neo-con, white extremists, neo-Nazi's, evangelical Christian) is necessary. Just fought creatively now. Hitler to never rise again. I see however, trump's buddy Putin, claims a return to the Soviet Union soon. Should be interesting.

"White lies", bone spurs, and "running into the school to save those dead kids". Yup. Sure.

Glad I inspired you to spend some research time. Problem is, your Belorussian sources. Try again.

 

[oakwilt]

Oh yeah forgot:

Feinstein isn't liberal enough. She's too protective of corporate interests. Defense industries too.

 

[Bucknut]

Belorussian sources?

Bloomberg and CNN.

Dude.

C. N. N.

With the possible exception of yourself, I can't think of anyone or any organization who despises Trump more.
