Will I ever click with your “new” handle!?? Thanks for refreshing my memory at this hour of the night (CST)! Doing fine myself, how about you and yours? Just seeing great poll numbers for our man in the White House and thrilled that Joe & Mika will be devestated by the news.

Good to hear from you. I never see you on forum. Where in the world have you been?! Hope all is well.

POTUS needs to put these scheming progressive corportists on blast. They think they can knife conservatives in the dark of night with the top cover of the media. POTUS needs to call them out on twitter and show other companies that MASSIVE negative publicity will result from corporations playing partisan politics.

Companies aren’t doing this gratis. Someone has made them offers they can’t/won’t refuse.


Nearly all corporations these days are run by progressives. They are doing this gratis because they have top cover from the media and assume there will be no serious blow back. They would be correct.

The shakedown technique is not exactly original. It’s been done before. “Nice little business you’ve got here it would be a shame if something were to happen to it. “

It work for the mafia and it will work here because they are more than willing to cave-in, it’s a small price to pay for peace and quiet and profitability.


This is not a shake down. Progressive corportists willingly align themselves with the leftist agenda du jour because they agree with it. This is nothing new. Homos in the boy scouts was pushed by corporate America (Tillerson at Exxon), etc.

The criminalization of being conservative starts. Next you’re going to be a hater and racist for being a member of the NRA. Questioned by your employer and fired for being intolerant, and you can’t talk about it because its hate speech.

Avast (paid) is done well by me.

I tolerate the occasional ad for their VPN or their equivalent of system mechanic which I like.

For VPN, I use AirVPN. It runs just fine in both ‘doze and Linux.

The people running them are flaming crony capitalist progs, bur even they have boards and shareholders who will care more about the bottom line.

There are quid pro quos involved. Follow the money. Find the bribes.

I just rejoined the NRA after being a member since the 70s, I dropped them for a year because they backed the Rat party for MO governor. The rat party candidate had been good on guns but was an Obama supporter for 8 years.

It will get to the point that the safe area will be online.

Good news for Hertz Budget and Avis

I never liked Enterprise, anyway, but I CAN call them and tell them how much their weigh-in on a political matter is going to hurt them worse than NRA.

I suspect NRA will do just fine, thanks. :o]

Eh, where did you come up with 325 million non members? Isn’t that the total population of US? Residents (including non-citizens)?

Good point. One might notice that it started in Omaha... who's the resident oracle up there again?

Looks like the DemoncRat Brown Shirts are getting away with Blackmail and Extortion.

Without even trying to analyze why and by whom this is being perpetrated, smells like a SOROS move to me. He and is non-profits are more than likely funneling money into this some way or another.

WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE A US CITIZENSHIP????

A few more announced this morning. I can’t remember who but a few more companies. The liberals are great at bullying companies. I just wonder if anti-gun folks are going to win this round.

Dumbass companies are going to lose millions of people that work and can afford their products in favor of pajama wearing soy boys that have to wait for their girl(?)friends to give them a ride anywhere. Good move.

Since the NRA accepts international membership - you might as well refer to the world population as “non-members”.

Also - does anyone know the breakdown of membership, US citizens vs internationals?

Yet, non of these big corporate liberals know that the NRA has been behind every major gun control law in the US.

You’d think they’d support the NRA.
