The advertisers publicly bowing to the Left and pulling ads from Sean Hannity's Fox show aren't getting cheers from their customers. The message board at USAA looks like there's some unhappiness. Meanwhile, the proof keeps coming that despite their stated "policy" of not advertising on opinion shows, USAA has advertised on wild-eyed MSNBC programming speculating on how much Donald Trump is owned by Russian strongmen and oligarchs.
For example, our diggers found a USAA ad on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show on May 2:

In March, Sonny Bunch was somehow allowed to blog at The Washington Post that Maddow's big embarrassing Geraldo-esque show on small slivers of Trump's tax information implied she dwells in conspiracy theories: "we weren’t watching a news broadcast so much as a modern recreation of X’s monologue from Oliver Stone’s JFK."
I was never in the military, but I have a mutual fund account. They will not let me have any other kind of account since I am not military.
Also, I can only have one kind of mutual fund account and cannot pick, like those that are military or ex-military.
Trust me. I visited facebook, and saw a woman I knew , and nearly every time she posted on her page , or to others she said to get the real, factual news is to watch Madcow.
I contacted her, and told her that it was all about her opinion, and she was biased. Holy crap, she went off at the deep end, and ranted how she is not bias bla bla.
I guess she has turned into a raving, liberal loon since I knew her years ago.
USAA is nothing but a lousy and very expensive insurance company.
They once had a use but not any longer.
They were a military officers insurance group, but they have long outlived that usefulness.
I saw the FB of a college gf and she had MadCow “liked” She was liberal and super cute back then, but now?
WOW, BFUghlee
” ... in 2008 they basically decided to widely open membership to former military, widows, divorced (but un-remarried) spouses,”
Divorced spouses, re-married or not, have been able to keep their USAA membership since at least the year 2000.
“USAA is nothing but a lousy and very expensive insurance company.”
I must respectfully disagree. In my experience (+15 years), their customer service has been excellent and their insurance products (automobile and homeowners in my case) are competitively priced.
The operative word is keep. Now they can initially obtain...big difference.
“Divorced spouses, re-married or not, have been able to keep their USAA membership since at least the year 2000.”
‘The operative word is keep. Now they can initially obtain...big difference.”
Thanks for the clarification. Prior to 2000, divorced spouses were not allowed even to *keep* their USAA membership.
That cuteness goes away when they opebn their liberal mouths.
My oldest boy is a Marine, and was based at Camp Pendleton last year when he met a beautiful looking woman on the beach.
He got talking , and went on a date that night.
The date lasted 30 minutes, before he made an excuse of he has to get back to base.
He said he ended the date as soon as they got talking she just kept ranting about her liberal politics, how she hates Trump, how global warming is affecting the world.
She offered to drive him back to base, but he cold not stand another minute of her, and got a taxi instead.
Since then she has texted him , and he told her there is no way he would ever want to meet her again due to her radical views.
I can understand the Liberal desire for the Virtue Signaling, and the Empathy Drive, etc... but I just cannot wrap my brain around folks who run businesses into the ground, losing vast amounts of business, all to very pointedly insult half of their consumer base. Fox News lost O'Reilly and Ailes and within a matter of weeks, they have gone from solidly and constantly #1 to struggling in third in the ratings. What could possibly make reasonable businesspeople, whose fiduciary duty to the stockholders is the Bottom Line first, simply shove away massive amounts of market share? I just don't get it.
