Walmart Halts GOP Contributions for Electoral Objectors
Newsmax ^ | 12 January 2021

Posted on 01/12/2021 9:19:18 PM PST by EinNYC

Walmart, the world's biggest retailer, joined other major companies in indefinitely suspending donations to U.S. lawmakers who voted against President-elect Joe Biden's election certification.

The Arkansas-based company said Tuesday, in light of last week's attack on the U.S. Capitol, its "political action committee is indefinitely suspending contributions to those members of Congress who voted against the lawful certification of state electoral college votes."

Walmart is the lifesblood of many deep red areas, having outpriced mom and pop stores into retirement long ago and replaced the local stores with racks and racks of cheap chinese garbage and low paid workers who are subsidized by welfare and public assistance.

It would be unthinkable for a competitor to enter the scene and challenge Walmart with competitive pricing and less predatory business practices, possibly even with an america-first business strategy. Well, it would be... except that massive amounts of retail store frontage is opening up due to the pandemic and real estate debt is almost cheaper than free. What a shame it would be for the company that put all the five and dimes out of business to have the same trick pulled on them.

Walmart pledged $100 million to BLM over a five-year period. They’re not just buying from communists, they’re *donating* to communists.

What funny about this is many Liberals hate Walmart and try to have them zoned out of their neighborhoods and towns. Its the common working people who mostly shop at Walmart.

I just deleted walmart.com from my list. They were trying to compete with Amazon but were bad at it. At least you know up front who is running Amazon, not like sneaky stab u in the back when you r not looking gop type folks.

Certainly in libtard NYC, the City Council members voted to forbid Walmart from opening in the City, as it was anti-union. If you wanted to shop in Walmart, you had to go out to Long Island. When I moved to Baltimore, I was a little excited to see that there was a Walmart about 20 minutes away. But having shopped there exactly twice, I felt a physical revulsion to the weirdo people in there and the junky goods. No need to go back; I wasn't missing anything.

Yes, we’ve pretty much got Walmart or HEB for groceries. It irritates the heck out of me, especially when HEB was wanting more mail in voting.

We have a Walmart, Aldis and 2 small chain grocery stores in our town. Since the pandemic we have been ordering from Walmart on line and having outside pick up.

I guess I will need to check out to see if Aldis does online ordering.

This is such a betrayal of Walmart’s rural customer base!

Your scenario cannot come too soon.

Let’s change their name in print and on signs to: Choice

“Walmart = WalMarxism

“Walmart stands for ‘Up Against The Wall, American Patriots’”

“WalMart supports ANTIFA and BLACK LIVES MATTER Marxists”

Walmart took down so many mom and pop stores in their path...shopping at the local grocery chain instead of these guys will be a pleasure

Many of Walmart’s employees in small towns surrounded by rural areas are conservatives. They’re simply stuck in those jobs for now.

This will give you a peek into what happened with Walmart and what has happened all over the U.S.A.

Alice Walton
Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Walton#Political_contributions
Political contributions
“Alice Walton was the 20th-largest individual contributor to 527 committees in the U.S. presidential election 2004, donating US$2.6 million to the conservative Progress for America group.[27] As of January 2012, Walton had contributed $200,000 to Restore Our Future, the super PAC associated with Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.[28] Despite hailing from a largely Republican family, Alice donated $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee supporting Clinton and other Democrats, in 2016.[29]

Personal life
Walton married a prominent Louisiana investment banker in 1974 at age 24, but they were divorced 2½ years later. According to Forbes, she married “the contractor who built her swimming pool” soon after, “but they, too, divorced quickly”.[9][30][31]

Walton has been involved in multiple automobile accidents, one of them fatal. She lost control of a rented Jeep during a 1983 Thanksgiving family reunion near Acapulco and plunged into a ravine, shattering her leg. She was airlifted out of Mexico and underwent more than two dozen surgeries; she suffers lingering pain from her injuries.[6][32] In April 1989, she struck and killed 50 year-old Oleta Hardin, who had stepped onto a road in Fayetteville, Arkansas.[31] Witnesses stated that Walton was speeding at the time, but no charges were filed.[32] In 1998, she hit a gas meter while driving under the influence of alcohol. She paid a $925 fine.[31][33]”

I was talking one of these videos, sorry about the YT link.

Seems YT changed their search. More “official CCP nonsense” search results. Regular results seem buried.

Can people list alternatives to Walmart.com to ordering non-perishables online?

Unfortunately, Walmart is the only store I can shop at right now due to certain circumstances. That should change in a few months. And for the past few years, I’d been trying to get everything except perishables delivered to my door from Walmart.com (by Fedex, etc.). It was working, esp. for bulky and heavy items like toilet paper and cat litter or items not carried in my local store. But I’d really like to be able to go someplace else!

Just the excuse they have been waiting for...Wal-Mart hates conservative voters. Conservatives WILL keep shopping there, however.

Freedom isn’t worth the inconvenience for many.

Exactly. Here's how it works: democrats AND republicans want you to WORK, want you to PAY your taxes, and they want you to wear your damn mask; you filthy, disease-spreading slave. Don't forget to take your 'mark'...er, vaccine.

Checking my bookcase; I note that I still have a nice copy of ‘How Wal-Mart is Destroying America (and the World)’...published TWENTY-ONE YEARS ago. LOL!

When Walmart, Target, Safeway and King Soopers (Kroger) (plus woke-ass Trader Joe’s) are the only places in town to shop in Denver (for example) what’s the real alternative?
