Let’s get Rush Limbaugh to dump SimpliSafe (burglary alarm company for apartment dwellers):

SimpliSafe dumped the NRA.

Of course! Every Marine does, we’re taught that in boot camp. It comes from the leather stocking the Marines originally wore around their neck to protect them from sword slashes while fighting on ships.

Semper Fi!!

Gotta travel for work. I can dump Delta and United, but the other options for air travel are worthy. For cars, not so much.

I used to do that (travel for work).

A Corporate plane was best.

Commercial One hop was not too bad.

Multiple hops? Still a big risk.

Now I have the time to drive. Much better outcomes....

Cagle must lose the election. He is the leading uni party establishment Republican from Georgia.

You are correct, as Casey Cagle is nothing more than Governor Deal's water boy in the Georgia Senate. But even Cagle could sense Georgians' disgust with Delta Air Lines today, and quickly led the charge to inform Delta that playing politics is risky business. CEO Ed Bastian's smug virtue signaling just cost Delta's shareholders $40 million.

What does a school shooting have to do with the NRA anyhow?

The NRA didn’t shot up the school. The shooter wasn’t an NRA member.

This whole situation is a bunch of socialist-democrats looking for any excuse to disarm Americans, even if it means breaking a fee eggs to make the socialist omelette.

This whole event is owned by a bunch of socialist-democrats whole dropped the ball, from the sheriff’s department, to the school district, to the petty vindictive democrats who run broward county.

And I wouldn’t put it past them in a hot second if they deliberately dropped the ball to create a crisis in which they could then exploit for political gain.

Blaming the NRA for the school shootings is like blaming the AAA when a drunken illegal kills with a vehicle. Ludicrous— but thats what leftards truly are. Flux and pox on these pukewad corporations. Rescind all their tax breaks.

I avoid connections as much as possible. The exception ironically was Delta because of status and lounges. That’s out the window with their newly displayed cowardice.

I have only had the benefit of corporate planes on a few occasions. I drive regionally, but most travel is a longer distance.

For car rental on arrival, I gotta pick from the losers who cut and ran. If any return to NRA, the first will get all my business. May do a lot more Uber/ride share and cut as much as I can.

Corporations that act as government to rule over us should be shut down by the real government that we elect!

Silvercar is a option. There are also now car rentals done by individuals a la AirBnB style called Turo.

"Name one other civil rights organization that has 5 million + Americans paying money to be a part of their organization?"

AARP has many more. They are not "civil rights" but they are demacrap activists.

Hollywierd is the NRA for illegal gun owners/users.

When will they implement a gun confiscation/ban?

For Corporate Travel, Hertz used to treat me VERY well. I was never sure why.

I tried everybody else for personal travel. Generally all went well. Low price ruled for me.

It’s been a decade since I was involved with any rentals beyond U-haul...

Cagle is a total RINO just like Nathan Deal. Vote for Michael Williams in the primary. He’s a real conservative.

"They are not "civil rights" but they are demacrap activists."

Exactly!! The NRA is by far the largest civil rights organization (in terms of membership) there is.
