I discussed it in another thread but *** it not like there is any news besides Trump here. But I think a big Star Wars back lash is coming with
Episode 24 Adventures of Feminist heroine. As she fights the patriarchy through outer space...can our young heroine be a strong independent woman in the face of evil ?
Sounds like the pitch for the porn parody version.

It could be a meta discussion about how we discuss discussions ! I read a great traffic article last week about how people approach approaching approaching approaches and why often the approachers end up approaching the approaching approach approach itself poorly due to overthinking the approach of the approach
but I wasn't sure how to approach the subject here

Do you like gold? Fancy steak and women from Baltic and Slavic regions? Could you see yourself dating your daughter if she wasn't your daughter? Do you live in an opulent tower? Do you refer to yourself in third person? Do you think professional wrestling is real?
If you answer yes to all these questions you might just be "a" Donald Trump.

Is the earth flat?
Did Jesus ride Dinosaurs?
Is the moon hollow?
Is the trilateral commission a pentaverate?
What do the Bilderbergs build?
If the legislative branch of the US is bicameral how come it doesn't swing both ways?
These questions need answering.

Quote: Casey Patten, the owner of D.C. sandwich shop Taylor Gourmet, was targeted by boycotters and received threats after attending a White House roundtable of small business owners, according to reports. But from a brand perspective, the benefits of meeting with the president could outweigh any immediate negative attention for mom and pop, said Jasmine Hu, assistant professor at Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.
So the President routinely invites business leaders, both big and small, to a special economic advisory council where they can directly communicate with him their needs and concerns without a politicized media getting involved. Just the President and his aides asking what these C level entities need to hire more Americans and what they think should be done for the economy. Most of these aren't banks or financial entities, they are business's that actually hire Americans, do business in American and are important to the American economy.
The lefts response .... harassment, boycotting and threats. Zero concern for the economy, zero concern for the greater good of the nation, nope it's purely a case of "talking to the enemy! BURN THEM!".
And how are these people not fanatics again...

I am seriously thinking about horning in on this racket.
All you gotta do is say liberals are unfairly boycotting you and your proffits skyrocket.

Those boycotts are especially effective, though. They almost always destroy the businesses that they target.
Speaking of which, I think I'm going to pick up some of that delicious and totally out of business Chick-fil-A.

You can always find an extreme group/person that becomes the object of your attack in order to assign that to everyone. So if you say "those leftists are fanatics who only want harass and threaten" then it becomes "all leftists are fanatics who only want to harass and theaten". That's marginalizing.
Pretending to be marginalized by groups that you are also attempting to marginalize is a trendy tactic.

Chik fil a ultimately ended all of its donations to anti-lgbt organizations. It's not normally about putting a company out of business.

Now, if we can get these businesses that are meeting with Trump to... stop caring about their business needs I guess... then we can stop boycotting them too?
PROGRESS.

Trump supporters are boycotting Hamilton, Starbucks, Pepsi, Oreos, Netflix, GrubHub, and plenty more. Being overreactive crybabies is a bipartisan issue :)

You missed the point.
Boycotting a product or company you disagree with is perfectly fine and within anyone's 1st amendment rights. In this case it's progressives boycotting business's who communicate directly with the President about making America's economy better. That's beyond stupid and goes well into the religious arena.
One of the business's attending those meetings had such an attack they had to pull out. Even Musk is being attacked by the progressives, while he is directly talking to the President about his immigration policies.
Quote: Some executives and business owners have faced blowback from customers for any perceived involvement with the White House’s economic agenda. One of those executives is Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, who dropped out of Trump’s advisory council after customers and employees complained.
Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX chief Elon Musk resisted pressure to leave the White House Strategy and Policy Forum. In a tweet before a meeting in early February, Musk said he would express his objections to Trump’s immigration policy, but he wouldn’t leave his seat at the table.
“Advisory councils simply provide advice and attending does not mean that I agree with actions by the Administration,” Musk wrote, adding that his focus is on pushing for sustainable energy and opening up space exploration. “I understand the perspective of those who object to my attending this meeting, but I believe at this time that engaging on critical issues will on balance serve the greater good.”
Here we have a chance for non-politicians to directly communicate with and influence the policies of the nation without first having to join a Political Sports team. This is great for the nation as a whole, unless someone believes the socialist / progressive dogma of "no class, no money, no capital, no private ownership".
So lets see who here denounces the actions of their fanatical brothers in arms, who applauds their righteous commitment to "The Struggle" and who gives support in their silence. Curious how similar to radical Islam this has become.

And how are these people not fanatics again... They self identify as non fanatics.
Isn't that how it works?

Oh, radical Islam now.
