    And then you went on to defend her actions so you do indeed support what she did.

    I am an absolute believer in corporations taking zero notice of an employees politics as long as he does not bring it into work. None of a corporations business what is on my lawn, or what I march for in my own time. I am likewise an advocate that what a CEO says on his own time, on his own facebook page should not see any penalty of a boycott. If the guy is anti same sex marriage and makes cracks about Adam and Steve on his twitter personal account, I don't care as long as his business does not discriminate based on orientation. I don't want to mix business with anyone's politics.

    But that goes both ways, don't bring politics into your place of business then demand that others ignore theirs, when they decide who to patronize. As a businessman, owning your own establishment you are free to put up your Trump propaganda, but I think it's tacky. You deserve to lose half your customer base.

    I agree with all of that.

    I thought you were advocating that we take some sort of legal action.

    My bad. Carry on :beer::salute:

    They intimidate some, no doubt. They embolden and solidify others. Im not trying to say whats being done is right. Just that its legal, and should be.

    I don't watch any televised sports at all I have no idea who you're talking about.

    Kaepernick wasn't canceled he just made himself into a circus. And nobody wanted to touch him if he was cancelled he canceled himself. I heard he wasn't very good, I do believe that because I never heard of him until he decided to be a circus clown. I've heard of Peyton Manning.

    By golly he should fight fire with fire and start a boycott of her site! That'd larn her.

    If you (the pro crappy pizza guy supporters) went into a rib joint and found Obama bibs, napkins, plates, pictures on the wall and the urinal pick formed the O of Trump's mouth would you stay? No matter how good the ribs? Would you warn anyone that would listen what they're in for?

    He can make a business decision to promote Trump but he can't go crying when the consequences arrive.

    The Constitution gives the pizza guy the right to push away customers and customers have the right to boycott no matter how stupid both acts are.
    This is an exercise in freedom !

    Legal to try and destroy someone because you don't like their politics? It rubs me the wrong way and reminds me of China but you may be right.

    I'd actually enjoy wiping BBQ sauce off my mouth onto an obama napkin. Goes along with my obama toilet paper.
    Seriously though your attempt to say the right would do it too is seriously flawed. We still watch movies and TV shows full of lib actors and produced by leftists Hollywood. I don't care what a good actors politics are when I watch a movie and you shouldn't care how the guy making your pizza votes either.

    I see a Trump flag on a business and I am going nowhere near it.

    Know why?

    Because Trump fans don't take this virus serious and I really don't want to catch it.

    Oh yeah all those black lives matter riotors absolutely Trump supporters right.

    It isn't it funny that the second wave seems to coincide almost precisely with one incubation time period separating it from riots.

    Yeah it's totally the Trump supporter is not taking it seriously.

    What does that have to do with not wishing to contract the virus from an establishment that doesn't take the virus seriously?

    I actually did attend a BLM rally. EVERYONE wore a mask and socially distanced. EVERYONE took the virus seriously.

    And by the way...NYC had some of the biggest demonstrations and yet hasn't had the infection burst that Texas and Florida and CA has had.

    This "second wave" is not that. It is the first wave rolling back and forth across the country...because too many people are careless and stupid.

    If you walk into a business and see people not wearing masks...turn around and walk the **** out

    If you see employees wearing their masks around their chins,...walk the **** out

    Stay safe and don't spread this horror

    There were rioters in those places.
    Yeah rioting during a pandemic it's rather stupid and careless.
    Will this work at the polling places?
    I don't go to riots.
