The sexual abuse protector and full-time Ohio idiot politicizes the virus in an all-out attack on rational thought, science and Dr. Fauci:

The 2nd Amendment was meant for evil clowns like Jim Jordan.

Jordan is practicing what he learned at the Ohio state wrestling program, to be ostensibly doing one thing but to ultimately wind up fucking you.

It’s the process of his whole career, and what Red finds so comfortably familiar about him.

“That was shockingly political for a funeral service, but it’s also totally disconnected from reality. It is scandalously, outrageously false.”

Kudos to Trader Joe’s.
Cancel Culture laughable madness stared down!

It seems doubtful they’ll even hold out as long as the Washington Football Team.

Trader Redskin Potatoes.

Trader Joe's seems confused:

Excerpts from July 17th Statement:

“While this approach to product naming may have been rooted in a lighthearted attempt at inclusiveness, we recognize that it may now have the opposite effect— one that is contrary to the welcoming, rewarding customer experience we strive to create every day.”

“…we made the decision several years ago to use only the Trader Joe's name on our products moving forward. Since then, we have been in the process of updating older labels and replacing any variations with the name Trader Joe's, and we will continue do so until we complete this important work.”


Excerpts from July 24th Statement:

“We want to be clear: we disagree that any of these labels are racist. We do not make decisions based on petitions.”

“We make decisions based on what customers purchase, as well as the feedback we receive from our customers and Crew Members. If we feel there is need for change, we do not hesitate to take action.”

“…those products that resonate with our customers and sell well will remain on our shelves.”


Theit most recent statement carefully rides the fence.  ie.  These product labels aren't racist until our customers stop purchasing these products 


This isn't resisting cancel culture.  This is just willingness to yield to it for the sake of making money.  It's the same thing.   They're waiting for the consumer to make it incumbent upon them to do so for the sake of their bottom line.

Was his jaw hinged or unhinged when he said it? That’s all I’m ever really curious about when it comes to statements by Steven Miller.

Should I be calling you Sacco or Vanzetti?

You have nothing to fear from cancel culture.  Unless you have done something you shouldn't have done.
Cancel culture is a net positive for society.  It's why you don't hear: I broke the law and now they're trying to cancel my freedom.
We cancel people all the time and send them away.  Usually the darker the person, the longer the sentence.

White people fight cancel culture because they're afraid of being treated like everyone else.

Fancy that. Listening to the customer.

Which Trader Joe’s did not do.
Case Closed.

[facilitatorn]

 I’m going with Vanzetti, due to the reek of dead fish that both proceeds and follows you on your sporadic appearances.

So if the petition drive results in them ditching Trader Jose, they have listened to the customers and you won't write it down to cancel culture? Just like if a majority of the population in a city want to get rid of Confederate statues you are ok with it? Or if the Army considers the perception of potential recruits and renames Fort Bragg to Fort George Thomas? Listen to your constituency? Right?

Cancel culture is what is...people having their lives and jobs ruined for saying "All lives matter"...etc.
The cancel culture lot want to cancel everything THEY don't like, and replace it with everything THEY do like.
Fair enough.
They shouldn't be surprised though if many people don't like their lives and cullture being cancelled and resist with vigour.
When Weezo (God rest her soul) was alive and here in this forum, she basically told me that as a White male I'd been cancelled...not allowed to sit at the table anymore, but had to sit under it.

[facilitatorn]

Despite all that banging on the table above you since, you haven’t offered us one good reason you should be let back up into a chair.

Perhaps you should say less, try harder, and think more.

And give away your radio to someone who can pick better programs.
