    Russian mob was just an example, half in jest. Please don't let it distract you.

    I wasn't clear about the votes. Votes should be secret. I was talking about campaign donations as a manifestation of free speech. On the same logic that we make the vote secret to keep voters from being intimidated away from the polls, small donors perhaps also deserve secrecy to avoid them being intimidated away from donating ("speaking"). But a large donor is a different species. They are market makers, not price takers. They should be treated differently.

    I don't like who Chic-fil-a supports politically but I do like their chicken so I choose to overlook it.

    Its a sad day that now when I see a MAGA wearing, rebel flag flying person I assume racist douchbag. Lie down with dogs you might end up with fleas.

    If the info is already out there I don't see a problem with people publishing the info. No one I know would target the business or person but boycotting the business is fair game IMO... especially if their chicken sucks.

    Castro is acting like an entitled immature &*^%$. Seriously, this is juvenile stuff; but it tells you the Dem's mentality. Someone should tweet out his personal info; and he can see how much he likes it.

    I have a question.

    We have numerous threads here about right wing white men being a big threat and responsible for most of these mass shootings, etc. We also know that right wingers learn from lefty strategies and push it even further. They pushed through Supreme Court nominees after Harry Reid came up with the nuclear option to get lower level judges through. You are now seeing some places threatening to become sanctuary cities/counties against gun control. Again, something they learned from illegal immigrant sanctuary cities.

    If you truly believe they are such a threat, do you really want them to relaliate and start outing donators that gave to liberals they hate? Seems like a recipe for more violence based on a lot of your own words.

    The actors need to step up and boycott Marvel movies at once.
