Please forgive me for banging my own drum.
It was obvious from the start that Iger made a huge mistake returning to Disney to try to “fix” it, and I said so. And so far, he’s precisely on schedule.
That wouldn’t be enough to justify the public self-congrats. Nope. Here’s what does:
He just FIRED the woman who had convinced him (Iger) to come back to Disney!!!
“Retired” my ass. And don’t cha just love that photo of her glaring at someone?
“ ‘Retired,’ my ass,” continued --- the next headline…
“Disney CFO leaves after tense relations with execs”
Well, yeah, one would imagine the “tense relations” going on in a company that’s in financial free-fall due solely to their inexhaustible arrogance/hubris.
You’d think that none of these boobs had ever heard of this happening before… at:
--- General Electric (owned NBC prior to selling it to Viacom); and
--- Universal, after the Japanese bought the company:
I witnessed the exact same “Disney-free fall” event at the once-mighty Dai Ichi Kangyo Bank in 1991-94 (busted up and sold for scrap in 1997). What a wonderful feeling it was to know that I wasn’t personally responsible for the evils that they had justly brought down on their heads.
Yeah...they get to step down for medical/personal/family reasons with handsome severance packages, or take leaves of absence...these f*^#ers never have to face the ignominy of being f'ing fired.
Whatever new company these people go to: Boycott it
Whatever other company boards these people are on; Boycott it
Whatever legal firms these people use: Boycott it
Start taking the corporate shield away from these people as a company is just the vehicle we let these monsters use to push their agenda so let's start calling them out and Scarlet lettering them.
Every single (major) company seems to be a part of it; in some way; (I blame that on the creation and acceptance of the DEI officers) and of course the ideology of the leadership. It's almost like; for now only hopefully; we have to take the lesser of 2 evils. For ex. (at least in banking; and full disclosure; I work for a major financial institution) While Citi may be huge in the BLM/ CRT support; Goldman may be huge into the ESG scam; while BofA may be in all of those plus actively opening accounts for illegals. So, I guess pick the one you can still sleep comfortably at night; and hope that Companies like "old glory bank" aren't just a marketing gimmick to grab conservatives. And hopefully the woke bubble pops and these companies are forced to change their tactics.

I have donated to the GoFundMe twice. Once to the young man who the communist DA of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, decided was a criminal by the name of Daniel Penny (The NY subway hero) and the other was a church pastor who threw out of his church when the local useless police tried to shut him down in the middle of a church service during Covid. To me, both causes were both necessary and important. Trying to bribe Joe Biden is a waste of time and money. Besides, GoFundMe would NEVER have enough money to do so
I don't believe Biden has ANYTHING on his mind anymore... there's just a vacant hum going on in his empty cranium. Of course, he's always been an empty-headed dumbsh!+.
But then Joe would have an ethics problem for professional conflict of interest between us and the rest of the world. Besides, even he wouldn't know where to hide all that money!
What if the Dodgers invited the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to the the game and no one came. Well that is what happened. The crowd looked like someone had reported a radiation leak
The stadium looked like the Ukrainian dam on June 6th after the Russian-Ukrainians blew it up! (Drained of everything, empty). Oh, and these Woke F*cks (Dodgers, Drag Queens, Target, Bud Light, et al) are in actuality the New Multi-Racial KKK, resurrecting the anti-Catholic white-sheet parades in the 1920s. Hasn't anyone else noticed this?! Don Surber, take this idea, free, for a new column.
You know, there’s still some June left… isn’t it time for Brittany Griner to launch her campaign to celebrate Pride month in Moscow with a WNBA team touring around from St. Petersburg on out to the gulags?
Tm - The article I read revealed that the “award” presentation occurred hours before the game. However the story didn’t disclose that actual game time attendance. I can only hope your impression is correct.
Sadly, the ball club doesn't care about the gate for one game out of 81.
It already has its revenue from its own network and streaming deals, plus that from MLB's broadcast rights with FauxSports.
Now, if "fans" stay away in roughly similar numbers for the rest of the season, next season, and the one after that, the organization might wonder if something is wrong - but don't count on it.
It still damages the brand. These sports teams just need to play ball and to stop flogging ideologies that aren’t appealing to everyone. It’s time to get back to business.
As far as I'm concerned, the brand has been totaled - starting with its response to covid, to the DH in both leagues instead of abolishing it, entirely.
Ordinarily, I don't offer my own as a point of reference, but in this instance, it can be justified:
I just read that the video you posted was made an hour before the first pitch. The managers probably did that on purpose to cover their asses. I wonder how many people showed up later for the game later. I can’t find any numbers but would like to know.
Most of the tickets were already sold, so I imagine they had a typical gate, maybe down a bit. But if it arrived exceedingly late, that cost the concession folks a ton of dollars. And that is more important than hurting the Dodgers. Hurt the people they do business with and with whom they have endorsement deals. Make endorsing the Dodgers a bad business decision.
The players have pretty much started telling the owners to hell with their political posturing.
Excellent! Thank you! These are the same anti-Hitler rallies that the Jews & other good people held in Madison Square Garden (NYC) before and during World War II (and now look at NYC...)

5 - We now live in an apartheid country where a small corrupt cadre of grifting political hacks, wealthy elitists, LGBT militants and black supremacists rule over the much, much larger majority population. Maine, where I live, just like NH and VT used to be a solid Yankee Republican state. Now we are an apartheid state ruled by the lavender mafia, psychotic liberal white women and urban transplants from away who are more like missionaries. Not only do they keep voting D unlike the urban refugees escaping to FL and TX and registering as R's, they get on the city councils, town selectboards and local schoolboards. They are like an infestation!
"There is no such thing as one cockroach" applies to your situation. I can't believe what has happened to Maine. Ever go into Portland? What a sh*tshow!

The article said:
It also speaks to the collapse of basic services across South Africa after years of neglect and corruption, and the inability of an administration riddled with infighting to run a metropolitan area of 3.6 million people.”
I say:
Doesn't that sound like The United States today? Anywhere there is a UNION job being done, you can be assured the job is going to be half-assed or have you never heard of the "BIG DIG" up in Boston. The cost is now 39 billion; now STILL under construction almost 40 years later. Mike Dukakis, the 1988 democrat for president, said it would take 2.2 billion and seven years to complete.
It's a small, comfort to me that UNION workers have more pride in their assholes than they do their lives.
I left California LONG before your "Train to nowhere" was even thought about. This is what happens when politicians have all the ideas and control the money flow instead of businessmen who have experience in the real world and NEED to make a profit. Instead, you have a governor more interested in being cornholed by the very people you claim to represent. DO YOU HEAR ME, GAVIN NEWSOM ??
I see the majority voted mittens as the worst republican but I believe it was Ryan-o. He was the one who had the power to engage more republicans to make better policies. Instead he pretended he was a republican while backstabbing us on the most impactful issues. We always knew mittens was a rino, at least he was open about it.
I made the mistake of taking the advice of my computer repairman (who in fairness has bailed me out of one or two disasters). We might get everything resolved by the e4nd of August, at this rate...
Good luck, at some point I may have to up grade but since my computer repairman is hubby, I just keep telling him no to a new pc. Nope, never, nada.... He is making himself a new one but due to parts issues and shortages, hes been at it 8 months.
Are you good enough to be a Marine or words leaning that way? Good one. I was a wimpy 17 year old in 1962 just graduating from high school and needed a challenge. I became a Marine and it took the wimpy out of me.

I already thought the “B” stood for Bestiality, Bisexual and Bidenesq (minor attracted pervert don’t ya know!). Perhaps we need more B’s as in LGBBBT....

“ How about a GoFundMe to bribe Biden to support America?”
~ Greatest line ever!!!!!
Hopefully followed in no short order by a GoFundYourself you demented SoB.
I'll assume that "you" refers to Biden (beware of the ambiguous pronoun!)
I have donated to the GoFundMe twice. Once to the young man who the communist DA of Manhattan, Alvin Bragg, decided was a criminal by the name of Daniel Penny (The NY subway hero) and the other was a church pastor who threw out of his church when the local useless police tried to shut him down in the middle of a church service during Covid. To me, both causes were both necessary and important. Trying to bribe Joe Biden is a waste of time and money. Besides, GoFundMe would NEVER have enough money to do so
Penny's attorneys have one on GiveSendGo. I donated there.

Biden had drag queen on his mind because of Pride Month.

But then Joe would have an ethics problem for professional conflict of interest between us and the rest of the world. Besides, even he wouldn't know where to hide all that money!
