Ok can someone fill me in why the maga morons are saying Cracker Barrel’s logo change is woke? Like it’s dumb and unnecessary but what makes it woke? I’m sure it’s something really really really fucking stupid.

 

the dumbest people alive

Meanwhile, Costco prints money,

Slow down there  Trumpet.

 

Costco?  Corporate stance: As a company, Costco doesn’t usually make political endorsements. Its focus is on low prices, employee benefits (notably higher wages and healthcare than many retailers), and shareholder returns. But....Leadership ties: Co-founder Jim Sinegal has personally supported Democratic candidates in the past (he even spoke at a Democratic National Convention). Those were individual actions, not corporate policy.

How disappointing for Target especially after spending some time in Minneapolis this past weekend. Which overall on the surface seems like a pretty welcoming environment.

Wonder who the FBI arrests next?

Sorry, back to Cracker Barrel.

they're not going to arrest anyone, including bolton. they got the headline they wanted, now it's on to the next thing.

trump likes simple announcements and his base likes to read bold-type headlines. this whole thing is not a coincidence.

Yeah, such a crazy heel turn as they were kind of on the cutting edge of being inclusive. Such a self pwn

I hope you're right.  You are correct in that I should not have said 'arrested next' in regards to the FBI as indeed Bolton wasn't arrested.   "Investigates next with bullshit pretense"  I suppose.   I was conflating this with the arrested judges and detained reps and senators.

Then there are the investigations against Letitia James and Adam Schiff.
But of course there's more:
 

Quote

 

That search follows Attorney General Pam Bondi directing federal prosecutors to open a criminal investigation into whether former President Barack Obama and his aides concocted evidence about Russia’s efforts to help Trump in the 2016 election. Last month, the Justice Department said it was separately investigating former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey, without specifying the allegations. Meanwhile, loyal Trump underlings— including DOJ official Ed Martin and Bill Pulte, a real estate heir running the Federal Housing Finance Agency—are using government power, along with social media gimmickry, to allege wrongdoing by frequent Trump foils.

The various investigations may differ in their legitimacy. But they are all the manifestation of Trump’s promises to use the White House to prosecute his enemies. The threat of an authoritarian president using his office and control of federal law enforcement to try to imprison critics is not hypothetical. It is happening, as Trump advisers race to please him by launching probes aimed at his foes.

I try not to keep up daily for my own sanity because whenever I do tune back in I tend to lose it.  So I certainly easily mix up which federal law enforcement agency is being used. Mea culpa. I don't share your positivity that this goes away, but again I do hope to be wrong.

I would think the Magats would be happy that Cracker Barrel got rid of their old woke logo with the gay guy all sitting cross legged like a woman waiting for the trans.

 

This is what I thought the controversy was about. My first thought was that it was because they added a gay looking dude to the logo. 

I'm not a patron of Cracker Barrel and didn’t realize they always had a gay dude on the logo.

i either read or heard somewhere that when you "hear" about "investigations", that they're generally bullshit, window dressing, click-bait, whatever you want to call it, to feed the base.

real investigations happen in the shadows and in secret and you don't hear about them until indictment time (i'm sure @TwiceHorn or some other lawdog can confirm or disconfirm that).

i don't know if it will go away per se, i just think there's only so much they can do and they seem to move onto the next shiny object within minutes. flood the zone, don't let the press or the public focus on anything specifically for too long. it's bannon's playbook and they've been running it for a decade.

There's just much more gestapo-like activity this go round.  ICE, seizing Washington, and sure flooding the zone.  Part of those floods are all the investigations and detainment meant to intimidate.   I believe every threat he utters at this point he intends to perform.  Whether he gets to or not is another story.

Trump called Bolton a slime ball who could not be trusted, but denied having received a heads up on the Bolton raid. 
 

Remember when Obama called the actions of the Cambridge police “stupid” and had to hold a beer summit to apologize to police officers everywhere?

Can we at least get outrage about branding changes focused on ones that were genuinely awful like American Airlines changing its livery?

 

Edit: spotted this throwback at IAH a couple months ago

PXL_20250602_043801981_MP.thumb.jpg.d80dbe16399c391042a4e149e3852ddf.jpg

This was a horrible rebrand.  The previous branding and specially logo were perfect:

Widget and blob rebranding is nearly always awful. 
 

For plane livery changes, it’s hard to beat Aer Lingus’ move to Euro-white as an all-time downgrade. Bring back colors to airports!

Yeah, like you don't generally release investigation materials, a conventional US government or state doesn't advertise or crow about criminal investigations, other than to announce them, maybe. This government?  Maybe not so much, if one is actually ongoing.

The target of such an investigation is free to talk/complain about it, although it's usually not in their interest to do so.  But people like Schiff and James, and Comey, Clapper, et al., who don't really have much exposure, might well be speaking out about it.
