The advertising campaign using the trans person has seen a $5bn fall in the parent compay's stock value since.

Saw an interview with the woman behind the campaign and she is way off understanding the core base and where the sales are predominantly.

It has bit them on the arse, and it was almost inevitable that an alternative company would look to make hay.

Whether folk think it is cringeworthy or not, it is nothing like as desperate and pathetic as that by the influencer.

 

The fall is fuck all in reality, and already recovering.

Another one at a 16th birthday bash.

Fox News paid out $787 million dollars today in an out of court settlement to Dominion - the US voting machine company - after they were sued for broadcasting lies that the votes were rigged against Donald Trump.

The settlement meant that Fox's Chairman - Rupert Murdoch - was spared from having to testify.

Here endeth the right wing conspiracy theory.

We get a fair share of things wrong in this country but at least we're not a nation of gun nonces.

perhaps at sports events such as this, they could hand out guns to the crowd upon entry (but only if they have a licence of course) so if something like this happens, they can always shoot back

It’s the person firing them…..but you know that.

it's actually a combination of both of them....but you know that. Remove either of them from the equation, and the issue is greatly reduced I'd have thought

Lol

I'm worried he's going to go along the lines of that utter loon who used to post on here, Maggie Tate, who suggested the amount of guns in circulation in the US, and the ease of getting them isn't the reason they have so many mass shootings.
