"SNIP.....

“Republicans are attacking corporations over their decision to condemn the controversial Georgia voting law, part of the party’s embrace of the populism espoused by President Donald Trump even as it creates tensions with traditional allies in the business community,” the Washington Post reports.

“The acrimony between Republicans and large companies over Georgia underscores the party’s increasingly fraying relationship with corporate America over social and cultural issues as GOP leaders grapple with the direction of the party after the 2020 election. The future of that relationship is complicated by the fact that Republicans continue to support economic policies advocated by the private sector on taxes and regulations, making it unclear what form of retribution leaders could pursue.”

3. It's strange to watch the rethugs go full on racist/trumpist to the point they are going against

Corporations. I guess they’ve decided the trump supporting clans are more important than their relations with their corporate masters. More likely they are just playing a game where they present some image to the public and nothing has really changed.

5. Used to be that Republicans had things they believed in. They were wrong most of the time, but...

at least they had some basic principles to work with, and which were something we could have real debates about without being overly diverted by the bullshit.

Things sure have changed.

6. Interesting. I guess the Kochs are going to shoulder the entire GOP now?

Since they are tossing out corporations like it’s yesterday’s fish.

mean to divide america just after the election: the CEOs.

7. What a conundrum!

It will be interesting to see what happens if they try to punish the donor class. Where will their money come from? I mean you can't just depend on Russia and the NRA.
