Isn't that the guy who's always chasing Elon Musk's dick around?
No idea.
But it's a grown-ass man who thinks calling himself catturd is the height of comedy.

What is this weird as fuck idea these people have that they're entitled to a company's advertising money?
Maga really doesn’t like freedom of speech, does it?
No one is owed you any advertisement on your platform. Bunch of snowflakes.
Remember, conservative logic is literally "I'm allowed to tell you what to do; you are not allowed to tell me what to do."
"Its only free speech when I get to say the N word."
*Sigh*, Kid Rock is about to shoot some holes in donuts, isn't he?
Kid Rock, the spiritual successor to Ted Nugent.
Kid Rock makes donut holes by fucking them
That sounds very mockable. A good PR team could get a ton of mileage off commercials about shooting holes in donuts.
To be fair if he can thread that needle then maybe he's actually gotten in some range time, maybe taken a class.
Of Jewish people, Fuentes has also said: “We will make them die in the holy war.”
Aren't these the same people who complain about being called Nazis
Isn't Fuentes one of the few guys who embraces the label?
Or do I just think that because he is one of those who doesn't dog whistle and is just saying.Nazi stuff openly?
Either way, that dude is super scary because he is not stupid, he knows exactly what games hes playing and he is better at it than for example Alex Jones.
Fortunately he is still too crass for regular people.
Ah yes, a boycott which will impact the company much like all the previous ones which were uh, wait no, they didn't do shit did they?
Yawn.
The Bud Light one was actually impactful for several months:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Light_boycott
"On June 3, Brayden King, a professor of management and organizations, gave an interview to CNBC calling the Bud Light boycott an outlier in the right's attack on "woke capitalism" because it is the first one to actually harm the company's sales. King studied 133 political boycotts from 1990 to 2005 and none of them accounted for more than a 1% drop in sales for a company; the Bud Light boycott had resulted in an estimated 18% drop in all AB InBev sales."
Interesting. I had assumed it went like the other 133 that source mentions.
Wonder if there's just an extremely over-sized overlap between conservatives who were going to be offended about and willing to boycott and people who drink cheap beer that led to that statistically unusual outcome.
Also maybe cheap beer is cheap beer and there's limited enough brand loyalty that other types of products don't?
Cheap beer and Bud being #1 for 20 years made the fall more dramatic.
If it were some no-name beer, nobody would have cared.
I do find it hilarious that by abandoning Bud this "America First" crowd let Modelo into the top spot. LOL.
I don't think there was any real strong attachment to it. It was a recognizable go-to cheap beer. But nowadays there's dozens of cheap light beers, and seltzers, and mixed drinks in a can, and ciders, and I can go on.

"LET THE MARKET DECIDE!"
"Yeah, the market hates you!"
"Wait, not like that!"
I remember seeing on Shitter the founder of Home Depot was supporting Trump and people were saying they wouldn't shop there anymore.
The snowflake Trump supports were upset people would do that because it was hurting the workers. I guess it only matters when it is their cause.
Any argument they make is just what they think will have the most chance of getting others to agree with them. They didn't give a fuck about the workers in either case just like BP didn't really give a fuck about the retirees that depended on their survival.
The right coined both “Cancel culture” and “Go woke Go broke” within 5 years.

What a bunch of easily triggered snowflakes
I’m confused about this lawsuit. Haven’t advertisers always been allowed to not advertise in places they don’t think align with their brand?
Elon Musk’s lawsuit over alleged X ad boycott “a very weak case,” professor says
Stupid people, who believe in "free speech" and resent "cancelation," don't think that should be allowed.
And they're willing to cancel anyone who disagrees
They have always been the bitch-made invertebrate snowflakes they love to complain about. It's always projection with these mouth-breathers.
The last time I was in a Dunkin, there was a maga shithead explaining to a group of Brown people, why the tax policies of maga were good for them. I don't know if his diatribe was welcome or if he had them trapped as hostages by being next to them. It was a bit surreal. Anyway, I welcome the knowledge that Dunkin won't have the likes of him around anymore.
The Bud Lite treatment: "boycott" for a few weeks and then go right back to buying their stuff. In fact I'd be surprised if they did that much in enough numbers to make even a wiggle in Dunkin's bottom line for the quarter.

“To be honest ... I would be opposed to showing up on the current version of the platform—the right wing culture of the site is too polarizing from a brand suitability standpoint today,” the message read.
This seems perfectly reasonable.
If they are forced to advertise places, I’m going to sue them to advertise on my ass. I can provide metrics that show it has enough visitors to warrant at least a banner ad.
What is it woth the right and cancel culture? It feels like there's no free speech anymore.
Bunch of snowflakes.
What the shit is Rumble anyway?
That's going to be a problem for about a million fat-assed cops.
Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don't normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I've seen it discussed online and in meatspace.
I'm sure I've bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven't knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.
Another f-ing right-wing weirdo, lovely. I haven't been in a DD since I was 10 and we don't have them here on the left coast AFAIK but if there was any kind of boycott by these freaks, hell I'd mail order a half dozen boxes (if they do MO) and share at the local food pantry. DD donuts are awesome, loved them as a New England kid.
No, they're not. The donut quality has gone to the toilet, both in terms of workmanship (they come in frozen and par-baked, I think) and materials (they taste plasticine). The coffee tastes like dishwater.
Service is still quick and not terrible, and they're everwhere, and reliable. But by no means are they awesome.
(I still get a boston cream donut and medium regular after I've been away for a while. It's just a sign of home for me, but that's maybe twice a year at best.)

They're a disappointment these days. Few varities, often sold out. Thry really want to move towards the crappy food Starbucks sells and figure out $7 coffee.
I'd rather go to a local chain which has better variety and manages to have stock at 2PM.

Unfortunately their donuts have gone way, way down in quality over the last couple decades.

Well if they follow the Elon Musk model, can't Dunkin Donuts sue MAGA? LOL
