Brewers Association’s Post

From Kirk Bangstad: Unlike what many headlines said, the Wisconsin Elections Commission, by denying our complaint last week, actually helped our efforts to remove Trump from the ballot by a) saving us crucial time, and b) helping to ensure that our lawsuit won't be dismissed by a judge on procedural grounds. In our lawsuit, we asked for a declaration from a judge that Trump is unqualified for running for President under Article 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because he aided and abetted the Insurrection on January 6th, 2021. We're asking for an injunction to prevent the Wisconsin Elections Commission from distributing ballots with Trump's name on them or counting votes for Trump. We're also asking for a declaration that states that Wisconsin's presidential electors can't vote for Trump because he is unqualified to be president. The constitution is clear. Just like you can't run for President if you're under the age of 35 or were born in a foreign country, you can't run for President if you engaged in insurrection after swearing an oath that you'd protect our country from harm. According to the New York Times, over 700 people have already been convicted or pleaded guilty to having committed crimes that day, 450 of them sentenced to jail time for "crimes ranging from trespassing, a misdemeanor, to seditious conspiracy, a felony." furthermore they wrote that "These proceedings have helped to flesh out the story of how an angry crowd of Mr. Trump’s supporters, egged on by his lies about a stolen election, stopped the democratic process, if only for several hours." For anyone who refuses to acknowledge the truth, it is crystal clear that those who have been jailed for seditious conspiracy were part of an INSURRECTION, and that Trump's lies caused that insurrection. If you are caught drunk driving too much, your license is taken away. No one is taking away your "choice" to drive. You forfeited that freedom by breaking the law. Similarly, no one is taking away your "choice" to vote for Trump. He forfeited his right to run by leading an insurrection. Nowhere in the constitution does it say Trump has to be convicted of insurrection to be removed from the ballot. That being said, the only reason Trump hasn't been convicted yet is because our federal and state Attorney's General, Merrick Garland and Josh Kaul, were too scared to a) hurt the former's chances at becoming a US Supreme Court Justice, and b) hurt the latter's chances at becoming Wisconsin's next Governor. They were simply too weak to take the bull by the horns and do the hard work of prosecuting Trump and Wisconsin accomplices Ron Johnson, Tom Tiffany, and Scott Fitzgerald immediately after the they had committed their crimes.

This right here.

Democrats Draw Bigger Crowd: DNC Averages Over 20 Million Viewers on First Night, Outpaces Last Month's RNC If you can really judge the health of an election campaign based on relative crowd sizes, Presidential candidate Kamala Harris is off to a good start, with night 1 of the Democratic National Convention averaging 20.025 million viewers and 15.003 households, according to Nielsen. Both benchmarks compared favorably to night 1 of the Republican National Convention on July 15, which averaged 18.130 viewers and 13.2 million households. https://lnkd.in/geJ_ePaj

ACTION BY DOING vs. INACTION BY TALKING If you really want to change the country, start by becoming a Republican Party Precinct Committeeman! It’s the most powerful office in the world because Precinct Committeemen determine who gets the chance to be elected to office at every level of government. Is saving your country worth a few hours of your time each month? I thought so. Please read on for what to DO. 1. To change things, we must change the laws. 2. To change the laws, we must change the people who make the laws. 3. To get elected, your candidate must be on the ballot. 4. To get on the November ballot you must win the Primary. 5. To win the Primary, you must get the support of people who make endorsements in the Primary, who reliably vote in the Primary, and who get out the vote of others in the Primary. Those people are the Precinct Committeemen. RALLIES/MARCHES WON’T CAUSE REAL CHANGE Most importantly, by becoming a Precinct Committeeman, YOU GET TO ACTUALLY VOTE FOR THE PARTY LEADERSHIP. YOU GET TO CAST A VOTE FOR YOUR LOCAL REPUBLICAN LEADERS UP TO THE COUNTY LEVEL, AND THEN GET TO ELECT ELECTORS WHO ELECT THE STATE AND NATIONAL PARTY LEADERS. If those who accept, understand and advocate conservative principles become a majority IN THE PARTY RANKS, guess what? Th

And yet we do not live in such market conditions. The social and economic systems of the West are increasingly bureaucratized, hobbled by credentialism, and regulated, and this has severely impacted class mobility. Indeed, for many of these structures, the exclusion of the unwashed is the whole point. And the ruling class themselves have ever more the mindset as described by Thorstein Veblen: only the ignorable do actual work while the truly successful indulge in leisure and conspicuous consumption as much as their means allow. One supposes that this doesn’t hurt anyone…until it does. This certainly happened in very recent history as the conspicuous consumers harnessed the power of states all over the world to serve their interests exclusively. The result was a calamity for rights and liberties won over a thousand years of struggle. People should have the right to their own choices about the kind of life they want to live and the products and services they want to consume. The dystopia of lockdowns and woke hegemony of public opinion – complete with censorship – have become the policy to overturn if the workers are ever to throw off the chains that bind them. 

Recently, large corporations could afford to observe broader civic debates on social issues from the sidelines. Their messaging was often a simple, empathetic acknowledgment of the discourse, then conclude with a message on "serving our customers". However, since 2016, stakeholders have increasingly demanded more engagement from corporate leadership, pressuring companies to take a stand that may alienate certain constituents. The Georgia voting law serves as a recent example, where employees demanded companies to make statements, creating divisions between the companies and lawmakers of the opposite party. The most stark examples is Disney in Orlando. The company found itself in the crosshairs of Gov. Desantis, who felt the company's positions on social issues now warranted the redesign of the special district granting Disney World self-governance. As we approach the 2024 election, the stakes are higher than ever, given the unprecedented transparency of social media. Is your business prepared for these challenges? Do you have a strategy in place to navigate the competing needs of various constituents, including employees, shareholders, customers, lawmakers, regulators, and even neighbors to your plant sites? It's crucial to proactively address these considerations to ensure your organization remains resilient in the face of evolving societal expectations. #CorporateResponsibility #StakeholderEngagement #SocialIssues #BusinessStrategy2024

New Post: Trump badly confused by Tic Tac packaging, blames Biden - https://lnkd.in/gTwA4e6q - Donald Trump's winning election strategy is straight out of the stable genius playbook: At his rallies, he holds up a regular sized Tic Tac box in one hand, and a Tic Tac Mini box in the other. He claims the normal Tic Tac box represents Trump era products, and the mini box is the result of Biden-caused shrinkflation. — Read the rest The post Trump badly confused by Tic Tac packaging, blames Biden appeared first on Boing Boing. - #news #business #world -------------------------------------------------- #MagicTheGathering #macos #mac #tradingcardgame - SellingIt(.)org ---> https://sellingit.org

I posted before the general election about some of the issues around accessibility when it comes to voting, but it's not just about getting into the building or asking for help. Casting a vote by secret ballot is a fundamental right that has typically been denied to people with visual impairments, who have to rely on a sighted companion to assist them. Adjustments like the McGonagle Reader are so important for making sure people can exercise their democratic rights. We need more innovative solutions like this to create inclusion in all parts of society. https://lnkd.in/emtw6_T5 #Inclusion #Accessibility
