    A company has every right to choose which products they want to sell, just as people have every right to boycott said company. So what's the issue? Other than the hypocrisy of those who complained about cancel culture in the past?

    Everybody in the US should boycott Israel, but AIPAC has seen to it that such activity is criminal here in the land of the free and home of the brave.

    Boycotting Lindell should be much easier.

    The only people who attacked the institutional requirements of the Constitution were the ass hat MAGA rioters who tried
    to interfere with Congress carrying out their Constitution duties. The pillow guy got to say what he wanted to say - he was not censored - he is, however, not immune from the reaction of others TO his speech. So climb down off your high horse, dude.

    No. You don't get play that card.
    The man you supported has lied endlessly and because of that his sheep stormed our Capitol and killed a cop.
    You don't get play the "what if" crap.

    If I had ever supported a riot, or Antifa, a BLM march, you might have an argument - but since I haven't, you
    don't have crap.

    The history on this didn't start last week, and you know it.
    That is much of the problem- people on the left taking a dump on the other side and saying they didn't see anything wrong.
    When you advocate violence and that triggers violent reactions- you have created both incidents, and you are responsible for both.

    This barrage of hate started the day Trump said he would run, and has been non-stop ever since- and you know that too.
    When you can acknowledge and condemn that, you will regain some semblance of credibility.

    Oh really? I've seen plenty of threads where you dumb down violence from the left but anything from the right is a national crisis according to your threads. Have fun living in that denial bubble with that double standard

    If you stand with the people who riot, if you support the language and narrative they use- you are lending your support. You don't have to be physically presnt ont he street, throwing bricks or molotovs or holding a sign. IF you fail to walk away, fail to disavow what they do by your words or presence- you ARE supporting them.

    Trump had a history of lies a deceit LONG before he ran for office. He is toxic and
    he brought out the worst in everyone.

    THIS is the only march I have condoned.

    You really want to claim that? If you really believe that, then you have aligned yourself with cop killers ...

    LESS THAN 1/2. Over half the country will make it a point to give their business to Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl's, and Wayfair. Sounds like smart business to me.

    What the right seems to want isn't free speech, but consequence free speech.

    Only the government ensures the former. There is no such thing as the latter.

    This is why people in the service industry don't tell us to F off.

    They can choose what to sell and what not to sell for whatever reason they like. I have discontinued products from companies that have lied to me and even some that overdid their political bias.

    We call it the free market. I don't like the Lindell either but it has nothing to do with his politics. But I do respect his success in building a successful company. Request denied.

    Would it shock any that pillow guy will come out as gay? and then where BB&B be? Just more tyranny from the liberal fascists in the marketplace. And isn't it ironic that both BB and B and Kohls are in such dire circumstances already that thumbing their political noses at what are likely the majority of those who still shop in the brick and mortar might find their political behavior more than a little off putting?

    I do not think that overturning an election one lost, through military action or mob violence, is ever acceptable. Those who espouse such ideas have no place in American society.

    Perhaps you don’t live in the right neighborhood. Bed, Bath, and Beyond does well in up scale neighborhoods, and has been doing well with on-line orders since the Pandemic hit.

    I never thought that My Pillow pitchman would sell out to now ex-President Donald Trump if you can believe it. I've never bought his products and now I never will. That jingle
    For the best nights sleep in the whole wide world visit mypillow.com. You can ignore it.

    what did Mr Pillow do, is he running a business, did he just alienate half the country?

    I found out that the "My Pillow Guy" Mike Lindell's involvemrnt with Donald Trump had really nothing to do with overturning the 2020 election or anything like that, the relationship was somewhat mutual. The reason for the taking my pillow off the shelves was that they were mutual buddies. That's all there was to it. Am I right or wrong?
