There's a great video that shows after that Bud thing.

I'm not much of a drinker, but I had a business trip to Tuscaloosa a few years ago and stayed at a hotel that had a Happy Hour for guests. Free beer or free wine. With chips or pretzels. The wine was a notch above box wine (a very small notch), but the beer was draft Yuengling.
First time I'd ever had it. I'm no drinker, as I said, but tasted fine to me.

So DJT JR and Trumpâs hand selected leader of the RNC have been critical about the boycott and calling on the base to end it. This has caused some consternation among the baseâŚ
DeSantis came out in support of the boycottâŚ

What do they say? "Dont bite the hand that gives you food."

On Saturday, the official NRCC Twitter page deleted a tweet directly attacking one of its largest donors, Anheuser-Busch -- the parent company of Bud Light.In the since-deleted tweet, the NRCC criticised Bud Light for partnering with trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney and attempted to fundraise with âlimited editionâ drink koozies.
âThanks to Dylan Mulvaney, we can all finally admit that Bud Light tastes like water,â the NRCC said in the tweet, which was captured by The Daily Beast. âWith our new koozieâs, you can make sure no one confuses Bud Light with real beer ever again.â
The tweet was deleted shortly after it was posted on Saturday morning and the corresponding fundraising page now redirects to a âStand with House Republicansâ contribution page. The earlier fundraising page claimed: âWoke companies making you feel like drinking? Then this limited-edition koozie is perfect for you! Just chip in $10 to CLAIM YOUR LIMITED-EDITION KOOZIE!â
Notably, Anheuser-Busch is one of the NRCCâs major donors, which The Daily Beast cites as a potential reason for the tweets immediate disappearance. In the 2022 cycle, Anheuser-Busch and its employees gave the NRCC a whopping $464,505, the publication reported.
One GOP operative told the outlet that they assumed the NRCC âbacktracked because they realized they were biting the hand that feeds them, and as soon as word gets around about that, why would anyone else give them big money in the future?â

A whopping?
They also have Democrats $400,000âŚ

LOL Yup. The big companies pay to both sides so they can (hopefully) get benefits no matter which party is in control. And parties are willing to accept from any company because they want the money.

These numbers are misleading. What they mostly track is individual employees donations which is uncoordinated by the firm.

You can see that the "organization" donated to both parties pretty equally.
Now, @taiwan_girl , ask yourself this question: "Why didn't 'The Independent' bother to report that?"
Edit: I was (slightly) wrong. AB donated $25K more to the GOP than the Democrats. Still an order of magnitude less than the source you cited.

So whatâs got DJT JR and the RNC backing off? And why is DeSantis going full speed ahead?

I think the former is an interesting question, I would imagine personal interests are involved rather than principle, as much as that flies in the face of everything we know about Donald Trump.
DeSantis just sees where his base is and is taking advantage of the the opportunity. And for him itâs a bonus that itâs the opposite of the Trump position.

Holy shit, some C level over there actually understands marketing. Good for them.
