How quickly can Jeremy put out a light beer?

In the 2022 cycle, Anheuser-Busch and its employees gave the NRCC a whopping $464,505, the publication reported..

A whopping?

They also have Democrats $400,000…

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 what’s got DJT JR and the RNC backing off? And why is DeSantis going full speed ahead?

@LuFins-Dad

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 it’s a bonus that it’s the opposite of the Trump position.

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

[Mik]

I doubt they understand marketing, but they sure understand stock price.

Yeah that was kinda the joke. (If they did understand, this stupid idea never would have made it outside the conference room.)

Yup. She didn't build that by herself.

I'm not sure about all the "body language" stuff, but it's entertaining to watch a so-called expert talk about this interview:

17% drop in one week.

That’s on top of a 6% drop the week before.

Oh, and they canned another marketing executive.

[Mik]

It’s difficult to believe this wasn’t approved at the highest levels. I think the bloodbath has just started.

[Mik]

Whatever. Fucking everybody younger than me.
