What exactly was the phrasing from the interviewer on August 13th? Was it something ambiguous like "Do you condemn the neo nazis in Charlottesville"? Or was it something like "Do you condemn the neo nazis among the protesters in Charlottesville"? If it's the former, I can understand Trump refusing to answer such a suggestive question at a moment when the situation was messy and chaotic, and emotions were running high. If it's the latter, then your point stands.




Just watch this video. It goes over all the relevant clips, and breaks down exactly how the talking point you're using is propaganda designed explicitly to demonize the media and eliminate context. It's only 15 minutes and this channel is just generally amazing.

Trump specifically says he's talking about the rally the night before, which was the explicitly Neo-Nazi rally where all the speakers and organizers were white supremacists and the posters for the event specifically said they were there to end Jewish influence in America, when he refuses to condemn them on Saturday. He also refuses to answer and ends the conference when asked if he condemns Neo-Nazis and if he wants their support.

So them breaking the law only matters if it directly involves ME? It doesn't matter that they trample on the rights of thousands and thousands of employees?


They aren't breaking the law...a ton of companies do this stuff and they've been doing it for DECADES. You're just pissed off because it's stuff that YOU don't like (negros and homos). But we know that you couldn't care less about the law, people's rights, etc. You only care about the culture war and you will back ANYTHING, no matter how unamerican, to ensure that you win. I stand by my words that you're unpatriotic.

You're equivocating again. No one is saying companies don't have the right to say... things like: "No political slogans at work".
BUT that's NOT what Goodyear is saying. Goodyear is saying... OK you people over here, you can have political slogans. But you over there, you're not allowed. THAT is the problem.

On a side note, the 85 yr old guy that lives right across the street from me is a dyed in the wool Democrat, and he worked for Goodyear all his life... and even HE is behind Trump on this one.

This isn't an issue of a companies HR dept. saying: no one can do this or that. This is a case of Goodyear abusing some of it's employees rights, but not others.

As for Goodyear... they have instituted a policy that says only certain slogans are allowed. That goes against the first Amendment.

Further, they allow only minorities to have a say. That's racist.

And you think they should be patted on the back? What Goodyear is doing is against the law.



1. The First Amendment absolutely doesn't cover what one can and can't say inside of a private business. Why do you hate private businesses? Do you want to force them to bake gay wedding cakes?

2. Being against racism isn't racist.

3. They aren't breaking any laws.

4. Biden hats are also banned. Democratic Party gear is banned. But Christians can still wear a cross necklace and gay people can still wear a rainbow flag pin.

That pic is a slide from Goodyear. All the crap you just stated is NOT. So you need a link or other proof.

/e If BLM is allowed then ALM should be allowed, else it's stomping on some people's rights, but not others.

No, that's not what you care about. Everyone knows that if the roles were reversed, you'd call people American haters for not buying Goodyear. You'd bend over backwards and say something along the lines of "Sex shouldn't be talked about at work, BLM is divisive. Supporting the president is a unifying message though and isn't political. Respect the office!"

Like I said, if you care about workers rights, vote for AOC or someone like that. I'm not interested in that leftist nonsense and will look at a business based on their product and business model.
