Apparently enough folks complained and according to AP, Toyota has said it will stop.

“We understand that the PAC decision to support select members of Congress who contested the results troubled some stakeholders,” Toyota said in a statement Thursday. "We are actively listening to our stakeholders, and at this time, have decided to stop contributing to those members of Congress who contested the certification of certain states in the 2020 election.”

Immediately after Toyota's spending was reported, the company defended it, saying it did not believe it’s appropriate to judge legislators based only on their electoral certification vote.

The company took input from employees and government officials, Vazin said. But the most important factor was customer feedback, he said. “That really drives our decision making,” he said.

Call it a win for the good guys, albeit small, a win none the less. Still not going to be buying that sweet little C-HR if they ever do get some in, damage done.

When I think of smarmy... This guy is half responsible for Trump being in the WH to begin with.

Was in the middle of a morning dab when this happened. Laughed so hard I woke the Mrs. Enjoy. NSFW audio.

Just curious what others think. Personally, I would enjoy a perp walk via a November defeat with an assist from the Southern District of New York pursuing his orange assed ilk for ages for the non-federal crimes, but not sure how we, as a country, can possibly NOT pursue an impeachment, without striking that pertinent clause from The Constitution forever.

The crap he’s done already, is doing on a daily basis, and that he will undoubtedly do in the coming months that may be pardonable on a federal level will give an opportunity to whomever we select as a candidate. Much as I abhor “pledges”, it occurred to me that this issue may come up in the coming months.

If your current favorite wins and pardons Individual one, would you be okay with it or should our candidates pledge to allow justice to run it’s course without intercession?

You’ve got the moral victory you so desperately sought, you’ve been confirmed by a bunch of old white guys and you should feel vindicated, right? Now do the right thing for the country you profess to love, and don’t take the job. You should have never accepted a nomination from this tainted president if it was ever your intention to become a supreme court justice in the first place. Everything this agent of Russia touches turns to shit, and you allowed him to touch you.

You’ve got an opportunity here but you need to act quickly. Choose the wrong way, take the job and suffer the lifelong consequences of your decision OR make the right move here, make a speech abdicating this new role because of the horrific damage it inflicted on our country, and you may just become a hero to millions of men and women worldwide for being so bold and insightful, who knows… you may even get to keep your day job.

Your pathetic display of partisanship, whining, sniveling and emotional instability aside, perhaps you can still save something far more important in life than this or any other job. You’ve got a family and a wife that apparently believed the lines of shit you shoveled her way, and now she knows better. If I were you, that would be my focus, this whole other mess was ill-conceived from the start and you should have known better. Now do the right thing and just turn the job down, and get to work on improving that tiny tract of self-professed moral high ground you tried to stand on.

To make this brief, my ex-wife burned down the house yesterday, before taking her own life, leaving my daughter and 3 grandchildren with no place to live and little left in the world but the clothes on their back. It appears to the Fire Marshall that she set the place ablaze in several locations, and our suspicion is that due to arson being the likely cause, the insurance may not pay a penny, though the house is insured. If there is any interest at all, I promise to publish a much more detailed version of what transpired in a few days when we know for certain. Until then, my other daughter has setup a gofundme page to help raise cremation and funeral expenses and to help get her sister and her children a place to live. If you can help, please do, but that’s not why I’m posting here.

I am not much of a facebooker, rarely write here and then mostly comments, but I am desperate for some help for my daughters and grandchildren. All I am asking is that you share the following link if you have an online network of friends, whether facebook, twitter, whatever. Right now, I sure wish I did.

I hate to cry, ya know... being a man and all. I'm not embarrassed to admit it when it happens and I'm an absolute rank amateur compared to John Boehner, but on the day after Election 2008, I shed a tear for America. Just a couple, one or two, but the emotion that caused it was real enough. It was hope. Hope for this country, hope for the world. I shed a tear this morning too, for different reasons altogether.

Today it took me 48 minutes to breeze through the healthcare.gov website and hopefully come January 1, 2014, I will have something that has eluded me for the past 13 years. I still refuse to fully believe it, and I suppose I really won't until I get to fork over some of my hard earned cash to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Florida, but right now I have this overwhelming need to share at least one healthcare.gov success story.

1,090,017

1,090,017

1,090,017 Concealed Carry Permit holders in a state of 19,300,000, 20% of whom are under 18. That leaves about 15,700,000 adults. 1,090,017 out of 15,700,000. One in every 14 has a Concealed Carry Permit, and is theoretically carrying a hidden gun.

It's a great place to live, I've been here for nearly 30 years now... but when one in every 14 people you see in this state could be carrying a hidden gun, perhaps it's time to rethink what a great place Florida is to live.

My oringinal title was going to be

MB Asked Me To Write This

But of course, I doubt MB even knows I'm here, as I obviously don't do diaries well and rarely comment. In a way though, he did in fact ask me to write this diary, just as he asked all of us to let the community know what you are doing to help elect progressive Democrats this coming election cycle. That was this diary. This past week or two, I've had the pleasure of getting a bit more involved in the effort. One cost me a few dollars, the other has likely cost me a chunk of business that may hurt financially, but right now it hurts so nice that I just don't care.

as are many many others in Canada where a famine is sweeping across the country. A famine? In Canada? In 2010? It's true I tell ya, and my friend's plea for assistance moved me to help. With her permission, below the fold, is her plea that motivated me, maybe it will motivate you as well.

This Health Care Reform ad was on last night, and both my wife and I were weepy by the end. Bravo to those involved for it's sheer efficacy. The deafening sound of silence, as there are no words necessary.

Now PLEASE STOP showing it, I'm a 52 year old bearded and tattooed biker, and if my brothers saw me welling up with tears, it would be hard to ever step foot into the clubhouse again.
