Bug Blog by Cuco Rocha Come On, Bud... Conservatives are boycotting Budweiser because it was created by an immigrant? May I remind them that breathing was probably pioneered by a foreigner?
Of course, they’d have to forget supporting the use of any sort of nuclear options. The theories which led to the development of nuclear weapons came from an immigrant – Einstein.
In this case, businesses make a determination who buys their products and whether it’s worth alienating a small minority. It’s called “free enterprise”, something conservatives don’t understand. Along with everything else.
To zippy: Wow, you’ve really got a bee in your bonnet over Ivanka. Just remember that Ivanka has her hands very firmly affixed to the levers of power as a close advisor of her father. It’s not like she’s really disavowed anything he’s said or done. And she’s part of the clan who is directly profiting “simply because of who her father is.” So she’s a much more valid target of a boycott than you might care to admit.
Also, nobody’s weeping over conservatives trying to mount one more of their boycotts. Just poking fun at them for their wrong-headedness.
This is amazing. I haven’t bought Bud for years because I saw it as associated with right-wing attitudes and causes. And now Trump’s followers are boycotting it because there were immigrants involved in its founding? This would be totally hilarious of it weren’t unbelievably frightening.

Hey, then, guys, be sure to stay away from beer that’s native to Germany. Or Belgium. Or Austria. Or …. oh, heck, you get the idea.

Watch the hypocrites boycott Ivanka’s products simply because of who her father is. Then boo-hoo about so-called woman haters.

To zippy: Addendum: Ivanka Trump wouldn’t even have a clothing line were it not for “who her father is.”
