In the aftermath of the “insurrection” of January 6, 2021, American companies governed by woke executives and boards fairly fell over one another to appease the left. A rash of virtue signaling was rare, as company after company stated that they would not contribute to campaign funds for anyone who voted against the certification of the 202 election results. Sensations, congressmen, and women have the Constitutional right of object to any cause or none at all. In actuality, Democrats have objected at least three times to the Electoral college vote since 2000. It should be noted that the only time a Republican has been elected since 2000 is in 2004.
The 2020 election certification was different because of three things. First, the election’s fraudulent, if not felonious, conduct in several states was unlike anything the nation has experienced outside the most benighted places in the South shortly after the end of reconstruction. The second was the unprecedented number of people who objected to the count. Six senators and 128 Representatives objected to the certification of Arizona’s results. Seven senators and 138 members of the House objected to certifying Pennsylvania’s results. The Senate did not support significant House objections to Nevada’s results in Michigan, Georgia and Nevada. Third, the certification took place in the shadow of the demonstration inside and around the US capitol that has been labeled an “insurrection” by the not terribly bright and led to the cold-blooded execution of Ashli Babbitt (WARNING. GRAPHIC VIDEO. Ashli Babbitt’s Shooting by Capitol Police Shows No Weapon and No Danger or Threat to the Cop or Anyone Else) and the alleged beating death of Roseanne Boyland at the hands of Capitol Police officers.
The Biden family began to prove they were corrupt and hopelessly inept. Some businesses started to pull back from the edge of fighting an electoral battle against people likely to be running Congress in 2024. The Hill reports that companies which pledged to penalize Republicans for not acting according to their oaths of office are slowly withdrawing from that promise.
Six months on from the Capitol attack, only a few corporations are still able to fulfill their promise to stop PAC donations to the 147 Republican legislators who voted against certifying 2020’s election results.
According to Federal Election Commission records, Verizon and Google are among 10 largest corporate PAC contributors that have pledged not to halt contributions to electoral objectors.
Other top PACs that vowed to withhold contributions, such as AT&T, Comcast, General Electric, Home Depot, Pfizer and Walmart, have been bankrolling party committees or leadership PACs that can easily funnel campaign cash to election objectors. Those company PACs have not made direct donations to the lawmakers’ campaigns.
The most important sign that Republicans are finally blaming their senators and representatives for not doing what was right is a Rolling Stone article titled Big Law Companies Promised Punishment to Republicans Who Voted To Overthrow Democracy. Now They’re Donating to Their Campaigns. This is strictly a “reader beware” situation as Rolling Stone is famous for just making crap up and portraying it as fact; see BREAKING. Federal Jury Declares Rolling Stone Magazine Guilty! GUILTY! GUILTY!
[Big Law firms] weren’t alone in reacting swiftly to the events of Jan. 6. Major corporations and their lobbying front groups in Washington called the insurrection “appalling,” an “assault on our democracy,” and “an attack on all those things that people cherish and associate with America.” Numerous major corporations from Pfizer to Chevron made pledges to freeze financial contributions to the House and Senate Republicans who had voted against certifying Biden’s election, many of them citing vague or baseless claims of election fraud. These corporations had resumed their donations to the Sedition Caucus members and to party committees working to reelect Republican lawmakers by the end of 2011.
Big Law is following the same path.
They were lying.
“Major law firms in Washington have resumed donations to those Republicans whose support for election-fraud theories and refusal to certify posed a grave threat to American democracy.” https://t.co/VMFHfGKbxg

Ahhh, isn’t it so cute when pedo-enablers have themselves a quiet cry?
It is no mystery why companies don’t make intemperate statements earlier in the year.
Nothing is going Biden’s way. The economy is in the crapper despite the “Biden Boom” gaslighting attempted by the White House and its fluffers (The Biden White House Propaganda Sessions With Colluding Media Seem to Be Working as ‘Biden Boom’ Trends on Social Media). The country is convinced that we are heading in the wrong direction by more than a 2-to-1 margin. The supply chain is in tatters (in my local Sam’s Club today, there was not a single pork product in the meat section, there were less than a half-dozen packages of chicken, and two ice cream freezers were bare). Biden is giving Ukraine to Putin and will be damned fortunate if he doesn’t wake up from his post-ice-cream nap one day and find China has taken Taiwan. Every poll shows Biden losing points in his approval rating, and his friends in the media have been reduced to citing Kamala Harris’ dismal ratings to make him look better. Current “generic ballot” polls, that is, a general preference for one party over another to control Congress, have Republicans at a point exceeding their standing at this point before the 2010 blowout. The only thing Biden can say he’s done that is positive is that he’s allowed Jimmy Carter to live to see a more inept, incompetent, and unpopular president than himself.
Big Law, like major corporations can anticipate what’s coming. Either they will remain with their awakeness, and be completely shut out by a new Congress. Or they’ll quietly abandon their virtue signaling to move on. It is increasingly apparent that sane people don’t consider January 6 an “insurrection,” and they don’t care about the silly little “commission” pretending to investigate that event. Voters aren’t going to cast their vote based on a senator or member of Congress having the foresight to try to keep Joey SoftServe out of the White House, and there is no downside to stop play-acting like the Republic was in danger on January 6.
This just goes to show that the aphorism “money talks and bullsh** walks” applies in politics as well as most other human endeavors.
