The Frankish Reich Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Well, I gotta hand it to Poyer for doubling down here. I had not idea what the new sponsor - "PublicSq." - was, so I checked. It's an attempt to create an alterna-Amazon that vets merchants for their adherence to "conservative" principles. Apparently Donald Trump Jr. is an investor. You now know the facts. Support him, decry him, or ignore his politics (my choice; he's a football player, I watch him play football and really don't care about his politics). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about competition. I like it, especially when the rules are enforced. I guess that equates to elitism in your mind. Winning is good. Losing is bad. Elites that win without cheating represent the American dream. Poyer’s done that but it appears to have cost him his mind. I’m not in Poyers league but my mind is pretty clear.

I said I don't care about his politics. I like him as a football player. I'm saying that he did, in fact, double down on the political implications of his tourney. It started as a charity that just so happened to be scheduled for Trump's Doral. His original sponsor was uncomfortable with that. So he found a substitute sponsor that is overtly political. It's a fact, not an opinion, not bitching. Some will love it, some will hate it, I will watch him on Sundays in fall and ignore him in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out as "I have a summer charity golf tournament, and it just so happens that I scheduled it for a Trump course." Either as a reaction to criticism, or as an expression of Poyer's true intent, it is not now something that is implicitly political, but something that is expressly political. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case this is probably a good move for Poyer and he has some smarts it appears. He's capitalizing while he's relevant. It amazes me that you MAGA's make Biden out to be the manchurian candidate and pay no attention to the puppets the R's nominate. 1 hour ago, Doc said: The PublicSq screed.

Yes, it was too late for anyone else to win. In this case, the ends did justify the means. It's not like he paid off a hooker he repeatedly slept with. I'm sure there are a flock of advisors around him. Edited July 3, 2023 by redtail hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
