Evidently the image is so protected it doesn’t render on either a Firefox or Chrome browser. There is a large blank space below his picture, but nothing shows up in the source code. Peculiar.

I use Opera, the image won't show up on that either. Weird.

I did have one professor who asked the class what we would do if we were asked to serve a customer we ideologically disagreed with. He said that we might have to be willing to walk away rather than serve someone. I said that basically if there is a buck to be made providing a service, it is not my business to plumb the depths of a person’s heart before providing that service. I would not want to work for an unethical company, or do unethical things, but I could do my duty come what may for an ethical company. I was in the minority with this view.

I think Chase should investigate because they may have people going rogue.

“Sod off, troll.”

A strange comment!

"There is more to this story. Chase would not do this."

Yes they would. They have been cutting gun-related businesses off for quite a while now.


Then, just, wow!

could you flag the 10% I’m not supposed to believe?


Only if you hire me as your personal fact checker.

“Now it begins.”

What begins? Why are there some people who are wanting to be attention seeking drama queens and declare such beginnings??

“As always, GP promotes click-bait.”

And some people here will turn off their critical thinking skills and buy the guys victim card.

Some banks yes have taken some political positions with businesses in industries those banks don’t agree with such as firearms and payday lending.

But they don’t go after individuals that have strong political beliefs.

sorry, I thought you had a list, your number was so precise. I assume you would not make up something like that.

In case you don’t notice, FR posters often serve as fact checkers. Most recently the way the “assault” on the TV guy is covered here.

"This needs a thorough audit and if wrongdoing is found, those people need to be fired."

This comes right from the top. They have been doing this to gun-related businesses and the NRA previously.

One thing I believe we should consider, and I know this is opening up another can of worms, is the wisdom of rules in the marketplace that allow people to be refused service based on ideological reasons. The cake baker is certainly a sympathetic figure, but I think that cases that have been foisted upon our legal system like that one will end up codifying an ability by corporations to legally punish people for myriad reasons.

I think we are better off with a marketplace that is apolitical.

I was only joking. I would be surprised if in total, 50% of what is on the internet is true.

Also, I like the fact checking that goes on here on FR. There is a actual expert on the subject matter on just about any topic here. And if someone is blowing smoke it is quickly called out.

The "fact checking" that goes on in the mainstream media is blinded by an overwhelming partisan bias.

I mopiest almost anything on FB. I have over 800 Friends and family. Within an hour I usually get the counterpoint or something that disputes the post.

Sigh...Toady, Toady, Toady....

The beginning of de-platforming people in a more personal way through businesses they use. Laura Loomer has been denied service by Twitter, PayPal, Uber, Uber Eats, and Lyft.

What's to stop leftards at a large national bank from refusing your business based on your politics?

If Chase can legally close his account, why does a baker have to bake a homo wedding cake?

There it is in black and white, they lose - we win.

“The beginning of de-platforming people”

Listen, sunshine, this stuff began a few ago before you hit puberty. I know when you think you’re the first to have ever read about such a thing is causes alarm in you and “It Begins!” declarations just burst from your inexperienced mind, but trust, us, this ain’t new.

That’s part of ones credit score? Participating in the sewage known as Twitter?

It's called a "social credit" score and it is currently being implemented in China. Once the bugs get worked out, it'll get rolled out here as well.
