QAnon believers believe JFK, Jr. is still alive. Why? Not sure because I haven’t been that deep down the rabbit hole. Is there a Q For Dummies book out yet? There should be.

He hasn't publicly distanced himself from his friend Donald until this, at least in any way I have seen. We know Donald Trump has been a POS for years, this is not something that started when he was the President. I won't hurt my hands clapping for Bill when he does the right thing, here. (I also won't burn his likeness, I just don't think it is a thing worth applauding. Report it, fine, no issues.)
If I am wrong and BB has come out and said Trump is bad, I was wrong to publicly support him in 2016 then I take it back.
Kraft is donating a shit ton of money and the players decide where it goes toward social justice, youth groups, various community organizations, etc.
Meaning the decision was made for Bill. Got it.
No, Kraft started it this summer in response to the BLM protests. Can’t remember the amount but it was a donation made on a monthly basis based on what the players felt or decided.

I am just so glad Bill has great reverence for our nation's values. Now only if he could have transferred those values to his job. alas he has been disciplined multiple times for cheating. I guess cheaters congregate with their own.

Good
morning. Companies are halting donations to Congress members who backed
overturning the election result.

An ‘unthinkable’
corporate response
Large corporations and
their lobbyists usually try to steer clear of messy political fights.
Companies prefer to work behind the scenes, giving money to both political
parties and quietly influencing tax policy, spending and regulation.
But President Trump’s
effort to overturn the result of the presidential election — and the violent
attack on Congress by his supporters — has created a dilemma for many
companies. A growing number have decided that they are, at least for now, not
willing to support members of Congress who backed Trump’s efforts to change
the election result and promoted lies about election fraud.
Over the weekend, several
large companies — Marriott, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Commerce Bancshares — announced a suspension of
donations to members of Congress who voted against election
certification. Yesterday, the list expanded to Amazon, AT&T, Comcast,
Airbnb, Mastercard, Verizon and Dow, the chemical company. Hallmark has even
asked for its money back from two of the senators who opposed certification,
Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall.
In the Senate, the
temporary ban on donations will also affect Rick Scott of Florida, Ted Cruz
of Texas and a few other members. In the House, the group includes more than half of the
Republican caucus, including its two top leaders, Kevin McCarthy
and Steve Scalise.
“We have to create some
level of cost,” Thomas Glocer, a
board member at Morgan Stanley and Merck, told The Wall Street Journal.
“Money is the key way.”
The National Association of
Manufacturers, long one of the more conservative business lobbying groups,
has been particularly harsh. It called out
Republicans who “cheered on” Trump during his “disgusting” effort to overturn
the election, which it said had “inflamed violent anger.” The association
added: “This is sedition and should be treated as such.”
Still, many large companies
have not announced a change. (And other companies, like Goldman Sachs and
Google’s parent, have announced a pause on all
political donations — a move that seems designed to prevent public criticism
while also not angering politicians who supported attempted election fraud.)
McDonald’s and the tobacco
company Altria, which are among the top 20 donors to
McCarthy, the House Republican leader, have not announced a halt
on donations to any Congress members. Neither has Bank of America (a major donor to Scott),
although it said it would “review its decision making.”
The well-connected law firm
Squire Patton Boggs has also not announced any policy change. It has donated to Paul Gosar,
a House member from Arizona who helped promote
the Jan. 6 rally that turned violent, tweeting
“#FightForTrump” and “The Time Is Now. Hold the Line.”
What’s the bottom line? I asked
Andrew Ross Sorkin, the Times columnist who has spent two decades covering
corporate leaders, and he said that the announcements amounted to “temporary
defensive moves.” The real question was whether, six months from now, the
companies would go back to donating to the politicians who supported
overturning a presidential election.
I wonder if Belichick would’ve accepted that medal three weeks ago; pre-capitol riot, but post-Trump disputing the election results. Hard to speculate. He would’ve definitely accepted it pre-election though. Not a doubt in my mind. Still, better to get off the Trump-train late than to ever get off it at all. So good move by him to decline this.

Good morning. Companies are halting donations to Congress members who backed overturning the election result.

Hallmark has even asked for its money back from two of the senators who opposed certification, Josh Hawley and Roger Marshall.
“Just a few days ago, this would have been unthinkable,” Judd Legum — the author of the Popular Information newsletter, who has done the best recent reporting on corporate donations — told me.
In the Senate, the temporary ban on donations will also affect Rick Scott of Florida, Ted Cruz of Texas and a few other members. In the House, the group includes more than half of the Republican caucus, including its two top leaders, Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise.

For more, read Andrew’s latest column, which argues for a permanent end to corporate political donations.
