Bad news for liberals who just failed taking down In’n’Out, they now have to fail taking down the Seattle Seahawks too:

Billionaire Seahawks owner and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen this year has made his largest-ever foray into congressional politics, donating $100,000 to a group aiming to keep Republicans in control of the U.S. House of Representatives. The June 14 donation, disclosed in mid-July, went to Protect the House, a committee headed by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. It’s the biggest check Allen has ever sent to a federal political candidate or committee, according to a review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. Protect the House is a joint fundraising committee, a type of group that allows wealthy donors to make a single large contribution which is then divided up among multiple candidates and political-action committees (PACs) across the country. FEC records show the largest chunk of Allen’s $100,000 was sent to the National Republican Campaign Committee (NRCC), which received $33,900. An additional $5,000 went to the Great America Committee, a PAC created by Vice President Mike Pence. More than a dozen other congressional Republicans from Iowa to New York received about $2,600.

Oh noooes! LOL! I doubt they’ll start another boycott though, despite the fact that Allen gave FOUR TIMES as much as In-N-Out did, and his donation is decidedly partisan, as opposed to the hamburger chain, which also gave to Democrats.

They’re so spooked they didn’t even call for a boycott this time, they just want people to whine at the guy:







I see a few tweets of people saying they won’t cheer for the Seahawks because of this. I kinda doubt it. And that’s a good thing. Frankly, I’m sick and tired of politicizing everything in our society. That used to be a liberal thing. Now the loudest and most obnoxious people think that “winning” the culture war is by making everything about politics and bringing government into every aspect of our personal lives. No thanks.

So here’s another open thread opportunity, ya’ll go nuts. I hope you’re having a great Labor Day weekend. Scoop and I really appreciate your readership, and your comments, and especially when you share our stories and talk about them on social media. You and the community in the comments give us the remarkable opportunity to present the news from a conservative point of view, and we really feel blessed for it. Thank you.

Here’s some comment fodder:

That is frickin’ adorable.

my strongest-held belief is that extremely creative crimes that don't involve maiming another person should be allowed https://t.co/LJlW3oR11F — Ashley Feinberg (@ashleyfeinberg) September 1, 2018

OK. Funny.

During the '68 campaign, our plane hit rough turbulence. RFK announced to aides and the press: "I just want to say in all modesty that if we do not make it, your names will be in very small type." https://t.co/udCGlRS7cM — Jeff Greenfield (@greenfield64) September 2, 2018
