  1. Of course they are. 

    Gotta spread that Trump branded hospitality based in ignorance and lies, you know, give ’em a little of the ol’ Springfield treatment.

    The Trump team really hits the issues that Americans care about – slamming a successful American business. Yes, that will motivate voters and improve lives.

    Just showing us what to expect if he wins. Criticize his administration? Expect repercussions. Free speech? Only for him and his. Despots and wannabe despots have the thinnest skins and their tools are fear and violence. This is his vision for America.

  4. I go to that shop often. I enjoy buying gift boxes for all my Trump loving relatives. They love the good spices, think I’m great, and they are supporting a great cause whether they want to or not.

    Impact will be zero.

    1. The spices are super high quality and priced appropriately. The raisins in their unseasoned potato salad crowd is already not shopping there.
    2. Bill Penzey (the owner) has made zero bones about his naked contempt for conservative policy on social media and their customer communications.
    3. If you really want to show support; their Mural of Flavor seasoning is terrific on darn near everything.

  6. Penzey’s is a great store, I was just there a couple weeks ago. If they start getting bomb threats a lot of locals are gonna be pissed.

  7. I have been buying from them online for years — no other spices and blends come even close. Freshness makes a BIG difference. And sourcing.

    Total fan here — people actually think I can cook!

  8. Penzey’s has been trolling Republicans with liberal political content in their marketing for years. I’m sure they welcome this kind of publicity and view the fact it made it all the way to the top as an accomplishment. They will probably even get a bump in sales from it.

    Actually now that I think about it, I need to place an order. I just ran out of Justice.

  9. The Republican departure from conservative values and embrace of what, from a distance, looks a whole lot like insanity didn’t happen by chance. All of it has been intelligently crafted with the goal of preserving the position of those who profit from the inhumanity that is at the very roots of pretty much every problem we are facing. From the environment, to racism/discrimination, to health, to saving our democracy at home and growing it abroad, half the time Republicans are intentionally blocking the solution to the problems we face. The other half of the time they are the problem we face.

    The truth of our time is we’ve arrived at the point where there’s no way to respect the nonsense the Republican Party is promoting and have any hope of overcoming the problems we as a nation and we as a planet face. Given the choice between saving America and planet Earth or saving the feelings of Republican voters, we are choosing to side with saving our country and our world. I’m sorry it’s come to this.

  10. From the article, “his company lost almost 3,200 email subscribers following Harris’ visit but gained over 7,700.”

    It’s not just the net gain, it’s the improvement in quality of his customer base.

  11. This is as bad as attacking Taylor Swift albeit on a much smaller scale. You do not mess with home cook’s favorite spice company

  12. PENZEY’S??? He’s fucking with Penzey’s now? Gawds how I hate the orange doddering fuckface. Go show your support, they’re a great company that makes AMAZING stuff. The Fox Point seasoning is magic.
