The Rev. Jacksonnnnnnnnnn is apparently answering phones.
Me too. And Springsteen is a commie. I’ll give directly to where its needed, I don’t need no stinking old rock and rollers to get me to donate. And Kanye West cn go $^^^#* himself. Along with Beyonce and that 1%er thang she calls a husband.
RObin Hood fund indeed. I wonder how much of that actually makes it to those in need.
And just who is it supposed to benefit? The loser bands that get the free publicity?
I think I just heard someone singing “Hallelujah, Sandy Screw Ya...”
Tooooo weird.
It was Adam Sandler, it was actually pretty funny
This will probably turn out like those concerts for famine relief where the entertainers got piles of bling, royal weekends with all the caviar they could eat and all the booze they could drink along with tons of publicity while the starving refugees got a few bags of rice dropped from a cargo plane.
Where are the concerts when countries like Bangla Desh, India etal are devestated by typhoons? Or even other disasters throughout the US such as wildfires and crippling snowstorms?
So let’s see, Springsteen cheated on his first wife with a member of the band, she is now his wife, then he cheated on her with a member of the band recently, Bon Jovi STOLE some $15 Million dollars from the Last charity he started, Kanye West Hates America and proudly proclaims so, Why in the world would ANYBODY patronize these worthless Human Beings is beyond me. Find a Reputable charity to donate to if you wish, but these people are died in the wool Communists and They all Proudly Proclaim so. Ther are the Scum of the Earth, and yes I lost what little respect I had for Governor Christie after his juvenile display when the met the 3 time ADULTERER.
Leftist/Racist groups. I’ll pass.
It’ll be funny to see how much foreigners contribute.
Let’s see the cash is going to to go to the SEIU, American Friend Service Committee and others. I’ll pass.
Floyd was awesome, some great comedy by Adam Sandler with Paul Schaeffer, watching “Bon Jovi” with “Springsteen”, and have not vomited yet.
Dave Grohl on the horizon, and this is not a Wellstone funeral by any means.
Performers have been good so far. Places the cash seem sot be going, not so much. The live streams have been awful.
OK that retarded communist son of a whore Jon Stewart is on stage, this is officially a communist party event.
Robin Hood Foundation, steal from the rich to give to the lazy and stupid.
If I donated to this it will further communism. If I flushed money down the toilet it will just be wasted. Guess which would be a higher use of money. I don’t choose either, but I would flush it before donating to communists.
Take a look at their Board of Directors, pretty much says it all
Do not donate...buy guns. Protect your family and the Constitution...restore America.
