Lest anyone get hot flashes over Lemonis:
Marcus Lemonis: If you’re OK with what Trump said, don’t shop at my business
As for those who believe the economy is being driven by Trump, Lemonis called that notion “somewhat laughable.”

Camping World is the most dishonest and unethical RV dealership in the country. Anyone who buys an RV there is getting ripped off. That’s pretty well known in the RV community.
Gander outdoors/Camping World is run by anti-gun liberal puke POSs.
Mostly they started the Flag scam to try to reverse their massive drop in stock price.
They can go shove a Yeti cooler up their @$$!
This guy is pledging his fame and fortune on his right to honor America.
God bless him.
Very often, LEGAL immigrants become the strongest defenders of liberty.
They know what life is like without it.
This guy is trying to reverse the fallout from his trump statements by tying up the court system ... it is called legal marketing and is something liberals do who think they are smarter than everyone else. Don’t be fooled. Companies do this all the time for the free press they get
You need to read about him
It’s publicity
He’s a big league PC Arabist victimhood Mad at Trumps coziness to Israel progressive
Not worth your support Tim
Some may call you Tim, others may call you gullible.
I thought Tim’s post was quite reasonable.
Pertinent questions:
Lemonis says his company has been flying these flags in over 180 locations, for “a long time”.
How long is “a long time”? If it exceeds the period back to the stock drop (and a bit before, perhaps), then their flag flying is not a scam related to the stock drop, I’d say.
If the flags went up following the stock drop, then you likely have a point.
Unrelated to any alleged scam, etc., where the heck does any city have any business telling anybody how large a US flag they can fly, so long as it does not constitute some sort of safety hazard or block other advertisers (and even then, I think a complaint should have to be filed by a nearby business, and said complaint substantiated.) ???
Ah ok, well live too far away to buy there anyways.
wow thanks for the info.
“That one guy on the panel looked like Alfred E. Neuman”
I didn’t watch it. Was it Buttplug?
That ain't the only one, they have an outlet near me that flies the same size flag. Biggest flag I've ever seen on a flag pole......
I stopped watching Lemonis when he came out against the president.
Somewhat like IHOPB?
The Camping World in these parts has been flying a huge flag since the place opened over 10+ years ago.
