I suspect someone like “Rev.” Jacksonnnnnnn is involved with help from the MSM. A few protesters don’t have that much influence over these huge companies.

I happen to *like* that one for obvious personal reasons.
Sadly, due to PC tyranny, it, too, will be part of the purge.
So I bought two of them.
Is that okay with you?
I can always cancel my order.
There’s no evidence he’s related to Odinga. Let’s “keep it real” here!
I fly two flags: Gadsden and the Stars and Stripes.
I don’t fly the Confederate flag because I’m a Northerner and I don’t think people should fly a flag of a war’s loser. That’s my opinion though, people have that right.
I’m just busting chops because I’m a Yahhhnkee.

Welcome to FR.
Way to stick your foot in it.
