Donald Trump has promised to liven up this year's Republican National Convention. But some of America's biggest corporations are bailing on the party.

Apple recently became the latest company to give the GOP's presumptive nominee the cold shoulder; it won't contribute money or products to the Republicans' big shindig in Cleveland this month.

I notice that Nordstrom’s here in Seattle who commonly shipped via UPS is shipping via FedEx lately. The Nordstrom family, at least the founder and several generations thereafter have always been staunch conservatives.

Neiman Marcus and Saks have always shipped via FedEx.

Hopefully some other biggies will ditch UPS over this sheyt.
