The irony of this given his stand against Florida’s quiet racism and with private clubs should not be lost on anyone. It has on these idiot organizations.

Same here. I don't know what Trump said that was so horrible.

The press started the clucking like a bunch of hens which became louder and louder. I don't think half the people even think what they are so mad about. They just start whining on cue. And then turning threatening or violent. Some even pull down or vandalize statues.

"The Salvation Army issued a similar statement, saying its event at Mar-a-Lago helped raise money for disaster victims and the homeless. "Because the conversation has shifted away from the purpose of this event," the group says, "we will not host it at Mar-a-Lago."

What does that even mean??

They’ve all chosen sides with ANTIFA and BLM and tearing down monuments. They also just sided with promoting violence against free speech. Watch these virtual signalling fools looks a ton of donations. Sure they might get a superficial boost at first by some leftists showing their approval but they’re cheap as studies show conservatives are way more charitable.

LOL. I can just picture the freezing Salvation Army guy in a Santa suit ringing his bell at the entrance to Kroger and everybody walking past him gives him the finger.

No more to SV. Nothing to Goodwill either, because the Goodwill in Bakersfield hired illegals. I paid to take stuff to the dump rather than give it to Goodwill. The same will go for SV now.

also, shame on trump for having the komen foundation at his estate...they are pro-abortion, pro-planned parenthood and don’t mention the abc link...abortion/breast cancer... no republican should have anything to do with komen or their race..

The Salvation Army?

I have a car full of clothes on hangers I was going to take them tomorrow.

No way

I am going over there and telling them why they are going to the Junior League.
