    That is very true.
    If one supported/donated to the rally, they also supported the attack on democracy and the electoral process.
    Whether the riot happened or not.

    How often do you shop at Target? Since they allowed gender neutral on bathrooms.

    Life is to short to worry about many things. If the store offers products you want and prices you like, patronize them.
    If one enjoys NFL games, don't worry if some players do a peaceful protest before the game.

    Do the things in life that makes you happy, and forget the rest of the BS. For in 50 yrs, it won't matter anyway.

    But THIS is sort of T**** story I really enjoy.... symbolism!

    KA-BOOM goes more "legacy"... I don't know if you've ever been to Atlantic City, but that boarded up hotel/casino really is an eyesore on a nice boardwalk

    Trump's business losses are meaningless to me. Why aren't they meaningless to you? Do you follow Obama's personal gains and losses in the same way you seem to be focused on the Donald?

    Go to CNN.com and review who is front and center on their news cycle and how many times his name is there just at the top!! You can disagree all you want, but Trump is everywhere because liberals are keeping him viable! That hatred for the man runs so deep it is like Stockholm syndrome!

    No thanks... Not a big fan of the anchors and graphics on CNN.... Prefer MSNBC, which has only mentioned him in passing the entire time I've been watching today ("Inciter of the insurrection on 1/6 - stuff like that)...

    Because his business gains and losses were most likely surrounded by criminal activity... as most in the know assert...

    I hope he gets to visit his former casino before the end... maybe 30 seconds before demolition?

    Why do you have such venom in regards to someone who tried a business venture, and failed? He dusted off, and tried again.

    Can you say the same?

    So, CNN has Trump mentioned 9 times on their main page, 5 of those at the very top of the page. MSNBC has him mentioned 64 times on their main page. Even Fox only has him mentioned 39 times.

    Chick Fil A is booming. I am happy for the company. Publix has over-priced groceries because they pay higher wages and give stock and the consumer foots the bill, or can choose not to. So, if Democrat voters are all wee weed up because money was donated to Trump, then they don't support high wages or benefits given to unskilled labor, which is what Publix does.

    Come on Democrat voters, which is it? Are you for the common, unskilled worker or are you just a party hack and want to punish those who don't support Democrats

    Leftists lost the argument. So they're going after free speech and our constitution itself. Wait till they realize that their own party is the party of slavery, racism, Jim Crowe, and has chained minorities to the government dole and robbed them of Fatherhood and dignity. Wait till they realize that they themselves are the most corrupt, deceitful people in the nation.

    And the word criminal doesn't apply, until proven guilty.

    So every business person who developed a business, and then had it fail, had extreme wealth?

    Simply put, yes, your anger will distort your 'truths'.

    uh huh... and the Sahara was a tropical grassland, Australia was connected to Antarctica, and Chuck Grassley was in his 40's...

    What of that matters in 2021....

    do you honestly think that we can stop the planet from doing what's it's done long before we roamed the earth?

    Seriously, making people pay more for gas and to subsidize electric cars might make you feel good, but it's the pinnacle of arrogance to think you can change climatic cycles that have happened throughout history.

    I get it, you've been told that folks in the USA can change the world from doing what it's always done. All we need do is A: vote Democrat and B: pay taxes so Democrats can go on junkets

    that would require the truth and facts to be taught throughout the entire educational system. It's really not the fault of Democrat voters because NPR tells them that the GOP is evil and racist, so it must be so
