    I do wonder if this is a new tactic by Trump...pick a random right-wing twitter controversy...say something controversial...get everyone worked up over it.

    This is Trump we're talking about.

    I know local chapters vary but they almost all want to defund police, abolish bail, and disrupt the nuclear family structure. I believe the things are vital. We can disagree.

    You said mission statement as if they had one. Can you post it verbatim?

    This is so, so stark and sad. A 9/11 worth of people every 48 hours or so.

    My understanding of this is that there is a general ban on paraphernalia with political slogans. While BLM is political it’s not about a political party or running candidates whereas “MAGA” is specifically tied to a political campaign.

    Regarding the slide in question it’s possible it’s real but it’s also possible it was made by an a lower level employee just relying upon their own views without running it by corporate.

    Absolutely. The President can’t endorse a private company but he certainly can’t call for a boycott because he doesn’t like their dress code:

    Ethics violations are pretty much daily in this administration.

    He's definitely endorsed companies and gets away with it.

    And about 40% of the country---enough to take the Electoral College, if you also trash the USPS---support this intergalactic doucher.

    Hypothetically........if Godzilla took a giant dump? Trump is bigger than any turd Gojira could squeeze off.

    I don't buy Goodyear tires because they suck not because of anything Trump said.

    It also could be totally fake.

    Do you really think a Billion dollar company is letting some low level employee locally create diversity training?

    In 20/20?

    This is not The Office.

    More like suck money out of your wallet because they wear out way too quickly. I even used to work for the company and got discounts and learned to stay away from their products. Ever since Stan Gault retired as CEO the company went downhill.
