dived into what sounded like full-time Trump campaigning after they'd been in business just six months!

Some of those instruments are lovely, and I'd like to get my hands on them for a play. But they're very specialized. And pricey. Definitely niche market stuff, as you say. No wonder he has to play lots of gigs and take on a lot of repairs. It's more like financing an expensive hobby, by the sound of it.

I agree about mixing business and politics. A couple of years back I found out our bookkeeper had a Twitter account, part of the name was their business name, so it stood out to me. I had an idea we weren't on the same page politically, but she was constantly posting the most atrocious and often somewhat offensive tripe about Scottish independence etc. I've made it a policy to do my best not to let differing views on that issue come between me and folks in our community, but it didn't please me, and other clients (they don't have that many anyway) might not be so charitable.

I just checked out the Gofundme page again. They're now up to $14,756 ( I thinkthey were on $6,000 or so earlier today), so not a great haul considering the Fox & Friends exposure. They've had 9 donors in the last hour. Sure, it mounts up (one of those within the hour was for $100, maybe three for $50), but unless some of the RW websites get behind them and make them a "cause", it looks like this might peter out quite quickly.

I loved this comment:

Your preference in voting does not automatically deserve a Scarlett letter. I'm sorry you've experienced this hypocritical condemnation. YOU BUILT IT!


Ms Tucker, from the info posted on that very page, a number of very generous people from their community in Chicago did a heckuva lot to HELP them build it - and this is the thanks they get!
