Harley Davidson partners up with....The Nature Conservancy??!

Yep!

So I just stumbled across this verified tweet at https://mobile.twitter.com/harleydavidson?lang=en and the link takes you to:

@harleydavidson

Because the great outdoors is not just where we live – it’s where we ride free. Help the @nature_org ➡ bit.ly/2ozvtwu pic.twitter.com/PsV0dWwp6p

and IT links to a Harley Davidson page ("Renew the Ride&quot which I cannot copy/paste dammit...turns out, HD is committed to helping The Nature Conservancy plant 50 million trees by 2025, and also committed to the idea of "sustainability"...!!!!

As you may recall, trump loves his bikers - Bikers 4 Trump etc., I mean, he loves(d) those guys. And he was supposed to go to Harley Davidson's headquarters in late Jan. for a love fest/speech, but had to cancel due to fear.

So HD came to him at the WH on Feb. 02 and yes, dft gave another bad speech - again, it won't let me copy/paste, grrr...but golly, I sure hope dumbfuck hears about how his biker boyz have teamed up with The fucking Nature Conservancy and are also aiming for some serious sustainability and that he then, you know, tweets some crap at them.


Link to shitty speech #237:

he's not - they're just a fine "symbol" of his overall supporter-base - but there simply weren't enough of them to make any difference in any voting tallies -

I kept track of them during his inauguration (via twitter) - they kind of disappeared, but then the following Saturday, they ended up dancing with some of the Women's March gals in a park!!? Good times!
