People Think Ivanka Trump's Memorial Day Popsicles Are Insensitive | HuffPost
If I understand the outrage, it's that troops never drank anything alcoholic. Ever? Also don't you mean Memorial Day and not Veteran's Day. Your post refers to Veteran's day.

and i think there a lot of people out there who don't know the meaning of the word outrage.
You have described a huge percentage of the American public regarding what to do on Memorial day.

People Think Ivanka Trump's Memorial Day Popsicles Are Insensitive | HuffPost
First I'm seeing it and i've been on twitter all day.

Her people aren't good at this are they Not sure folks are outraged but posting something like this you are asking for trouble. Her staff has to be smarter. Not even one 'let's be thankful' or remember the sacrifice but a couple of -- here's how to have fun this week end....and let's make champagne popsicles (what a waste of champagne).....

Fun to see all Trump's fans with the whitey tighties all in a knot about people poking the bear.

It's like trolling kids.....you take the bait -- they are going to drop it every time.

LOL! Like 99% of Americans?

That's why it's under "Play".

Memorial Day Weekend for more than not - is a celebration of the start of summer. Monday is the day for remembering & gratitude for those who take the time to post a meme on FB or Twitter. Doesn't stop the partying.

They were taking issue with the champagne popsicle tweet, not her website.

As per the OPs link regarding the fake outrage on twitter .
