"Some residents"

There are always a few rectal vents in every crowd.

The way I read it: two people expressed a concern.

What? More than one?

With today’s PC environment, that could result in the US Constitution being tossed out.

We see things changed, removed, and obliterated due to a few whining loudmouths all the time now.

“”This is a senior living community,” Cubano explained. “People have health emergencies and doctor’s appointments.”

Every day and all the time? That sounds more like an assisted living community for the disabled-I wasn’t aware that most people in Florida senior communities were so disabled-it also sounds like they think because they paid a really high price for their homes that they don’t think “just anyone”-as in anyone who isn’t wealthy enough to live here-should be able to come to an event there-sounds like a snobby bunch...

35 years ago Wimauma was a place with trailers that served as temporary housing for migrant workers. I remember going door-to-door with folks from church telling people about Jesus. Yes, we had Spanish speakers with our team.
I am shocked that this visit by VP Pence is “news”.
I can’t wait for the outrage when he and President DJT start visiting black and mostly black churches!!

Wimama is in the middle of no where! Seriously, it’s south of Tampa in a somewhat rural area. Good gravy, nothing will happen there.

Some residents... Valencia Lakes is a new retirement community, next to an established retirement community that is 90% Republican, so I guess, the VL community will be about 90% Republican, too...
