Where I live I see none of this going on. If some business owners have Trumpie leanings they evidently know better than to make it known. It would certainly cost them a lot of business. Uh, it would mine!Oh, and yeah if I see obvious indications of Trump support I'll find option b, restaurant, shop, whatever. If they want to get political at their place of business I'm going to choose to get political in how I spend my money. That also goes for Christian asshats like Hobby Lobby.
Links?The CEO of Home Depot made his unwavering support known. I haven't been there since.
In the case of the Home Depot, Bernie Marcus could probably care little to none whether people boycott Home Depot. Sure, he founded the company, he helped it grow, and created it into a major home improvement corporation.
But he already has sold off virtually everything associated with Home Depot. If you started off a business, helped it make billions, then sold it all one year, the whole corporation could burn to the ground and you would be completely unscathed. He hasn't been part of Home Depot since 2002, so any actions by boycotts here are 17 years too late.
He (FORMER CEO) evidently sold off his stake in HD in 2002, see my post above and quotation.Don't feel like digging, but he said he'd support the felon even after his convictions.
Is that the same kind of "people" as the PRC and Trump's idol, Xi Jinping?
Bobby's other kids don't agree.
The video they show on TV news of RFK Jr. explaining his cancelling his campaign is shocking. His voice sounds like his vocal chords are non-existent. I can't remember meeting anyone whose voice is so destroyed. Also, his face is out of a horror movie. I don't know his history. Seems to me that young children would recoil from him in terror. Vance and Trump extolling him is otherworldly.Imagine thinking your grandma would be proud to see her awkward grandson get politically cucked in front of the whole country and beg for more.
I know this man already has no self respect whatsoever but come on.
Well, Abe was said to have been born (and grew up in?) a log cabin. The first president to be born in a hospital was (am looking it up again)...I don't remember if it was on this board or another. Somebody brought out the point that both Kam and Tim worked at Mickey Dees early in life.
Who (if any recently) were the previous Pres and/or VP that worked blue collar before moving on up? The Bush's were all silver spoon for example. I don't know much about the early life of the others.
Edit: I was just reading the Wikipedia treatment on Bill Clinton and came upon this eyebrow raising paragraph. I figure this is little known!James Earl Carter Jr. was born October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia, at the Wise Sanitarium, where his mother worked as a registered nurse. Carter thus became the first American president born in a hospital.
In November 1996, Clinton narrowly escaped possible assassination in the Philippines,[157] which was a bridge bomb planted by al-Qaeda and was masterminded by Osama bin Laden. During Clinton's presidency, the attempt remained top secret,[158] and it remains classified as of March 2024, when Reuters reported having spoken with eight retired secret service agents about the incident.[159]

Fits well with Trump since he appears to have ptsd. I wonder if that makes him a sucker or a loser?He has spasmodic dysphonia.
Free advertising for McDonald's lol.I don't remember if it was on this board or another. Somebody brought out the point that both Kam and Tim worked at Mickey Dees early in life.

At Whittier [High School], Nixon lost a bid for student body president—his first electoral defeat. He often rose at 4 a.m. to drive the family truck to Los Angeles to purchase vegetables at the market and then drove to the store to wash and display them before going to school.
Causes…what causes spasmodic dysphoniaHe has spasmodic dysphonia.
Has anyone considered this is how the worms procreate?It wasn't but a week ago he was attempting to get a position somewhere in Kamala's team. And I was dead before his father was assassinated, but his son seems to be about as polar opposite of his father as possible. Or maybe JFK had worms in his head and was pranking the people of Central Park by leaving a dead bear there.
He's right about the historic part though, it's going to be a historic shitshow. I didn't think it could get any more looney than Trump + Vance. But RFKJ can give both a run for their money.
The scary part is them adding him will actually bring Trump more voters. Only in MAGA land could adding RKFJ actually be a good thing.
