The Political Thread

[Deezy]

And people who love Fox News are obsessed with calling CNN fake news.

These people should just stick to posting on Dick's Sporting Goods facebook ads that they are boycotting their store for hating America.

Same people who buy Nike shoes to burn them

I don't think anyone bought Nike shoes to burn them. They burned the pairs they already owned.

No I've seen videos of freshly bought gear.

I doubt those were the majority of the people doing it. It would be counterproductive to boycott someone by buying their shit.

Counterproductive is their brand.

If you're burning your clothing that you own yourself, you're still being an idiot.

You could either give it to charity/donate, or sell it on eBay.

Either way, you're being a moron for doing it. And I highly doubt Nike gives a fuck that you are burning stuff of theirs you already bought.

It's a political statement. Shoes and clothes don't last forever. Their customers are usually repeat customers. The point they're making is I'm burning what I already own and I won't be buying anything else from you again. I personally don't see the point, but many people protest for whatever.

I understand it, but that doesn't make it any less silly and moronic to destroy it when you could donate it. Tons of kids out there without shoes and clothes, man.

I mean I do get it...I won't eat at Chik-Fil-Et because of their LGBT stance. I mean, I'm also a vegetarian so not like I'm missing much...But hey.

That's speaking with your wallet tho, only language that works in America

Yes, and logical. I don't mind if others eat there, but I feel strongly in my stance about LGBT rights and do not agree with their stance. If someone said "I don't shop here because their stance on ___", even if I don't agree with it...Sure, okay. But destroying your stuff? Silly.

But if I already owned stuff and felt strongly against the brand or something? I'd donate it to goodwill.

So Trump said he is gonna shut down the border. And he means it, he is not joking.

This was me when I heard his toupee wearing ass saying it.


Idiot.

It's a US territory, what an idiot.

Yesterday he put the word "place" in quotations when talking about Puerto Rico like he didn't even consider it a place Dude still hasn't learned how quotation marks work though so I don't think anyone should read anything into that. Also don't see why Puerto Rico keeps getting denied in their attempts at becoming a state other than the obvious reason of republicans scared all those brown people wouldn't vote for them.

I heard there is a recent request for a bill to make them the 51st state. I wholeheartedly support it.

The dumbest complaint I've ever heard against them as a state is that we'd have to print new flags Like oh no what a travesty would that be, shit just combine the Dakotas or something if it's that big of a deal
