The left really hates free speech. Macy's took a left turn - after Trump pulled his tie line

and hasn’t recovered yet.

I emailed them this morning; I don’t expect to get a reply except some pablum that they did it because of lagging sales. Neither side believes them no matter what they say so they have stepped in it.

Oh, you mean the Trump ties - made in China?

those ties? What's wrong with Trump he won't put his money where his mouth is and bring his own manufacturing back to the USA?

Hillary stayed with a womanizer/rapist for years and she is - their hero. I wish I could boycott

I know right. Trump would not be the first so called - womanizing president, nm

Such petty b.s. from supposed adults. What goes around comes around....karma. Trump is gonna have a very rough 1st year in office but he must stick to his agenda and not budge an inch - or these morons will be on him like flies on crap.

The Grab Your Wallet crowd is also calling for a boycott of Walmart and - any place that sells Ivanka Trump brand,

even though many of them sell left leaning items too.

I'll happily spend my dollars at Walmart - anon

I've found some good bargains there and their customer service is the best. I have, however, canceled my Nordstrom account as well. Also will not be allowing the super bowl to be show in my home this year. We can boycott and blacklist as well as the libs.

Let us be honest with ourselves, as MTs - we cannot afford anything Ivanka sells anyway!

[ In Reply To ..]
And it looks like that is the case with most of the Trump voters from what I can tell. So boycott away - in fact the boycott of people disliking Trump is what got them to pull the items.

Since we have no buying power at all thanks to our extremely low salaries, we also have no power when we boycott stuff, unless en masse, and even then, meh.

Let's face it, we are at the mercy of our low salaries and need for cheap stuff, so I can't even afford to boycott Wal-Mart, which I hate. Now that is sad.

But that's not the issue - Mrs. Tingles - sm

As an American any one of us should have the freedom to buy anything we want, whether it be the style of clothing that Ivanka Trump wears or the style that Michelle Obama wears. That is what living in this country is supposed to be about - freedom.

When one group tries to take away our freedom of choice then they are no longer living under the American system. To them it's my way or the highway. I'll take away your freedoms, but mine are okay. I will control what you can and cannot do, eat, watch or wear. My vote counts, but yours does not.

When one party tries to rule everything, take everything away from those they don't like, well that is how North Korea, Cuba and other socialist/communist countries live. That is not what America is about. I didn't fight against communism when I served for it to come and try to rule its ugly head in the future.

This is why they have to be stopped. Round them up and send them to the countries who live that way if that is
how they want it. I'm sure there are more than enough people in their countries who would trade their lives if possible.

I don't care if it's Ivanka or Michelle or Hillary's clothes (or Donald, Obama or Bill's clothes for men). I don't care if it cost $10. or $10,000. As a free American I should have the opportunity to buy it if I want it and nobody should be trying to take away my freedom. They are doing nothing more than trying to push their view (the communist view) on the rest of us.

That is not America and they are not Americans. If it's war they want they better be sure because that's what they will get...and they will not win.

It is also American to protest a store you object to - by withholding your dollars

Think about all those on this very board who said they won't buy Starbucks now and would patronize Uber because of Trump patronage. Personally, I won't set foot in a Hobby Lobby OR Chick-fil-A because of their abhorrent policies to me.

Divestment is very American. In fact, Harvard students are attempting to get the school to divest from fossil fuels. Divestment by universities in this country from South Africa during apartheid helped to bring down that system eventually.

It appears the Nordstrom thing has obviously been perpetrated by those with money, not the little guys. Perhaps even people on some board, just because of how things look. Even small dollar shoppers might go to Nordstrom to buy a pair of gloves or something, but would think nah, I'm not going there if they support Trump. That kind of consumer choice is a tool used to pressure companies, similar to divestment.

Generalizing about what is American and not American is tricky when it comes to consumer power. That is, after all, what this country was built on, and it is my opinion that these corporations being allowed to pay us as little as they like (in many many jobs, not just ours) is not good for a country which relies on consumerism as much as we do. But there are so many variables involved, automation, what will you do with displaced workers, etc., which nobody in power seems to want to face.

Everyone's vote counts when it comes to consumerism. I have no problem with Trump supporters flocking to businesses that support him, so maybe another big name store will pick up Ivanka's brand and they can vow to shop there? It's not communism, it's all capitalism and consumerism.

Then they don't have to shop there. They are trying to take away our freedoms - and only theirs matters

Now I know, new clothes ARE wonderful. But for a strapped-for-cash MT like me, on those rare occasions that I d ...

Let's not put too much weight down on anyone's "reputation" because it has happened many times throughout history that people with sterling reputations do bad things (and people with bad reputations do good things).

You need to understand that intent is absolutely not required to violate federal statutes with respect to the handl ...
