Not a word in English.

You can see the whole video HERE, including some stuff “too hot for TV”:

*Very* professionally done bit of anti-American propoganda.

Emailed Norstrom with my disgust of them cutting Ivanka's clothing line but as usual they have a quick responsive robotic email on the fly to respond quickly..it's your typical email that has been posted here before!! Here you go... Nordstrom phone # if you care to call!

Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to disappoint you. Our buying decision on this brand is not a political decision for us. We didn't buy the brand this season based upon its sales performance. We carry thousands of brands and making buying decisions based upon sales performance is a regular rhythm of our business. Again, I am so sorry for the disappointment this caused and I hope you will reconsider shopping with us. Sincerely, Kaitlen D. | Customer Care | Nordstrom.com | 888.282.6060

Never heard of “84 Lumber” before.But if it's a clone of Home Depot...or even just resembling Home Depot...their support for wetbacks is understandable.The fact that wetbacks hang around Home Depots looking for illegal work must help that company.And if it helps them it's easy to see why “84 Lumber” would think that it would help them as well.

Agree, there is NO gender wage gap. you can fake one by including all of the women electing to stay home and mom, in your calcs.

Only stupid people believe that lie, ergo, Audie = stupid people.

Now why would I buy a product from “proud to be” stupid people?

Odd that Nordstrom’s doesn’t happen to “announce” other lines they drop, throughout the year...every year!!

Perhaps, but I’d rather watch Casablanca for the 15th time than this crappy football game.

Yep, it takes more than 3 months to produce a Super Bowl ad, so these were all made with the assumption that Hillary would win. When Trump won, it was too late for them to do anything but edit them a bit.
