Home Depot shoppersTwitter-bots threaten boycott over Trump-supporting co-founder

Is what it should read.

I shop at Lowe's exclusively (unless they don't carry something I need and H.D. does - then I buy it at H.D. and let Lowe's management know about it)

"wrote one Twitter user."
Companies have GOT to stop running scared of social media frenzies. It's pathetic.

Fair enough. I switched from Lowe’s when they started donating to gun control groups years ago.

Good, that will make it easier to park when I go there once or twice a week.

I’ve been to Home Depot 2 or 3 times in the last week. Each time, I thought about the Marcus Foundation and was pleased to visit the store of a great, patriotic American. Bernie Marcus is one of the folks who made a positive contribution to society.

When will business leaders STFU in politics? No matter who they support, then the set up 50% disapproval. The Home Depot loudmouth should be fired.

Other than buying a bit of wood and maybe a buzz saw in order to frame canvases, why, exactly, would any Leftist ever step foot in a Home Depot?

Don’t let their screaming fool you, Home Depot is for MEN, not Metrosexuals.

Maybe with the Leftists gone, Home Depot can start taking down the HUGE SIGNS that identify each aisle, as most REAL MEN can identify the Electrical, Plumbing, Lumber, and HVAC aisles without needing signs SCREAMING in our faces.

The Bull Dykes would shop there.

” Chick-fil-A has only grown into the third-largest fast food chain in the U.S.”

Per store sales they are the largest by far at over $4 million/store.

Next is Whataburger at $2.7 million/store.

Doofus!!!! They aren’t satisfied with control of the media, the education system, too many judges, corrupt obama gov, facebook, twitter, and the rest .. TV, movies.. you name it. They want to destroy the good in this country, and insert their lost corrupt absolute control.

JUST SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

“If idiots want to boycott the place, they’re just killing off their own kind.”

In the liberal’s world you can’t just support a few critical initiatives, you must support all of them; even if they are contradictory. (That’s what “double think*” is for.) Also, in the liberal’s world, they aren’t alive unless they are sanctimoniously calling for something from someone else to support their cause. Liberalism is a religion and its adherents are fanatics.

* dou·ble·think

NOUN
double-think (noun)
the acceptance of or mental capacity to accept contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrination.

They can’t do that. I’m boycotting my local HD paint dept. because of the jerk behind the counter who spends the whole time going on and on about how he campaigned for Ayanna Pressley and he cares about the illegal immigrants and sneering about Trump and the wall and blah, blah, blah. So you can’t boycott them for the opposite at the same time. Wait your damned turn.

I am a loyal HD shopper at the closest store. Why? Because the manager has a policy of reminding his employees in a stern tone that they are there to sell stuff and it’s not a social media store.

Home Depot is just another retail Chinese store front. So I have mixed feelings.

Here’s a question for anyone: If a citizen applies for a job, but the job is given instead to an illegal, does the citizen denied the job have standing to sue the prospective employer....?

If so, could class action be applied in large scale cases...?

they’ve known all along the co-founder was a trump supporter-

Merely, Moral Preening.

Ken Langone also a Home Depot founder-. “Langone recently donated $100 million to help make NYU’s medical school tuition-free for all students.” That Evil Bastard.

Have at it you ignorant “Progressives”.

Predict this will work out even better than the Chick-fil-A boycotts.

Everyone needs to eat, but not everyone knows how to use a hammer.
