Same people who were outraged about boycotting In-N-Out last week are now boycotting Nike.  I can't have a double-double, wear nike's, what's next boycott Depends?  That would be troublesome for Trump if that were to happen.  Lou?

can we all agree that boycotts are pretty silly?

Yes, prob is there will be another next week of someone else. They don't last but seems people have too much time on their hands.

I would imagine Blarg will light his Nike shoes on fire but forget to take them off first.

I'm surprised he hasn't weighed in yet. I wonder which company he'll say is so much better than Nike?

Bruno Magli.

I wear mostly Brooks because they are more comfortable.

Yeah, I have purchased a pair of Nike shoes in a long time.  Regardless, Nike of course has the right to use whoever they want.  I just don't know why they would choose a person who will be guaranteed to annoy a decent percentage of potential customers.

I still don't think it will effect their bottom line, positive or negative.

 

What it does do, however, is to continue to feed the Trumpers their martyrdom crack.

You know Brooks did take the swoosh thing, alter it a little and just flip it around.  We need a boycott.

Good for Nike!

I’m 100% on the kneelers and Nike’s side but this is still funny

[Lou]

kneeling during the anthem has jumped the shark.

if they really want to garner attention for their cause, they should do snow angels

what does that have to do with the GOP caring about them?  other than politicizing them for their own benefits that is.

Nate has a point.  This is very similar to blacks voting for dems.

President Trump Seeks $12B Increase in FY2019 VA Budget to Support Nation’s Veterans 

WASHINGTON — In the fiscal year (FY) 2019 budget, President Trump is proposing a total of $198.6 billion for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

This request, an increase of $12.1 billion over 2018, will ensure the nation’s Veterans receive high-quality health care and timely access to benefits and services.

The budget also continues to implement reforms that will modernize VA and rebuild the full trust of Veterans.

“The 2019 budget reflects the strong commitment of the president to provide the services and benefits that our nation’s Veterans have earned,” said VA Secretary Dr. David J. Shulkin.

the time difference between Wisconsin and the rest of the country is about 11 months

[Adam]

I would assume a lot of Vets would have voted for Trump because Hillary was pretty much a lock for more wars. 

[Lou]

the Vets I meet love Trump.

[Spirit]

I've also met a number of vets with brain injuries.

which one of those links disproves that Trump didn't increase spending for vets?

i only got through 2 of them - one was about the wait time and the other was about the flag. I'm assuming the rest are more about nothing I had posted.

throw insults my way as much as you like. it's the lib SOP when they make a mistake and are called on it. 

[Lou]

btw, as I've stated before, I think Trump is an asswipe.
