Don’t buy American goods

[Davidhowarth29]

Stop buying American goods. The only thing Trump understands is money. Take it away

Funny, that’s the second time I’ve seen this ‘meat grinder’ phrase used in as many days – both times on mumsnet – having never heard this turn of phrase used before in my life.

That post was also claiming that Russia wants peace, etc.

When a man kills his wife the DV has stopped.

It’s a term that Musk has repeatedly used with regards to the Ukraine war. Indoctrination and propaganda works sadly

Just be aware that Amazon is a platform for many small British businesses, most McDonald's are own by British franchises, ditto the hotel brands etc.

Realise that you are hurting local people often so do ensure you choose a replacement that equally benefits the U.K. (don't use the Chinese companies!)

I hope this is a joke.

Propaganda wars

Aha that joins the dots then. One way or another was confident they were coming from a common source!

I'm sticking with Microsoft though as bill gates gives his billions away!

President Trump has said that one million Russian soldiers and 700,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed (The Times)

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky on Feb. 16., over 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed on the battlefield since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Speaking in an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan published on Feb. 4, Zelensky said that there have also been a total of 390,000 cases of injuries on the battlefield (Kyiv Independent)

What are you going to try and infer - that I’m a bot?

It’s a common way to discuss the Russian fighting style, as used by plenty of commentators including Peter Zeihan.

It’s a common term for the way Russian wages war. But no, it must be an evil
conspiracy because Musk used it too…

Common term amongst the brainwashed it appears 😆

Trump could say your auntie was your uncle, doesn't mean it's true.

Thanks for providing actual figures.

Trump and figures so likely to be wildly incorrect

Just buy local. Doing that contributes to local communities which have been eroded and degraded partially by the dominance of American companies and American tech in particular.

These are companies with one goal only: money and power, for the rich Americans who own and enable them (including politicians). These US companies do not invest back into communities, societies (or even democracy) anywhere. They just take and monopolise.

Buy local whenever possible.

Start to counter this American global dominance of supply chains and products across every sector. It’s not healthy.

I mean, is this actually the White House official page?

I was checking for the context that Trump had confused “transgender” mice with “transgenic” mice.

who writes this?
The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual).

on a .gov page? Someone tell me it’s a spoof.

president trump is not right. He clearly isn’t understanding the science and research. 3 of the 6 studies aren’t transgender specific, and even the 3 that are study effects of hormones and care, which is fucking important considering it’s now so common. And will likely have knock on effect in other areas of hormone research.

we’re supposed to conclude the man is not an idiot?

Absolutely this. Thanks for your post

By more Danish goods so Greenland will be able to defend herself.

😂😂oh my goodness, I was laughing so much at the dog 😂!

I know but it is major source of good updates and info and has a wide range of subreddits both left and right leaning and as far as I know are not (as a company) aligned directly with furthering the Trump agenda in the same way that facebook / meta is, via Zuckerberg for example, or X via Musk.

Like I say you can't boycott everything - it's about making changes where you practically can.

If he told me it was Thursday I’d check my calendar twice!

I think an effective boycott is probably not to visit - the tourist economy will feel the effects. Not that I have any desire to visit anyway.

@DoubleDoubleDown its a massive tangled web that many don’t get.

For example, I can buy local and buy from only uk based companies, but I will be paying for it with money earned from a US employer, like many people who are employed overall by US companies. If the US company gets boycotted and they can’t afford to page wages, British people looses jobs our british family loose.

Principles are great, my parents had them, their principles resulted in us all living in a homeless shelter when I was a child and that was just the tip of the iceberg. I will never do that to my children, I will always put my families needs over any principles.

And well it’s not as if boycotting US companies will effect Trump, he dose not care, the man’s a delusional dictator and bully. The only thing that will stop this madness is…. Well I won’t say as I will get my post deleted if I say it.

Are you russian? or just ... challenged?

Trump is trying to serve Ukraine to putin on a plate, with no military or any security, so the country can be erased from the map.
