I have been a news junkie all my life, as of November 6th I no longer watch news. I have not been reading any reports either. What happens here forward I really don't care. hopefully I can just enjoy the life I have left.

@Al515151

So agree. Not listening to blame game, talking heads who KNOW what happened after the fact, dumbass “I told you so”
rants, etc.

We get the government we deserve.

Again.

I've been news, politics junkie, I am now checked out.
It only makes sense to me that DJT are stupid (even, if they are racist or misogynistic) to hear Trump speak and think, "now, that is a world leader."
Why know facts, when they don't matter to voters?

@Bix I agree, I am not going to watch the news for four years. In fact, I believe that our major media is the enemy and shutting them off is a silent protest. Starve the three major networks of eyeballs and let them lose money.

@Bix @Al515151

That’s the thing.

I shifted from despising trump. He made no attempt to cover his despotic personality or intentions.

Just the contrary.

My beef is with those who found it the perfect combination of qualities to occupy the Oval Office.

@Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 My husband and I have not watched the news since election night.

His vote is going to bring unnecessary suffering to many people. Maybe that why he voted that way. People who felt powerless can make others feel their pain without consequences for themselves or their family.

That is until the tariffs kick in.

Self Checkout Activity...

When you check out, ask the person next to you if they voted for #47, and if they did, hit them up for the increased cost of the tariff.

@JanetZumba_FalPals @Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit
"Made in the USA" can still mean with parts made not in the USA, which would also incur tarrifs. Also if made in the USA is indeed cheaper, it won't be long for price gouging to grow out of control. The tarrifs will affect EVERYTHING.

@JanetZumba_FalPals @Madken65 @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit @Liliki

Unfortunately the criteria for the made in USA label is vague.

""All or virtually all":
The key phrase is that the product must be "all or virtually all" made in the USA, which means a very small amount of foreign content might be acceptable in certain situations."

@JanetZumba_FalPals @Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @Liliki

“Made in the USA”. “Assembled in the USA” whatever the regulatory or legal definitions may be presently could change drastically.

Here @Bix I encourage you and others to stay informed at least for your own navigation of the choppy seas ahead. Control what you can, influence what you can or face helplessness.

Let us learn how to make our own clothing, if possible, or find someone who is already locally making clothes, or buy used from consignment

@JanetZumba_FalPals @CanisPundit @Madken65 @VeganHiker @Bix @Al515151 @InUnfunky @Liliki

I’ve bought J Jill, Michael Kors, LL Bean, Burberry, Patagonia etc at Goodwill. Know your labels. Free range with intention and attention.

Recently bought my DIL small porcelain Brie baking dish from Pillivuyt France for $3. Another Habitat ReStore score.

Hostess gift for Thanksgiving with Fromage d’Affinois to bake for DIL & son.

I will never respect nor have a shred of empathy for trump voters. I'm originally from France, I've heard all the family stories about how nazism impacted us. How my great uncle was tortured and executed by the gestapo. How my grandfather and my uncles wound up in the Maquis, how my grandmother survived interrogation. How my mother couldn't stand the sound of airplanes or knocks on doors until the day she died.

@Liliki @Bix @VeganHiker @LnzyHou @Al515151 @InUnfunky @CanisPundit

This fallout in the USA is unworthy of time spent trying to figure out what/who we are.
