Language matters.

The President is empowered by a Congress controlled by a narrow majority. Rather than the individual they have chosen, I am pissed at the Republican party. And disappointed in the American people. The guy? He was always that way and would have continued to be so at a safe distance from the levers of power without his enablers.

It is the American and especially Republican relationship with Canada that is important in this situation. Those are what endure, that person is only momentarily significant. So, where we can choose the narrative, I think that’s important to focus on.

Plus I suspect he likes the sound of his own name.

    I’m boycotting all American goods and services. No more Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Disney (Never did go to Walmart). Going to be looking elsewhere for these things now.

      I saw this image being passed around online. As an American I can’t comment on the accuracy of it, but hopefully it or similar lists help in your search.

        Thanks! Not sure of how accurate this is. I know there’s a Lay’s factory near me that makes chips. I guess the parent company is American. But that’s still a handy cheat sheet.
