Not the NFL or wrestling though...or comic books

Pretty sure that would be viewed as an, “illegal boycott,” because not buying something you don’t want is illegal according to an orange shit gibbon.

There’s a saying about bullies; the bigger they are the harder they fall. Usually though, it’s more like the bigger they are the harder they hit you.

uncledon.bsky.social•11 days ago

There’s another saying; “you have to bully a bully”. It’s the only thing they understand.

waynestuart.bsky.social•11 days ago

If you too are big and powerful, then that approach might just work. A block like the EU for instance… oh.

Coca Cola and Levi jeans is a start. Just remove it from the shelves.

I did enjoy shady Vance reference to the anti-abortionist being a veteran - as though we are ignorant of how the Trump admin has trashed veterans affairs within 70 days or less

All imports should prominently feature the flag of the country of origin on their packaging.

Then we could decide not to buy from America until they decide this experiment is total rubbish.

anything BIG happening in the USA?
asking for a friend

BBC is not interested, not sure why?

Trump is great news for the EU now an island of stability for investors! For the first time in history, the shares of the 600 largest European manufacturers are consistently better than the S&P 500 largest US manufacturers!

This is correct. The path of return for the US to NATO, normalized trade relations, etc. - is for MI6 to spill some tea on what Russia has on Trump, then threaten to spill the rest if he doesn't.

buckyfreed.bsky.social•11 days ago

Spill it all and jail the traitors

At this rate... UK is gone become the 51st state before Canada. And we'll 'bathe' in chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef to bloat ourselves while clapping at Trump's televised appearances with MAGA red hats on... Although I fear some are already there...

From a Canadian: it starts on the individual level. Buy from your own country. Buy from allies. Buy from countries not led by convicted criminals. Tell your friends and families that you have started and do what you feel is right for you. Hopefully others follow. Sure caught on here.

If you don't need ill fitting denim work clothes, pretty but poorly performing motor bikes or a sugary whisky flavoured drink, you can buy better, cheaper from UK/Europe.

peasandthankyou.bsky.social•12 days ago

There is nothing that the US produces that the UK can’t get from Europe, or at least a similar replacement.

You need to screw us as hard as possible.

We are not your friend and you need to act like we are dead.

The idea of America is gone.

Partners have to share good faith and trust. It’s basic, and key. Sometimes relationships are irretrievably undermined by unacceptable behaviours. Sad, but true. One red flag is one red flag too many.

He's a bully because he has money but in reality he's a pussy go figure .

ruairi.bsky.social•12 days ago

Most bullies are

sue-st.bsky.social•11 days ago

Great idea for us to avoid US products but has anyone produced a handy checklist of American products commonly sold here, for reference? Some companies may be obvious but it’s often hard to tell these days, making boycotting the right things a challenge 🤔.

jmspikeguy.bsky.social•12 days ago

The UK just needs to sit back and watch. Friendly to all, ally if none. We can extract opportunities from the emerging trade war at a time of our choosing and convenience

dsimonot.bsky.social•12 days ago

Like a parasite.

49thparallelstrong.bsky.social•11 days ago

Totally agree, as a Canadian living in the UK, I have already stopped buying any American products, starting with Bourbon and wine. Canadians have stopped travelling to the states, Florida has noticed a drop in traffic over spring break, and Las Vegas has noticed a massive drop in Canadian visitors

srod2001.bsky.social•11 days ago

And please cancel the invitation to Buckingham Palace. As an American watching him wreck my country, he needs to be taught some lessons. He needs to be shunned from the social circle he wants the most - royalty.
