Just to do my little part to thumb my nose at the republicans, teabaggers and Trump worshippers,...

...next Wednesday when I get my Social Security check, I'm going out to buy three pairs of Nike sneakers or shoes, one each for my son, my wife and me. If they made sneakers for cats I'd be getting three pairs for them, too. Suck it, Republicans!

RESIST!

I've got a "company" shirt that I wore for an event this past weekend. On the left sleeve is the Nike logo.
I asked bunches of people if I was expected to "cut it off or burn it" - they supported my wearing it proudly - 100%!!!!!

(this is NOT a group that you would expect to be "anti-IQ45" - maybe even the opposite!)

It is happening - GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!

seriously, that may eat up your whole check! They're expensive! I have a pair and will wear them until only the shoelaces are left. That way i feel i will get my money's worth.

...it may be t-shirts. They're not up for shoes presently. I'll be buying them at Dick's Sporting goods, who earned my business when they destroyed all of their assault style weapons.

I believe in putting my money where my mouth is!

RESIST!
