Like many of you in Trump and Q groups, I try to interact across different platforms to get a feel for what the political atmosphere is and how We the People are feeling.
Perhaps all the added work to the Christmas season makes me a little testy, but I'm not going to sit back any longer while the entitled think they can put other generations down!
Alright, that's IT! Who else is Sick and Tired of this kind of a demonstration of poor character and arrogance? Complete lack of Respect! Comes from the top down and a Globalist, Progressive Curriculum!
I get some pertinent news on Voat. I realize people on there are not saints, I don't expect them to be. I will interact with you no matter how much we disagree even tolerate your foul language, but I don't cotton to belittling and name calling! I DO expect Respect for generations who have gone before us!
I get this garbage after chiming in where someone was talking about Walmart. I reminded people the Clintons were integral in furthering the Walmart agenda. I don't always shop there, but I have at times, so made sure I didn't imply otherwise. I get this punk response. . .that I wasn't looking for. He should have kept his smart aleck remarks to himself!
"It's not hard to never shop at Walmart, unless you are a retarded f****** Boomer."
Now I'm used to the language. . .Jesus interacted with those who weren't prim and proper as His heart is that None perish. . .so just how it is. But I Don't like the arrogance and disrespect!
Here was my answer. Let me know what else I should have included.
**Not a Boomer, but I know a lot of good people who are.
I work 7 days a week like many others. If I don't have time to go across town, I will use them.
Especially if they're the only store that hasn't run out of distilled water. That's right. . .I take the chance of them poisoning me! My call, no one else's!
It's a Free Country still, so I go where I want When I want without the millennials who think they Know All telling Me what to do! (Not saying all Millennials are bad, I know many who have their head screwed on straight and don't constantly put others down just to make themselves feel better). There's a cure for that. . .start respecting yourself more then you will have the capacity to value others!
I purchase most items from other retailers, but despise hypocrisy so didn't want to pretend I too haven't shopped there.
My daughter has friends in HS who work there. A job is a job! I applaud All who seek employment rather sitting in mommy and daddy's basement as I've seen some do Gaming and Shooting off their mouths all day while being arrogant and condescending to others!
You know, the Other kind of Entitled on the Other side of the spectrum from the Elitists!
I believe those Boomers can spot them a mile away Every Time!
The name they have for them rhymes with Sunk!
Then because I'm a mom, I had to have another word. . .so I did, as MOM stands for "My Opinion Matters" more than your's until you are My Age!
**Also, get a clue. . .you could end up incapacitated, your brain functioning set back or as you like to say. . .retarded.
You better pray someone loves you enough to care for you.
You might end up having a child whose brain functioning is regressed, or they could have developmental challenges. . .you might think it's no big deal now, but when it's Your Child, you see it as horrible that others are so cruel.
And no, I don't have a child who has been labeled mentally challenged, but I know those who do. You shouldn't be so cavalier with your language.
It doesn't make you appear as superior as you Think it does! Quite the opposite. It exposes your lack of character.
Just because God made you fully functioning. . .doesn't mean things couldn't change.
You should try to put yourself in other's shoes. God's Kingdom will come and you will have to give an answer for how you treated others.
Now if I were his parent I would have told him I have no more time for his disrespectful, misplaced arrogant remarks.
As I won't be "gaming" today, I have to work a job. And when I go to put all my orders in at the post office, if I feel like bulking up my distilled water supply from Walmart. . .I WILL!
So the kid writes this back to me, (at least he's a sharp one who does his homework).
You sounds crazy, but I was just looking into Wal Mart and learned that Sam Walton started and ran the chain from none other than...Little Rock Arkansas.
Also found this:
Walton joined the military in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps, supervising security at aircraft plants and prisoner of war camps.
My response,
I already mentioned the Clintons to someone else earlier.
Yes, you are correct. Guess what the platform you are using was built upon?
That's right, we're in Satan's world. We know satan with his AI and orchestrators like Schmidt, Brin, Page, Dorsey and the Zuck all run us about with their Social Engineering.
Yet we Choose to engage. Why? Because we can't just let them Win. We all go silent. . .where is the light? We live in satan's domain, but we are here to expose their corruption and Fake sense of virtue signaling while attempting to control us all. Do we just throw our hands up and say "oh well, in defeat, " or do we Choose to deal, engage, expose?
Do I Really soundz crazy now?
You sound like someone who's misplaced attitude isn't put in check enough.
You need to come down off of your self built Perch and realize your hide's in the same jeopardy as everyone else's no matter Where you shop!
Good find on the Army Intel Corp. and the Prisoner of War Camps' connection.
You don't suppose he made sure with his whole "intel" background that he built the foundation with great access to the underworld do you?
What Prime Real Estate for the globalist to set up their trade deals to benefit China and other foreign interests with NAFTA that all the progressives have been up in arms about when Trump won't tolerate the unfair treatment of his own people! Boy did that set up a Great foundation for China and all the Clinton Cohorts!

You're right, he purchased his first Ben Franklin in none other than Newport, Arkansas. He eventually owned them across Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas.
The first Walmart opened in Rogers, Arkansas.
He did start out trying to use American Made products.
He died in Little Rock.
Initially his second hand plane and learning to fly aided him in acquiring goods.
BTW I'm sure it's likely a typo, but in case you're not aware. ..you want to use the plural verb for "you sound crazy." Not you sounds crazy. Since your subject is singular.
You seem pretty sharp so likely already know.
Now I make typos and inadvertent errors in my writing constantly because time is short, I have to work and if I fretted non stop about how many errors I made, then I would be rendered paralyzed in getting any info out. So not judging, you are sure to find plenty of errors in my writing and perhaps that's all it was and you already understood subject, verb agreement.
You should keep poking around into Walmart. Fascinating subject. Would be glad to hear your findings!
This is for my steemit readers,
More fascinating tidbits about Sam Walton
We will start with the first piece of info that was aptly pointed out by my commenter,
Walton joined the military in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corps, supervising security at aircraft plants and prisoner of war camps.
In this position he served at Fort Douglas in Salt Lake City, Utah. He eventually reached the rank of captain.
Walton spent approximately 18 months with J. C. Penney
he worked at a DuPont munitions plant near Tulsa, Oklahoma
Walton was an Eagle Scout
served as an Army captain during World War II, was an avid hunter and outdoorsman, and lived humbly.
He had a hard-charging, demanding style,
often starting work at 4:30 a.m.
Bought a second hand plane and he and his son learned to fly so they could locate goods for his stores
More in sources below.
These are some interesting Facts from The Balance,
Quick Facts
Walton opened his first store, a Ben Franklin franchise, in Newport, Arkansas, on September 1, 1945, after his wife insisted she would not live in a town of more than 10,000 people. In less than two decades, he owned 15 of the franchised stores.
Even after becoming a billionaire, Walton drove a pickup truck and wore clothes from his own discount store, Walmart.
In 1984, Walton bet his store managers they could not earn a pretax margin larger than 8 percent. He said if he lost, he would dress in a grass hula skirt and floral shirt. They did. He lost. He did.

This is also interesting, not all are aware that Hillary Clinton sat on the Board of Walmart for 6 years.
Why? According to various sources which I Will cite,
In 1986, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was under pressure to appoint a woman to the company’s 15-member -all male- board of directors. So, Mr. Walton asked a young lawyer, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who just happened to be married to the governor of Arkansas at the time, where Wal-Mart is based, to be the sole female member of the board.
During six years (1986 -1992) as a member of the Wal-Mart board of directors, Hillary Clinton remained silent as the world’s largest retailer waged a major campaign against the labor unions seeking to represent store workers.
John Tate who was one of Clinton’s fellow board members, was leading Wal-Mart’s anti-union efforts. Tate was also Wal-Mart’s executive vice president and served on the board with Clinton for four of her six years. Tate favorite phrase was, as he admitted himself, “Labor unions are nothing but blood-sucking parasites living off the productive labor of people who work for a living.”
You be the judge.
http://www.progressivepress.net/hillary-clinton-was-a-wal-mart-director-for-6-years/
Obama attacked Clinton’s one-time membership on the board of directors of the world’s largest retailer, saying, “While I was watching those folks see their jobs shift overseas, you were a corporate lawyer sitting on the board at Wal-Mart.”
It’s true that Clinton sat on the Wal-Mart board for six years while her husband was governor of Arkansas, where the chain has its corporate headquarters. She was paid about $18,000 a year for doing it. At the time, she worked at the Rose Law Firm, which had represented Wal-Mart in various matters.
But according to accounts from other board members, Clinton was a thorn in the side of the company’s founder, Sam Walton, on the matter of promoting women, few of whom were in the ranks of managers or executives at the time. She also strongly advocated for more environmentally sound corporate practices. She made limited progress in both areas. In 2005 she returned a $5,000 contribution from Wal-Mart, citing “serious differences” with its “current” practices.
This is a very interesting read back in 2016 of the Washington Times,
Alice Walton, the daughter of Sam Walton, the founder of the chain of big box stores, gave Mrs. Clinton’s Democratic National Committee Victory Fund $353,000 in December, a contribution just made public last month. Before that she contributed $25,000 to the Ready for Hillary political action committee.
Mrs. Clinton gave critics a new target last week when her campaign treasurer traveled to Mexico to host a campaign fundraiser with some of Walmart’s top brass.
Progressive websites like the Daily Kos, have been questioning Mrs. Clinton’s Wal-Mart ties and her blatant refusal to admit she’s swayed in anyway by corporate donations.
“One of the greatest issues of the coming election for president of the United States and perhaps the most burning issue for progressives in this nation is the involvement of corporate money and how it corrupts the system,” the Daily Kos said in a January article titled “Hillary, Wal-Mart and the Revolving Door.”
Mother Jones, The Progressive Press, and the Huffington Post have all followed up with like articles, detailing Mrs. Clinton’s troubling ties to Wal-Mart.
Mr. Sanders hasn’t attacked Mrs. Clinton specifically, but has taken aim at Wal-Mart, blasting the company’s owners in a campaign speech in Keene, New Hampshire, earlier this month.
“Today Wal-Mart is the largest private sector employer in America. Yet many, many of their employees are forced to go on food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing that you pay for through your taxes because the Walton family refuses to pay their workers a living wage,” Mr. Sanders said.
Paired with Mr. Sanders‘ broader economic message, the attack is paying off in the Democratic primary. Mr. Sanders walloped Mrs. Clinton by double digits, winning most voter demographics including the coveted middle-class white worker.
Neither the company nor Mrs. Clinton’s campaign returned messages seeking comment.
Wal-Mart is based in Arkansas, where former President Clinton was governor for years. The Walton family and the Clintons ran in the same social circles.
According to multiple reports, it was Ms. Walton, the recent donor to Mrs. Clinton’s presidential bid, who lobbied her father to give Mrs. Clinton a seat on Walmart’s board of directors. It was while Mrs. Clinton was serving as first lady of Arkansas and was a lawyer at the Rose Law Firm. Mrs. Clinton held the director position from 1986 to 1992, earning $18,000 a year with a bonus of $1,500 for each quarterly board meeting she attended. During the time Mrs. Clinton amassed $100,000 in Wal-Mart stock.
In addition, the Walton Family Foundation has donated between $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, with their latest contribution recorded in the fourth quarter of last year. In return, Mr. Clinton has often praised the corporation and its activities.
Last year, the Clinton Foundation interviewed Sarah Thorn, senior director of Federal Government Relations at Wal-Mart, for a glowing feature of what the retailer is doing to empower young women, which is still posted on their website.
And last week Mrs. Clinton’s campaign treasurer, Jose Villarreal, attended a fundraiser discussion and dinner hosted by Ivan Zapien, Walmart’s vice president of corporate affairs in Mexico. Mr. Zapien, who previously served as the company’s top lobbyist in Washington, maxed out in personal contributions to Mrs. Clinton’s campaign last year.
Mr. Villarreal also has his own deep ties to Wal-Mart, having served on the company’s board from 1998 to 2006.
It was during his tenure, later detailed in a New York Times Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation, that Wal-Mart management suppressed an inquiry into whether there was a widespread campaign of the company of bribing Mexican elected officials to more quickly obtain store licenses in possible violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It is unclear whether Mr. Villarreal would have known about the scandal at the time.
After the story broke in 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Department of Justice started an investigation into the matter. Mr. Zapien was serving as Walmart’s top lobbyist at the time and convened a group of outside consultants to brainstorm how the retailer could blunt the federal investigation and minimize the public relations fallout.
Wal-Mart has yet to settle with the DOJ over the issue.
One month after the Times report, Mrs. Clinton, who was State Department secretary at the time, lobbied government officials in India to reform their foreign direct investment policies to benefit American retailers like Wal-Mart. Later that same year, she brought Wal-Mart executives on a trip to South Africa to increase their access to that country’s consumers.
Mrs. Clinton’s long-standing ties to the retail giant have caused her issues in the past — most notably in the 2008 presidential election when she was running against then then-Sen. Barack Obama, who criticized her for the connection.
“While I was working on those streets watching those folks see their jobs shift overseas, you were a corporate lawyer sitting on the board of Wal-Mart,” Mr. Obama said to Mrs. Clinton during a January 2008 debate.
A 2007 New York Times article found Mrs. Clinton failed to advance union causes during her time on the company’s board, and a 2008 ABC News review of videotapes from Wal-Mart meetings found that “Clinton remained silent as the world’s largest retailer waged a major campaign against labor unions seeking to represent store workers.”
Mr. Clinton defended Mrs. Clinton’s Wal-Mart seat, telling ABC News that they “lived in a state that had a very weak labor movement She knew there was no way to change that, not with it headquartered in Arkansas.”
In his various stump speeches, Mr. Sanders often uses Wal-Mart, and the Walton family, as a prime example of the billionaire class, those who have rigged the federal government to their own financial benefit, while offering little to nothing to the working class.
