Most of the T-shirts were made by Old Glory, a Connecticut-based company that makes T-shirts for music and entertainment events, but there were also versions on offer from City Shirts, and Hanes Brands Inc. HBI, +0.61% the company that is known for its plain underwear and other basic clothing.

[workinclasszero]

41. Same here except I can't grow anything

Gonna have to get me one of those shirts tho!

[Achilleaze]

5. They could always shop in Mexico or Canada

Oh wait, I forgot Dirty Donny* is afraid of the Great White North, too. KGOpee republicans would never cross their republican family values role model, and their deceitful republican "god-emperor'

[groundloop]

29. I'm looking at them right now.... looks like most sizes are sold out.

In fact.... I was just on there to buy two of them and the size I wanted sold out between when I checked availability and when I added it to my cart.

[podex101]

11. Aren't Trump supporters avid Walmart shoppers?

I see the most peculiar people at walmart wearing support shirts for tRump.
People from the deep south wearing MAGA hats and shirts, pushing carts full of sodas and sweets, and chips, etc. The basic four food groups for the typical tRump supporter; Fat, Sugar, and Salt, and cheap (I mean really cheap) beer.

[McCamy Taylor]

15. They still have Dollar General.

[rockfordfile]

22. mass murdering types

[vercetti2021]

13. Still got eBay

You know if they know how to work a computer that is

[radical noodle]

16. In Trumpian areas

Walmart is about the only choice for shopping. I will watch this one with amusement since I don't like Walmart anyway.

[Initech]

17. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

This is too damn good, Walmart is usually their go to.

[Randomthought]

27. Me too

LOL was my first reaction.

[pdxflyboy]

18. I only use Walmarts during road trips.

I go in there to pee, and that's it.

[ffr]

24. That's awesome!

[3catwoman3]

49. Very appropriate.

There is nothing else I would go in there for, and I'd prefer not to even for that unless I was too far from home.

Haven't been in a Walmart for about 20 years, and the last time was only because I had to exchange something my mother had sent our sons as a gift.

[janx]

20. Fox News is ON IT!

"...a torrent of outrage..."

http://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/2018/07/03/walmart-boycott-campaign-launches-after-outcry-over-impeach-45-clothing.html

[Initech]

31. Wow, talk about hyperbole!

I think this is appropriate:

[janx]

37. The comments are even funnier. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

21. Guess I'll have to buy something from Wally World.

[ffr]

23. I'm going to have to visit a WalMart to see if it's empty.

[janx]

28. It should be especially empty today,

what with it being the day before the Fourth of July and all...

[Shipwack]

50. As a WalMart Employee, I assure you it's the exact opposite... nt

[elmac]

25. boycotts never work in this country

mainly because of the diverse population. Never been a fan of Walmart the company but do support its workers and their rights. As far as the fascists hurt feelings, I may fly that shirt on the flagpole instead of the USSR flag on the 4th.

[Gothmog]

26. I may need to end my boycott of walmart and buy one of these shirts

[Haggis for Breakfast]

53. I was just thinking

Maybe I should buy a thousand or so of these and them donate them to the children in the detention camps, but that would probably backfire. But wouldn't it be great if ALL of these children wore those shirts on the same day !

[thewhollytoast]

30. Get'em while their hot!

This is still available on Wally World's site. But, through a sub-vendor. I'm sure it will be gone soon. "Oh my, we can't upset the Trumplings!"

This is what twitter-ocracy looks like.

Toast

[KPN]

32. The horns of a dilemma! Do I abandon my 10-15 year personal boycott of WalMart as an

enemy of the working class and a national economic structure that makes sense and works for for people? Or do I just let WalMart cave to deplorables?

This is a tough one. Well, not that much -- fuck WalMart.

[Croney]

33. They're selling out! The 2XL was still available a minute ago.

A little too big for me.

[groundloop]

34. Here's a different style that's still available

The fancier ones were no longer available in my size so I got a couple of these:

[Croney]

35. You're right!

[paleotn]

36. So where are the maroons going to shop?

Target isn't known for its camo gear.

[Initech]

38. What do they do anymore?

They can't watch or attend NFL games anymore. Can't ride their Harley Davidson bikes. Can't go to bars or restaurants that aren't playing Fox News. Can't go to Target or Costco, and now Walmart. Can't buy anything or go anywhere that doesn't support the Trump train 100%. So I guess that leaves them... church and Ted Nugent concerts?

And we're the snowflakes again?

[paleotn]

46. Sounds good to me...

I don't go to church or Ted Nugent concerts.

[judesedit]

40. I pretty much gave up Walmart a while ago but I just bought 2 great tshirts from Old Glory.

Thanks for letting me know. Check out the rest of the shirts. They have some good ones

[truthisfreedom]

42. No problem! I'm totally down with boycotting Walmart.

They have nothing I want, including that stupid Russian t-shirt.

[Bengus81]

43. LOL....Trump knuckle draggers CONSTANTLY bitch about freedom of speech.....

As they think it pertains to EVERY walk of life,but when Wally World exercises THEIR right to free speech and a FREE market place they throw a boycott.

Eh...just the usual HYPOCRITES...............

[riversedge]

45. This t-shirt is fashioned like a babies undershirt...

Boycott Walmart? ‘Impeach 45’ Apparel Is Angering Trump Supporters


https://hillreporter.com/boycott-walmart-impeach-45-apparel-is-angering-trump-supporters-3335/amp

Walmart has come under fire for selling a line of clothing that openly demands the impeachment of Donald Trump. The clothing, which featured the term “Impeach 45” in bold lettering, has since been removed from the companies website but #MAGA outrage on Twitter is alive and well.

Photo Credit: Walmart.com




The term #boycottWalmart started appearing on Twitter soon after the clothing line was revealed. Donald Trump’s supporters say its unpatriotic and have promised to swear off Walmart for good.

While Twitter users were flipping out over the sale, the company also sells “Make America Great Again” apparel and items that clearly state, “Donald Trump Speaks For Me.” The mixture of items seems to show a lack of partisan politics from the retailer.

Much of the outrage was tweeted out by Twitter users with “Deplorable” in their user name.

[paleotn]

47. They're so fragile.....

It's free enterprise. Wally World will sell anything that turns a profit. I thought they were all about that?

[Hortensis]

54. Anything that'll turn a profit? I had to explain to my DIL

(sometimes too nice to understand this world) that the Gadsden flag design had to be considered aggressively racist when we saw it on a t-shirt in the boy's section of a major department store chain. She's not fond of snakes but my grandson loves nature and the shirt was in the colors she needed. I'd name the guilty store but I'm no longer sure. In any case, their school district in a metro Atlanta community is as diverse as most could want and I suspect it wouldn't have gone over any better than an impeach-Trump baby T would.

[marble falls]

48. I hope they sell a billion t-shirts but goes broke selling them.

[dameatball]

52. What is really sad is now the pork rinds will all go out of date.
