Now I remember why I'd decided to BOYCOTT HOME DEPOT.

Hubby wanted to go there the other day. I said there was some reason I'd decided months ago not to shop there anymore, but I couldn't remember why.

Trump just cited the Home Depot owner as a big supporter. Waved to him at the rally.

No need to go to Home Depot when you live in my area. There are several other better choices, including Lowe's.

It's closer to us than Lowe's is, so I'd kind of gotten lazy about avoiding it even though I knew the owner supported W years ago.

But supporting Trump is just unconscionable. Fie on you, Home Depot.

that limited people's ability to sue corporations for injuries. a friend of mine was paralyzed, and later died, when inventory fell on her from a high shelf in home depot. the bastards never even offered to pay her medical bills.
