There Aren’t Deals
– The Black Friday Truther
November 28, 2025 at 5:08 PM
from the Cato Institute regarding mass shootings:
Of those 298 shooters, 255 were native-born and 43 were foreign-born. The chance of being murdered in a mass shooting committed by a native-born American was about 1 in 10.5 million per year,

Remember - if you're financially in a position to do so, skip the #BlackFriday deals online from big companies and shop instead from small and local businesses.
The big guns don't need your money, but for small traders it can be what keeps them going into 2026, so support your community instead.

It's pretty clear to me that his "big haired" mother did a real number on him...his relationship with women is toxic

I think immigrants Make America Great.
I think most immigrants are not criminals.
I KNOW the president is a criminal.

Absolutely George...the oligarchs are obviously very worried about this most commercial time of the year.
If a phone still works fine, it’s not “device hoarding” to keep using it. It’s common sense.

never forget
While the right lose their goddamn minds about a lone wolf doing something horrendous in DC today, let’s not forget that last week in the White House they all gushed over a genocidal, journalist murdering tyrant whose country financed 9/11.

my question is: do even kids movies have to be copaganda?

Happy Thanksgiving...little bits of good news
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

good point
If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

and again...OMG
This is why a con man shouldn’t have been allowed to become President!

Somewhere I saw that this was Karoline's T-day present to her brother. She is just awful enough for this to be true.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Reminder of who the real threat was, and who the threat has never been.

Maybe today should be a day of atonement.

If one Afghan nationalist shooter means all Afghan nationalists are evil, wait until I tell you about white male shooters.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

There was a time when the United States looked down its nose at the countries in South America for being lawless banana republics. Who's the banana republic now, bitches?

yikes
Sure looks like Karoline Leavitt had her nephew's mother deported right before Thanksgiving as a favor to her brother.

This is why I refuse to donate or collaborate with this "charity". Work toward Food Sovereignty...relocalize our food system...help your neighbors outside the hunger industrial complex.
I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

A very good answer to the question. If they had put actual examples in their original ad, it would have been much better!
