It’s the day after Thanksgiving, a time when we’re all supposed to be grateful for things in life, so naturally, at a Houston Walmart, customers fought over a TV.

[su_center_ad]For those people who aren’t observing the Black Friday boycott, you kind of deserve this:

We’ll be posting more videos as they come in today. Be sure and send us any links.[su_csky_ad]

    I boycott Black Friday every year, because I just don’t like crowed. “Hell is other people,” after all.

    Plus, I have a computer.

    When you’ve created as much poverty as obama has people will riot over crumbs

    • Anomaly 100 November 28th, 2014 at 11:39 am

      Hey look, it’s the crazy guy again ^.

      Obama did not create Black Friday.

      Doesn’t explain why it’s happened every Black Friday since (in my memory) the Cabbage Patch Kid Kerfuffle of 1987.

      • Anomaly 100 November 28th, 2014 at 11:41 am

        Why didn’t President Obummer stop it back in 1987?

          • granpa.usthai November 28th, 2014 at 12:47 pm

            after the GREAT SCHMOOZER POTUS Reagan, Iran has been difficult for anyone to deal with. When you spoil a radical Islamic State by pumping in tons and tons of weapons to their fancy, they tend to become a bit spoiled. (kinda like the overly spoiled privilege class WHITE spoiled and OVERLY PAMPERED Republican children).
            Butt

            the one thing POTUS Obama has been best at is to ruffle their little WHITE feathers – no doubt the same will happen with Iran if they’re as immature as WHITE RACIST REPUBLICAN Teabaggers?

          as a special little bonus to red eyes holiday compound crew:

          Obama ran for and won POTUS in 2008 just so he could kick Romney’s butt in 2012 and cut in line at BBQ Houses without being held accountable!

        • StoneyCurtisll November 28th, 2014 at 1:25 pm

          Republicans filibustered his attempts..(Obama isnt the only one with a time machine)..:)

          • R.J. Carter November 28th, 2014 at 1:30 pm

            Psst! It’s the same time machine! When John McCain won the election in 2008, he commissioned it from the Iranians. Junior Illinois Senator Barack Obama was on the appropriations committee that controlled the spending, and on a trip to Iran to witness a demonstration, Obama stole the machine and used it to go back to 2007 so that he could win the election the following year. Then he had to commission it again, to ensure he would have it in 2013 so that his time in office would be the “official” timeline.

      Poverty increasing in rural America

      The changing face of poverty;

      Millions of Americans live in poverty, more families are suffering and hunger is seen growing.

      December 30, 2004: 1:14 PM
      EST
      By Octavio Blanco, CNN/Money staff writer

      According to the most recent Census Bureau statistics,
      nearly 36 million Americans lived in poverty in 2003, an increase of 1.3
      million from 2002. And since 2000, 4.4 million more people in this country are
      living in poverty. The Census Bureau defines poverty as an individual earning
      $9,393 or less and $14,680 or less for a family of three.

      And American families are faring worse than they have in
      years. Last year 7.6 million American families — or 10 percent of all families
      — lived in poverty, a big jump from 2000.

      Rapid Increase In Severe Poverty In The US Has Serious Implications For Public Health

      The latest Survey of Consumer Finances , showing that, adjusted for inflation,
      β€œfamilies are poorer now than they were in 2001.” The gains made in net worth
      between 2004 and 2007 have all been erased by collapsing stock and housing
      prices, the study finds.

      U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition service for month-by-month figures going back to January 2001. And they show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

      • GreatLakeSailor November 29th, 2014 at 3:19 pm

        While the Republicans have lead the Parade to Deregulation & Tax Cuts For The Rich (the whole Tinkle-Down Scam) and thus Economic Royalism, the complicity of the Right Wing Democrats should not go unmentioned. Democratic groups beholden to and created by the Corporations and the 1% such as Bill Clinton’s DLC, Third Way, “The ‘New’ Democrats and Blue Dogs have been eager enablers if not joyous cheerleaders.

        The Congressional Progressive Caucus have produced, year after year, the “Better Off Budget” and Right Wing Dems will not even give it a serious reading and debate when they have/had the power to do so.
