MSN ^ | 1/29/2025 | J.D. Wolf

Big Lots, a prominent discount retailer, is facing significant struggles as nearly 500 of its store leases across 47 states are listed for sale, raising the likelihood of closures, according to 9 News. This announcement comes amid the company's turbulent financial saga, which began with a bankruptcy filing last year and culminated in its acquisition by Gordon Brothers Retail Partners.

thousands of drivers will get in car wrecks under Trump.

hundreds of school kids will flunk algebra under Trump.

infestations of malaria bearing mosquitoes will continue under Trump.

The Saharan desert will lack water under Trump.

Jackwagon news activists will continue to pump out fallacious headlines under Trump.

tiresome. predictable. and of nil effect on anyone capable of thinking critically.

Under Trump.....................these people are despicable.....In Big Lots case it most likely was really poor management that did them in, not the economy...............

Are they just going to change EVERYTHING from

“Due to Global Warming...” to “...”Under Trump” now?

Is that the marching orders?

What chickens? The Trump administration caused about 50,000,000 egg laying hens to be slaughtered last year!

Don't you mean the Biden Administration or did you forget the /s?

This has been occurring before Trump took office. Big Lots announced closures, I believe, back in December or earlier.

>>>While some stores may be saved through a transfer to Variety Wholesalers Inc., hundreds of others are at risk of shutting their doors permanently, leaving thousands of jobs and communities in limbo. This wave of closures raises pressing questions about the state of the economy under Donald Trump’s leadership.<<<

Never mind four years of overt "Build Back Better" desolation and destruction, it's the 10th day of Trumpmas! This is what desperation looks like.

Aside from that, it's more "the weird is the tell" in the odd Purim allusion department:

"Trump"
Big... lots
500 stores

Donald "Mordecai" Trump destroys 500 Big Lots!

Hang 'em, and hang 'em again, just to be sure:

Esther 9

4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

AHAS-Я-US asks, "What have they done out there that I don't know about? So, what was your question?"

“Didn’t this already happen under Biden? I know the one near me closed.”

No, it didn’t happen ‘under Biden’. It happened despite Biden being president, due to the GOP tricking their management into over-stuffing inventory.

(well, that’s what the media will say)

So Big Lots is having financial difficulties, like so many others have under Biden. And they might have to close, like so many others have under Biden.

Run a business responsibly, vote for the right candidates, and have a thriving business. At least IMO.

I have it from a good authority at MSNBC that Blockbuster will go out of business under Trump. Oh the humanity!

Excellent analogy.

Indeed they did raise prices. I used to go there for discounts on paper products, cleaning etc. and about 18 months ago I noticed their prices were the same as Publix, etc. so why bother.

Big lots increased prices because of costs. Walmart does the same. I shopped big lots instead of Walmart because they have cashiers and better coupons.

Bull shit. Their problems manifested themselves under the Biden administration. To blame Trump for store closings 9 days into his administration simply shows how biased the MSM is against Trump. Anyone with one neuron still firing would not put their name to such crap.

Since Esther was a Jew, any children they had would be Jews as well, so the lineage of Persian royalty after them were all Jewish!................
