But I *did* buy Joy Villa’s album today. The girl that wore the Make America Great Again Trump dress to the Grammys. Brave girl needs our support.

I suspect Sears will stay alive through their Catalog Sales for awhile.
***************
Catalogs died years ago ,, their internet operations are nothing to base hope on ...

They were going under long BEFORE this decision.

Now, they've assured themselves of sinking even SOONER, rather than later.

Good riddance to INEPT marketers and retailers.

Management by Press Release. It seems like they are playing to the news media but it will backfire because the news media is not interested in the well-being of Sears beyond the ability of Sears to buy commercials. I guess since Sears isn’t buying ads then they can be sacrificed for the politics of the people who control the media.

I didn’t know there was a Trump home line including furniture, etc. Sears and Kmarts are few and far between and they usually don’t smell very good either. I’d stop shopping there but I already don’t shop there. So many of these companies and celebrities overestimate their importance.

The few times in the last few years where I went to Sears on a last ditch chance of finding something that I couldn’t somewhere else (they didn’t have it either), I saw 10 checkout positions with only one open.

Sears performance over the past years shows how far they have lost the the folks in rural areas, lower middle class whites, etc. Who were the mainstay of Sears since its inception.

Many felt the loss of the Sears catalog business when they did their business in the outhouse. They have been drifting away for years and Sears floundered financially.

Unfortunately for Sears, those are the same folks who voted for Trump.

I hope the people that cave to these Leftists constant feined outrage are absolutely financially destroyed.

we used it for butt wiping in the outhouse

When they went from news print paper to the slick magazine style they were on the way out.

When I was a kid every outhouse in my neighborhood had the phonebook sized catalog laying on a seat ready to rip a page out to read then wipe.
