For gawd sake, the man’s ill! And not just ill, but a danger to himself and others. Why is he being coddled by his enablers? Why is a convicted felon, rapist and murderer not in prison? Clearly, the US is beyond broken to allow this to continue. Maybe unredeemable.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Happy American Thanksgiving to my friends and family south of the border✌️🕊️🫶
Across the quiet fields,
the harvest collects
more than grain—
it gathers decisions,
silences that linger,
gestures granted or withheld.
At this Thanksgiving table,
remember that every
deed is a seed,
and tomorrow’s yield
emerges from
today’s cultivation.

“Needs additional work” is our Canadian, polite way of saying this agreement “needs a complete freakin’ redo.” Giving the aggressor everything he wants and securing financial gain for the US is not a peace plan. It’s a surrender plan and sets a dangerous precedent.
