A (former) reporter's work is never done. Before I go to dinner, had to report one last item from Gobblers Knob. The turkey reportedly "saw the light" and now it's gonna six more weeks of fascism. Sorry folks.

My Thanksgiving shut-up-and-do-it message to the Trumps and the enabling criminals who orbit them. To everyone else, happy stuffing!

"This guy," Trump says to Miller, "we gotta spin it so its the Democrats' fault!" Miler looks depressed and demented. "We can't now, but it can be Biden's fault." Trump's face lights up as he reaches out to grab him. "Millllllaaaaaarrrrrr!"

Here comes Trump with his usual overreaction, makes Hegseth's seem trivial by comparison. Punishing an entire country for the actions of a lone shooter.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce our fully compromised president.
This captures the Trump era perfectly: an American operative advising a Kremlin official on how to manipulate the U.S. president through simple flattery.
“Call him a man of peace.”
Our foreign policy isn’t diplomacy anymore, it’s ego management.
And America can’t survive another term of it.👇

You can see this happening day in and out. Every time Trump goes against Putin's wishes, something like this comes out to bring the errant traitor back into line. And like a spanked child, Trump crumbles and gets back with the Russian "destroy the west" program.

Shit. This is what Trump's been waiting for for so long now, directing ICE and its "helpers" to push citizens and immigrants hard o get this result. Now feds are sending 500 more national guardsmen (bit of an overreaction). I expect Tru,p will soon declare martial law, and suspend the elections.

These vdyagame warriors know nothing about the UCMJ. Hegseth is an idiot.

Help, help ... my cat has firmly planted her flag in my chest, and like any clueless colonist, refuses to leave. But I guess there are worse ways to go.

Trump's big "plan" to fix the healthcare crisis seems to center on cash for us to fight it out alone with out-of-control insurance companies, which will actually cause rates to skyrocket further. We need to eliminate them, not feed them. We need single payer Medicare for all, now.

I look forward to the day when all this shit is done, and I can stop being a curmudgeon.

So, it's telling that Epstein shares an embarrassing penile deformity with Trump, according to a recent book by their victims. Kinda sorta makes sense now, the reason they gravitated together, only to use their physical deformity to commit horrible crimes against their many victims.

When (not if) this national nightmare is finally over, how do we live on peacefully while knowing that some 49 percent of the country, who currently identify as MAGA Republicans, have silently slid back into relative obscurity, but are still among us, likely plotting their next attempt?

As I watched ep. 2 of Ken Burn's new documentary, The American Revolution, I noted even more than yesterday at how our American past echos today. Trump rules by impulse; he changes and then lies about it. Short-term thinking based on what he sees and hears. This led to battles lost in the AR.

I idly wondered just what Trump means when he says that we hate America. But I only hate the thought of the America that he and his posse have made this country. I think a whole lot of others feel the same.

Just watched ep. 1 of Ken Burns' American Revolution documentary. Excellent, with a not so surprising number of parallels to our nation under attack from within today.

Genealogy is such a touchy subject with a lot of people. It's intensely personal and they get easily offended if you make changes or additions (or deletions of bad data) to "MY ancestor's records."

Trump and friends trying to pull off a big socialism boondoggle by claiming "injury" for their own causing the insurrection. Do ya think maybe they simply see the government as a big monied teat that needs milking dry before they are ushered out of office?
