Hello, I'm here!

And pretty much hate everything going on in the world right now.

Follow me.
Wait a minute: Trump and Hegseth (Hagueseth) are murdering fishermen on dinghys 1000+ miles away by claiming they're bringing drugs into this country, yet he's going to PARDON this guy who was convicted of literally trafficking cocaine into the US, while IN the US?!

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

I made my brother collards for his very first time and he LOVED THEM. Took a great bowl for leftovers. So did MiL.

Makes me so happy 😊
This recipe is also CHEAP. Especially if you add cannellini beans for cheap protein.
My famous V8 Collards recipe, shared for #Thanksgiving.

YOU STILL HAVE TIME! Easy and so freaking good (and healthy). The @beyondmeatofficial.bsky.social hot Italian sausage elevates it next-level. (If you choose this way, fry them in EVOO, remove and do everything afterward in that pan/oil.)

No no no no no no no. NO.

Aside from the surprise in the tray - Pecans and BLACK OLIVES in potato salad?? Pecans and called black olives together, in any way, on our Earth?

National Guard is not law enforcement.

In fact, they're not even allowed to be.
REPORTER: There are people upset with the president, believing the National Guard members shouldn't have been there

PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

It is hard to believe people SO fundamentally unserious are going to kill millions of us over the next decade and has set back disease research by at least a generation that we will never get back.

THIS. I know many are judgemental about gossip, but what has happened here w/ Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza can be attributed to where we are now.

They could have chosen to stop it, but no. Ambition, obsession, personal revenge and book deals were more important to them.

And now we have DT & RFK.
People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

Kash Patel never learns and needs to stay off social media and do his job. Or at least try to.

So embarrassing.
As you know two National Guardsmen were sadly shot in DC and are in critical condition. Kash Patel, a moron, gets up and speaks in the presser, vowing to seek and prosecute those responsible. But the lone gunman was shot. He's in custody. There are no other suspects. What a rube.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

My brothers and I, who were raised on Star Wars, are having a deep-dive discussion via text about this list.

IMHO, 4-8 need to be shuffled, but I'm not sure just how yet.

This may take a few days, but we will weigh in. #starwars

Breaking: Judge just dismissed prosecutions of James Comey and Letitia James on grounds that Trump stooge prosecutor was unlawfully appointed.

This has relevance for the whole debate over Trump giving "illegal orders." Very possible that Trump's commands for prosecutions are unlawful ones.
What about Trump's corrupt orders to DOJ to prosecute his enemies? Here it's complex, but there are scenarios in which these orders could be illegal. His lackeys might be breaking the law in carrying them out.

You know, I don't even remember who Biden's Sec of Treasury was - because he/she WASN'T ON TV LYING TO PEOPLE EVERY WEEKEND.
WELKER: Inflation has gone up. It's at 3% now up from 2% in April when the tariffs were imposed--

BESSENT: No, no no no. So, inflation hasn't gone up. The one thing we're not gonna do is do what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know how they feel
