Let me put this more productively: there was considerable public fury toward previous Republicans for lies, crimes, misbegotten wars, etc. But it ran up against the *enormous, extremely powerful* forces defending elite impunity. And the latter forces won, decisively. It was barely a fight.

JD Vance repeatedly lied, calling legal immigrants "illegal" during the campaign. He did this, because he knew that voters would balk at a plan to deport legal immigrants.

Polls repeatedly show most Americans support robust legal immigration. So Trump et all lied.

This one’s easy! 3lbs butternut squash, 2 lbs apples, 3-5 shallots. Cube or roughly chop. Toss in oil, salt, pepper. Spread on sheet pans. Roast to brown. Deglaze with broth. Blend it in batches with a can of coconut milk, more broth, curry, maple syrup. Fool with the spices until you like it.

Also enjoyed same child informing my sister (his grandmother) that it’s okay for him to run around the house with a sharp object because “I’m four now, and I’m RESPONSIBLE!”

I was at the ER the night before Thanksgiving/early hours of Thanksgiving last year with a family member, and we overheard two doctors call that block of time "The Night of the Mandolines" due to the sheer number of sharps injuries during meal prep.

2/ nor can we forget Thomas Fugate, the 22 year old Trump campaign worked appointed as the lead counter terrorism coordinator at DHS.
