Trump knows his project is currently failing, he knows public opinion sentiment is against him — all of the polls have him underwater. He's seeing net negatives from Rasmussen
He's going to try to boost his numbers by 'hate the out-group' — attacking immigrants even more than he already has

Thanksgiving conclusions:
1) Changes to biscuit prep absolutely worth the additional hassle
2) should not have had the cookie after the pie
3) Baby Joe was robbed (iykyk) 😁
Hope everyone had a good one!

A decent-sized moth got into the house so that’s the cat’s thanksgiving entertainment sorted. And if he gets lucky, also a thanksgiving treat.

People in the U.S. need to be paying attention to what’s happening in the U.K., because it’s going hand in hand with what is happening in the U.S., the agitators at work on both sides of the pond are working hand in hand with each other, and both have similar goals of ethnic cleansing.

My cousins got to town at a reasonable hour (usually it’s like midnight) and decided they wanted to take the local fam to dinner, which to be clear was both lovely and thoughtful, but has completely discombobulated my evening plans and I managed to let my aloo matar paneer leak on my blanket.

I’ve talked before about how AI represents the inevitable outcome of techbros’ lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to and interacting with other human beings

The US cattle herd gets larger & smaller on a pretty predictable 10-15 year cycle.
When there are more cows, that pushes cattle prices down.
When there are fewer cows, that pushes cattle prices up.
The laws of cattle supply & demand are simple & finite, any 4H girl would have known
