Lord, grant me the Christmas present the Romanians got in 1989.
Q: You said this suspect was flown in under the Biden admin. But was he granted asylum under your administration?
TRUMP: Uh, when it comes to asylum, when they're flown in, it's very hard to get them out no matter how you want to do it. But we're gonna be getting them all out now. *slams table*

In the long term this is what will kill what's left of America's miniscule credibility in MENA: US-backed ceasefires are when the Arab ceases and Israel continues to fire.
And this is not a Trump problem, but a bipartisan problem. This "ceasefire" was achieved by the previous president.

A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon took effect a year ago today.
Since then, Israel has violated the ceasefire nearly 10,000 times: 7,500 violations of Lebanese airspace and almost 2,500 ground violations, according to the UN.

It's a disgrace to American journalism that no American reporter has tried to bean one of our presidents with a shoe.

yeah Thanksgiving should be understood as a Civil War holiday more than anything about colonial America
This is my yearly reminder that
A) The Pilgrims never turned on the Wampanoags. The Puritans who did were a whole different group of people.
B) Thanksgiving became a holiday to celebrate whooping the Confederates.
Sometimes we can just enjoy traditions without guilt!

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

The Israeli government held an American child hostage for almost a year. He’s finally free, but too many are still separated from their families and continue to languish in “indefinite detention” with no charges. It’s outrageous.
