Our Glorious Leader is irrationally proud of this place that looks like the Tulsa Hyatt Regency
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.
Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

“Kill them all” or “fucking kill them all” is oftentimes a depressingly accurate way to summarize the actions and ambitions of Trump’s second presidency thus far.
“violent fantasy became an obsession, according to former Trump administration officials…“Fucking kill them all,” Trump would say. “An eye for an eye.” Other times he’d snap at his staff: “You just got to kill these people…Other countries do it all the time.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You and me both. And now folks are treating Bush Jr. like a nice old paintin' grandpa who everybody misses; forgetting the whole "lies to take us into an unnecessary war," literal torture at our Cuba concentration camp, letting the Ninth Ward in NOLA drown, mass surveillance and more.
It's cute, reading all these anguished cries: "when this is all over, these guys need to go to jail!" I remember saying that during Bush I crimes, and during Bush II crimes, and during Trump I crimes.
Guess how many of those guys went to jail.

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

The true measure of an introvert isn’t whether they can be “on” for all of Thanksgiving and charmingly hold up their end of conversations with 20 people for several hours (many of us can!!), it’s whether they spend all of the Friday afterward recovering as if from running a triathlon
