Getting my M.Div in Food Science, thesis on the "Transubstantiation of Mountain Dew and Higher Orders of Caffeine Chain of Being." Will cop to knowing cop stuff. Better to be remembered as a sharp lover of sandwiches than a slick merchant of hate.

Fucking infantilizing regime.
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.

This, and the CIA statement, it's responding to, really ought to be summed in some verses tacked to Burroughs' Thanksgiving Prayer.

No one, individual or state, is going to trust a country that so quickly abandoned principles for in the moment performative optics for a party political base.
The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.

In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?

Turkey anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament sprains are real, and in the US veterinary health system, access to good turkey physical therapy is out of reach for most turkeys, their owners and the impressarios in Turkey Trot racing circuits.
Google autocompletes "turkey leg internal" as "turkey leg internal medicine" before "turkey leg internal temperature"

Almighty Nothing,

Thank you for this bounty of whatever our economic overlords have seen fit to place upon our table or center console or whatever today. We are grateful that each mouthful has brought shareholder value to someone, and look forward to shitting it into the void.

Eat arbys, amen.

Just realized I sort of anticipated a story beat, not quite an arc, in Peacekeeper Season 2 with this.
I wonder how long, and how much it would cost, to string a LinkedIn Profile Strategist along helping me with my The Equalizer profile. Since there's not real alt newsweekly or Soldier of Fortune magazine classified to speak of, I figure I should migrate. But should I like proactively post 1/

The coolest thing that could happen this weekend would be learning James Comey was in fact really looking forward to receiving his copy of the 13th Age Kickstarter this weekend. Probably had a household dispute whether "his game" or dinner had rights to the nice table tomorrow.

To be clear Lizza’s story is that Nuzzi sat on important matters of national significance for personal benefit and he’s sat on these details until he could personally benefit.

All of DC media needs to be thrown into the sea. Anyone who defends these people is a goddamn clown.
