Susan M Collins is a US Senator from Maine and the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston…No wonder she is always so concerned and extremely troubled about stuff, who wouldn’t be.
Or do we just have a surplus of Susan M Collinses (maybe Conllinsi)?

On the one hand Rubio has decimated the State Department and done generational damage to America’s diplomatic corps.
On the other hand, the Biden Administration changed the standard font.

Bookies didn't fully rate his chances, but plucky DJT pulls-off entirely expected win.
Though usually magnanimous, Trump will savor the victory and be contemptuous of the competition.
Putin, MBS, and Ming the Merciless left to wonder where it all went wrong.

Polymarket has odds of Trump winning inaugural FIFA Peace Prize (not fake award) at only 97%, so all still to play for.
Do not know who is capturing the other 3%, but knowing FIFA its probably split between Putin and MBS.
The tension and drama are just too much...its the beautiful game.

The Nobel Peace Prize - Participation Trophy
From Abraham Lincoln’s declaration in October 1863 for a national day of Thanksgiving.
In the midst of bloody civil war he called upon the country to acknowledge its sins and be thankful for its blessings with “one heart and one voice by the whole American people”.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

When he's done being president, looks like he might be a perfect fit for a revival of the Larry Bud Melman character.
Just needs to remember there is only one Calvert DeForest.

Not the most important point about this unhinged rant, but unsurprisingly the parenthetical point is wrong.
According to Oregon Department of Public Safety, total number of police at all levels in Oregon is 6,013 (as of Nov ‘24).
According to DoJ, “FBI has approximately 10,100 Special Agents”.

On this day in 1933, the NY Times reports a speech by Joseph Goebbels the day before in Geneva on nature of National Socialism and principles of relatively new Nazi government.
The Nazis had "wiped out the opposition" because they stood in the way of "re-generation", of making Germany great again.
