I think often of the time a bunch of murder victims’ families showed Trump treasured photos of their loved ones and he signed them
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

JFC, people. They KNOW. It has been turned into domination and a takeover.
For them the holiday is now a celebration of all conquered, football, and a recognition of how much the person/family has.
Opening it to others is no longer even a thought.

Homeland Security doesn’t grasp the fact that the first Thanksgiving was about making “room at the table” for European “invaders.”

🥁DOG SHOW!
We went to a dog show in Cape May once. I forgot all the work in grooming and just kept asking to pet the cute doggos. (I pet a few!)
-Then at one point I was on the floor covered by a dozen excited loving pugs. I was in heaven and it was a life moment.

I **MISSED** Darlene Love singing “Christmas” each year on Letterman. That was Christmas to me.
Seeing her do it in the parade is wonderful. Now the holiday season can begin.

I miss the hockey players on the float.
It’s been a few years, but I still miss them, damnit.
I’d also be happy with a Gritty or Buoy balloon for next year’s Macy’s Parade.
