Lily slept through dinner! But now we've had turkey, gravy, potatoes and we're heading into the Thanksgiving episodes of Cheers, WKRP (of course), and Bob Newhart

I am 82. We used to generally agree to disagree

But we also were not this far apart and violence was no part of language

I have seen this in my own wife, who within weeks of our first date had already earned the description of "long-suffering" companion. Ken and I both married saints.
Me to wife: so you see what I am saying is that maybe the sentence structure is not the main problem here
Wife: [watching tv]
Me: I mean I know I can be a bit of a diction pedant
Wife: [right eye twitches microscopically]

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Wonderful!
My husband drove me almost 3 1/2 hours one way to see my brother and his family, eat a meal, visit, and drive us back home. He’s a wonderful man, and yes I tell him often. 💖

My wife spent the day cooking *just for the two of us* so that the house would have the smell of roasting turkey and we could have a fabulous dinner while we watched the Cheers food fight by the fire. ❤️ @lynnmnichols.bsky.social

Thanks for this information.
I wonder if this man was going to be sent back to the Taliban. If so, I expect he was terrified.
He has a wife and five children in Bellingham, WA.
