Trump ended the war. He then granted the Thai and Cambodian peoples their Second Amendment rights, and that’s what we’re currently seeing.
Another war Trump claims he ended where fighting continues.

It’s great news because we eat Thanksgiving turkey *all the time*.

(Shit prices are down due to oversupply, so there’s plenty of *that* to eat.)
Bessent on grocery prices being up: "Beef is one component. Thanksgiving turkey was down 16%"

(Note the shit-eating grin on Bessent's face as he says this)

Because some are asking... "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a carve out for ambassadors, tribal nations outside of US jurisdiction and invading armies. It decidedly does not apply to children of foreign-born parents (4/3)

The entire debate over birthright citizenship is anti-constitutional because the purpose, intent, and text of the 14th Amendment were designed to foreclose any argument about who counts as an American citizen.

When a 100 year old legacy media company that’s generated countless dollars in entertainment and human employment all over the world is valued only marginally more than a failed software product almost nobody even knows exists…

I don’t know the solution. But the money is in the wrong places.

Republicans studiously avoiding thinking about what might happen because Donald pardoned a bunch of violent recidivists and set them loose.
Sen. Jim Banks on the DC shooting that happened after Trump deployed the National Guard and was allegedly perpetrated by a suspect Trump granted asylum to earlier this year: "The blame falls at Joe Biden's feet for what he allowed to happen"

Credit where credit is due, it’s very funny that Lane gave us a specific day that all of this mess would be resolved and then when that day got here he just ghosted all of sports media and the entire internet

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are!

WalMart is acutely aware of what its customers can afford to pay. Slashing the cost of the Thanksgiving package is a canary in the coal mine for the economy. They could have downscaled to keep the price the same but they chose to cut $10, because that was a bigger draw.

Slavery in the Americas did not emerge wholly formed in all its horrors, but rather developed - in the worst possible ways - out of traditions and markets long pre-dating colonialism.

But this isn't exculpatory for American slavery.

So yeah, sometimes when people bring up pre-modern traditions of slavery, including in Africa, and the role of Africans in the Atlantic slave trade, its clear where they are going politically and its more useful to shut that shit down.

I don’t see the video of a crowned Donald dumping shit on a crowd from a plane as a distraction from what Donald is doing, I see it as a double red underline to emphasize what Donald is doing, and I wonder about those folks who don’t think they live in the same country that we do.
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Steve Bannon is a troll. This talk of a third term is projecting a false future with Trump in it to make him seem like less of a lame duck.
