“We are sorry that the product did not meet your expectations.”

Yes because you sent me the wrong size you muppets.
Now let’s see if they process the return, credit me for the cost, or maybe send me the correct product.

They won’t be happy until the country is nothing but poor dumb white Christian goobers.
“It’s insane to have them rip our family apart.” Federal agents are arresting the foreign spouses of Americans during interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices. The couples and their lawyers said they had followed the required steps to secure permanent residency.

Interesting timing to do this on the eve of Thanksgiving just before a four day national holiday. As if we’re not going to remember this on Monday?

One of my best travel tales. Sitting in the pointy end of a plane going USA to Asia. Delayed. Mechanics arrive and go into the cockpit. More mechanics arrive. I guessed we’re probably not going anywhere on this bird today. While still onboard I got out my mobile phone, called the FFP hotline. 1/3

Office of the First Lady? What? Did the White House and the President’s teams run out of pixels for their social media, so they had to pinch some from Melania’s office in the East Wing?

Oh, wait.
Joint statement after the discussions of the US peace proposal in Geneva:

Both sides agreed the consultations were highly productive. The discussions showed meaningful progress toward aligning positions and identifying clear next steps.

Dear @nytimes.com Subscribers Services. Please tell me why it takes seven actions to log into my account to read an article. Even with saved passwords.
Facebook can do it in one touch. WaPo could do it in three or four.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Great points. Well presented.
Mockler: I just think that Marjorie Taylor Greene style of divisive politics is directly downstream from how Donald Trump entered the political stage. He said that Obama wasn't born in America. Hillary should be locked up. His entire political rise was through divisiveness

NEW: A written statement from Gov Jared Polis (D) says he is reviewing the Trump administration's request to release Tina Peters to federal custody.

Polis praised Colorado's bipartisan election clerks who are asking him not to release Peters from state custody but didn't commit.
