THE WHOLE THING IS AN EXERCISE IN INSANITY:  Economics Lesson.

NOTE THE “TRUMP VISITS TROOPS WHERE WE’VE BEEN AT WAR FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS” AS THOUGH HE’D BEEN PRESIDENT ALL THAT TIME: Rolls eyes. Refresh my memory. DID Obama ever visit the troops in areas at war? Maybe he did and my faulty memory is failing me. However, visiting those who might die at your command is just good manners. Particularly when they’re spending a national holiday that’s normally devoted to family far from theirs.  Newsweek, Suckered by Trump, Grudgingly Corrects Thanksgiving Story.

It is Thanksgiving Day, 1865, and Margaret Browne isn’t feeling very thankful. The war is over, and her grown-up sons have returned from the fighting, but her beloved husband remains absent, last seen a captive in a notorious prisoner-of-war camp. The Browne family muddles through their uncertain path, lost without their leader, but when everything begins to go wrong all at once, Margaret must hold together the farm and her family, and turn a disaster into a true day of thanks-giving.

DRINKING ONE’S OWN INK ISN’T HEALTHY. BUT VAST MAJORITIES OF OUR CO-CITIZENS ARE ORDERING IT BY THE BUCKET FULL AND GOING BACK FOR REFILLS:  The Self-Eating Snake.

WELL, HE IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THEIR WHOLE NARRATIVE. SO THIS IS COMING OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS WHETHER THEY WANT IT OR NOT. IN WRITING THIS IS CALLED “MESSAGES FROM FRED” LIKE WHEN YOUR CHARACTER KEEPS SAYING “THIS IS BORING:”  Biden and Bloomberg: Trump as “existential threat”.

IT IS TRUE, THERE IS NO PROOF:  An Omar sideshow.

ON THE OTHER HAND, THIS TWITTER THREAD IS INTERESTING: Imam of Peace on Twitter.

On yet the third hand, when dealing with Islamic culture… who knows?
