Three days from now waddle will be caught in a shoot out with police over ramming through a drunk driving checkpoint. And gobble has already donated millions in TKey$ coin to add golden toilet seats to the Trump ballroom.
President Donald Trump plans to bestow ceremonial pardons on Tuesday on two turkeys named Waddle and Gobble. He will then fly to his private Florida resort on Tuesday to celebrate Thanksgiving. https://to.pbs.org/4ohuCva

Hand editing your Windows Registry is not something I would normally recommend, but these instructions are simple and direct. Do exactly as directed and you'll be fine. If you get lost/stuck for some reason, tag me.
My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Well, in fairness, it's not like Trump has ever pretended to know anything about real estate.
There would not have been enough space on the opinion pages of newspapers or segments on cable news to cover the amount of outrage that the media would have directed at Joe Biden if he did not know the standard duration of a home mortgage, but Trump? Crickets.

My cab driver in Roanoke was a diehard MAGA Republican who's always voted against Tim Kaine. But he was impressed by Kaine's vote to end the shutdown without receiving healthcare concessions, and would now consider voting for him in 2028—should Trump pick him as his running mate.

“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.
A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.
This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

Live in NH and frustrated Shaheen is using retirement to skip out in responsibilities as she abandons ACA? Good news. Her daughter is trying to turn the family name into a political dynasty by running for NH-1. Let’s not reward bad actions, by letting her keep the political power in the family.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Since the coward pulled this while retiring the only ways to punish her are, 1) panning her future media appearances/books, 2) making this her legacy, 3) primarying any protege she puts forth as a replacement. Make her name and endorsement political poison so she can retire ignored and despised.
For over a month, I’ve made clear that my priorities are to both reopen government and extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
This is our best path toward accomplishing both of these goals.
