Ana Marie, I do not think of the Pilgrims, et al.
A day of Thanksgiving (drafted by Samuel Adams)
was declared after the Battle of Saratoga, by GW after the passage of the constitution and made permanent by Lincoln as a day of unity in the Civil War.
To me, no need to celebrate oppression.

Chris, when you spoke of an alternate history (had Krasnov been successful in Hollywood):
Had Roger Ailes had continuing success in producing off-Broadway plays (instead of his one 1973 quirky hit "Hot L Baltimore") ... perhaps the FNC might not have come-to-pass in the way that it did.

A great sentiment (in general) and for the times we live in (in particular).

Yes, the "spheres of influence" as per the German-Soviet pact of 1939.
Canada? Gotta be the 51st state (North American sphere)
Greenland? Don't rule out an invasion (North American sphere)
Ukraine? That's in Russia's sphere.
Gaza? Not in our sphere, but did somebody say ... hotels?

The boxing press (during the very long reign of heavyweight champ Joe Louis) would dismiss his overmatched challengers as "The Bum of the Month Club".
Seems as if that could be revived for Krasnov attorneys.

I have pleaded - incessantly - to many with accounts there (sports/music primarily) to start a Bluesky account.
Some will not. Others will set one up ... then post there every 2 months.
I have disconnected from all political content there - and don't engage - yet still need more than what's here.

I still pop over there to read a few posters - mainly sports and music - whom, no matter how hard I try to convince them: will not set-up a Bluesky account.
I don't engage, and have removed most all of my "Following" accounts if political.
Some day that will go away.

When I visited Memphis years ago: my brother and cousin told me I was nuts for not wanting to visit Graceland.
I got all the Elvis I needed by visiting the Sun Records studio museum. It explains his importance in the rise of our music ... no need to see the excesses.

Part of me wants this case jettisoned just on the mis-handling, lack of valid appointment, et al.
Part of me wants the "vindictive prosecution" to be the punch.
I can't get into Comey and Fitzgerald's heads .... guess we'll just have to wait and see.

My guess is if there had been someone "in the files" who was:
* A Democratic elected official/party higher-up (past/present)
* A liberal activist, or
* A Hollywood actor, or
* Anyone falling into the "enemy list" of Kash
.... they would have leaked it a long time ago.
