Department of Homeland Security is just so adorable!

Looking forward to those hype videos of Santa swooping down the chimney and dragging out children, set to festive death metal carols.

He knows all the children have been bad this year. Ho ho ho!

Oh there's more 'gold' lettering on the White House now, quelle surprise.
I hadn't realized the signage was 3D and glued on, which is even tackier than painted letters.
And that clumsy spacing!
It looks SO shitty 👎😵

With trump you can't tell if he's referring to drugs or immigrants. Probably both.

We're pretty sure it will be called Le "Arc" de Trump, pourquoi pas?
Trump: We're doing ballrooms. We're doing arcs. You probably heard about it, the arc that we're looking at by the bridge near Arlington

In Becca Rothfeld's review, you find yourself wishing she'd written Nuzzi's book instead. Very well done ✔️

“There could have been a version of this book in which she dared to interpret her fall from grace as continuous with the country’s — in which she, too, was shocked to find herself seduced by charismatic vulgarity, in which she admitted to ugliness or inelegance.” Now that’s a book I would have read.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.
Who's coming to save you?

AI has plagiarized recipes and entire websites - even photos of the cooks' families, altering their faces. And the recipes themselves are screwed up and unusable.
AI slop recipes now dominate all food-related web traffic by 25% to 80%.

Let's take a relaxing drive down the Wilshire Boulevard of 75 years ago. 🚗 🌴
An unhurried look at the shops, cars, billboards and people on the Miracle Mile in 1951.

More JFK souvenirs: Good luck charms, medals and such. There were millions of these things in the world, not even counting the PT-109 pins.

If you look at all the JFK souvenirs they made over the years, the one thing they all have in common is none of them really look like him. Kennedy was notoriously hard to draw or sculpt.

What was the worst Secret Santa gift you ever got?
At my last corporate gig the gift had a $20 limit; my Santa thoughtfully gave me a dirty old set of bongos from his closet. Surprise! 😆

I'm going to have half a jar of mincemeat mix leftover when I add apples for pie, so I checked out recipes for mince cookies to use the rest (probably will halve the ingredients🤞) Adding raisins, nuts and extra spice. Mmm 🍪

I was thinking of making fruitcake (old '60s Family Circle recipe is very good), but I might make fruitcake cookies instead.
Besides the candied fruit they have raisins and nuts, therefore similar to the oatmeal raisin cookies we always had at Xmas.
Y/N?

Hey everyone, Homeland Security says whistles are causing crime.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Kristi Noem is mad that protesters are blowing whistles at ICE agents.

If he serves a full term, one year out of four will have been spent at a trump property. Two thirds of that playing golf.

Remember this minister who was thrown on the ground by ICE in Chicago?
Here's Homeland Security's response to people who dared to object to it. Super classy.
