It's so nice that he got that endorsement from the entire Trump camp. No one loathes Trump like a New Yorker.

Coincidentally, two of the trans people I know have been working hard -- on the ground -- to get food to people who need it. One does it full time and the other just raised money through donations to feed kids on the weekends, when there's no school lunch. Enough was raised for 300 weekends.

I'm sure it's completely normal that we're having thunderstorms with hail at 9:30 PM in Western, MA in November.

I didn't watch the Norah O'Donnell and President Trump's joint appearance on 60 Minutes. CBS News has posted the full transcript of their conversation, not the edited version they showed on TV.

Spoiler alert: Mr. Trump is seriously unwell.

*editing for presentation is normal

This explains a lot. I mean, a lot a lot. It's not a ball *room*.

FOOD BANK DIRECTOR: “For every meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. There’s no way we can meet that gap. We were not built to do this.”

(@TNDemocrats are imploring @GovBillLee to fund SNAP with the billions in reserves as other states are, but he refuses)

I'd still like an explanation as to why he claims to not have a bank account.

Has anyone established what Mike Johnson knows? He either makes things up or says he doesn't know the answers to the questions the press will most obviously ask.

I'd be hard put to remember any mainstream actor being so explicitly supportive before this. 1970

Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump have so far instigated the murders of 43 people who were not demonstrated in any matter to be criminals, and whose killings are extrajudicial.

Forty-three murders. Some people were burned alive.

In our name.

I don't think most of us want to have anyone burned alive.

For what I know won't be the last time, ALL of them are paid by the importers and the cost is passed on to the consumer. Not most. The exporters don't pay.

Now let's talk about country-hopping.

There's been a group in the DC area doing that for years. My wife delivered a LOT of food for them as a volunteer.

I'm staggered by members of the Commentariat who put their friendships with Conservatives over the good of the country.

All the cool kids take one for the team, right, George?

It's been interesting watching the Trump international affairs doctrine evolve. It's diplomacy by being a pissy little brat.
