This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for hip replacement surgery, the doctors who learned the science of how to do them, and the professional nurses who care for us afterwards.

Hey Seth Meyers: I knew Mondale was Carterโ€™s VP and I did laugh at your joke. And yes, I had a note to myself to schedule a cataract screening after Thanksgiving.

Interesting turn of events. She was a former DACA immigrant, the program trump was messing with in his first term.

So sheโ€™s saying the so-called President is openly and honestly showing his absolute hatred of most of us, his disdain for women & immigrants and his desire for death to those who disagree with him?
Can we openly call him a fascist piggy now since weโ€™re all being so honest here?

I would love to be in on your next list. Weโ€™re all stronger together to defeat fascism.

Oh, trump. You need to take your own advice: Quiet Piggy.

WE all knew this. The question is, did trump know? Or does he just not care? And where is all that tax money going? Itโ€™s not helping Americans get food or healthcare help. Is this a trump plot to enrich himself? To redecorate the White House to his liking?

Trump steals everything. He does not have a single original thought in that tiny ratโ€™s brain of his.

This is the type of chaotic govt where everyone is screwing over everybody elseโ€ฆand the rest of us will be the losers.

lol and so true. Except โ€œeducationโ€ is so hard to spell. Why not call it the โ€œGood Lerninโ€™ Departmentโ€?

Your truth makes so much more sense than Vanceโ€™s lie. Heโ€™s using the old worn out excuse of โ€œthis group of people is ruining your livesโ€ when itโ€™s really the rich and the influential who are the culprits. Every fascist uses this tactic.

That is so true but trump doesnโ€™t think that way. His brain cannot fathom doing something monumentally good for the rest of us.

Her smile is not a friendly smile. It is an โ€œIโ€™m lying so I donโ€™t have to actually answer that questionโ€ smile. She treats the reporters there and the rest of us listening as if we are Maga idiots.
Milquetoast Mikeโ€™s smile is even worse. And Pam Bondi has perfected her sneer.

Jen Psaki does that occasionally on her show. I wish sheโ€™d do more of it.

Sex, money, and power.
A wise priest once told me that the motivation to sin always boils down to one or all of these three.
Always has. Always will.

$2000 will not cover much. It wonโ€™t cover outpatient surgery for anything, it wonโ€™t cover a hospital stay, it wonโ€™t cover a yearโ€™s worth of even one prescription and itโ€™s not enough to cover the premiums on private health insurance for more than 1 or 2 months.

And why do you want to repeal healthcare insurance to millions of Americans?
(Follow-up to that: What exactly IS your โ€œplanโ€ that you promised to reveal โ€œin two weeksโ€ six years ago?)

But will Milquetoast Mike swear her in? Will he come up with some creative and lame excuse other than โ€œI donโ€™t want to.โ€?

Iโ€™m so glad I live in a place that had all 4 seasons. (and we have a fifth: mud season comes between spring and summer.)

My soc sec comes this Wednesday, but after bills, food, and a flat tire, I ran out of $ over two weeks ago so I know what itโ€™s like to count the days until money comes in. You stay home because thereโ€™s nowhere to go.

Today is Monday & now Iโ€™m hearing that some court has ordered those full SNAP benefits to be withdrawn? Whatโ€™s going on here? Is this true? And what if people already spent them?? (And I hope they did!)

The problem with dealing with trump and his government minions is that they have no heart, no soul, and no empathy. They do not care that Americans are suffering as long as they themselves are happy. With normal people, the Demโ€™s plan may have worked. (I have no answers to this mess though.)

Thank you. Iโ€™m sharing it forward. Everyone needs to read what the terrorists who are running America are doing. This torture is a crime against humanity and needs to be condemned.
