Happy Thanksgiving!

Due to the ongoing dramatic siege of the USA, I need a break. I need to find that familiar humor in life again. And what better time than Thanksgiving week.

Even though it's not celebrated down here, I celebrate, not with turkey but chicken wings. Lots of crispy wings, taters, slaw and whatever vino blanco is available. Pura vida, baby.

Hold your loved ones close this holiday and laugh at family stories, eat all that great food, watch football and take many photos and videos. Carpe diem.

Some memes for your enjoyment:

Best holiday wishes to all. May it be peaceful.

Trump gave Interior nominee one directive for a half-billion acres of US land: 'Drill.'

Donald Trump assigned Doug Burgum a singular mission in nominating the governor of oil-rich North Dakota to lead an agency that oversees a half-billion acres of federal land and vast areas offshore: “Drill baby drill.” Burgum is an ultra-wealthy software industry entrepreneur who grew up on his family's farm.

Trump Replaces Florida Man With Florida Woman. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

President-elect Trump has named former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as his next nominee to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Bondi was a swift pick just hours after former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) withdrew himself from consideration for the role.

What the hell happened to all the dog and cat eating? That still going on or no?

“What this administration wants is schedule F employees - that will be at-will employees - that will be loyal not to the constitution of the United States but be loyal to whomever the president is." - Everett Kelley of the American Federation of Government Employees on President-elect Trump’s plans to reclassify career positions in the federal service, lifting protections that could leave them at risk of politically based, at-will firings.

There'll Be No Friggin' Transition, Just Bulls In The China Shop.

President-elect Donald Trump 's team still hasn't signed agreements that are required to formally begin the transition process to the White House — meaning the government can't provide security clearances and briefings to incoming administration officials and the FBI can't screen his rush of picks for the Cabinet and other key posts.

Matt Gaetz Drops Out As Trump's Nominee For Attorney General

Matt Gaetz Drops Out As Trump's Nominee For Attorney General
...“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,” Gaetz wrote on X

If you want to know how damning the Matt Gaetz report is:

1. Gaetz voluntarily lost his only job to stop us from seeing it; and then

2. Gaetz voluntarily refused his only job offer to stop us from seeing it.

Must be incendiary. - Mrs. Betty Bowers

As a mom of two young girls, I can assure you Matt Gaetz couldn’t pass a background check to babysit my daughters—let alone to be Attorney General of the United States. - Senator Tammy Duckworth

Joe Scarborough Clumsily Swept This Under The Rug In 2001 And Now He's Mad People Are Still Talking About It
Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are “petrified” that if Matt Gaetz becomes attorney general, he will use a baseless conspiracy theory to investigate Scarborough, Puck News reported on Wednesday night...In 2001, an intern for Scarborough named Lori Klausutis died at his office in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. An autopsy found that she passed out, hit her head, and died. She was found to have an undiagnosed heart ailment.

Joe Scarborough sent me a cease and desist AND removal of all my online info related to Lori Klausutis' death in 2006. I Didn't Do It.

Click letter below for full size image

I immediately called Papantonio and had an hour long conversation with him. The essence of the conversation was him wanting me to remove everything about Joe and me saying he doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. He was very polite and so was I.

By the way, I don't think Joe had anything to do with her death, there's not an iota of evidence that he did. BUT the way his office handled her death with boxing gloves on, the security guard changing his story, the shady coroner, no national media coverage and the lazy police investigation raised many local eyebrows.

I never heard from Scarborough or his lawyers again.

BACKGROUND:
The only local newspaper that covered the death of a US Congressman's aide (not intern) was the Northwest Florida Daily News in Ft. Walton Beach where she was found dead in Scarborough's office in 2001.

And the initial online coverage consisted of chat rooms, Buzzflash, and me.

Immediately the local police said no foul play was involved, which was curious because she had a visible gash on her forehead. Scarborough's office comes out and says that Lori was sickly and fell, blahblahblah. This angered her family as she was not sickly. She ran marathons for crying out loud.

Lori's husband contacted me thinking somehow that I wanted her body exhumed. Which of course I didn't. He said the family wanted nothing to do with Scarborough. I imagine they saw what Chandra Levy's family was going through in real time and just wanted to grieve.

Anyway, Joe's hometown newspaper the Pensacola News Journal, about 30+ miles from the death scene didn't print any article about Scarborough's aide until 3 or 4 days after her death, and that was at the insistence of my late husband who was a news editor there (and others in the newsroom). Imagine that, a newspaper ignoring actual news.

The stars must have been in a magnificent alignment for Joe because the doc who did the autopsy was an incompetent boob with a very shady background (and future) who said Lori died from a heart problem that caused her to faint and hit her head on a desk. Lori was very petite. Surprising that such a tiny girl would have enough downward force to crack her skull.

I think it was my 2001 editorial that must have irked him.

Remember, Gaetz climbed on the backs of the same evangelicals as Joe did, in Congressional District 1 in Florida. He's as greasy as Gaetz.

I’m old enough to remember when Dennis Hastert went to prison for being a pedophile. Today, not only is Matt Gaetz getting away with it but he gets to be Attorney General. How is any of this sh*t even real. - aintscarylarry

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump. - Dana Goldberg

Well, Of Course He Wants To Be Able To Kill The Messenger

President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday called for his party to “KILL” the Press Act, a bipartisan bill to protect journalists that has already passed the GOP-led House.

Trump shared to his Truth Social platform a PBS NewsHour interview from Monday titled, “Political divisions threaten bill to protect press freedom,” and added, “REPUBLICANS MUST KILL THIS BILL!”
