Thanksgiving In America: A Recap 🦃

People who experience a medical emergency while in DHS’ custody are being admitted into hospitals under fake names, preventing their families and lawyers from finding them.

Not that law really means anything to this Administration.

Trump, with no authority to do so, demands the airspace “above and surrounding” Venezuela be closed as he threatens to bomb and invade the country. pic.twitter.com/bw0vfwlm9R

(I know, old news. But it appears Trump is aiming for a casus belli that provokes Venezuela so he can justify his war. He’s dumb enough to think that will work. Or even happen.) And about that:

This should worry everyone.

“US officials contacted by Reuters were surprised by Trump's announcement and unaware of any ongoing military operations to enforce a closure of Venezuelan airspace.”

Trump’s failing faculties could walk the US into war.

Single handedly, apparently. Or maybe he’s so incompetent he not only can’t engage Congress, he can’t even engage his own military. Or maybe Kegsbreth Hagueseth has his hands full bombing non-belligerent boats.

Just as Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase worry about what the next Administration might pursue, so, too, should Hagueseth .

Wesley Hunt is seeking the GOP nomination for Senator from Texas. He’s currently so far behind Cornyn and Paxton he can’t even see them anymore.

🚨 "I want people to understand something -- as someone that wore the uniform, as someone that fought in the Middle East -- there are people that want to see the end of this country. End of discussion."

Now do Trump’s obvious desire to invade Venezuela.

He is my representative. I’ve always considered him an embarrassment, but now he’s just embarrassing himself.

I do wonder if that has something to do with it. Or maybe it’s just a question of qualifying for the pension. There’s also the question of the family grift:
