So Rittenhouse just picked up the phone and asked Doofus to come over, did he? What, he has Doofus' phone number saved in his 'favourites'? My Aunt Fanny! It was a carefully orchestrated PR move by Doofus to woo more people to his Cult.

Apparently his Mother asked to come to MarALago and meet him.

All 3 defendants guilty of murder in Ahmaud Arbery case. After Rittenhouse, I was truly worried.

Per CNN article;

"Travis McMichael, who shot and killed Arbery, was convicted on all nine counts against him. Five of the counts — malice murder and four counts of felony murder — carry a possible life sentence.

His father, Gregory McMichael, was found guilty of all but the first count — malice murder. He faces possible life in prison for the four counts of felony murder that he was convicted of.

The third defendant, William "Roddie" Bryan Jr., was convicted on six of the nine charges. He was found not guilty of malice murder, not guilty on one of the felony murder counts and not guilty of aggravated assault with a firearm. But Bryan could still be sentenced to life in prison since he was convicted on three of the felony murders counts."

All three still face federal Hate Crimes charges.

Hearing about what they did I can only say...thank goodness

edition.cnn.com/2021/11/24/politics/donald-trump-january-6-committee-argument/index.html

(CNN)-- 'Former President Donald Trump is accusing the House select committee investigating January 6 of being so aggressive in its pursuit of his White House records that it could permanently damage the presidency, according to a court filing from his legal team on Wednesday.

Trump is appealing a lower court's decision that his records should be turned over to the committee. The Biden administration and the US House are unified in opposing the former President's efforts to keep the records secret, arguing that more than 700 pages including White House call logs and notes from his top advisers should be available to the probe.'

Just want to take a moment to wish everyone, no matter where on our wonderful Earth you call home, a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for all you lot for helping me keep my sanity for the past, what is it now, almost 6 years?

Next year is the mid-terms. Roll on 2022. I guess.

Jconnais1chansonquivavsenerver · 25/11/2021 14:03

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you, too @AcrossthePond55, and to any others on this thread who are celebrating today. I hope all is well with you and yours and that you have plenty to give thanks for.

Roussette · 25/11/2021 14:47

And a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours *Across and to everyone looking in from the US. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Seems apt at Thanksgiving and on International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Sad

Figures.

'Former President Donald Trump could pay $156,000 in legal expenses for every person arrested thus far in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol using the $105 million he has collected by spreading the same lies he used to incite the attack, but so far has not helped a single one of the nearly 700 rioters.

“Many people who went there that day are disappointed by his lack of support,” said one defense lawyer on the condition of anonymity so as not to hurt his Jan. 6 client’s case. “If President Trump was ever going to step up and step in, the time to do it is right now.”'

“Many people who went there that day are disappointed by his lack of support,”

Sure, but not enough to wake up and smell the covfefe and stop supporting his bullshit.

'Despite months of promising to file an explosive lawsuit that would “pull down” the 2020 presidential election results and reinstate Donald Trump to the White House, pillow-monger Mike Lindell has instead turned his election-fraud-athon into a four-day sales promotion.

“I want to show you guys some Black Friday specials that we’re doing with MyPillow,” Lindell said Friday morning, rattling off sales for pillows and sheets. “That’s the lowest price in history.”'

Belated Thanksgiving greetings!

Do those of you in US have a secret family spice mix for pumpkin pie handed down the generations, like my American friend over here?

@TheSilveryPussycat

Belated Thanksgiving greetings!

Google the Libby's Pumpkin Pie recipe. I'll bet that 95% of the 'family secret' recipes in the US are the actually the Libby's recipe, whether the family realizes it or not. That recipe has been around since the 1920s so I'm sure it's been passed down as 'Granny's secret recipe' for generations, ever since Granny herself first passed it off as 'her own'.

My own family has used that recipe for at least 4 generations.

Just be sure you use 'plain' pumpkin puree and not the pumpkin pie filling (which is pre-seasoned).

Hope you have all had a peaceful Thanksgiving.

I would like to add this to the long list of Trump things that are difficult to believe and at the same time, absolutely not.

"Mr Trump claimed in April that had he been a Democrat, he would already be immortalised on Mount Rushmore."

There hasn't been a Democrat yet, though Democrat-Republican comes reasonably close.

I wonder whether Trump sees himself as most closely aligned to the birth, growth, development or preservation of the nation he was inflicted on by birth?
