Trump vows to "permanently pause" migration from poor nations in anti-immigrant social media screed

On the same day our weary nation paused to give thanks, to sup in the spirit of America's immigrant and native ancestors who broke mythical bread together on these very lands some 400 years before, our wannabe dictator delivered an altogether different Thanksgiving Day message of his own. Donald took to his social media platform and vowed to "permanently pause migration" from poorer nations AND promised to expel millions of immigrants from the United States by revoking their legal status. Someone at the White House might want to check on Stephen Miller. He's liable to have a heart attack from all the excitement and delirium Trump's vile, reprehensible hate is undoubtedly triggering.

Ditch Trump-supporting corporations and shop Blue-owned small business this Black Friday!

Minocqua Marketplace: It’s both holiday shopping season and boycott corporate authoritarian sycophants season, and what better way to celebrate than by shopping at the Minocqua Marketplace, a Wisconsin-based “collective” of ONLY Blue-owned anti-Trump small businesses. They have a wide variety of interesting stuff ranging from regular gifts and household items to clever protest merch and things like “Woke Coffee” and “Gulf of MEXICO Mexican Lager.” It’s the perfect way to shop and feel good about it AND they donate a portion of proceeds to Wisconsin anti-Trump organizations!

Trump rips into another female reporter with incredibly "stupid" personal attack
The president attacked yet another journalist for asking a basic question during a Thanksgiving media availability after he spoke to US service members, part of a recent trend of insults he's hurled at the women who cover him. "Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?" he asked the reporter during a tense exchange about the suspect in Wednesday’s attack on two National Guard members in Washington, DC. Man, you can almost hear a father not loving his young son enough in Donald's tone, can't ya?

Tim Walz fires back at Trump with pointed dare after president hurls slur in late-night Thanksgiving tirade

It took Gov. Tim Walz just four words to put the tirading MAGA cult leader properly in his place following yet another unhinged social media screed, this time targeting Minnesota and its Somali immigrant population. Trump called the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee "seriously retarded" (way to keep it classy, Donnie!) and cooked up a fantastical story about marauding Somali gangs "taking over" the entire state, a la Mad Max. It's the sort of hysterical xenophobia we've come to expect from the 79-year-old nincompoop-in-chief and it prompted a pitch-perfect response from Walz: "Release the MRI results." And that is how you drop a mic.


Trump’s golf trips have cost taxpayers $71 million since January and could eventually top staggering $300 million, report says
On the one hand, $300 million is an unconscionable sum of taxpayer money to dole out for presidential leisure, but then again, the more time Donald spends cheating on various golf courses the less time he has to do more irreparable harm to our nation. Maybe we've been going about this all wrong. Are there any other time-consuming activities we could distract him with? Pickleball? Shuffleboard? Bird watching?


Trump says the US will "very soon" take action on land to stop alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers
With the ongoing build-up of US naval forces in the Caribbean and regular sabre-rattling threats from the MAGA cult leader himself, it sure seems like a land invasion of Venezuela is imminent. It's a curious move for a guy who's claimed to have ended eight wars and has openly pined for a Nobel Peace Prize for years. The Trump regime officially declared Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro the leader of a foreign terrorist organization last week, laying the groundwork to justify the very type of preemptive, regime-toppling military misadventure Donald "America First" Trump promised his followers he would never embark upon.
