So much happening all at once and so much of it bad or portending to a bad future. At least one thing good happened and that was Matt Gaetz being thwarted in his quest to be Attorney general of the US. However, Trump was able to find someone almost as repugnant to fill the spot. Former Florida AG Pam Bondi who took a “campaign contribution” from Trump and then refused to prosecute Trump University is the next clown nominated as US AG. 

Last Friday was the 61st anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. Everyone has their own take on the event. Sure seems like the US has been on a downhill slide ever since.

But this is Thanksgiving week. For some a religious type holiday. For many the beginning of the winter holiday season. Whatever is your direction we wish you all a pleasant holiday.

So of course we will sprinkle in some Thanksgiving trivia.

B) We didn’t mention why Matt Gaetz abandoned his quest to be AG. Why did Gaetz withdraw his name from consideration for AG?

H) Speaking of cable newsers, what pair of newsers caused big ripples when they admitted to taking a trip to Mar-a-Lago to speak with Trump?

I) Well it looks as if Trump has indeed gotten away with serious crimes as what Judge announced Friday that he has suspended sentencing Trump for his 34 felony convictions?

J) Walmart announced Friday that Trump’s tariffs would be paid by who and not the exporting countries?

I know we’re all distracted by Trump’s cabinet picks, but I don’t want to leave out the astounding sterling intellects of those very serious Republicans who haven’t yet been chosen for a role in the new Administration. 

Like recently reelected Lauren Boebert.
