Congress doesn't do things anymore, especially things that could even vaguely be considered as responsible and ethical.

"Miracle on 34th Street" is a classic Thanksgiving movie that's gone the way of the dodo bird [sadly] It has a great ensemble of actors. It's about hope, giving, believing and loving. Things we don't see enough of in films.

As for the state of our nation - no words fit to print!

Hakeem Jeffries is a lost cause. Has he ever made a Demand while minority leader? Always gives up early on and bows to the republicans. Groan. He's what an old, long gone friend referred to as a feebleton.

The 1988 movie "The Accidental Tourist", starring William Hurt, Geena Davis and Kathleen Turner has a memorable Thanksgiving scene that is both comic and poignant at the same time. The film itself is about loss, recovery and connections, and features an adorable Corgi as well!

So Agent Orange told over 30,000 lies in his first term. I feel that Karolyin Levitt gives us at least that many every day - or am i just shell-shocked?

“Pieces of April” is the best Thanksgiving movie by far. We watch it every year.

Doesn't really matter if pistol pete (or whoever) gets the axe. Whoever trump puts in afterward will be at least as bad.

The problem with Jefferies on point: "I question whether the House Democratic leader should base HIS proposals off of “what Mike Johnson will accept.” NOT LEADERSHIP, yet again.

Kash already has a replacement so my guess is he’s first. Hard to choose in this kakistocracy.

Their whole Daddy thing is gross. I'll believe have another drink Pete is gone when I see it.

After a day of football games, my favorite movies are The Holiday and Last Holiday. Then, I'm ready for dessert.

What a shame there is no Die Hard film for Thanksgiving.

Makes me sick how Democrats cry War Crimes when it’s convenient to them, but not to stop funding the ongoing slaughter of Innocent Children in Palestine and the ongoing war crimes of Israel!

THIS IS REAL TALK:

Now, the minority leader’s calculus is right that the GOP will never go along with a proper impeachment process of Hegseth… for now. Although, I question whether the House Democratic leader should base HIS proposals off of “what Mike Johnson will accept.”

Fuck what Johnson will accept. SHEEEEIT. BE BOLD.
