Do you think Jared and Ivanka will come anywhere near the White House this term or do you think they will stay away and count their blessings that no charges have been brought against them?

I don't think they expected to become the social pariahs that they now are. And since that isn't going to change I think they will stay away. They're certainly not worried about charges. The Trump family is immune for the next 4 years at least. Just what I wanted, a king.

Thanks to King John's 1215 gift of MagnaCarta, no one is above the law!

Not even kings.

Just elected presidents.

Only in America.

Why did USA Founders omit MagnaCarta (the foundation of civil rights descending from Britain), from the Constitution's Bill of Rights?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Let’s see how thankful MAGAs are when tariffs mean things like soap, laundry detergent and socks cost three times what they do now.

Let’s see how thankful they are when they have to wait ten months for their tax refunds, because Trump and friends cut funding for the IRS.

This shirt is perfect for Thanksgiving dinner 👇 🤣

JP, Canadians are considering a 25% Export Tax on everything we sell to Americans.

We would keep $$ to help our people redirect our trade away from our "best friends" to the rest of the world.

After all, why trade with Untrustworthy countries?!

Jared said that Gaza would be a great place to build waterfront condos once the place “was cleaned up”. Now that Gaza has been ethnically cleansed, you can bet he'll have both feet in the trough. Oink, oink.

True but because Garland piddled around we have NOTHING happening. Biden's choice of Garland was a horrible idea as proven by how NOTHING has happened. Smith stepping aside with all of the millions spent is VERY frustrating. 😔

But honestly because Jack asked the charges be dismissed WITHOUT prejudice and Judge Chutkan agreed, those charges at least are able to be reinstated in the future depending on the statute of limitations. So it's not entirely dead.

Garland put Jack Smith in place.

Colorado wanted to keep tffg (Mary's uncle) off the Colorado ballot for U.S. president, because he was involved in an insurrection. The crooked supremes (SCOTUS, in name only) "decreed" that Colorado may 'not' keep him / it off the ballot. I rule in favor of the people and legal minds of Colorado.

Mary, for all you do, for how much you care, may you have a truly blessed Thanksgiving. (P.S. HYSTERICAL picture!!! Isn't that what your father did to the orange sadist to shut him up one night when they were children?

It was reported that in January 2020 45’s WHITE HOUSE & HIS INVITED TRAITOR REPUBLICANS RECEIVED HIGH LEVEL GOVERNMENT INTEL ON THE COVID VIRUS. Axios carried 45’s statement of what he knew about it. What HE SAID WAS “CORONAVIRUS IS DEADLY AND IT IS AIRBORNE, YOU JUST BREATHE & YOU GET IT” BUT IT WAS TAKEN DOWN BECAUSE I COULD NOT GETBACK TO IT TO FORWARD IT TO OTHERS. 45 said the exact same thing to his biographer on a recorded line. So he knew the devastation this virus would bring but he hid the facts & lied that the virus was a hoax and it would just disappear! Why wasn’t 45 charged with Voluntary manslaughter for the one million Americans who died from Coronavirus BECAUSE HE INTENTIONALLY WITHHELD VITAL INFORMATION?

I have wondered the same thing. In my view, he was responsible for nearly a million deaths and deserved to be charged. As is so often the case with him, where's the outrage? (Answer: We've moved on to the next outrage.)

Second, please name at least 3 things each of us can DO every day to protect our civil rights and improve outcomes for our fellow humans in Ukraine and Gaza.
