JUST A FEW COMMENTS OF MANY:
The cover up is so bad it is being covered up.
Good One!!!!
Nailed it!!!
The coverup is getting quite messy.
We all need to be aware that this whole plan has been worked in for decades. Trump is a useful puppet. We can’t think getting him out is a time to relax. We need to stay ahead of Steve Bannon, Steven Miller, Heritage , and The Federalist Society. Then we need to root out all MAGA from our government, and put much better guard rails in place.
And all the tech bros who are also funding the take over of our democracy.
We celebrate Thanksgiving as, for us, it is non-denominational. As a Jewish kid, I felt invisible at Christmas time.
I wish I could have been standing alongside the true patriots at the Boston “Tea Party” dumping clean ice into the water. I salute them and thank each and every one of them 👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Peace and quiet. That is my primary, and non-negotiable, holiday tradition.
I actually heartily DISLIKE the FORCED family acknowledgment of the “happy holidays” around Christmas. The only thing I ever liked was Christmas dinner. We always invited people who lived alone, or might be shunned by society at large. There was always a gay single man in attendance, and an elderly lady who lived next door alone. We put ALL the leaves in the dining room table, and gathered chairs around our house to seat everyone. Even as my sister & I always washed the dishes - very carefully - I was & remain grateful for those occasions.
What a lovely and kind Christmas tradition. We need more of that generosity and empathy in the world.
Holidays are hard for some of us.
Protests are what we must continue to do as it seems to be bringing more people of different minds together.
Another question….what is actually being built in the White House and called a ballroom?
As an environmental person, I love that they dumped clean ice and not tea into the harbor - next, they should dump ICE agents in, though of course, for the environment, they should scoop up the bodies after they wash ashore.
Isn’t that that Christmas-y? Har! (Joking aside, it *is* Christmas-y when you think of all the holidays and families those ICE agents would otherwise ruin.)
Even if they dumped ICE agents in the harbor for a millisecond, it would likely pollute the whole harbor and kill any marine life nearby. That's how toxic ICE agents are.
True! Or maybe once no longer alive, the bodies can feed the marine life - like a big Christmas feast underwater.
I have a dark imagination when it comes to the fate of this regime and its players.
Scott this week just continues to be stupid.

Trump never goes through congress, but it’s interesting that he will use this as an excuse for why no one gets ‘tariff rebates’. (Which, incidentally, would do practically nothing to offset the inflation and high cost of living trumpstein has saddled us with.)
Rump needs to leave the White House asap - however he needs to do it. I’d prefer a perp-walk to a waiting cruiser to stand in front of a judge he’s ridiculed and harassed and with his bevy of incompetent attorneys (it’s on my list to Santa) but I’ll also take an ambulance ride to the farthest dementia ward as possible, preferably in El Salvador. Here’s to 2026.
We celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, because it is my husband’s birthday.
This year , I have absolutely no Christmas spirt.
Wish I could have been there for the Boston tea party protest.
Would not have been clean ice, skulls have been the ice goons with cement blocks.
They are going after my indigenous friends. Who were here prior to us. Just because they are brown.
I just can’t anymore

A friend sent me the cut CBS segment on CECOT that she found online and I watched it last night. The segment was whitewashed enough already, even without TRump's stamp of approval. It was bland reporting, at best. What is really happening in this place is much, MUCH worse. This Bari Weiss woman is a disgrace to journalism and unqualified for her new job at Paramount. I guess it proves that a $150,000,000 payout for her 'Free Press' blog can buy a person, even if that means losing their integrity. Oh well. ONWARD!
The recent ICE Tea party in Boston cleverly connected the colonists’ resistance to the crown 👑 while protesting the Trump regime’s over reach and immigration policy of today. Get ICE 🧊out of our communities! Love it!
🥁 A “tradition” I can do without: being subjected to the “Little Drummer Boy” on repeat for days.
🎄I’ve been making lasagna for Christmas dinner for many years— it’s red and green and a labor of love!
Allison Gill of “Mueller, She Wrote” commented: “Had Bari Weiss just ran the story, it would have been seen by a couple million people tops. The bootleg has now gone viral, and may end up being the most-watched 60 Minutes segment ever.”

This is all part of the attempts of Neoliberals and Corporations and Billionaires to take control of our entire lives. "In his satiric novel of the same name, Mark Twain would dub the era "the Gilded Age" (roughly 1880-1915) to refer to the greed, graft, and corruption that lay beneath its glittering facade. These industrialists' (Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt) outsize wealth and power over the lives of ordinary Americans eventually fueled a popular movement of workers and farmers that successfully pushed for business regulations and labor protections in the early twentieth century. We are now in the midst of a Second Gilded Age, one that has surpassed the first in its degree of wealth accumulation and inequality." from Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet" by Chuck Collins. And "there is no natural law that dictates the rich should run the world". from "Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism" by George Monbiot and Peter Hutchison. We Americans MUST take back our country from the Neoliberals and Corporations and Billionaires. Time for a Teddy Roosevelt moment in America!!
1) Watching the annual Kennedy Center Honors broadcast was a holiday tradition in our household for years. I'll be watching a Rob Reiner film tonight instead.
2) Approve heartily. Warm-heartedly, at that.
Thankfully Bari Weiss is incompetent. The full CECOT piece is widely available on social media platforms, including Substack. I freely share it, taking perverse pleasure in running it without a dime going to CB$ or the advertisers. Additionally, her ham-handed attempt to spike the story got me to watch something I otherwise would not have. I can’t be the only one.
