Today we celebrate
When a group of illegal aliens invited Native Americans to dinner

Then spent the next several centuries stealing their land and waging a campaign of genocide against them.
But sure, Happy Thanksgiving!😉

New York Times Calls Trump 'Vague' On Abortion--But His Own Words Say Otherwise
New York Times Calls Trump 'Vague' On AbortionBut His Own Words Say Otherwise
After The New York Times called former President Donald Trump "vague" on abortion rights, President Joe Biden's campaign posted an ad and a video of Trump's own statements that say otherwise.
Earlier this week, the newspaper published an article by journalist Ruth Igielnik titled "Why Trump Seems Less Vulnerable on Abortion Than Other Republicans," in which she said that Trump "appointed judges who overturned Roe, but his vague statements on the issue may give him some leeway with voters."
Igielnik wrote that Trump "has held steady in recent surveys even among voters who favor keeping abortion mostly legal" and that he "seems to have effectively neutralized abortion as an issue during the Republican primary" because he "appears to be attending to general election voters by employing vagueness and trying to occupy a middle ground of sorts."

Some have voiced concern about Joe Biden being too old and not having all his facilities. Well, Ill take Joe Biden without all his facilities than Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley or Dean Phillips with all of theirs combined.
Great scene from I, Claudius
In the BBC series I, Claudius, when Claudius is proclaimed Emperor, he meets with a group of skeptical Senators.
Senator: There are those who say you cannot hear properly, you cannot speak properly, and that you've got no experience of government.
Claudius: And that I am besides half-witted... As for being half-witted, well, what can I say - except that I have survived to middle age with *half* my wits, while thousands have died with *all* of theirs intact. Evidently, *quality* of wits is more important than *quantity*.
