    @wtg said: the White House reportedly resisted allowing citizens to return to the US for care and monitoring. I missed this. (I’ve been kind of hiding from the news lately, it’s all just too much) How shameful this country’s administration has become. it gets worse with each day.

    Very nice! Seems like a bargain price for a house like that. I wonder if there’s a reason.

    He's a reputable historian. His wheelhouse is the history of the Arabs. https://share.google/nr9msyvfYCsLpukdD I see he probably did get this wrong. A cartoonist invented red Santa in 1863 for Harper's Weekly and Coca-Cola used red Santa in 1938. - From the comments. I suppose both stories could be true. I think I'll Google an image of the 1863 Santa. But why a red Santa at that time? I like him wearing green. It's my favorite color. Edit- "In 1863, Santa Claus did not wear his signature red suit in Harper's Weekly, as the magazine was printed entirely in black-and-white wood engravings. While cartoonist Thomas Nast famously introduced the prototype of our modern Santa Claus on the January 3, 1863 cover of Harper's Weekly, the actual text accompanying the illustration reveals that Santa was dressed in a patriotic Union uniform of a star-covered jacket and striped trousers rather than a solid color.Nast did not popularize the iconic bright red outfit until 1881, when his famous colorized illustration titled "Merry Old Santa Claus" was published. Thank you, AI Edit 2- He was wrong. He should stick to his area of expertise. A Pictorial History of Santa Claus — The Public Domain Review https://share.google/2kiuUQ8ouUy0lSY5v

    That's disgusting and I'm not watching the video because after that it would be in my memory. Are humans the smartest animal or the dumbest?

    Yes, and the Senate is furious. As I said in another thread, Republicans and the Acting Attorney General got into a shouting match and the Senate shut down with the House following suit. Basically, Trump demanded everything he wanted, all at once; or, in other words, he wanted a rubber stamp.

    So, the Republican Senators and the Acting Attorney General got into a shouting match and the Senate was shut down. Soon after, the House was shut down.

    He can be sane the live long day or not but he's got dementia either way. Also, I wouldn't focus on his agency myself not that I have insight into it. I'd focus on how he's being used by others.

    I really don't care. There are more important things requiring attention. I watch soccer. It will survive.
