Meanwhile, Its Turkey, Lamb, Scallops and Ahi Tuna Martinis at Mar-a-Lago
By Terry H. Schwadron, DCReport New York Editor
Happy Thanksgiving, unless youre on the nations Southern border.
Happy holiday, unless you are among those first 3,000 early migrants arriving at the port of entry into the United States and crowding into a new public shelter with little room for growth. The estimates now are that it will take at least a month or two for these migrants to approach the legal port and apply for asylum. Thats a month or two with a child or infant with no job, little cash and needing food and shelter, lining up behind about 3,000 already waiting for hearings.
Happy holiday season for 7,000 U.S. National Guardsmen and active U.S. military troops bivouacked in tents along the southwestern border, constrained from doing more than support services, but dispatched by the White House to look the part of a strong defense against an invasion of migrants. These troops, who have little operational strategy or use beyond the act of locating along the border, will be there through the holidays to, well, almost no practical point at all.
Maybe even happy thoughts for Trump, who reportedly plans to celebrate Thanksgiving once again at his members-only Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, feasting on a 24-dish extravaganza of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, marshmallow sweet potatoes, red snapper, leg of lamb, grilled diver scallops, stone crab, ahi tuna martinis, Maine lobster bisque, short ribs, beef tenderloin and seven desserts.
The day about which Donald Trump warned us unceasingly in the weeks before the mid-term elections has arrived. Its not chaotic, its not an invasion: Its boring for all.

(21,734 posts)2. I watched a movie about a caravan of misfits on a quest last night.
There was a lion, a dog, a scarecrow , a tin man, and a young girl. They had to overcome adversity and physical attacks all along the way from a wicked dick...(er, i mean witch). But, happily in the end they made it and they all got their wishes granted.
That witch should have built a bigger wall or had more flying monkeys.
