It’s the most sickening time of year, and not just because President Trump pardoned a notorious convicted cocaine trafficker while continuing to execute suspected smugglers in the Caribbean without proving their guilt. Elsewhere, First Lady Melania Trump’s audiobook is now available in Spanish, and a raccoon broke into a liquor store and helped himself to some free booze.

Trump went completely off the rails in a furious social media posting spree last night, held another all-star cabinet meeting where he couldn’t seem to keep his eyes open, when he wasn’t sleeping – he was lying, he unveiled his latest effort to intoxicate the stupid with an idea he calls “Trump Accounts,” Don Jr. is busy screaming about how unfair everyone is to his father, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are in Russia with Putin, and on Giving Tuesday we ask people on the street if it is GIVING Tuesday.
