How about a stand down today

[Skidmore]

and time to reflect on something besides talking points and polls. Most of us have much to be thankful for and there are many today who could use generosity. Send some of it out in the world.

[JaneyVee]

1. Happy Thanksgiving to all. May your day be filled with love, joy, and delicious food.

Except for Donald Trump. He can go fuck himself.

[Skidmore]

3. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

and I join you in your wishes for Trump.

[deutsey]

9. Who would've thought Donald Trump could bring our warring factions together?

Have a great holiday.

16. Twice. With a rusty spatula. While flame-cloaked Ben Carson serenades him with "Send in the Clowns."

I have a very-active visual imagination.

[BootinUp]

2. True but boring

Maybe Dom DeLuise can lighten things up

[Maynar]

32. I LOOVE

that movie!

"That man's nuts! Grab 'im!"

[hootinholler]

Happy Day all y'all! And don't forget to use fresh straw!

[Warren Stupidity]

5. Incoming!

We've already had the morning barrage.

[KeepItReal]

29. LOL!

Thanks for the laugh!

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Duval]

6. Happy Thanksgiving, Skidmore. Great Idea!!

And Happy Thanksgiving to all here at DU!

[Rose Siding]

7. No can do

It's FRESH cranberries or NONE at ALL! I will not give an inch on this, I'm not opening any CAN no matter wh.....oh, sorry, that's my own drama.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

[SusanaMontana41]

14. Could you open a cran can for me, por favor?

I'll slurp it with a straw if necessary.

Peace to you and yours.

[Paper Roses]

8. I've been up since 5AM. Read all the rants I can take for what is supposed to be a special day.

To the 228,000+ DU members, Happy Thanksgiving.

Yes, I think we should keep our political and religious beliefs to ourselves, at least for the day.
This is supposed to be a happy holiday. Lets not spoil it.

[Major Hogwash]

10. I donated a new coat to the clothing drive they held here this week.

It's supposed to get all the way down to 10º tonight, so hopefully someone will get some use out of that coat.

[deutsey]

11. If these guys could stand down for a Christmas truce,

DU should be able to do so for Thanksgiving.

[wolfie001]

21. That was taken early in the Great War

It's like 1916-1917 around here.

[oasis]

26. Impressive photo. On that I'll retire my commentary for the day.

Have a great Thanksgiving Day. Thanks for the pic.

[Punkingal]

12. I'll drink to that....

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

[GitRDun]

13. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Enjoy the day!

[retrowire]

15. Happy Thanksgiving!

Everyone!

[yuiyoshida]

17. Kanshasai Omedeto!!

happy thanksgiving!

[Art_from_Ark]

33. Yeah, Kanshasai Omedetou

Here in Japan, we had Kinro-Kansha-no-Hi, or "Labor Thanksgiving Day", last Monday, although most people probably just thought of it as a 3-day weekend.

[FairWinds]

18. And don't forget to celebrate . .

National Buy Nothing Day tomorrow.

[pangaia]

20. Now THAT would be a big win !!!!

[AlbertCat]

22. I always thought "Black Friday" was a book about nuking the Super Bowl.

There's also a 1940's Karloff horror film called "Black Friday". Something about implanting half a brain in someone...that turns out to be an "Abby Normal" brain.

Buy it.... tomorrow.

19. Lovely thought

Happy Thanksgiving!

23. It's GDP

Take a Thanksgiving Day break if you don't like it.

[FairWinds]

24. GDP is not the same as . .

quality of life. Sometimes the relationship between the
two is INVERSE. More "stuff" does not equal a better existence.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but the planet cannot handle
limitless consumerism.

[Skidmore]

25. Sometimes wealth is measured in who you spend time with

and the joy of being together and sharing company. Thanksgiving is that type of holiday. Certainly sharing a meal with those you love can be allowed in the midst of political angst. It is also as good a day as any other to share what you have with those who don't have enough.

[FairWinds]

27. Thanks Mr. Skid . .

Yep, sittin' here with my grand-kid at my son's place in Chicago. This is
the first year in a long while that we have not helped serve TKGV dinner
at a shelter. Our young 'uns are doing all the cookery for this one - and it's
the first time in 55 years that my lovely wife has not cooked on this day.

The only thing missing is a crazy uncle - maybe we can rent one for the day here in Chi-town.

[Agnosticsherbet]

28. I took party in the 5/10k run for the hungry, a family thanksgiving tradition.

Happy Thanksgiving.

[Walk away]

30. Well, that didn't work!

[sheshe2]

31. Thanks Skidmore.

[pnwmom]

34. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[ornotna]

35. It was a nice thought

Can't wait for Christmas.
