I’m 51 and i bed.

Thanksgiving was up the block. Ended early.

When I was a kid, the parties would end at 1 or 2am.

That’s when Italians were still fun.

I couldn’t believe people were leaving at 730

But it’s GREAT to come home to read this and read about the Hong Kong protesters paying homage to him.

What a great president.

The Great One would be very proud.

Am sitting here wondering if maybe this surprise visit to Bagram was meant two purposes, given the Noozweak ‘story’ about his playing golf etc on Thanksgiving:

1) a great morale boost to our troops a long way from home, with a big helping of humble when serving them turkey,

2) a good way to out whoever it was on the staff that saw fit to leak the fake ‘golfing’ itinerary to the Enemedia

Trump arrived at Bagram Air Field shortly after 8:30 p.m. local time and spent more than two-and-a-half hours on the ground.
