Biden refers to recent electoral Red Flop as Trump apparently still wants ‘his’ classified documents returned to Mar-a-Lago.
As he began his remarks on the crisp November morning, Biden joked he would keep it short because “nobody likes it when the turkey gets cold.”
Baste on tradition, Biden designated Chocolate as the official National Thanksgiving Turkey, but both Chocolate and Chip were pardoned. The birds weigh in at 46 and 47 pounds, respectively, and were raised by National Turkey Federation (NTF) chairman Ronnie Parker near Monroe, North Carolina.
Justice, and perhaps a side of cranberry sauce, was served as Biden roasted the 2022 National Thanksgiving Turkey and an alternate, Chocolate and Chip. The president quipped that the two birds were part of “another flock hoping to come to Washington in 2024.”
“The votes are in, they’ve been counted and verified, no ballot stuffing, no fowl play. The only red wave this season is going to be if German Shepherd Commander knocks over the cranberry sauce,” Biden told an audience on the White House South Lawn.
Speaking of turkeys, Accelerationists (still) love the national security risk that is the previous guy in 2024
Three years ago, Iranian officials tried and failed to launch a purported satellite, prompting Donald Trump to publish a tweet insisting the United States was not involved in the incident. The point of the then-president’s tweet wasn’t altogether clear, though by most measures, the Republican simply seemed eager to taunt Tehran.
But as regular readers might recall, Trump’s tweet didn’t just feature text; it also included a detailed photo of the Iranian launch pad. As MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell reported at the time, it wasn’t long before observers started wondering whether Trump had publicly released classified material.
Three years later, the answer has come into focus. NPR reported:
[A]erospace experts quickly determined it was photographed using one of America’s most prized intelligence assets: a classified spacecraft called USA 224 that is widely believed to be a multibillion-dollar KH-11 reconnaissance satellite. Now, three years after Trump’s tweet, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has formally declassified the original image.

But what makes a story like this vastly worse is that it’s part of a pattern: Trump mishandled national secrets with such frequency that I put together a Top 10 list a couple of years ago, highlighting the most dramatic examples.
And that was before we knew about the Republican’s willingness to bring classified materials to his unsecured glorified country club.

Accelerationism, however, also serves as a reactionary call against the antagonistic forces that are causing society to spiral out of control. In one Discord post from December 22, 2017, user Dr. Goebbowls wrote, “Anyone with half a brain and enough time can find the information to realize that accelerationism is the last resort of the white man of the modern age.”
Accelerationism is a popular topic in private chat rooms frequented by white supremacist groups like Atomwaffen and The Base. These virtual spaces are full of discussions about steps to take to hasten the ultimate collapse.
Roman Wolf, The Base’s self-described communications specialist and recruiter, retweeted this before his account was suspended: “Our enemies will accelerate our situation as they are intent on achieving their goals. We cannot halt this acceleration. We can however speed it up even further—every act of resistance by whites causes a further reaction by our enemies.”
