It was a Trump manger?
Just to be incredibly, incredibly pedantic:
“thy base impulses.” Like “a” vs. “an”; “thy” before a consonant sound, “thine” before a vowel sound.
My apologies for the diversion.
The pedant in me can’t just overlook this. The stable was what they stayed overnight in; the manger is the trough where they placed the Sweet Baby Jesus.
That bugged me, too. Knowing this is The Straight Dope, I figured someone else would correct it.
No bedbugs. No bedbugs. You’re the bedbug!
It is obvious you are not a lawyer. The word you are looking for is “tourist”. ![]()
Wait, they stayed in a barn but put the kid in a ditch outside? Fuuuuck. That kid couldn’t catch a break from day one.
No, it wasn’t quite that bad. A manger is a wooden trough that holds grain or hay for the livestock, and in this case it was inside the stable. Besides, he was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Not outside, the manger is where the food for the animals is served for them; herd animals’ version of Fido’s plate. See the similarity with the French verb meaning “to eat”?

There’s a video on the official White House youtube channel in which a pastor calls homosexuality unnatural.
Individual 1 makes an offhand comment about how he is going to look into cutting Social Security and Medicare, and when called out about it, he tweets, “Democrats are going to destroy your Social Security. I have totally left it alone, as promised, and will save it!” (No mention of Medicare).
Betsy DeVos compares those fighting against abortion to those who fought against slavery.
DeVos compares abortion rights debate to slavery - POLITICO?
Still, you can see why he’d grow up feeling like he had something to prove.
Today Trump unveiled the logo for the Space Force. He said it was the “Sixth Branch” of the military (even though the logo says it’s a department of the Air Force). Also, the logo looks kinda familiar. I can’t quite put my finger on it… https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1220821545746141187

I figured if there’s any site where I can assume a Star Trek reference will be appreciated, this is probably it. ![]()
True, that. But there may be one or two… oddballs… who roll through here. ![]()
Sharper eyes have noticed that not only did they steal the Star Trek logo, the stars are in the same alignment as in the NASA logo:

Whoda thunk the Trump admin would invent the replicator? And then use it to steal a design of a fictional organization which is… in one movie at least… in Nancy Pelosi’s district?
Oh man that’s aw[del]esome[/del]ful.
