    MSNBC meanwhile kept us all festive by reminding us, with regard to the now-infamous Pilgrims, that “Instead of bringing stuffing and biscuits, those settlers brought genocide and violence”:

    I guess we can be thankful for crazy leftists insulting Thanksgiving….to give us appropriate contrast and context what selfish babies look like as adults.
