It’s Thanksgiving week and the world is a very dangerous place! Donald Trump couldn’t even pardon two turkeys, believes that Finnish leaf-raking techniques will prevent forest fires, and plumbed new depths as he sided with Saudi murderers over our own intelligence agencies in an embarrassing exclamation-filled public statement. Meanwhile, romaine lettuce rears its E. coli-infested head and wreaks havoc on Americans' collective consciousness and Australians are having conniption fits over the placement of onions on a sausage sandwich. Also: we explore football player-turned-Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker’s involvement in a patent for a toilet for well-endowed men; residents of a ritzy coop on Manhattan’s Upper East Side sue their florist over a lobby arrangement that resembles a mass grave, and the Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana gets kicked out of China for an offensive Instagram video about an oversized cannoli. Thank u, next.
