New details about Robert Lewis Dear, the 57-year-old man who attacked a Planned Parenthood on Friday, suggest that Dear may have been motivated by anti-abortion sentiments, and may also be mentally ill.

Coming off fresh from an incident in which he compared the Syrian refugees to “rabid dogs,” Ben Carson is now spending the week in Jordan, where he apparently plans to make up for his capacious lack of any sort of foreign affairs experience whatsoever with a few strategic head pats. And what has Dr. Carson learned so far? Apparently, the refugees don’t even want to come to the U.S. in the first place.

After the devastating shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Friday, commenters (welcome and not) have come out of the woodwork to give their hottest takes. A few, including a large slice of the candidates for the highest elected position a politician can hold in the U.S., have remained silent as a power-hungry throng of church mice.

Kristin Cavallari’s jewelry line Emerald Duv (“Emerald Duv”) is on sale all the way through Monday.

At midnight on Saturday, the federal government’s bulk data-gathering program for American phone conversations will come to an end at last.

Here’s a lovely update from The Tampa Bay Times in its writeup about the Donald Trump rally in Sarasota, Florida on Saturday:

While Colorado police were apprehending the Planned Parenthood shooting suspect Friday night, Fox News was busy ensuring its level of discourse met our most base expectations. Which, of course, amounts to little more than: Thanks, Obama.

“Neutrogena sunscreen.”

On Friday, presumably to burnish his (non-existent) foreign policy credentials, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson traveled to Jordan for a two-day tour of several camps of Syrian refugees, who he previously compared to rabid dogs.

So far, 13 days into the trial of Daniel Holtzclaw, a former Oklahoma City police officer charged with 36 counts, including rape, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, and stalking, in connection with 13 different women, the prosecution has called more than 40 witnesses, including nine of Holtzclaw’s accusers. According to The Guardian, prosecutors allege that Holtzclaw targeted black women with histories of drug use, sex work, or criminal backgrounds, because he thought investigators would be less likely to believe them if he was ever accused.

Last month, after a Dunkin’ Donuts wrote “#blacklivesmatter” on a police officer’s coffee cup, Tony Lepore, Providence’s infamous dancing cop, who has directed holiday traffic in the city since 1984, organized a protest. He was fired on Tuesday, the Providence Journal reports.

Nobody is buying retail, and people who are buying retail are buying it online, but some of the people who are buying retail products IRL are still getting into fights over it. Also, black activists in Chicago plan to disrupt the retail district.

Even on a national holiday, Donald Trump can’t help himself from being a petulant slice of stinking, festive shit-pie.

This Thanksgiving, let’s all be thankful for—and not trample on—birds.

What is Kristin Cavallari doing this Thanksgiving? Playing a video game, if you can believe that.

Another day, another enemy for Donald Trump.
