"Andrew Jackson was a very tough person, but he had a big heart. He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said, “There’s no reason for this.” - Trump on the Civil War, not realizing that Jackson died 16 years before it started, not realizing that he was for the relocation of Native Americans out of the South, aka the Trail of Tears...or that Jackson is from Tennessee and that he owned over 100 slaves.

If you're one of those trying to find healthier substitutes for standard comfort food, turkey meatloaf is a good start.

Turkey Meatloaf

2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1⁄4 lbs ground turkey
1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg (or 1/4 cup egg substitute)
3⁄4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

Melt butter in a skillet.

Cook onion and garlic in melted butter for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Place mixture in a large bowl to cool for 5 minutes.

Combine turkey, bread crumbs, egg, 1/4 cup of the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper with onion mixture.

Press meatloaf into an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

Spread remaining ketchup on top.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50-55 minutes.

(Internal temperature should reach 165 degrees.) Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

"I wanted to let this story go. I really did. I don’t want to be distracted from all the important things taking place. Where are we on the Russia investigation again?
But the sheer craziness of this obsession by Donald Trump with Andrew Jackson and the Civil War is a carnival act unlike anything I have ever seen at the White House. And not to let something drop, there is Mr. Trump on Twitter just recently pouring gasoline on the fires of his ignorance.
Nevermind that Mr. Trump’s knowledge of American history seems below that of most grade schoolers. Nevermind that Jackson is not exactly the kind of president, or man, you would want to hold up as an example. And nevermind that there is an implicit criticism of arguably our greatest president, Abraham Lincoln. (It reminds me of his slam against John McCain and how war heroes aren’t captured. Apparently great presidents don’t wage a war to keep the Union together).
These are the rantings of someone who really should be focused on the job of governing. Should we not conclude that he approaches policy decisions with the same half-baked conspiracies with which he apparently approaches history?
To be President of the United States is to part of the great American story. To not understand that story is to not understand the presidency. Maybe Frederick Douglass can give Mr. Trump some advice. Apparently, he’s “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more.” - Dan Rather


I guess you Trumpets are okay with him criticizing Abraham Lincoln.

[AUJarhead]

I hope Sani doesn't see this thread.

[CCTAU]

Lincoln​ was not the saint he is made out to be!

Before the advent of the movie “Truth,” no one would have thought broadcasting a shoddy and immediately discredited report that ruined the careers of the journalists involved and gave their storied network a black eye would make the list.

“Truth” is “All the President’s Men” for reporters who botched their story about the president.

In their perversely titled film, Robert Redford plays Dan Rather, and Cate Blanchet plays Mary Mapes, the erstwhile CBS News anchor and producer who collaborated on a spectacularly flawed September 2004 story about George W. Bush’s National Guard service. Their report should be taught at journalism schools for a long time to come as an object lesson in how not to attempt journalism.

Rather and Mapes sought to prove that Bush got his spot in the National Guard through political favoritism and then went AWOL. They rushed to air with a story that was too good — i.e., too potentially damaging to Bush — to check. It fell apart under the slightest scrutiny, although Rather and Mapes continue to maintain they got it right. Given their dogged resistance to all contrary evidence and their attachment to their pet theory, a better title for the movie would have been “Truthers.”

[Snaggletiger]

Yeah, but Rather wrote something negative about Trump, so does any of that really matter?

[WiregrassTiger]

Seriously.  How can you have any meat?

If you didn't have any pudding.

You've totally outdone yourself here K. Can't wait to give this one a go! The breadcrumbs and onion mix really set it off.

I know Prowler slings a lot of inflammatory copypasta shit...but this was a magnificent display of idiocy from Trump. You can attempt to defend it, or ignore it. Or do the recipe thing. But he's right.

Turkey is something I've recently come around to enjoying. I was fine with it at Thanksgiving, but never really cared for it outside of the holiday.

I'll have to try this one out.

You can also attack one's sexuality. You failed to mention that option.

The trump quote/mishap aside - this ^^ is a true statement.

Lincoln is a discussion I (and I'm sure Sani too) would love to have with prowler. It would be just lovely.
