Trump jokes about nuking San Diego as a small price to pay for "Winning". San Diego hosts the largest US military community in the nation and is home port to the Nimitz class nuclear carrier USS #AbrahamLincoln (stuck at sea by Trump). Trump has zero respect for the sacrifice of US troops.

Goat morning to you

An absurdly beautiful sunrise, with silhouetted trees along the horizon, and bright pink and orange clouds stretching across the blue sky

The same view, slightly later in the morning just as the sun is about to peek above the horizon, with a whole bunch of goats back to eating the corn stalks in a frost-killed garden bed, the same place they were eating a couple of days ago. There's also a floofy white dog in with the goats, and just visible on the edge of the photo is a large yellowish dog overseeing the whole scene.
