It’s a busy day for me, because I’m waiting for a grocery delivery from Store to Door. When they arrive, I’ll stop writing, put them away, make lunch and eat. Then I’ll finish writing, publish, and do my online blogging. This evening Wendy is coming to de-stink the TomCat. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update from me. I have a medical appointment for a cortisone shot in my left hand. That hurts almost as bad as watching a Republican win, but so does the trigger finger it will correct. I will be back on Friday.

Today’s took me 3:34 (average 5:10). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (GQ Channel): Is Donald Trump Paying Hush Money?
Consider how cheap Trump is. He grips a quarter so tight that the eagle shits. He must be desperate. RESIST!!
From YouTube (RWW Channel): Rick Wiles Says A Foreign Army Will Invade America If We Don’t Shut Down Planned Parenthood
Barf Bag Alert!!
If you listen carefully, you can hear the voices Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians proclaiming their affirmation: BAAA-A-A-A-A! RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Donald Trump cancelled his entire schedule on Tuesday to focus all his energy on choosing an insulting nickname for the Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, aides have confirmed.
Trump rejected his first attempt at a demeaning moniker for the senator, “liddle’ Bob Corker,” because he felt that he had used the “liddle’ ” construction too much in the past and feared that it was getting old.
“The President has very high standards for the insulting nicknames he uses,” an aide explained. “He was not about to settle for ‘liddle’.’ ” Trump thought he had a winner when he came up with “Corker the Porker,” until aides pointed out that the Republican senator from Tennessee has an average physique, to which such an insult would not accurately apply.
Come on Andy! You KNOW he divided the day between Bob Corker and Jeff Flake. RESIST!!

So much for God’s opinion!

Keith # 139 – Now, that’s one thing I simply CANNOT hope for anyone implicated in any of Trump’s cosa nostra – better lawyers. No, I am hoping for creeps who are poster children for the word “shyster.” And just barely competent enough not to let anything pass which might invalidate any verdicts (although, for a trump minion, that might actually be competence.) I will reserve my “better lawyers” hope for the prosecutors.
Wiles – Hmmmph. She already did, but it was done digitally. And it surely was NOT because of Planned Parenthood. More likely because of lies told (and sold) in Her name.
TNY – Facepalm.
Cartoon – Exactly.
KO: He’s been nervous, or is it the delirium?? that makes him continue to talk or tweet about this. Can’t wait till this opens up, and the investigations begin….
BBA: UGH!
NYer: LOL !!!
Cartoon: Amen!!
Best to you as you get your shot. Hope that you have a good evening, HI WENDY! Enjoy your evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.*Anybody watching the World Series? I am.
Keith Olbermann #139: There’s no doubt in my mind that Drumpf is paying the legal fees of others in his team now under investigation from Mueller, and there can be no doubt that this is also known as “hush money”. But I do doubt that Keith is right on one point though: that hush money isn’t coming out of Drumpf’s pocket, it is tax-payer’s money. If not directly taken from the coffers on Capitol Hill, Drumpf has either amassed it through his additional incomes out of his business empire he continues exploiting as “president”, at Mar-a-lago for instance, or through the millions of dollars he has cost the tax-payers for his weekends at his golf courses. Yes, because he is that cheap, TomCat.
RWW:
TNY: It took Drumpf most of the day to come up with the apostrophe right after “liddle’ ” when all his other nicknames fell through. Imagine how exhausting that was for a man-child with the attention span of a two-year-old low on Ritalin. Flake then tearing him one must have floored Drumpf for a week. No nickname for Flaky, I’m afraid.
The best of luck with your cortisone shot tomorrow, TomCat. Sounds unpleasantly painful and nothing to look forward to.
I’m impressed – the picture shows the correct paw!
But the kitty isn’t on the ceiling.
Look at the screen behind the kitty and you see I’ve mirrored it
Puzzle — 3:46 I ran out of time.
YouTube — “He grips a quarter so tight that the eagle shits.” — Ain’t that the truth! I have said this before, Drumpf is his own worst enemy — a true enemy of the people!
RWW — And for those who do not believe in right wing pseudo Christianity????? My message to Wiles:
The New Yorker — How about one for Drumpf, Andy? Orange Ogre, Drumpfenfarten, Asshole, although that could apply to almost any Republican. How about Liar-in-Chief? Other suggestions?
Cartoon — Spot on!
I think I caught your Republicitis, or Republicosis, I can’t remember the definitions. Anyway, I was up all night in the loo so didn’t get any sleep. I cancelled all activities and instead slept. I am tired but at least my gut feels better. Good luck with the cortisone shot. They are never fun.
I have a list of 83 nicknames for Drumpf and counting. You say he’s his own worst enemy? Not while I’m alive! Anyway, The one most people are LOLing at right now is “The B-hole*”
*because he doesn’t have what it takes to be an A-hole
Republicosis.
Get well soon!
Thanks all. Tired, pained hugs!
