It’s a cool day here at the CatBox, and I’m loving it. I want to get as much rest as I can, because I’m burned out, and Monday is my semi-annual eye torture.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:45 (average 4:56). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Religious Ecstasy:
Since this was the dress rehearsal for regular season, I was quite pleased with the way my Broncos dominated the game. Here is one of my favorite plays:
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Representative Duncan D. Hunter Throws His Wife Under The Bus
Given Fuhrer Drumphenfarten’s love of copying other misogynists, someone had better check Melania for tire tracks. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From YouTube (Media Matters Channel): Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show is a cesspool of white nationalist rhetoric
Barf Bag Alert!!
What else would you expect from the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda, Faux Noise? RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From The New Yorker: In an interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Donald Trump boasted that, if he is impeached, the television ratings will be higher than those of any other impeachment in history.
“Everywhere I go, people tell me that if I am impeached, they’re going to watch it,” he said. “The ratings are going to be through the roof.”
He said that he expected his impeachment ratings to be “many, many times” the size of the audience for Bill Clinton’s impeachment, in 1998.
“It’s not even going to be close,” Trump said. “The ratings for Bill Clinton’s impeachment were a joke.
Dang Andy! If he’s right, that’s fine with me! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

Give them three ones. Sheeple are stupid.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
5:08 Pretty in pink.
I saw this in a comment on Raw Story yesterday, and I kinda couldn’t not share.
MSNBC – I wonder if he thinks his story will be believed. I suppose it will depend on the jury. But he certainly has a pattern of betrayal which she doesn’t appear to, from what was presented here.
Fox – Frankly I am so fed up with Wypipo I would be thrilled beyond words if my community became majority Black. Latino would be OK too. (I know how Tfucker Carlson stays on Fox. How does Shep Smith manage?)
TNY – That certainly is the way he thinks!
Cartoon – When a dude in a john asks for change that’s a con, that’s a – Republican. (And a stupid one, in this case.)
This just in … So THIS is why Net Neutrality is REALLY important.
Pretty sure the “fungible” attributes of the four ones for a five were not going to be put to a monetary use – but a more … hmmm … practical one.
Sort of like Elaine in Seinfeld’s famous “The Stall” episode, with her iconic line: “I don’t have a square to spare.”
(But still stupid – you just never know when you might need that fifth … hmmm … application.)
The story from Raw Story made me cry. Fortunately, we have so many people like those who offered to help, but too many like the cashier.
It made a lot of people cry, myself included. Sorry I forgot the Kleenex alert.
That cashier should be fired.
And in reality, might well be. Both the “customer” and the “cashier” were actors. (At one point the “cashier” had to have a line fed to her because she wasn’t being nasty enough, so she likely isn’t like that really.)
Good to see the horsies back in the Win column, even in the pre-season.
High TV ratings for an impeachment? Somebody should have reminded tRump to be careful what you wish for in case you get it.
I can’t help but gloat as I watch the insane-in-all-the-wrong-ways tRump regime implode. Hell the entire Rethuglicanazi party is imploding. The next few months, and the next few years, are going to be interesting times.
MSNBC: Well, that should teach Mrs. Hunter never to marry a Republican again, especially not one with political aspirations. Not only do they cheat on you, as most power-drunk politicians seem to do, they also don’t hesitate for one second to blame you for their financial ‘escapades’ either.
MM: Wow, after watching only part of that I realised that we can’t blame Drumpf for the 7.5 lies he tells each day. He’s just parroting Tucker who, in the little segment I watched, hasn’t told one truth. By parroting the lies of Tucker and his friends at Faux News without any thought on what he’s actually repeating, Drumpf has turned South-Africans, Scandinavian countries and most of the rest of the world against America. How can Congress allow this to happen?
TNY: ??? If this “silver lining” is all it takes to make Drumpf happy, what are the Republicans waiting for?!
Cartoon: Wouldn’t give them the time of day.
Phucker Carlson either knows he’s a racist, and is just out-and-out lying …
OR Phucker Carlson honestly doesn’t realize he’s a racist, because he’s just that stupid!
Then again, there’s really no reason he couldn’t be both.
Criminal, misogynistic cad screws up & blames his wife…… yup i’ve been there too!!!
Tucker the TOSSER ? sickening BS!!!
John McCain passed away Saturday morning, 25 August 2018 just 4 days short of his 82nd birthday.
From the NY Times: John McCain, a Maverick We Can Learn From
From The Canadian Press: War hero and presidential candidate John McCain dies at 81
Rest in peace John McCain. Prayers or thoughts for his family as they grieve his loss.
See today’s lead.
Puzzle — 4:37 I like roses, especially pink ones.
MSNBC — So who was it that ran for office . . . Duncan Hunter? I am going to assume that since candidates must put a disclosure that they approved the message on their advertising, they are also responsible for the activities of their campaigns. It really sounds like he is demonstrating his Republican family values. Throwing your wife under the bus? IOKIYAR!!! Again, those Republican family values!
Media Matters — “White Nationalism Is A Bigger Threat Than Jihadism” — Probably the only truth on that clip and that is the name of a book not written by Tucker Carlson. What a non-sensical troll!
The New Yorker — Of course his crowd will be bigger! At least 75% of those watching will be rooting for impeachment, but Diaper Don is too clueless to comprehend that! I think Andy is on the verge of straight reporting again.
Cartoon — Why not one $3 bill and one $2 bill? That is specifically for sheeple! (I have a “US” $3 bill in my wallet.)
OMG, it rained all day!!!
Yes Duncan Hunter.
That was a rhetorical question . . . in other words, it was not his wife that ran for office.
Trump thinks he is the reason the sun comes up!
Thanks and hugs to all!
