It’s a busy day here in the CatBox with lots of chores to finish. Tomorrow is a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. My 2-3 Broncos are hosting the undefeated Rams. The game will not be televised here, because the damn Seachickens are playing at the same time. May the Holy Orb shine its light on your team, unless they say baa-a-a-a-a-a-a.

Today’s took me 3:04 (average 5:50). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Seator [sic] Elizabeth Warren Hits Back At John F. Kelly Insult
Impolite and arrogant is the only feasible way for a woman (or man) to react to the Republican Reich. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From Daily Kos: Republicans like Collins always accuse their opponents of their own crimes and misdeeds. So when Collins called the crowdraising fund dedicated to ousting her for voting “yes” on Kavanaugh an attempt to bribe her sorry ass, we can only suppose it’s because the amount was simply too small to take seriously. She’d apparently already accepted a bribe from some dark money group that was much more lucrative…
…Susan Collins Gets ‘Six Figure’ Payback From Dark Money Group After Voting ‘Yes’ On Kavanaugh
A “dark money” group that spent millions promoting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation effort announced on Tuesday that it’s rewarding Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) with a new “six-figure TV and digital ad campaign” in support of her re-election after she voted for Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
The group, Judicial Crisis Network, issued a press release expressing its gratitude to Collins for her “yes” vote.
Now we know the rest of the story. Collins sold her vote for $100,000 or more. Vote her out in 2020. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From The New Yorker: One day after Melania Trump pronounced herself “the most bullied person in the world,” millions of American voters vowed to put an end to her suffering in 2020.
In interviews across the country, sympathetic voters promised to do everything in their power to insure that, as of November, 2020, Melania would no longer be the target of the vicious bullying that has made her the most persecuted human on the planet.
“I never realized just how much she was suffering as First Lady,” Carol Foyler, a voter in Lansing, Michigan, said. “It’s up to us as voters to rescue her.”
Dang Andy! When Trump loses in 2020, I’m sure he’ll give her a job producing urine and speaking with a Russian accent, since Putin [R-RU] will cut-off his entertainment benefits. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

5:46 Too much orange.
Joy – it’s just projection. They do that all the time. However, it’s led to a neat T-shirt –
DKos – Projection, projectioion, projection.
TNY – Yes, everyone is having a lot of fun with this, and yes, whe is definitely exaggerating. But in view of the fact that she is married to one of the world’s biggest bulliers, there probably is some standing to her claim to be one of the world’s most bullied.
Cartoon – Brian Fischer writing your cartoons now? (I know, I know, he’s not that smart, but he does live in opposite world.)
Love the new t-shirts. Have a look in the link above:
With our “Impolite Arrogant Woman” t-shirt on, no man will be able to shut you up – not even Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff John Kelly. Union-printed in the U.S.

“5:46 Too much orange.”
I have just the solution …
Love it!
Always in the back of my mind when I see too much orange.
MSNBC: Love Ms. Warren. She is the perfect example for women to Stand UP, and be heard !!!
DK: Yep, pretty much sums her up. Pathetic!!!
NYer: Shame that we have to wait till 2020 for this to happen. See my ‘This just in’ for another comment.
We play the BBills at 1pm tomorrow. Good luck with your guys too. We are at 86 degrees as of right now, but come Monday we’ll be at low of 62/47. Crazy! Hope you get your chores done and then relax. Have a good evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in: Melania Trump thinks she’s the most bullied person in the world. Meanwhile…they called Michelle Obama “Ape”, won’t stop screaming ‘Lock her Up!’ at Hillary Clinton, and Christine Ford still can’t live at home because of all the death threats. ~ Other98 ~
*This just in: #2: “Don’t Lie To Me” music video written and directed by Barbra Streisand from her new album WALLS, available everywhere November 2.

Barbra Streisand: Lovely song and visual video. i used to like Barbara until she made a big stink on not getting the Academy Award for her role in “Yentl”. I lost respect for her at that time.
.
Wow! Thanks.
The kid from Flatbush, Brooklyn, done good!!
Thank you for sharing this excellent song and video by Babs dear Pat.
Magnificent!
Sadly, he and his base can see perfectly well that we are crying. They love it. They live for it.. And they sleep just fine.
MSNBC: Glad that Elizabeth Warren stood up to Bought Bitch Mitch McConnell and to John F. Kelly Insult. Liz gets right out there voicing her voice and opinion. Kudos to Liz! McConnell & Kelly are a pair of old white men misogynists.
JOY & DK: The people in Maine need to get Susan Collins, R-Maine, out of office for her role in her traitorous support of Bret Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh is the worst justice ever named and promoted to this “highest court” in the country. A shame! Get Collins out and “lock her up”.
NYer: Yep, Melania Trump may be promoting the “bully” story around the world and maybe not realizing that she is constantly being bullied by her very own burlier named Drumpf. There are times when I felt sorry for her especially during the inauguration. Drumpf ignored her.
Cartoon: “Ain’t white enough”… sigh…
.
MSNBC: Yay, Warren!!!!!
DK: Judicial Crisis Network: The organization was founded in 2005 to promote the judicial appointees of then president George W. Bush.[3] Fundraiser and lawyer Ann Corkery, along with California real estate magnate Robin Arkley II, were key to the beginning of the organization.[4]
The current leader is Carrie Severino.[5][6] She was previously a law clerk to United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and to Judge David B. Sentelle of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[7] She is a contributor to National Review.[8][9]
Severino received her J.D. degree from Harvard Law School, where she was a student while Elena Kagan was dean.[10] Severino has been involved with constitutional challenges to the Affordable Care Act.[11][12]
So, what we have here is one bunch of asses supporting other asses, as can be expected.
New Yorker: Poor baby, it would only be the kind, compassionate thing to do to remove her from the “…white hot spotlight!”
‘Toon: Too sadly true for them.
MSNBC: We need an Elizabeth Warren in every state.
DKos: Maine needs to vote her out in 2020. I think after this Kava-nazi confirmation, they will.
TNYer: Andy is doing straight reporting again. LOL
Thank you for the https://fixthecourt.com/ link JLA.
Enjoy your Weekend TomCat
MSNBC: I like JL got my email from Ms Warren showing all the T-shirts and bags to buy. I’m proud of her voicing her opinion back to rYan and the bi*ch mItch. Sick of these as*hole talking trash of her. Just like this furious leader speaking trash of Dianne Feinstein at his rally the other night. All idiots.DK: I hope they do get rid of money grabber Susan Collins, R-Maine,she had no right being paid to vote for the creep bk. Makes me think of he mob with their big payoffs.NY: I was surprised to hear Melania mention that she’s bullied. Feel she’s exaggerating quite a bit. I feel she needs to lecture tRump on how to treat people with respect, not to bully and mistreat them like he does.Hope the Broncos win tomorrow.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
MSNBC: Elizabeth Warren is a role model for all women. Always eloquent, but “rude” when talked down to by old white misogynistic farts, taking their feeble and cowardly punches as they come, parrying them but never letting them get away with it.
DK: We all knew Collins was promised something in return for her ‘yes’ vot on Kavanaugh, now we know what it was. She let her vote go cheap, didn’t she? I expect to see a Democratic ad soon reminding voters where exactly the money for her own ads came from.
TNY: Obviously Andy was feeling just as sorry for poor “most bullied person in the world” Melania as I was. The egocentricity of the whole Drumpf family knows no parallel in history and wife numbr three fits right in there with the best of them.
Thanks all. Hugs! ?
