Summer has come early to the CatBox. It’s still cool now, but the forecast high this afternoon is 75°. It may get too warm here, as my O2 concentrator sheds heat. I hope your day is Republican-free.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 2:54 (average 4:10). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Uninvited: GOP Representative Flip-Flips On Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
I love it when Republicans step in dawg crap and put their feet in their mouths. RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): North Korea tests ‘tactical’ weapon, report says
I wonder what Resident Rump Dump will give away to Kim this time. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: After putting in what one associate called a “hellish all-nighter,” the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, is almost finished redacting Robert Mueller’s report in time for its release, on Thursday.
Earlier in the week, the U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, submitted the approximately four-hundred-page document to Putin for his approval, but the Russian President was reportedly “in a state of disbelief” over how much Barr had failed to redact.
Quickly assembling a crisis team at the Kremlin to implement further redactions, Putin told his associates, “Put some coffee on, boys—it’s going to be a long night.”
Dang, Andy! You nailed it! RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
MSNBC: Nothing like eating your words! Mr. Rep Barr. Go AOC!
CNN: Scary times. I’m not confident on dt’s negotiation skills, re: NK, and Un. He has none, imo.
NYer: As only Andy can write, how it really went down. lol
Cartoon: Seriously! Word.
I hope that you have a good day too, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
CNN is reviewing the Mueller report now, and as staff read it, they post highlights here.

5:26 He looks like he’s having fun.
MSNBC – don’t they do that every time they open their mouths?
CNN – Anyone surprised?
TNY – Yeah, pretty well
Cartoon – They already came (and saw and conquered, alas.)
I wonder if that North Korean weapon really is so dangerous – or if it’s more bark than bite. Kim loves to dick around Cheat-oh. But are we surprised that other countries are jerking our chain, when we have jerked the chains of other countries for decades? Where does the daisy chain end?
I don’t think it’s at all dangerous. Kim is yanking the chain Melania can’t find.
Can’t find? Do you think she is even looking?
I should have said, “is glad she can’t find.”
MSNBC: Rep. Barr may have just opened a door he will be sorry for even pointing to! I hope she goes there, and to Kentucky, Luisiana, and more!
CNN: Dumpy did such a wonderful job of negotiating when he met with the Koreans, he is just the World Class Negotiator Non-Pariel!
New Yorker: So, A.G. Barr is the rancid spot on Dumpy’s brown nose work with {Putin.
Ha Ha all those big bad rethugs, so scared of little AOC!!! Love it!!!
‘tactical guided weapons fire test’?!?!?!?
WTF!?!?
3:46 A new mouse couldn’t save this little one from your mouth, TomCat.
MSNBC: 🤣😜 This Andy Barr sure did put his foot in it, he can’t even flip-flop properly. Barr withdrawing his invitation to AOC as a courtesy? Hilarious.
CNN: Drumpf was right about one thing: Kim Jong-un is very smart. And obviously listens to his advisers who tell him that Drumpf is under pressure in the US. So Kim has added a little pressure of his own: he made it known that he was experimenting successfully with new ‘tactical’ weapons and now has told the American administration he no longer wants to deal with Pompeo (who openly opposes lifting sanctions). The ball is now in the court of the ‘Great Deal Maker’ again. Will he still maintain that making a deal with North Korea is a cinch?
TNY: Is there nothing this Administration can do right? ‘“I have to do everything for these people,” he [Putin] reportedly said.’ Sorry, Mr. Putin. You knew Drumpf can’t read or write and that he only hires the most atrocious personnel. 😁
Cartoon: I doubt if they would ever wanted to come. Interfere, destabilize, bring chaos? Yes. But, then come and have to deal with what they’ve wrought and clean up the mess? Nah.
MSNBC: Just like their foolish master, they’re getting good at putting their foot into their mouth.
CNN: Agree with Lona, Kim loves testing/teasing tRump. What get me is tRump hasn’t tweeted one thing about this. Makes me wonder?
TNY: Spot on Andy. He sure does know bArr/pUtin and tRump well..
Cartoon: Yep they came and we’ve been suffering ever since.
Thanks and pooped TGIF Hugs to all.
Puzzle — 4:54 Just hanging around!
MSNBC — Republicans are afraid of AOC because she is smart and articulate . . . definitely smarter than they are. Stepping in “dawg crap” — LMAO!!!
CNN — Stay tuned. More news at 11:00. Nothing good is likely to come of this with Trump involved.
The New Yorker — LMAO! That sounds about right.
Cartoon — Vini, Vidi, Vici works well for this! (my old high school motto)
I kept doing a face plant at the keyboard before I could finish my comment yesterday. I did not even make it to church this morning because I slept so soundly and long. Even my furbabes did not wake me for their breakfast!
