It’s a chilly morning here in the CatBox, but it promises to be hot late this afternoon and this evening. It’s a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb. On the Day of Acolytes, Teams pick Orb worshippers from college to meditate with them. My Broncos pick 10th.

Today’s took me 2:59 (average 4:04). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (CNN Channel): 1998 interview comes back to haunt William Barr
Barrf has not changed. The difference is that Ken Starr was investigating a Democrat. Barrf is Barrf forever. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Jesse Dollemore Channel): Trump Wants Supreme Court to Intervene if Democrats Vote to Impeach. (THAT’S NOT HOW THAT WORKS!)
What an idiot! SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional VD) can’t save him. His best bet is Bought Bitch Mitch and Lindsey Poo. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Donald J. Trump was reportedly “furious” on Wednesday morning after a purge of right-wing bots by Twitter left him with a total of fourteen remaining followers, aides have confirmed.
Rising at 3 a.m. to engage in one of his trademark early-morning tweetstorms, Trump was incensed to discover that his Twitter following had plummeted from more than forty-eight million to a little more than a dozen.
At Twitter headquarters, in San Francisco, a company spokesman confirmed that Trump had indeed lost 48,076,920 followers in the bot purge. “It turned out that over forty-six million of the President’s followers came from a single troll farm in Macedonia,” the spokesman said.
As of Wednesday, Trump’s fourteen remaining Twitter followers included his daughter Ivanka; his sons Eric and Donald, Jr.; several White House aides; and someone named Heinrich Himmler III.
Dang, Andy! Isn’t that fourteen too many? RESIST!!

4:03 All shipshape.
CNN – Do they think no one pays attention? (Granted that most people don’t, but it only takes one journalist to bring something out)? Or do they not care (most likely)?
Jesse – Would anyone be surprised if, when he appointed elderly Beavis and elderly Butthead to the Court, he thought he was appointing impeachment insurance all along? I know I wouldn’t.
TNY – ROFLMAO! I wish that were true! Alas, a cursory glance at the news any given day (or taking the “Florida man challenge”) will disprove it.
Cartoon – Yeah – and they don’t even appreciate the sunsets.
This just in from John Pavlovitz – “In the Bible, religious people ended up abandoning God and mindless worshiping a golden calf. It isn’t surprising, that so many of them are now bowing down to an orange jackass.”
LMAO!!
CNN: Barr(f) should have known that anything he said like that would come back to haunt him. I hope this really bites him in the arse.
JDC: Cheat-oh is totally clueless about how government works. He isn’t fit to clean poo from the Washington PD dog runs!
Cartoon: That’s Republicans, all right. When everything comes crashing down, they’ll all hide in their underground bunkers. Good news: They’ll have to come out eventually. And what will they find? No matter how you slice it, a world that has no place for them.
CNN: Good reporting! Barf has only perfected his methods to suit himself, and cover for the boss. imo.
Jesse: Good educational video, I agree.
NYer: omg, this is hilarious! If only it were so. Unfortunately, I feel for those 14 people though. lol
Cartoon: So sad. What a dismal place to see, and leave for our children/grandchildren.
Speaking of football, my son gave me a 2019 Prism football card of J.J. Watt. I have it in hard plastic on my computer desk. Suh-weet! Good luck w/your Broncos on the pick.
Hope that you have a relaxing day, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

*Joanne, good quote from John P. So true!!
AG Barr: If we can count on the Rethuglicans for anything, it’s their endless hypocrisy.
CNN: Barr is in that office only because he is just the kind of scum Drumpy wants there. I know nothing about Moore, but if he has been chosen by POTUSh**hole,he is automatically suspect, in my book.
Dollemore: “Pony keg!” I love it! That Dumpness does not understand how the government works, is no surprise. I doubt he knows how the Boy Scouts works. Does Dumpness think he can run to SCOTUS, and threaten to withhold their federal paychecks, if they don’t kiss up? If they don’t change the laws in his favor/
New Yorker: HH lll will probably be his staunchest ally!
CNN: When will they ever learn??? Like his leader….never since they are both brainless.I gree with Freya that I hope it bites him good.
Jesse: tRump is an idiot. He has nobody to help him….poor tRumpy.
TNY: tRump must of been having chest pains when he seen the numbers that low. Hilarious.
Hope you enjoy the NFL picks tonight.
2:48 Easy sailing, even though it wasn’t a yacht.
CNN: Does it matter what Barrf said twenty years ago? Drumpf has given him a job to do as AG and he’s doing it, blatantly and bias blazing. He’s not kicked out for that, so why bother with 20 years ago. Better to watch what he’s doing in the future as “independent” AG on Drumpf’s orders.
JD: Drumpf considers himself king and above the law, so why should he bother with governmental procedures? He’s both dumb and arrogant, and topped with a large dose of dementia that makes a very dangerous cocktail. Thank Goodness that the founding fathers have provided for people like him with an impeachment procedure.
TNY: Splendid satire! Though I already had a ROTFLMAO when I read that Drumpf had ordered the Twitter bosses in to explain why he had lost more than 200,000 followers after having tweeted first that the purge was biased. I wouldn’t put it past him that he’s demanded the right-wing bots were returned, and for good measure were doubled in number.
Cartoon: What pollution indeed. If these were Monsanto’s (now Bayer) pipes, they’d tell you they produced beneficial, healthy fumes according to their research.
Thanks and pooped TGIF Hugs!
Puzzle — 5:11 I am in really deep water!
CNN — Barrf to have changed? Does a leopard change its spots? Give me a leopard any day over Barrf!
Dollemore — AMEN!!! Somebody send this to the Dark Lord — it is in video format in plain English so even he could possibly understand it and have the attention span to learn . . . although I am not holding my breath! He took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution but he has no understanding of it.
The New Yorker — LMAO!!! I doubt the boys and Ivanka would drop the old Dark Lord’s association on Twitter. The rest makes perfect sense to me.
Cartoon — There is pollution and then there is pollution. The pollution in the picture is fixable, difficult, but fixable. The Republican pollution in the Congress is quite a different matter. The only fix there is political extinction!
Sorry, fell asleep at the keyboard last night. It has been a very busy week. Hope all is well!
