It’s a busy day, here at the CatBox. The CCC rep told me late yesterday that I have qualified and will get the unit in the Madrona Studios. It should be ready to view next weekend, so WWWendy and I plan a look-see a week from Sunday. I just hope it doesn’t blow up at the last minute… again. Today is a WWWendy Day. She will be coming mid-afternoon and, after we destink the rancid TomCat, we’re having BBQ ribs. Her two Shiatsus, who I have nicknamed Oh and Shit, get the bones. Were this not a Republican Reich, I’d wish you a happy 4th.

Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Donald Trump Hints At Defying Court, Edges Toward Constitutional Crisis
The latest, from what I hear, is that the Fuhrer plans to issue an executive order to add the citizenship question to the census. According to the Republican Reich’s Unitary Executive belief, whatever the Resident does is legal. At the birth of our of our nation, enslaved Blacks were considered subhuman and were not citizens. Nevertheless the census counted them. I guess the racist Republican Reich considers undocumented workers less than subhuman. They are also treating Marbury v. Madison as toilet paper. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Liberal Redneck – Fourth of Julying to Himself
Amen Trey! Flush the Republican Reich! RESIST!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Patriotism v. Nationalism
Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. The Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, practices white nationalism and the politics of fear driven hate. A true patriot loves our nation enough to oppose it, when it strays from our stated values. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Calling it “incredibly exciting news,” President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that his long-planned Fourth of July parade in Washington will include a flyover by Russian Su-24 fighter planes.
“These are beautiful, gleaming Russian planes,” Trump boasted to Tucker Carlson, of Fox News. “I’m the first American President who’s had Russian fighters flying over Washington.”
He said that he finalized the flyover deal while speaking to the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, at the G-20 Summit last week. “Putin said, ‘This is the least we can do, after all you’ve done for us,’ ” Trump said.
Dang, Andy! If this is true I will not be at all surprised. RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Rachel: Really good video, gawd this is awful !! Sadly…..a constitutional crisis by the bogus potus.
Trae: Short and sweet, I’m with you Trae.
RR: Well said, Mr. Reich!
NYer: Yep, that’s pretty much how Putin/dt are holding hands, with hugging flags, and see each other with their world views….
Cartoon: Yep!
Hi, Wendy. YAY for you in getting your unit! Hope that the visit goes good too, next week, and that you like it. Ribs sounds good too for a snack, lol. Hope that you have a good, un-muggy day, take care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in: “It’s been a lousy week for DT, but he can cheer himself up this weekend by watching the soccer match between the US and the Netherlands. I hear that kicking balls is therapeutic. ~ Vicki M. ~
Happy 4th of July, everyone!
6:03 Prickly.
Rachel – “I’ve never heard anything like this.” – Well, I haven’t either … but if someone were able to dig deeply enough through the records of the fascist regimes of the 1930’s something, not the same, but maybe similar. Maybe. But I must say that a case which was about the Census is no longer about the Census any more. It’s about absolute power.
Trae – Yup.
Reich – Yes. This is what they are doing, and this is wrong, wrong, wrong. Analogous to it is Talibangelicals who equate their own twisted doctrines with Christianity, and essentially claim that if you’re a Christian, you can’t be a Christian. Of course they want us to be driven crazy. So it’s working.
TNY – Yes, well. There will also be a Trump Baby blimp flying.
Cartoon – That’s about the size of it.
Rachel: What part of NO doesn’t the idiot understand??? Wish he’d give up.
Trae: Great video.
RR: Right on as usual
TNY: Disgraceful that he has to try and make this special day his. Sorry tRumpy it’s for the ones who served and gave their lives for America, not for you.
Hope you enjoy your BBQ ribs with Wendy, TC.
Still praying that the studio will be yours.
Glad to hear about Madrona!
MSNBC: Holy Batshit, Batman! Joanne is right, this is about a quest for absolute power! If the Orange Ass gets away with this, the U.S. is that much closer to collapse! Hunt and Gardener may turn out to be true American heroes! This just in to my head: If the curt hols him to no census question, watch Dumpy try to sabotage the census entirely. “Elect a Clown, e a circus,” s no longer valid, it’s “Elect an asshole, get shit upon!”
I will be back!
TCC: Nailed it, he did!
RR: Nailed it, as well! Sadly, the folks who need to learn this distinction will not bother to see, or hear about it, probably do not even know who Reich is. “People who think they’ve got things all figured out, are almost always wrong.” Tom Gilovich
New Yorker: Someone has got to keep a close eye on those birds!
‘Toon: They have…it’s a done deal! The Republican governor of Alaska has cut education funding by 40%, which will negatively impact Alaska’s University’s ability to continue research on global warming, even as the Mendenhall Glacier retreats at an accelerating speed. Sanity can be defined as the ability to distinguish between an understanding of evidence based reality, and fantasy, or delusion. If the empty Orange , and his sycophants do not trust science, let’s see them dare the “Theory” of gravity. Of course that would make a mess of the streets adjacent to the buildings from which they would leap, ugh!
WOW! Your move to Madrona sure sounds like SPECTACULAR news!
Keep us updated!
(Can’t remember a 4th of July that I’ve enjoyed LESS. Only good news has been rain … Rain … RAIN!)
Thanks and Hugs to all.
