It’s another busy day here at the CatBox. WWWendy was a bit late last night, and we had extra stuff to do in preparation for her trip, so I made it to bed about three hours after my normal time, so I slept in an extra hour this morning. She’s stopping by on the way to the airport to drop off my packages that she forgot to bring yesterday. She just came and went. She’ll be gone until Tuesday. I’ve noticed that m heartburn seems to have gotten worse since I started omeprazole and I’ve also had persistent Republicosis and nausea. I looked up side-effects, and there they were. I discontinued taking it with last night’s dose. I don’t know about the Republicosis, but the nausea is gone, and the heart burn is not as bad as it was yesterday. Don’t you hate going to doctor to get sicker? TGIF!!

Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: A nonpartisan study published by the University of Minnesota has found that the nation could save “untold millions” of taxpayer dollars by impeaching Mike Pence at the same time as Donald J. Trump.
The study, entitled “Operation bogo,” makes a compelling case for commencing an impeachment inquiry into Pence “as soon as possible,” its author, Davis Logsdon, said on Thursday.
“The cost of impeaching Trump alone or Trump and Pence together is virtually identical,” Logsdon, an economics professor, said. “This is all about economy of scale.”
“Taxpayers are already paying Adam Schiff to investigate Trump,” he added. “I’m fairly sure Schiff could be persuaded to throw in Pence for free.”
When it comes time to publish articles of impeachment against Trump, Logsdon noted, “It would cost almost nothing in terms of paper or ink cartridges to add the words ‘and Pence, too.’ ”
Amen, Andy! Doesn’t that mean we get to dump two tons of shit for the price of one? RESIST!!

Thanks, Trae. Your normal routines are far better than Bubble Bustin’. I can forgive her for hanging out with Crawford Caligula. Had it been Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten, forget it! RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Yep, pretty much!
NYer: Sounds wonderful to me, go do it, and be done w/them both. lol, Andy.
CNN: Sharp as a whip, imho. Not much gets past Ms. Warren. Spot on!!
Trae: Good point, about sticking together more, as he said, and be more compassionate.
Glad that you are getting the nausea and heartburn to a bearable and tolerable stage, hope that the republicosis goes away…take care, get your rest, have a relaxing evening. Thanks, Tom.

Take care TomCat and stay clear of that nasty medication until something better turns up.Be good whilst WW Wendy is say.
4:47 Moo. (That isn’t Devin Nunes’s Mom is it?)
Well, that tells you not to listen to me. I have never had any problems like yours with omeprazole. I do feel the generic doesn’t work for me quite as well as the brand name does, but nothing like you’re experiencing. Good luck getting it straightened out. I’m sure there’s something that will help.
Cartoon – Yup. He’s the last of the two. But they and other siblings all had kids, so he’s far from the last of the Koch dynasty (they put the “nasty” in dynasty.)
TNY – Sounds good to me.
Liz – Aaaaand – the cherry on the sundae! “If you can find one.” And, of course, she is absolutely right from beginning to end. It’s a good thing no one asked me. I have been coming more and more to believe that the whole LBGTQ thing is the modern church’s Acts 10:28 moment (and I assure you, the church of the day was QUITE shocked by what Peter said – it’s all in Acts 10 going into 11). And i would go farther than LGBTQ into the whole concept of science( but then, I’m not running for office, either.). The churches which have been teaching crap will have a lot to answer to God for.
Trae – I agree – W is a human being who has committed crimes. Orange Judas is a subhuman being masquerading as human. And you can be “friendly” without being a friend.
In Acts 10:28, the word common is better translated as impure, unholy, defiled, or not kosher. ⛪
Yes – exactly. And that is exactly what LGBTQ people are accused of being by (too many) Evangelicals – and it is exactly what they are NOT.
BINGO!
Cartoon: Ain’t that the truth?
TNY: Wonderful news…hope they do. He’s just as guilty as tRump.
CNN: Warren answers it very well.
Sorry to hear that the medication is causing you so many problems. Hope you can contact your doctor and have it changed to another type.
Hope Wendy has a safe trip. That you will be okay till Tuesday.
Take care.
Thanks TomCat
2:42 How now, blond cow.
Cartoon: And isn’t he one of the two brothers who has the nastiest ideas and influence too?
TNY: To be honest with you, Andy, I think Schiff has already taking Pence up in his enquiries, but not for reasons of getting the costs down.
CNN: Liz is really on a roll, isn’t she?! Go for it, girl, keep rolling out those answers with humour and common sense and show how mean-spirited those Talibangelists really are.
Trae: I think he’s absolutely right but that is just from his argumentation because I have no idea what Ellen-incident he’s talking about. And let’s keep it that way
Smart thing to do, TomCat, looking up your new medication and stopping with it if they make matter worse. Hopefully your heartburn will not flare up as badly again until you found a new brand that suits you better.
Cartoon – Yes he is. David, the one who died recently, always looked as if he were constipated. Charles always has the You-Know-What eating grin. Ergo, David may have had a conscience. Charles certainly doesn’t.
Great response, Ms. Warren! Yeah, Mr. Right-Winger, just go marry one woman – if you can find one.
Many important Old Testament figures, including King David and King Solomon, had multiple wives and concubines.
Thanks and weekend Hugs to all!
