It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. I fought for an hour over sluggish response while typing, before I finally figured out the batteries in my keyboard were bad and changed them. I scheduled another Pet Scan for early next month. And I had to spend 45 minutes on the throne to vacate all the Republicans infesting me. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update or an Open Thread. WWWendy will be here. Woooo Hoooo!! We have lots to do. In addition, it’s a grocery delivery day. Happy Hump Day!

Short Takes:
From YouTube (Late Show Channel): Greta Thunberg: Humanity Is “Setting Fire To The Boat” Instead Of Facing The Climate Crisis
The first time I saw Greta, I called her an international hero. Each subsequent time, I become more convinced of that truth. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): SPREADIN’ THROUGH THE AIR
Amen Don! Here in the US, criminal Fuhrer Trump* murdered over 1,000 yesterday with his plague, Trump* virus. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from labor): Tom Morello. A Union Song
Except for unmuzzled Nazi police unions, support labor! RESIST!!
Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
BBA: I have a hard time listening to him. People dying by large numbers from covid. dt doesn’t lead or offers sympathy. He doesn’t care.
NBC: Biden delivers and speaks the truth. How refreshing and so down to earth.
oops, I messed up. This should be on the ‘The Fuhrer’s Briefing on his Plague.’
My bad.
Yay for WWWendy! I’m getting my groceries delivered today. We’ll see how much is missing.
These ads are all from yesterday and last night. Anything new will have to wait till tomorrow.
RVAT
Aaa-n-d RVAT #2 yesterday
Really American
Meidas Touch
Meidas Touch on Christopher David
But I had to sneak in a Randy Rainbow –
Cartoon –
Map – … Zero. And I doubt it’ll take as long to get from 4 to 5 as it did from 3 to 4. nd they won’t all die, but many will, and those who don’t may have a wide range of quality of life issues life long.
Greta – And she’s right.
Other PP & TFT – Yippee! another parody!
Past – Thanks again!
The attack on the Navy vet was so immensely outrageous! One of my best friends, now deceased, was a navy/Army veteran, who served 20 years. I could see him doing just what Christopher David did, my buddy even looked somewhat like David.
I’d truly appreciate your evaluation of site that claims to be a resource for ALL anti-Trump videos.
No doubt they’ll miss some – but I wonder what your thoughts are WRT this site:
https://vids2020.com/
I checked it out, and it seemed OK as a time-saving resource for videos that are already easy to find, but it misses more than it has.
Cartoon: Rat catcher’s day. Good!
TVU: Haven’t checked today, but I’m sure that they are the same, or worse yet, … rising.
Late Show: How refreshing to see Greta. This young lady is definitely going places. Keep up the good work!
PPC: Word.
Tom Morello: Great! song!!
Sounds like you have everything under control, Tom. So glad to read that WWWendy w/be there tomorrow, do tell her I said HI! for me. Hope that you have a good rest of your day, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
This just in: The Goya news cycle continues. “You would think Trump might have more important things to do with his time, but apparently not.” ~ John C. ~
2. “A party divided cannot stand. The only good thing Trump has done is to completely destroy the (R) party, which of course, is a silver lining to the madness of the Donald.” ~ Alice R. ~
3. “Liz Cheney should invite them (R’s) up to the ranch to go bird hunting with her pop.” ~ Alice R. ~
4. “DeSantis had a round table at noon the other day. Noting was said about 58 hospitals being topped out, even by hospital reps. Nothing about schools or increase of cases now.” ~ Lin M. ~
5. “dt dislikes pets. Unless they’re named Mike and Lindsey.” ~ Brian J. ~
TJI’s are all good, and I love the Cheney reference. It would justify the war criminal’s continuing existence!
DeSantis is showing himself to be a clone of Rick Scott crossed with Donnie!
TJI #@ – It’s a lining. I’ll wait and see what metal to call it after I see what happens to his supporters.
‘Toon: Unelect the rats!!
TVU: REPENT THE END IS NEIGH! (snark)
Greta: What a marvelous example of intelligence and caring! If the path to the image of our having set the planet on fire was not prearranged, she certainly lost no time in making the connection.
Parody Project: Soooo good!
Union song: Really can’t make it out, but I love it by definition!
Cartoon: I agree with Mitch, that the R’s get voted out of office.
TVU: It’s insane. California has now surpassed NY.
Greta: Love watching her.
PPC: Scary to see how the virus spreads in the air. Wish people would pay attention about how important wearing masks are.
BFTP: Great tune.
Hope you had a better day. Tell Wendy “hello” and welcome back, tomorrow.
Went to take impressions today. The surgery is on Sept 15th at 8 AM. They will place a temporary type implant, to get my mouth use to wearing. It won’t have the back/wisdom teeth. They will check/adjust the fitting every few weeks, for the next 6 months. Then by March 2021, they will put the permanent implant in that will have the back/wisdom teeth. I feel better knowing they aren’t going to be doing a rush job. Thanks again for your caring words. Truly appreciate the prays.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Don’t you hate those days when everything else except you seems sluggish? 😊
2:57 I love raptors.
Cartoon: He did so in 2016 too but his tune is getting rancid so the rats may not follow this year.
Update: That map and those figures are too horrible to contemplate.
LS: Greta was the best thing to happen in 2019 and her fight had become the fight of a rapidly growing movement. Even the first outbreak of COVID-19 couldn’t keep millions of the street to protest, but the pandemic now has given governments who had pledged themselves to a sustainable planet and to fighting climate change away out by focussing on the economy and the millions of people out of a job. Where I had hoped that countries and leaders would come out better in caring for both people and environment, they seem to be hell-bent in restoring it to the old, destructive and inhumane order.
PP: One of the best uses of Dylan’s Blowin’ In The Wind I’ve heard lately. Great text, great production.
Thanks and Rushed Hugs to all!
