It;s a busy day here in the CatBox. WWWendy is coming, and it’s a grocery delivery day. JD, would you please cover Samantha Bee? Tomorrow, I have a visit from the Providence home doctor, so how much I’ll do is still up in the air. Please have a great day!

Trump* Virus Update:
US Cases: 4,102,002
US Deaths: 146,198
World Cases: 15,415,731
World Deaths: 631,164
Trump’s* share of World Deaths: 23.2%
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Trump Tries To Link COVID-19 Surge To Black Lives Matter Protest
Trump* is spreading bullshit, as usual. The BLM protestors wear mask. The reasons for the surge are Republican incompetence, neglect, lies, and super-spreader events. RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Comment): No, this reporter didn’t call Kayleigh McEnany a ‘lying b**ch’
The reporter clearly said, “you don’t want to engage”. However, by not calling Kayleigh Lie-a-lot a “lying bitch”, that reporter really screwed up! She should have! RESIST!!
From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Liberal Redneck – Trump’s Secret Police
I agree, Trae. I live in Portland, and I’ve been calling these Republican stormtroopers Trump’s* Nazi Gestapo since they got here. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from labor): Billy Bragg – There is Power in a Union
Except for unmuzzled Republican Nazi police unions, support labor! RESIST!!
Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom!!

CNN: Yes, she does lie, just like dt. ugh.
LR: Like Trae’s beard. Good video. Love the Moms!! They ROCK & RULE !!
BB: Good song.

TJI #5 – That’s for sure.
Hope you caught Randy yesterday. He’s a gem.

AND Trump added: “If you get it in order, you get extra points.”
PLUS a cookie from the Proctor.
LOL! Or maybe an extra scoop of ice cream?
Cartoon: Love my ice cream.
TVU: Scary indeed. Like there isn’t an end in sight.
MSNBC: tRump finally admitting that it’s going to get worse, before it gets better. Too bad that he didn’t think that way in January when he was calling it “Fake News”.
CNN: I can’t stand listening to her speak. She doesn’t make one bit of sense with her foolish lies and mixed up answers to the reporters questions.
LR: Great video. tRump’s secret police need to be stopped and they should be prosecuted for their evil acts of violence on the people.
BFTP: Great song.
Glad it’s finally Thursday and that Wendy will be coming over. Hope she had a nice trip and visit with her family. Tell her “Hello and Welcome back” for me.
Good luck with your visit tomorrow morning with the home doctor.
Have a great day. Take care.
Thanks TomCat
I got my grocery delivery yesterday, and, after putting them away, overslept. But I’ll get Sam up eventually. Today.
Don Winslow
Really American
RVAT
Lincoln Project Tweet (wasn’t on YouTube when I looked)
Robert Reich
Cartoon – Yum.
Map – 5 million cases by the first of next month is not impossible, though I hope not.
MSNBC – What I would believe is that a major motive for his criminal inaction on CoViD-19 is to make so many people so ill that the number of protesters will “disappear – like magic.” I’m sure it wouldn’t do any good to tell him that’s not how it works.
CNN – Another phrase which is easily misinterpreted is “Do you suffer much?” I had a class on Special Ed in which the teacher used it to great effect to demonstrate the shortcomings of lip reading. And that tone can be communicated through lip reading, which can also be amusing. I think she said exactly the right thing but I thing her tone may have said the other.
Trae – If you hadn’t, I would have. Brilliant.
Past – Oh theirs power in those too. Their problem is too much power and too little humanity.

The last one w/Donovan.. is very sad, but we need to see his wounds and see the truth in how it is.
Praying for his recovery. So very sad.
Thank you, Joanne for getting these out here.
Shameful to see such violence/abuse done to an activist.
I too will be praying that he recovers.
Thanks Joanne
Thank you for putting all those anti-Trump videos out there, Joanne and especially for the Resist of Donavan La Bella. We should never allow ourself to forget what happened to him, indeed not allow ourselves to look away from the (lasting) damage done to a peaceful protester.
One of the very first things Kayleigh McEnema said during her very first press conference:
“I will never lie to you. You have my word on that”
And she was off to a great start!
I could feel the happiness about WWWendy’s return emanating from the comment, TomCat. Welcome back, WWWendy!
3:41 I was never able to run that fast.
Cartoon: Bring it back, much better than all those plastic containers.
Update: No matter what colour, it all looks bleak.
MSNBC: Sure the surge in Texas and in Florida is down to BLM protests; sure I can see that.
CNN: So Faux News tried to blow this up and failed. The fact that they heard her say it, says it all.
TC: Nobody but Trea can summarize the whole situation as well in 2:19 minutes AND with such a lovely drawl.
BFTP: I seem to recollect this in an heavy English Cockney accent.
Thanks and Way Late TGIF Hugs to all!
