It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. Yesterday, I felt so wiped out that I went back to bed right after my shower. WWWendy woke me up to feed me a small lunch, and I slept until suppertime. Today, Diana came to change my patch, because WWWendy is on the coast. Oh God, it’s Monday! God Help America!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 5:20 (average 8:37). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
May Joe have a similar smile this week
Trump* Virus Map:
US Cases: 9,480,665
US Deaths: 236,519
Plus all the Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding
Religious Ecstasy:
Oh what a magnificent ORB!
Short Takes:
From Crooks and Liars: In Austin, a Trump caravan of trucks filled with armed neo-Nazis surrounded the Biden bus and nearly drove a campaign staffer into an accident.
According to Alternet, Trump* said these criminals did nothing wrong. Once again, I urge you to avoid Ammosexual Nazi Republicans at all costs, with one exception. Do NOT let these terrorists prevent you from casting your vote! RESIST!!
From YouTube (NBC News Channel): Biden Holds ’Souls To The Polls’ Event In Pennsylvania
While Democrats hold “souls to the polls” events, Republicans hold comparable events of their own: “assholes to the polls”. Go! Joe! Go! RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Beatles – Help!
Ah… the memories! On election eve, we need all the help we can get! RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Good. You were due for a good long rest, and you were due for an orb victory. So glad you got both.
Cartoon – I’ll be grateful for the joy. I hope it’s not quite as surprising.
TVU – So many of the darkest states are states where there a lot of wide open spaces. Only extreme carelessness can account for that. I gather North and South Dakota have more cases wmong 1.6 million people as do four other nations combined adding up to 1.9 million people – one is japan, one is one of the Koreas -I forget the other two, but they are both industrialized.
C&L (and everyone else) – And the police did nothing. But, according to Democratic Underground, one Trumper who watched it on TV and then heard Trump* praise the thugs, took down his Trump* flag and decided to stay home tomorrow because of it. And I’m pretty sure no one was injured (though there was damage to that vehicle). So it wasn’t a total loss.
To The Polls – Wouldn’t it be amusing if it turns out that none of the army of thug “poll watchers” Trump* is sending out voted early or by mail, and that they ended up not voting? Every one of them? OK, I can dream … but it would be like them.
Blast – HELP! Indeed!
Cartoon: Yep. What a memory for those who voted for Dewey. I pray that Joe has a smile from ear to ear too!
TVU: Confirmed: 2,023. Active: 107. Recoveries: 1884. Deaths: 32.
RE: YAY! Great game, and fantastic score for the Broncos!!
C&L: Quite frankly…I was horrified and sickened by the behavior(s) of these grown as- ID’s doing this! The FBI is investigating the incident, and I hope that the rebel rousers go to jail. Pretty sad, imho. Glad Joe and team are all right, too, after this.
NBC: Amen!! Love the people honking their horns! Love listening to him speak. I pray for his win, and also for his safety, and Ms. Harris’ too.
BFTP: Ain’t that the truth!! Love this song, btw..
Glad that Diana came to change your patch. You need the rest, and I hope that you continue to rest and relax, and nap when you need to. Take good, good care, and Thanks, Tom.

2. “Congratulations!! to our WH correspondent @Yamiche Alcindor for receiving the 2020 NAB Journalist of the Year Award!” ~ PBS – National Association of Black Journalists ~
3. “The Supreme Court will allow absentee ballots in North Carolina to be received and counted up to 9 days after Election Day in a win for Democrats. ~ @Adam Serwer ~
4. “trump hates dogs. Only sociopaths hate dogs.” ~ Sarah Cooper ~
5. “trump can make fun of Biden for holding rallies with cars all he wants, but at least Biden supporters have a ride home.” ~ @Vote Vets
6. “Breaking: “Texas Supreme Court denies Republican effort to invalidate over 126,000 ballots in Harris County.” (Houston) ~ Vicki S. ~
And just a couple more —
7. Brian Kemp, who stole the governorship of Georgia from Stacy Abrams through voter suppression, appears to be caught in his own trap and may not be able to vote.
8. Cartoonist Tom Toles is retiring.
9. Sir Sean Connery has died at the age of 90.
FOMCROTFPIMPLMAO!
Cartoon: I too hope Joe will be Smiling too. Our country can use some positive news.
TVU: Sad that the cases are still climbing everywhere. Did you see that at one of the idiot’s rally, he was hinting about firing Fauci after the election? Even had the ones at the rally chanting Fire Fauci. Hopefully we’ll be firing tRump.
Religious Ecstasy: Happy to see that your Broncos won. Must of been a good one, with the score being so close.
C&L: It’s despicable that tRump and his son Jr. encourages them to be out there terrorizing Biden’s campaign bus and staff. They should all be prosecuted for doing that.
NBC: Loved watching Joe and President Obama over the weekend at the rallies. Seeing Stevie Wonder there too.
BFTP: Great tune by the Beatles. Will be praying that we get the help Joe needs to win this election.
You certainly must of needed the rest, that you sleep so much. Hope you’re feeling better.
Take care and have a great day.
Thanks TomCat
So, can Jr. be indicted for inciting violence?
‘Toon: How about a two word headline, this time: BIDEN LANDSLIDE!
TVU: On our way to 9,500,00 are we? And another idiot pastor who claimed that prayer stops the virus…has it!
Broncolations!
C&L: The FBI is reportedly investigating this.
NBC: Glad he’s not ignoring Pa.!
BFP: So timely!
You sleeping so long must be in preparation of Election Day, TomCat.
It’s 0:45 pm on Wednesday here now, some of the American poll boxes will have opened by now, 95 million Americans already have voted, and I’m nervous. Really, my stomach is all squeezy like I’m about to visit the dentist. And I won’t know until tomorrow morning here what the outcome will be in general terms. Give me strength.
5:02 One of my favourites because it’s hard.
TVU: As our media described it, Trump has been saying the virus is on its way out for days now and America now has to go to the polling stations when COVID-19 is spreading in the US like never before. But for all the current ‘president’ cares, you can all die, after you’ve voted for him, of course.
C&L: This is exactly why I’m nervous. Trump defending those supporters by stating they were defending the Biden buss, makes my stomach churn even worse.
NBC: Let’s see if Pennsylvania went for Biden. Both my fingers and my stomach in a knot now.
BFTP: Great song for this moment in time.
Thanks and Hugs to all!
