It’s another tired day here in the CatBox. Instead of taking a nap to rest my back, I’m waiting for Molly, my physical therapist, to arrive and make recommendations. Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, and she’s coming early in the morning to destink the raunchy TomCat, do chores, and prepare edible food. Therefore, please expect no more than a brief Personal Update. Tuesday is Flush your Republicans Day. Be careful. They’re getting desperate these days.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 4:15 (average 6:11). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoons:
Trump* Virus Update (an occasional feature from now on):
US Cases: 10,428,603
US Deaths: 244,521
Plus the Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding
Short Takes:
From Daily Kos: President-elect Joe Biden’s campaign was never quiet about what the first goal of a Biden administration would be: to undo Trumpism. Undo as many of Donald Trump’s racist, white nationalist, fact-averse, science-hostile orders and policies as possible, as soon as possible, and return the United States to something approaching competent normalcy.
Fortunately for the next Democratic administration, the Trump Team made heavy use of executive orders and regulatory “reinterpretations” in their efforts to sabotage prior government policies. That means those moves can be undone by the very same mechanisms.
It might be easier for Joe to reverse that approach. Here is the complete list of everything Trump* and the Republican Reich have not broken:
[begin here]…
…
…[end of list].
RESIST!!
From YouTube (Raw Story Channel): Lindsey Graham: Overturn this election or ‘there will never be another Republican president’
First, may this election stand. Second, may Lindsey Poo be absolutely correct that there will never be another Republican Resident. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Trump’s Attempt to Steal the Election Won’t Work
Thank God the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. To complete the process, the Reich on the Right, the Republican Reich, needs to follow their Fuhrer around the bowl and down the drain. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Beatles – Come Together
People of America, reject the Republican Reich and come together! RESIST!!
70 Days Until the FLUSH!!

*This just in: “All republicans who just won election but refuse to accept Biden’s win should immediately resign, since clearly their victories are on the same ballot were fraudulent. Starting with Mitch.” ~ Andy Borowitz ~
2. “Emily Murphy (a trump appointee) who heads the GSA, has resisted signing the paperwork that would give Biden and his team access to funds and official access to government officials and equipment to prepare for the incoming admin.” ~ Nicki V. ~
3. dt’s hat – ‘MAGA’ – Joe’s hat – “We just did.”
4. “There is no evidence of widespread election fraud. But there is evidence that the American people overwhelmingly voted for Joe Biden, by more than 4.5 million votes.” ~ Jeff Merkley ~
5. “Out of all seasons, the ‘Fall’ of the Trump administration is our favorite. ~ Samantha Bee ~
**Veteran’s Day. There will be a courthouse ceremony tomorrow, of which I will be attending. Go Navy!

Oops…!
Happy 245th Birthday USMC !!
OORAH !!
Thank you, Pat.
Happy Birthday yourself..
TJI #1 – I think Andy might be serious. I surely wish it would happen.
TJI #2 – Beau talks about this in today’s video thread, and I hope everyone will watch it. Beau is substantially left of Joe, but he has nothing but praise for thow he prepared for this.
TJI #3 – Saw that! Easier to read here, but i did judt manage to make it out in the pic.
Veterans Day – indeed.
This article stub (with link) appeared in a newsletter from The New Yorker dated 11/9. I remember seeing similar articles after other elections, but I don’t remember seeing them quite this soon. Is my memory at fault here?
Cartoon – Whatever.
TVU – Whatever.
RR – Great minds. Yes, glad he did this. It’s very helpful. (And I have more.)
Lindsey – I don’t think he’s right If we can’t win the Senate, I’ sure he’s wrong. We may be able to make it until 2022, but if we lose it then, we are screwed.
Blast – An excellent proposal. May it be widely accepted.
Joanne:
Cartoon 1: Happy Birthday, Pat. Hope your special day is full lots of enjoyable moments with your family and friends. With many more to follow.
Cartoon 2: Sick of seeing his face. Sure can’t wait till he’s long gone.
TVU: My city just got thrown back to the Purple Tier this morning. It will become effective on Saturday. Wish people would take it serious and follow the rules.
DK: Glad to see Biden moving forward. Watched Joe and Kamala this morning speaking about the Affordable Care Act. Sure grateful that their siding with the people, not the flipping GOP who’s been out to destroy it. I bet tRump was burining up seeing Biden. Hope tRump blows a few major circuits and disappear from the planet.
RRC: Lindsey Poo sucks. Too bad he’s become like all the rest of the R’s, 100% evil like their master.
BFTP: Fantastic tune. I pray our country does exactly that.
Sure hope you’re able to get caught up on your rest/sleep. Please do.
Hopefully Molly made it over and you both accomplished some goals.
Tell Wendy, “Hello” in the morning.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAT!!!!!!! AND IT’S A LANDMARK BIRTHDAY, NO LESS!
TVU: So, where is the jackass who told a reporter that it was funny, huh, that cover disappeared right after Nov. 3rd!!
DK: Biden may hav a a case od writer’s cramp, very early on!
RSC: Too bad Lindsey is from S. Carolina, or he might be on the unemployment line, where he belongs,
RRC: Rudy, and the rest of the deplorables working for Trump, need to find out whether, or not, they can get their souls out of hock with Dumpness. Mr. Lower the Barrrrrrrrrr cme out with new memo that had people worried, for a bit, anyway. The memo is toothless, will not change anything about the election, though it might save Barr’s job until January20th. Might, I say, because Dumpness is on a firing binge, andl ike I said, the memo is toothless.
I have loved Beatle music from the get go. We have 70 million, or so, fellow Americans who think Trump is just marvelous, has done so much good for the country, have their brains awash in his Kool-Aid, that unity will not be anything but hugely difficult.
Bigotry had lived in the country’s dark underbelly, snuffling along the sewer lines, and feeding in the cess pools, but Trump has given it oxygen. Even if he winds up in jail, Riker’s Island, for instance, if his adult kids don’t go to jail as well, they will be keeping his brand alive, are already said to be working their way,or trying to do so, into the RNC.
There can be no new Republican president!
Can you imagine anything more useless . . . well maybe Trump himself!
Make sure you don’t put too much strain on your back, TomCat; you know you’ll regret it.
3:30 Nasty looking plant. Of the Trump family?
Congratulations, dear Pat. I hope you’ve had the birthday you wished for.
Cartoon: Ex-Führer, I should hope.
TVU: It’s almost like Trump gave COVID-19 free rein just to make it impossible for Biden to get a grip on it.
DK: Poor Biden. I hope his signature isn’t as ridiculous as Trump’s and flows off the pen, so to speak, otherwise, a carpal tunnel syndrome may bring an end to signing executive orders. soon.
RS: I’m sorry, I can’t be bothered to start this video.
RR: Very reassuring.
BFTP: Excellent song and “Come together” should happen, but not mean “Fogive and forget” and Trump or Republicans get away with what they did to America.
Thanks and Hump Day Hurry Hugs to all!
