It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. I enjoyed the Portland Chiefs victory yesterday, even though Mahomas suffered a concussion from a dirty horse-collar tackle by a Bill. They play for the AFC Championship next week. Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update tomorrow. It’s a WWWendy day and she’s coming in the morning. Hurrah, it’s Monday!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:16 (average 4:12). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Cartoon:
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Hat-Tip Mitch)(ours, not Beat Bawling Bastard Moscow Mitch): WAKE UP CALL FOR REPUBLICANS
I had not heard of this Oscar-Nominated producer before today, but I certainly agree with what he has to say here. RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Misinformation Drops 73 Percent After Trump Banned From Twitter
Is anyone surprised? If Trump** were not such a prolific bull-shitter , the Republican Party would never have never realized how perfectly he fits who and what they are. RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Animals – We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
Ah… the Memories! RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!
Wednesday, Dump Trump** Hump Day,
Is the Big FLUSH!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Yep!
Wake up Call: Excellent video. Again, Thank you, Mitch for this, and TC for posting this.
MSNBC: How refreshing to read that. I knew from the get-go he was a BS’er. ugh!
YT: Such a great song!
Good for the Chiefs! Early HI to WWWendy for tomorrow! Hope that you get a chance to get in a nap. Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in: A two thousand year old warning about Drumpf : “A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive Treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor. He speaks in theaccents familiar to his victims, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep within the hearts of all men. He ROTS the soul of a nation, he works secretly and in the night to undermine the pillars of a city. He infects the body politic so it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared “. Cicero – Roman Statesman -425 BC-~ Scott V. ~
2. “The Pentagon has denied trump a traditional farewell ceremony, no military send off, no 21 gun salute, no extravagant goodbye. They basically want him to get on the helicopter and get the Fk out.” ~ Ricky D. ~
3. “For trump’s send off…have one of his schlubby friends pick him up in a golf cart.” ~ Karen W. ~
4. “The pardons are right around the corner, and if what I’m hearing is correct, it is a long and terrible list of truly terrible people.” ~ Don Winslow ~
5. “Trump’s banishment from Twitter has been a gift to America’s Democracy.” ~ Michael B. ~
6. Re- trump – “1.9 Million for debts he needs to pay, and $2 dollars for crayons for his library.” ~ Theresa F. ~
TJI #1 – Cicero had a head on his shoulders, even if it did have a little wart-like birthmark on it. There have always been people who could see stuff like this, and more who couldn’t. Sigh
TJI #4 – I believe the number being circulated iis 100. And the date tomorrow.
TJI #6 – There are rules about Presidential Libraries, including the rule that there must be one. One of the videos in today’s thread addresses that. In some ways I think we really need one for him – but in some ways I wish they’d make an exception.
TJI #6: If it’s mandated, make it very small one without books but with smutty magazines instead.
TJI #2: Splendid!
TJI #4: Apparently Trump has sold his soul uhm pardons to the 100 highest bidders.
TJI #5: Twitter has bought America’s pardon by banning Trump from using it further.
I overslept after a stressful weekend … but I’ve done worse. And I feel reasonably good now.
Cartoon – Still, it’s amusing that many of them will receive felony convictions from the insurrection and won’t be able to have a gun again.
Wake Up Call – No one hears about producers, even if they win Oscars, unless they have a following – not a cult following, but a particular style in selecting projects that appeal to a particular group (and even then it’s directors more than producers.) I’d be surprised if Matthew Cooke had one because he is too intelligent and articulate – and also he covers too many aspects of his topic for a large group of any kind to seize on (Americans have short attention spans.) I agree with every word too, and I particularly agree with his opening. If he had stopped there – or gone on but in separate videos – the people who rally need to see this would have a better chance of doing so.
MSNBC – I was a little surprised at how fast it was, since there are so many Trump** idiots out there passing it around in shovels. But I guess they are measuring in such a way that 73% was directly from the horse’s … er, mouth. Someone did post a really cute Tweet on this topic:
“Het, y’all, did you see what Trump tweeted? … Me neither.”
Blast – Of course they meant a geographical place (and were right) but the term has wider application, and it really fits.
‘Toon: Old but tried and true!
Wake Up ought to be on TV, all over the country!
MSNBC: 600,000 and some mentions is still a lot, but a 73% drop is precipitous! Trump’s “information,” like everything else about him has been/is false.
BFTP: Love them Animals!
TJI#1: Cicero may have had his faults, but intelligence, and insight were shining brightly.
TJI#2: Bye now, asshat!
TJI#4: This is the guy* who warned us about all those criminal types coming in from Mexico, but thinks nothing of flooding us with home born scum! (*Putz)
TJI#6: I had no idea, and thank you, Joanne, that there has to be a library. I’m sure there must be an old outhouse somewhere that needs a new home. Or, an orange Port-a-Potty, which can be decorated with crayon graffiti, inside. It could be put on the edge of the intra-coastal waterway, near Lago-land so that the sea level rise that he’s been helping along can carry it out to sea someday. You do realize that since it has to be created, that it will be a monument to BullShit, gaslighting, and delusion.
I think its about 40 hours till the big dump….
Cartoon: I’m hoping that what the news said and Joanne also mentioned, will happen so these stinking idiots will get their weapons taken away once they’re convicted.
Wake Up Call: Mitch said exactly what I thought after watching the video. This should be broadcasted on National TV I feel the channels should play this video numerous times a day to do exactly like this producer states, to deprogram all of these evil minds who still support tRUmp. I too thank Mitch for passing this on.
MSNBC: I like others aren’t surprise at the drop since tRump has been banned from posting. tRump was hitting so many sites with all of his flipping false words. Hope once he’s out of the W.H. our country will start to heal in more ways than one.
BFTP: Great song.
Glad you enjoyed the game yesterday and the Chiefs won.
Tell Wendy “Hello” tomorrow and I hope you both get all of your tasks taken care of.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Amazing how your “Portland Chiefs” are living in a parallel universe w/ my KC Chiefs.
The “Wake Up Call for rethuglicans” is truly an excellent production!
Delighted to see the drop in misinformation. I think we all wonder what it’d be like today if the MSM had actually done their jobs beginning on 1/20/2017 rather than constantly normalizing Trump’s outrageousness.
*sigh*
No doubt our nation would be in a MUCH better place!
Except Portland has the right to confiscate our Chiefs! Neither of our Senators is a Nazi traitor!
Now, boys, share and play nice.
I don’t think I’ve seen that in a long time (if ever): Hurrah, it’s Monday! Getting close to the final countdown, eh?
3:22 Roam all you like, TomCat.
Cartoon: You first need to explain what a background check is.
Wake Up Call: One word: brilliant. But pearls before swine.
MSNBC: Only 73%? They need to look into closing down just a handful accounts to get it near to zero. How about those of a few Republican Congress Members?
BFTP: I hope that’s Trump’s favourite line next Wednesday.
A background check ia required to purchase firearms in many states.
I think Lona meant the explanation would be needed by the guy in the cartoon rather than by her,
OOPS!
Thanks and Hugs to all!
