It’s a seasonal day here in the CatBox. WWWendy left for Vegas at 4:00 AM. I sure hope she does not become a showgirl. For some reason, I woke up exhausted. It was a real fight just to drag my ass out of bed. TGIF Hugs.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:06 (average 4:53). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (CNN Channel): Trump to Putin: Don’t meddle in the election
That evil smirk says it all. I bet a buck that both Fuhrer’s have already agreed to have Russia interfere in the 2020 election. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Trump’s Secret Tax on Ordinary Americans
Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. Trump, Fuhrer of the evil Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, is lying about his tariffs. Foreigners don’t pay them. You do. Yjrn Re[ublicans use the money to give welfare to billionaires. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Millions of viewers of a televised debate Wednesday night found themselves struggling with the notion of a President with no visible personality disorder.
In interviews across the country, viewers said that they were having difficulty imagining a President who does not display flagrant signs of malignant narcissism, impulse-control deficit, or rampant paranoia.
“I kept trying to picture whether any of these people would be capable of insulting another country on Twitter to compensate for his or her own pathological sense of inadequacy,” Harland Dorrinson, who lives in Akron, Ohio, said. “None of them showed me that they have what it takes to do that.”
“A President should be ready, at a moment’s notice, to ridicule another person’s face,” Carol Foyler, of Nashville, said. “I didn’t see one person on that stage who seemed up to that task.”
Dang Andy! I don ‘t know what to say I’m quite sure Liz doesn’t want a Russian hooker. RESIST!!

CNN: Gawd, I saw that!!! What a traitor! and a absolute disgrace!! Get him out!! He also talked to Putin about getting rid of reporters/journalists.. “Get rid of them. Fake news is a great term, isn’t it? You don’t have this problem in Russia but we do,” Trump said to Putin.

RR: Good educational video by RR. We’re getting hurt $$$ bigly by all of this. ugh!
NYer: A most noteworthy astute observation!
Cartoon: “Where Pride Lives”. (Stonewall Inn).
The heat and humidity is bad here too. Hope Wendy makes it to Sin City okay. Hope that you have a relaxing day/evening, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
This just in: “The GOP is doomed because young people view them as the ‘dumb party’. ~ George Will ~
2. Bumper Sticker – “Anyone but Trump” ~ anon !
4:50 I must say it doesn’t make me hungry for bananas.
CNN – It’s all a big joke to both of them. I will NOT take that bet. And if Trump wants to see the person who hates the United States more than anyone else in the world, he should look in a mirror.
Reich – It’s just amazing – incomprehensible – to me that not everyone already knows this.
TNY – Right. I don’t know what to say either. Except that thank God they DON’T have what he’s talking about.
Cartoon – I hear there’s a big parade, and George Takei will be there.
This just in from the Washington Post:
Avowed neo-Nazi in Charlottesville car attack sentenced to life in prison for federal hate crimes
We WON one!
Hallelujah!!!
But, will the Dark Lord pardon him? It would be, IMO, political suicide but who knows — he is a racist jackass! As you say, it is a federal crime/sentence.
It certainly could happen. On the other hand, the Supreme Court recently upheld the right of the states and the feds to try for the same offenses without it being double jeopardy. Now, I hope you are sitting down – it was a 7-2 vote, Ginsburg ans Kavanaugh dissenting. Srsly.
Doubt it will matter if Twitler pardons him. He was also convicted in Virginia’s state court – and that is out of Twitler’s reach.

I knew there were both state and federal charges and that Trump had no pardon power for state charges. I saw a reference to the life sentence plus 419 years but thought that was for the federal charges with the state sentence to follow.
Either way, he should never see the light of day!
CNN: Boy, that’s telling him,is it not? One could just see Putin shudder with fear, as his mouth went dry, and his testicles crawled up into his abdomen!! Atta boy, Pres.!
RRC: Of course RR is spot on!
New Yorker: Hey! The sicko bastard, malignant narcissists don’t come a dime a dozen, what the hell did you think? We’d get lucky and find a few more in the mix? Even among the mass of deplorable GOPIGGIE contenders in the 2016 election the only one qualified to take on the mantle of “Sickest Bastard Standing” was the Empty Orange One.
‘Toon: I can’t tell you how many times, in my Greenwich Village peregrinations I must have walked past the Stonewall Inn, as so many others, with no inkling of what significance it would eventually take on. I did stop into a bar in the Village, with a fraternity brother, once, and afterwards realize it was a gay bar, for all I know it was the Stonewall, but that’s just a guess.
CNN: Seen that on the news. tRump making his evil gestures while he’s sitting with pUtin. Both pure evil bas*ards.
RR: Right as usual. tRump is screwing up our country with his tariff games.
Cartoon: They sure have come a long way.Awful what they faced and were put through. Pray the LGBT continues getting stronger.
It’s finally warming up a bit here too. Still have the morning clouds. In a couple of weeks it will be getting hot and humid, the type I don’t care for.
Are we liking our frikken FASCISM yet???
What is it going to take before our citizens, all of them, wake the f**k up and smell the death camps????
If no one understood what that little aside of ‘the smirk’, they should understand now that that illegitimate resident in the WH is a TRAITOR, a criminal, a liar extraordinaire and a thief.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, not even a sitting president.
Welcome back Terrie!!! It has been far too long!!! I hope all is well with you! How are the pitties?
Ditto what Squatch said!
Puzzle — 4:49 Not my favourite fruit! I was in no hurry.
CNN — I hear that the US has changed its name to Trumpistan, a satellite of Russia. Trump is a piece of bear scat from mother Russia.
Robert Reich — AMEN!!! Kudos to Reich for spelling this out so clearly so that even sheeple can understand.
The New Yorker — Oh how far the US has fallen when a presidential candidate is considered inadequate when that candidate has no visible personality disorder. The Dark Lord has set the bar at a new low!
Cartoon — When being LGBTQ or straight, black or white (or any other colour), male or female no longer matters, the world will be in a better place.
Thanks and delayed hugs to all.
