Store to Door is delivering my groceries to the CatBox this afternoon and I’m hurrying to finish early enough to take a partial nap first. Pat, are you a baseball fan? My condolences if you are. Dang! 12-3 sounds more Texans than Astros! Hurry Hugs to all!

Today’s took me 4:13 (average 5:37). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Trump Lawyers Keep Musing About A Mike Pence Indictment
I’ve been thinking about this, as I like the idea of impeaching and removing Trump and Pence simultaneously. However it might be easier to indict Pence and impeach Trump simultaneously. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Sevier County Commissioner Bigot
Dang, Trey! Do you have some Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians (the exact opposite of real Christians) down there, or what? RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): Gruesome videos show alleged atrocities in Syria
This is how Republicans treat our allies. If they Republicans they oppose this action, I say they have enabled Trump from day one, making them equally responsible. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Dolly Parton – I Will Always Love You – 1974
I added this, because Trae mentioned Dolly. Ah… the mammaries! RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
4:53 Be interesting to know where that is. “Search google for image” doesn’t work.
Good.
Oregon leads the way
Now the Bureau is focusing on their confidentiality requirements. This could become one of the most important things to be aware of, especially if Traitor Tot gets is citizenship question.
Cartoon – Hmmm.
Rachel – Mike can be indicted. The infamous Justice Department memo says so. I think indictment is preferable to impeachment myself. I can definitely see Republicans screaming that if you’re going to impeach both they need separate inquiries, and accomplishing more obfuscation and more delay. But I’m not in the House, and I’m definitely not Nancy or Adam. WRT, Trump murdering someone, it occurred to me that this might be a good time for someone or someones with real talent to start working on a screenplay in which a very liberal President does kill someone and geta away with it To make the RWNJs squeal.
Trae – That kind of fear of “teh gay” says so much more about the person who has it than it does about anyone gay. And, yes, defy logic is absolutely what they do. (Interesting but probably irrelevant, that “Sevier” is pronounced “severe.”)
CNN – If Trump says it, you can take it to the bank that it’s a lie. It surely would be better for us and our future if WE were held accountable for our war crimes – including those we allowed to happen through our action or inaction. Yeah, like that’s going to happen.
Past – After Trae, of course you had to feature Dolly. I acquired a great respect to her from “9 to 5” (which was further cemented by “Steel Magnolias.”) The more I learn about her the better I like her.
But murder has no statute of limitations – so couldn’t authorities just wait until s/he is out of office and charge him/her then?
That’s why I specified “real talent.” I realize there are all kinds of plot hitches to get over.
Resist and persist!!take a nice nap Tom.📮
Cartoon: Word.
MSNBC: Try to deflect his on-going investigations, re: dt. What a cad, always has been.
Trae: Coming from an elected official, what an as-! Yes, they do defy all logic! Good video!
CNN: Gawd. Sad, and horrible. I agree with your statement, Tom. Well said.
YT: Love this song. We saw her and the ‘Sons of the Pioneers’ years ago, at the state fair. Awesome!
No, not a baseball fan, though I will watch, if hubs has the game on, but Thank You for your condolences. I’ll pass that on, as my neighbor is a rabid fan of the Astros. Hope that you get your nap in too. Enjoy your day/evening, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

Dolly Parton’s Dollywood Amusement Park is in Pigeon Forge – Pigeon Forge is in Sevier County – homophobe County Commissioner Warren Hurst serves in Sevier County.
It’d be nice if Dolly herself spoke to this directly.
Not holding it against if she doesn’t – but it’d be nice.
Cartoon: Exactly what they drop.
MSNBC: Wow..wouldn’t that be nice to see him impeached too? He’s done nothing more than to lie and cover his leaders tracks.
CNN: Awful. Yep, they all should be held responsible just like you stated, TC.
YT: Great song. Always been a fan of Dolly.
Hope the rest of your day went well. That you got your nap.
Take care.
Thanks TomCat
4:06 Thought I’d prevent you from breaking your teeth on that bull, TomCat.
Cartoon: Replacement for the dropping, yes.
MSNBC: Impeachment or indictment? Who cares, as long as both Trump and Pence are removed simultaneously. It’s funny to think that if Trump ever thought Pence would pardon him after impeachment/indictment, he certainly had his lawyer destroy any chance of that.
TC: I’m up there with Trae; I can’t for the life of me understand what makes these people tick. They defy all logic.
CNN: I’m past the barf-stage when Trump vomits another tsunami of lies across the TV screen, I’m in the phase of red-hot tears of frustration and shame. Shame that Drumpf is allowed to lie about brokering a deal with Turks and Kurds (Putin did that), that many lives were spared because of it, and the Kurds have told him how happy and grateful they are to him, without any leaders of the world standing up and saying that enough is enough. Nobody believes Trump outside of America, everyone knows he’s lying and yet nobody speaks out.
Trump may not be killing people in the streets personally, but it comes very close. Get rid of him and his Republican minions before they murder more people.
YT: Though not a fan of Dolly’s music, I think this is a very beautiful song. I understand it’s not a love song in the usual sense as she wrote it when leaving her manager of many years for one who had her interests better at heart because times changed.
MSNBC — “However it might be easier to indict Pence and impeach Trump simultaneously.” — Whatever it takes to get them both GONE! And then the voters can take care of reducing the numbers of vermin Republicans from the House and Senate so that there is a big blue wave!
Trae Crowder — Perhaps for this old fart in the video, free speech should be taken away. What a asshat!
CNN — Me thinks that a trip to The Hague should be on the itinerary of Trump, Erdogan, Assad, Putin and others but it likely will never happen.
YouTube — I have heard the song before but I am not a Dolly fan. Interesting background Lona.
Joanne,
it is part of the Fountain of the Sun in Nice, France.
Welcome back Critter! Good to see you comment again!
Thank you so much! (And I’d welcome you back even if you hadn’t been so gracious as to answer.)
Thanks and 💩 TGIF hugs to all!
