It’s a crappy day here in the CatBox. Republicosis hit last night and I was up most of the night popping George on and off. Pardon my brevity. Stinky Hugs to all.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:18 (average 5:10)/ To do it, click here. How did you do?

Autumn from the CatBox:
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Trump’s Emoluments Mess
Frankly, I think Democrats should include an additional Article of Impeachment covering Trump’s serial emoluments crimes. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Donovan – Catch the wind
Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
From Washington Post: Let me make an admittedly tentative suggestion about the explosive news that William P. Barr’s review of the origins of the Russia investigation has become a criminal probe:…
…No question, it’s deeply worrying that the Attorney General’s review — which President Trump badly wants in hopes of discrediting the origins of the special counsel investigation that revealed bottomless corruption on his part — now appears to be a criminal matter.
The Post and the New York Times both cite sources who confirm this, noting that this gives John Durham, the U.S. attorney from Connecticut who’s running the review with Barr, additional investigative powers.
Let’s also stipulate upfront that when we’re talking about Barr, the most nefarious designs imaginable must be treated as a serious possibility. Barr appears willing to manipulate the U.S. law enforcement machinery to an extraordinary degree to protect Trump from accountability and to propagandize away Trump’s corruption and likely criminality.
Is this bullshit any more than what we’ve come to expect from Barrf? RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Roger that. I’m not gonna lie, but when I see some (R) people who do and say weird sheet, I think along those lines. Add wanton cruelty to beings/animals, those disabled, and people/animal abusers, and it’s a did-done list. Sad to say.
Autumn: WOW !! Beautiful autumn pictures!
Mr. Reich: Excellent video, thx, Tom..
BFTP: Lordy…what good memories!
WP: Sickening at what they’re doing. Barff needs to go.
Uh oh! That doesn’t sound good. Hope you start feeling better. It poured here all night long. Thankfully..as we needed the rain. So now I gotta go rake the pine needles. Hope that you have a good day, take good, good care, and Thanks, Tom.
Been listening/viewing Elijah’s funeral: here’s the link. Very moving.

This just in: fyi: “Ruth Bader Ginsburg wins $1M Berggruen prize for philosophy, and whose ideas have profoundly shaped humans and self, understanding and advancement in a rapidly charging world. Congratulations, Ms. Bader! ” ~anon~
2. “I’m old enough to remember when R’s held the Benghazi hearing(s) in private and the D’s never illegally tried breaking into the room…just saying.” ~ Tommy S. ~
3. “Gym, Lindsey, Gaetz” the 3 Amigos.” ~anon~
4. “Russian Agent Maria Butina due to be released from prison Friday, and immediately escorted back to the Motherland. They will more than likely offer her a celebratory cup of tea.” ~ Marty V. ~
RR: Yes, he needs to feel pain related to his greed!
WP: In response to your question…No, it is not beyond expectations regarding Barrshit! The N.Y State Bar Assoc. has requested that Barr recuse or resign…yeah, right, like that will happen in this iteration of the universe!
Love Donovan!
About postin songs: How about “We Can Be Together,” by the Jefferson Airplane. I know of at least one congresswoman who would appreciate the “MF” expletive. But, beyond that this country really needs to “Get it Together,” as per the Youngbloods, BUT was the Airplane prescient, did they know about the wall that they say should be taken down?
https://youtu.be/cxA3Q96a8XE
Wasn’t the Berlin Wall still up then? They could have been referring to it.
Your wish is my command.
5:31 My timing was off.
Cartoon – Amen! Yea verily!
Already getting good use from those wands. Good for you. Keep copies of those together and record the dates – not needed yet, but see Erinyes in the morning.
RR – Yes. There are so many counts of this offense I wouldn’t want to be the one to try to write that one article. Not to mention that his supporter, if they have ever heard a word that sounds like “emolument,” think it’s a skin softening cream. I have no objection to adding it to the investigation; whether it becomes an article in the end will depend on how much else there is and how bad this look to his voters, seriously, if we charge him with everything he has done, it will take more time to read the charges than he has left in office.
Past – Don’t remember this particular one. Do remember Donovan, of course.
WaPo – Exactly what we expect from Barrf, and should have expected from the moment he was confirmed, if we somehow weren’t paying attention.
3:59 What missing a night of sleep doesn’t do with accuracy and speed.
Isn’t it lovely to see the colours change in Autumn?
RR: Let’s make sure all three methods to hold Trump accountable for his emolument mess will come to fruition: indict him through the courts (if not now, then after he’s kicked out of office), make his emolument crimes part of his impeachment and, to top it off, vote him and his equally greedy acolytes out of office.
YT: Memories of a time when I was a dreamy bobbysoxer.
WP: This development is not only BS, but it is also extremely dangerous. It means that people in high places, who should know better and unbiased, are willing to lend an ear to these ridiculous conspiracy theories and lend them the credibility Barrf is seeking for Trump.
I hope your Republicosis will stop soon, TomCat.
Cartoon: True.
Autumn: Lovely photos. You sure have a beautiful view
RR: Definitely. Hope they do add every single thing they can to get him locked away.
Blast from the Past: Yes I do remember that one very well. I was a real fan of Donovan.
Sorry to hear that you had an awful night. Hope you get to feeling better.
The past two days have been hot with Santa Ana winds. Yesterday to was 101 and today it was 96. It’s suppose to cool some tomorrow.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Thanks Mitch for adding the NYB ethics violation concern, which should lead to opening an impeachment investigation by Congress due to nonrecusal and nonreport to FEC, etc.Loved Italy refusing to play with another of Barr’s conspiracy theory quests to discredit start of investigation…
The judge who ordered release of Mueller grand jury records to House investigation also thoroughly debunked myths DOJ and other Trump attorneys had claimed were the law and constitution, especially regarding impeachment–should alter power dynamics we see
Thanks and Sleepy Saturday hugs for all. 💤
