It’s a hospital/infusion day here in the CatBox, and I’m rushing to get a morning nap. I’ll probably be worn out this morning, so please expect little. Remember to flush your Republicans.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: dt takes after his hero from all aspects. Frightening behavior.
I hope and pray that all goes well for you today. Take it easy, and get home safely. Take good, good care, and Thanks, Tom. Take a nap too! Hi, WWWendy, hope that you are doing well, and family too.
*This just in: “Imagine the huge cost to taxpayers for dt’s dog and pony show. IANAD, but it sounds like his lungs are compromised. This circus is far from over, and with him playing out ‘Cheato Mussolini on the WH balcony…please!! ~ John D. ~

6. “Dexamethasone – rare side effect of drug for Covid given to dt, includes feelings of aggression, grandiose, delusions, psychosis, depression and trouble thinking, speaking, or walking.” *pb
TJI #3 Well, good for Cohen. Reality Winner never belonged in prison, and has not gotten as much attention as Thomas Drake, John Kiriakou, or Jeffrey Sterling (all of whom are, thankfully, out now.) More power to him. Most power to her.
TJI #6 – But, Pat, how could anyone tell? I mean, he’s always like that.
I’ll take 3 orders of Grumpys please.
Those are actually NOT rare side effects of dexamethasone.
From the Mayo Clinic – in order:

And here is an anecdote, which of course is not evidence, but which may add some help in grasping how it feels to take this drug.
Thank you, Nameless and Joanne.
Hope your nap went well, that you got to the hospital safely, that the infusion went smoothly, that WWWendy got you home safely and not too painfully, and that the chores did not stress you too much, or WWWendy for that matter. That’s a lot of hope, isn’t it. Well, you deserve it.
Cartoon – At least when Hitler dies, most people believed he was dead. Even then, there were a number who thought he had managed to get to South America. Think what Trump*’s supporters are going to believe if he dies of CoViD, or whenever he does die. Some of those people think JuhnJohn Kennedy is still alive (though why they focused on him is quite beyond me.) Not to mention those who think Elvis is still alive.
That little one is too cute to have a grumpy and too young to have a coffee!
Cartoon: I have to agree with Pat that tRump takes after him with his scare tactics.
Hope you were able to get a quick nap. That you made it to the hospital on time and that the infusion goes well.
Tell Wendy “Hello” and hope you both have a nice afternoon, getting your tasks taken care with no problems.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Here’s the evidence that suggests the White House knew of Trump’s illness before debate — but deliberately hid it from AlterNet. An interesting article that clearly delineates the circumstances of the Squatter’s hospitalisation.
If this can be proven, the Squatter should be prosecuted for negligent homicide at the very least NOW, DOJ’s arbitrary ruling that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted be damned!!! Also, if Commander Dr Sean Conley is shown to be complicit in a WH coverup of the Squatter’s illness, given the gravity of the situation to the US population, he should lose his license to practise medicine permanently and also prosecuted. Any WH staff complicit in this fiasco should also be prosecuted!
I hope all goes well with the infusion today! I know it is a Wendy day, but try not to do too much! Take care! Your niece and nephews say “Meow, meow, meow!” and that is a diect quote.
I had not seen the evidence that Trump hid his own illness to make the debate a super-spreader event, but when the attendees of that and pseudo-Christian Barrett’s nomination started coming doweb sick, I knew who the super-spreader is. How? It;s the Republican thing to do!
Hi, all. Thx for the ’88 debate highlight,so great! Made me say “Hooray 4 Bentsen——even tho Texan!” Sorry, Pat! Also that I saw Dukakis when he came to OH (Cols.) & my brothers & I all got ACLU gift memberships fr. our parents that yr. after HW Bush screeched re: being card carry member, LOL! Some of my better 80s memories. Just renewed ACLU & wearing their shirt 2 day. Hoping to get my ballot this wk. & mailing it right bk. atcha, clown puppet! OH began in-person vote 2day and long, enthusiastic & masked throngs! Biden up 16 pts. nationally—–GOTV! Stay safe, blessings fr. cat goddesses to u!
‘Toon: Of course not. It must have been the ghost of Ghengis Kahn that made you do it!
Hoping that all went smoothly!
If the dirt-bag has Covid, and Dr. Fauci is right, dumpy might take a dive later this week, or next. On the other hand, Dumpy, having the media just where he wants them, might have just put on a performance, for better, or worse. But, as he claims folks ugh not be afraid of Covid, a GOP county Chair, in Arkansas just died of it:

Hope everything went well today, TomCat. Keeping my fingers, toes and legs crossed that the infusion will take hold.
3:24 I’m sure your pain medication is influencing your scores.
Cartoon: Neither does Trump, though Hitler was the better liar because they believed him.
John Turner,
17th Prime Minister of Canada
1929 – 2020
So sorry you lost him – first from politics, and now from this earth.
Please accept my condolences at your, Canada’s, and the world’s loss.
John Turner was one of my favourites along with Paul Martin and Pierre Trudeau (father of the current PM). They are/were all Liberals. Jack Layton (New Democratic Party) was another but he died of cancer before he could become PM. When I heard his statement in a recent interview, I was reminded of the Washington Post’s banner — “Democracy dies in darkness.” Turner just took it a step further exhorting people to be active participants.
THanks ans way pooped Hump Day Hugs to all!
