Yesterday, Robert Reich posted Episode #7 in his DEBUNK series.  Also, the New York Times finally nailed Trump** – in an opinion piece (SMH). At least it was the full board, and I have to admit they did it thoroughly. We don’t need to be told this. But you may know people who do. Not MAGAts, who won’t listen, but “independents” and “undecideds.” And people who have never heard of Project 2025 (Joyce herself ran into one of these a few days ago. She says she didn’t try to convey the full scope of it, but instead focused on a topic close to the person’s heart. This person was a naturalized citizen, so she focused on immigration.)
Here’s the gift link from Joyce Vance

Mary Trump makes some very sound points here. I hope that the American people are not too caught up in the hysteria to hear her message.

Wonkette knows, and AOC knows, that this won’t go anywhere in the current House. But Wonkette also points out that that fact is “half her point.” I personally am more interested in the other half – but that’s me.

It’s a lazy day here in the CatBox.  There is not much news that we have not already covered, so this is my only article today.  Portland is entering an excessive heat waning with several days over 90° and Sunday and Monday over 100°.  Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update or an Open Thread.  Tomorrow WWWendy will be here to destink the sweaty TomCat, help with chores, and mega-goop.  Have a great weekend.

Here is the one hundred eightieth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s winner is the idiot, hate-filled Congressman Ted “No No” Yoho [R-FL]. He is so honored for a bogus apology to the magnificent AOC after making vile misogynous slurs.

0724YohoIf you click on only one thing today, let it be Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Thursday morning speech, delivered from the House floor and directed to a fellow member of Congress, but really to us all.

“You can be a powerful man and accost women,” said the New York Democrat. “You can have daughters and accost women, without remorse. You can be married and accost women. You can take photos, and project an image to the world of being a family man, and accost women, without remorse, and with a sense of impunity. It happens every day in this country.”

Two days prior, on the steps of the Capitol, Ocasio-Cortez found herself in a heated conversation with Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). He called her “disgusting,” he said she was “out of [her] freaking mind,” and when the discussion ended, Yoho allegedly uttered the words, “f—ing b—h.”

Kudos to AOC!

On Yoho the Yo Yo, the one thing that baffles me is how that Republican hatemonger and misogynist has escaped getting a parade before now!  I apologize for the delay!

RESIST!!
