It’s another tired painful day here in the CatBox.  I slept poorly again due to a midnight throne run.  Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update, as it’s a WWWendy Day.  Pardon my pit-stop, have a fine weekend, and pray Trump’s next crime isn’t more violent than this last.

Short Takes:

From Crooks and Liars:  Presidential Medal of Honor recipient Rush Limbaugh (just wanted to start you off with vomit in your mouth) isn’t satisfied with yesterday’s violence on Capitol Hill – he wants MORE! Indeed, he mocked the notion that we might be horrified by the MAGA crowd’s insurrection, and tried to compare these vile seditionists to colonists Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams, saying how happy he was that THOSE dudes didn’t hold back.

I named this Republican Limbarf and identified him as a leader in the Republican Reich long before the Republicans had ever heard of Trump*. The Republican Reich has not changed. RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!  RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!

From NY Times: In Washington, Republicans were dealing with a burgeoning crisis in their ranks, with high-profile resignations and bitter infighting over how to deal with an erratic and isolated president. But at the Republican National Committee’s winter meeting on Friday, most party members were operating in a parallel universe.

In a chandelier-adorned ballroom at the seaside Ritz-Carlton here, there was no mention of President Trump’s disruption of the coronavirus relief package or his phone call to the Georgia secretary of state demanding that he help steal the election, both of which contributed to Republicans’ losing control of the Senate.

And while the R.N.C. chair, Ronna McDaniel, condemned the attack on the Capitol, neither she nor any other speaker so much as publicly hinted at Mr. Trump’s role in inciting a mob assault on America’s seat of government.

Even as the president faces a possible second impeachment proceeding, this collective exercise in gaze aversion was not the most striking part of the meeting. More revealing was the reason for the silence from the stage: Party members, one after another, said in interviews that the president did not bear any blame for the violence at the Capitol and indicated that they wanted him to continue to play a leading role in the party.

“I surely embrace President Trump,” said Michele Fiore, the committeewoman from Nevada, where Republicans have lost two Senate races and the governorship since 2016. Ms. Fiore, who was sporting a Trump-emblazoned vest, said the president was “absolutely” a positive force in the party.

The RNC could not have made it more clear that they chose Trump* as Fuhrer, because he represents the values and policies of the Republican Party.  This was true before and during Trump’s* Residency and will continue indefinitely.  RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!

Ah… the memories!  RESIST and REMOVE the Republican Reich!!
