It’s a groggy day here in the CatBox. I slept poorly last night, but I took a nap this morning and just woke up. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update, as it’s a morning WWWendy day and we lave lots of semi-gooping and chores to do. Have a great weekend!

From Daily Kos: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, continues to be a tremendous waste of Senate space and one of the reasons why America Is Going To Hell Right Now…
…Yeah. Yeah, that’s the takeaway from the Amy Coney Barrett hearings, which should not have been held due to multiple members of the Senate committee testing positive for a deadly disease. The hearings that were scheduled on such a rush basis, in order to beat the upcoming election, that the nominee for the Supreme Court appeared to have done absolutely no preparation for whatsoever, whether it was in the disclosure of past political advocacy, the review of her past legal opinions, or skimming through the Constitution of the United States a few times so that she could answer basic questions about what is in it. The hearings that did not require the nominee to take “notes” because there were no questions asked by the United States Senate that the nominee felt compelled to further contemplate or return with fuller answers on.
It was the best. Why can’t we handle all impossibly consequential, history-altering nominations to the nation’s highest court with no preparation and knock through them in two days? Maskless hugs all around!
As much as I hate to say anything bad about a Democrat, even a barely nominal DINO, on the eve of an election, I could not be more frustrated with DiFi’s lick-spittle approach to Amy Coney Bullshit and Lindsey Poo when neither warrants more than condemnation in the strongest possible terms. She is up for reelection in 2024. Remember this then! RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): QAnon and Trump: Hear what his supporters think
Barf Bag Alert!!
Why should criminal Fuhrer Trump* denounce QAnon? Anyone stupid enough to believe their garbage are stupid enough to vote for Trump*? The problem is that these idiotic GOP Sheeple are far more likely to vote than the majority of Americans. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Simon & Garfunkel – The Sound of Silence (from The Concert in Central Park)
Ah… the memories! Protest like the 60s! RESIST!!
Monologue – Unfortunately none of these has CC. (Yes, Mary Trump did have a word or two to say about the “crazy uncle” tweet.) We haven’t talked about the soggy laptop here, but there is plenty of substantiation elsewhere that the story is a typical Russian disinformation project.
Fareed Zakaria – I’m sure ine doesn’t have to be an expert to see a relationship between CoViD (and other potential pandemics) and climate change, but you do need at least two brain cells to rub together, and be willing to rub them. Too many people don’t.
New Rule – Good grief, I had no idea there were that many Catholics on the court – I’m Catholic but that’s ridiculous. The word “catholic” means “universal,” and if you look even just at the court at who is catholic and how far apart their views are, you can get a glimpse of why that still has some validity, but not enough for that kind of over-representation. Damn.

It’s another tired day, here in the CatBox. My meeting with Diana yesterday was Routine, as was grocery delivery, but by the time I finally got to bed I was too tired to sleep well last night, so I’m really shot today. Deborah, my Home health doctor is coming this morning for my routine monthly checkup. I am gradually expanding my diet, so that if I do have a problem, I’ll know what caused it. This morning I had pancakes for breakfast. Wow! They were almost as good as a dawg! Tomorrow I have nothing extra to do, and Sunday is a morning WWWendy day. TGIF!

From Crooks and Liars: A ruling by Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett that whitewashed racism in the workplace shocked the Internet this week.
In a recent report on Barrett’s notable opinions, the Associated Press highlighted a 2019 workplace discrimination ruling that Barrett wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel.
According to the the [sic] report, Barrett said that there was no evidence that use of the n-word “created a hostile or abusive working environment.”
The AP reported:
“The n-word is an egregious racial epithet,” Barrett wrote in Smith v. Illinois Department of Transportation. “That said, Smith can’t win simply by proving that the word was uttered. He must also demonstrate that Colbert’s use of this word altered the conditions of his employment and created a hostile or abusive working environment.”
According to Barrett’s racist Republican perspective, this is the mere exercise of their God given right and patriotic duty to hate Blacks. RESIST!!

Bad as these are, Criminal Fuhrer Trump* is hammering on absurd conspiracy theories because there is nothing else he could say that wouldn’t be even worse for his electoral prospects. RESIST!!
