It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. Yesterday I was pleased to see that the Holy Ellipsoid Orb blessed Pat. I had leftover pizza for supper. Today is a slow day for news. I am going to call an old friend at lunchtime. Her husband died a year ago today, and I know she is feeling very lonely. Thank God it’s Friday!

From Crooks and Liars: Not that this is really news to us, but the NYTimes seems shocked to learn that Prznint Stupid does nothing but sit on the can and rage tweet all day:

“In the three weeks since Election Day, President Trump’s most visible presence has been on Twitter. Since Nov. 3, he has posted some 550 tweets — about three-quarters of which attempted to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election results”

It’s another tired/painful day here in the CatBox, as I recover from medical mayhem. Tomorrow I hope to post a brief Personal Update and a Holiday message. WWWendy is coming early to destink the TomCat and help as quickly as possible, so she can get home to spend the holiday with her family. She and I will celebrate on Sunday instead. I’ll spend most of the day with the Ellipsoid Orb, even though my Broncos aren’t playing. Happy Hump Day!

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: In a series of blistering tweets, Donald J. Trump ripped President-elect Joe Biden for choosing Cabinet members woefully lacking in reality-show experience.

Calling the Cabinet picks a “bunch of losers who have spent their lives working at desks,” Trump questioned the team’s preparedness to take on the challenges presented by today’s complex reality-show landscape.

“These people have never earned an immunity idol, presided over a rose ceremony, or danced with a star,” Trump said. “This is the best Sleepy Joe could do?”

He saved his most withering criticism for Janet Yellen, Biden’s pick for Treasury Secretary. “If Joe really wanted a woman for this position, why didn’t he choose one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?” Trump asked. “They know a lot more about money than this clown.”

Andy is back to reporting straight news again. RESIST!!

From Alternet: On Friday night, September 18, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell learned that liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died of cancer at the age of 87. And according to PBS’ “Frontline,” McConnell contacted President Donald Trump that very night and made it clear he wanted to see Judge Amy Coney Barrett nominated for the seat and confirmed by the U.S. Senate as quickly as possible.

Josh Holmes, McConnell’s former chief of staff, explained to “Frontline” that on September 18, “McConnell told (Trump) two things. McConnell said: First, I’m going to put out a statement that says we’re going to fill the vacancy. Second, he said, you’ve gotta nominate Amy Coney Barrett.”

That quote is from the PBS documentary, “Supreme Revenge: Battle for the Court,” which premieres this week.

I hate to say this, but the revelation that Amy Coney Bullshit was Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch’s pick scares me even more than the belief that she was criminal Fuhrer Trump’s pick. RESIST!!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Republican Media Stunt Falsely Cast as State Legislative Hearing

Isn’t it interesting to note that yesterday I suggested that Trump’s* post-defeat antics are a show for Sheeple-fleecing, and today, Rachel says the same thing by showing that this is just a fund-raiser. That’s a great mind with whom to fall in the same ditch. RESIST!!

I really hope this embed works, because the Twitter original didn’t have CC, and she’s so British, I think it’s needed for all of us. (She has more out, and they now have CC, but it’s small.

I have no idea what the reasoning is behind which segments have CC and which don’t – assuming there is reasoning and not whether or not the person posting remembers.
