It’s that time of week again, and here are 3 great video clips from Sam’s show last night.  Enjoy!

Coronavirus Is Scary! CDC Budget Cuts Make It Scarier

After looking at Rudy, I think I’ll go out and buy face masks. Seriously, with the time I’ll be spending in hospitals, this could be a problem for me.  Several of us are in that boat.

Is The Iowa Caucus A Relic of the Past?

I like it that delegates for non-viable candidates get to move to viable ones. However, I’d like to learn what provisions Iowa makes to enable participation by people with disabilities. How about a pack of rubbers for Fred Trump*?

Are Republicans Being Shadow Banned? (No)

The only way to win with Fakebook is not to play! Unplug! Flush Fakebook!!

We got to see more of Sam’s serious side.

It’s I tired day here in the CatBox.  I haven’t visited the throne since 3:00 AM, si I hope the Imodium caught up to the Republicosis.  The Republican Trump* defense team finishes today.  Are you as sick of those sphincters as I am?  Have a great day!

From The New Yorker: Donald J. Trump has “no intention whatsoever” of having John Bolton’s book read aloud to him, Trump confirmed on Monday.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had obtained a draft manuscript of the Bolton book and had offered to read it aloud to him “like she does with all of the other books,” Trump said.

“She reads the books to me slowly and stops when there’s a long word to tell me what it means,” Trump said. “But I told her that the Bolton book was the last book in the world that I wanted to hear.”

Dang Andy! Isn’t it a shame Senate Republicans will imitate their criminal Fuhrer? RESIST!!

From YouTube (Vox Channel): How Iran’s Soleimani became a US target

This is a well presented, unbiased history lesson to help you better understand the region, while allowing you the freedom to make your own judgement without propaganda.  RESIST!!

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox, as WWWendy will be here in about an hour.  I’m feeling a bit better as, after throwing up most of the day yesterday, I kept supper down.  Then I kept breakfast down this morning.  Have a great Sunday!

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 4:07 (average 5:28).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From NY Times and YouTube:  Even before the gas chambers were destroyed and the savage toll of years of industrialized mass murder revealed to the world, prisoners at the largest Nazi concentration camp were already repeating two words: Never again.

But as the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz approaches, an occasion being marked by events around the world and culminating in a solemn ceremony at the former death camp on Monday that will include dozens of aging Holocaust survivors, Piotr Cywinski, the director of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, is worried…

…Across Europe and in the United States, there is concern about a resurgence of anti-Semitism. Toxic political rhetoric and attacks directed at groups of peoples — using language to dehumanize them — that were once considered taboo have become common across the world’s democracies.

To find examples of the rabid antisemitism that led to Auschwitz, one need look no further than the US Republican Reich. Impeached Fuhrer Trump called the Republicans in this video “fine people”.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel):  New audio and video undermine President Trump’s claim about Lev Parnas

So the liar who had “never met Parnas” and didn’t even “know who Parnas is” knew him well enough to discuss the strategy of firing a US Ambassador and blackmailing Ukraine in the face of military aggression from Trump* buddy Putin [R-RU].  The Republican lackeys in the Senate wouldn’t mind hearing witnesses themselves. They already know how guilty Trump* is and don’t care. Those Republican cowards are afraid to have American voters hear the witnesses.  RESIST!!

From YouTube  (SNL Channel):  Alan Dershowitz Argues for Trump Cold Open

The faces are slightly different, but the satirical reality they display is spot-on! However, Dershowitz should have taken his client downstairs and left him with his perv buddy Jeff! RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past):  Buffalo Springfield – For What It’s Worth 1967

It’s that time of week again, so here are four video clips from Bill’s show last night., three of which were excellent.  Enjoy!

Monologue: Knock Her Up!

I wonder if Republicans REALLY chanted that. It wouldn’t surprise me! Forget the coronavirus. Trump is a virus: colonavirus! Clinton got a BJ from Monica. Trump* is getting one from Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Poo.

Ingrid Newkirk: Animalkind


I wonder how many millions, if not billions, of animals owe their lives to Ingrid. Kudos!

Megyn Kelly

While I fully support her going after pervert and Trump* friend, Roger Ayles, her long term lack of integrity earned by spewing Republican propaganda, such as “Jesus is white” makes her a damp poor representative of #METOO!

New Rule: Big Show with Crazy Maniac

If Trump* is a comedian, than throwing-up is laughter. I do agree that Trump will try to become Fuhrer for life, after he loses.

Except for the excessive deference Bill showed a Faux Noise propagandist,  it was a great show.

RESIST!!

I’ve been throwing up most of the morning, but am pushing through, because I don’t want to get behind.  Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, so please expect no more than a Personal Update or an Open Thread.  Have a great weekend.

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: Desperately trying to change the narrative after a week of damaging presentations, Donald J. Trump’s defense team is scrambling to find an example of one law that Trump did not break, sources confirmed on Friday.

In concert with two of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent defenders, Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr, Trump’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow has been scouring federal, state, and municipal law books in the hopes of finding one statute that Trump, for whatever reason, did not violate.

“So far, no luck,” a source close to the defense team said.

Dang, Andy! They’re going to be searching forever! RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Attorney: Trump caught on tape demanding ambassador’s firing

I’d recognize that pig squeal anywhere! Is there anything that the criminal Trump* has not lied about? RESIST!!

From YouTube (Adam Schiff Channel): Rep. Schiff Concludes Senate Trial Argument: Give America a Fair Trial. She’s Worth It.

Schiff was masterful. Now get ready for wall to wall lies and obfuscation from the Republican Reich!  RESIST!!

It’s that time of week again, and here are 3 great video clips from Sam’s show Wednesday night.  Enjoy!

The Impeachment Trial: Show Us Parnas’ Receipts

If Parnas needs hemorrhoid cream, he must have VERY close contact with Rudy. Seriously, bring him on!

Iran Explainer with Gissou Nia & Michael Bennet

The proof that Soleimani was a war criminal is that he worked with the Republican Reich, until Trump* abandoned the Kurds. Trump murdered his own war criminal.

Paid Parental Leave Is Good For Business


American moms and dads need paid parental leave. Amen Sam!

I’m sure glad she’s back!

It’s finally that time of week again, so here are four excellent video clips from Bill’s show last night.  Enjoy!

Monologue: I Need a Vacation

 

One week of following Fuhrer Trump* could debilitate anyone. Look what it did to me! I agree that Trump* will deny knowing Don Jr. I want the Audible version of “A Very Stable Genius”.

Andrew Yang 2020

 

I like one thing about Yang. Employed, unemployed, and unemployable people all need a living wage.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi

 

Nancy made a good point about how 70% of the American people want to hear witnesses in Fuhrer Trump’s* pseudo-trial. Will Republicans listen to the people, or will they goose-step behind Fuhrer Trump* into political extinction?

New Rule: Your Not-So-Highness

 

There must be fifty ways to leave your Republicans. Here only Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten* insists on being called ‘Your Highness’, but Bought Bitch Moscow Mitch is lobbying for the title.

Eight weeks without this shoe was seven weeks too long.

RESIST!!

It’s a busy day, here in the CatBox.  It’s cold out, and we had a light dusting of snow.  WWWendy will come this evening to de-stink the raunchy TomCat, help with chores, and put out my out clothes for tomorrow.  Tomorrow is my preliminary appointment with the thoracic surgeon, who will excise my lung tumors.  I leave at around 7:00 AM and return around Noon.  Therefore, please expect no more than a minimal Personal Update from me tomorrow.  Happy Hump Day!

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: Rudolph Giuliani’s offer to act as Donald J. Trump’s defense attorney at the President’s impeachment trial has received unanimous support from congressional Democrats, who are now demanding that he perform such a role.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer told reporters on Tuesday that Giuliani’s participation as Trump’s lawyer during his Senate trial was, as far as they were concerned, “nonnegotiable.”

“Rudy Giuliani has demonstrated over the past three years that he can represent the President as no one else can,” Pelosi said. “If he is not the President’s lawyer in the Senate, that would be a deal-breaker for me.”

Concurring with Pelosi, Schumer added, “My Democratic colleagues in the Senate are prepared to pay Mr. Giuliani’s hourly fees, in cash, to make this thing happen.”

Dang, Andy! That would be wonderful! With Rudy 911 representing his Fuhrer, even Bought Bitch Moscow Mitch might vote to convict and remove!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Shocking New Evidence Rocks Trump Impeachment Before Senate Trial

 

Marie Jovanovich should be very, very afraid. Robert F. Hyde, the Republican congressional candidate stalking her for Trump*, looks like as vile a Republican pervert as Judge Roy Moore, Injustice Kavanookie, or even the biggest pervert of all, impeached Fuhrer Trump*.  RESIST!!

From CBS: [BREAKING] House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has revealed the impeachment managers for President Trump’s upcoming Senate trial, naming the members who will prosecute the case against the president on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

She announced her selections Wednesday morning:

  • House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff
  • House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler
  • Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren
  • Congressman Hakeem Jeffries
  • Congresswoman Val Demings
  • Congressman Jason Crow
  • Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia

Godspeed, one and all!  RESIST!!
