It’s another tired day here in the CatBox.  Instead of taking a nap to rest my back, I’m waiting for Molly, my physical therapist, to arrive and make recommendations.  Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, and she’s coming early in the morning to destink the raunchy TomCat, do chores, and prepare edible food.  Therefore, please expect no more than a brief Personal Update.  Tuesday is Flush your Republicans Day.  Be careful.  They’re getting desperate these days.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 4:15 (average 6:11).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Trump* Virus Update (an occasional feature from now on):

US Cases: 10,428,603
US Deaths: 244,521
Plus the Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding

Short Takes:

From Daily Kos: President-elect Joe Biden’s campaign was never quiet about what the first goal of a Biden administration would be: to undo Trumpism. Undo as many of Donald Trump’s racist, white nationalist, fact-averse, science-hostile orders and policies as possible, as soon as possible, and return the United States to something approaching competent normalcy.

Fortunately for the next Democratic administration, the Trump Team made heavy use of executive orders and regulatory “reinterpretations” in their efforts to sabotage prior government policies. That means those moves can be undone by the very same mechanisms.

It might be easier for Joe to reverse that approach. Here is the complete list of everything Trump* and the Republican Reich have not broken:
[begin here]…

…[end of list].
RESIST!!

From YouTube (Raw Story Channel): Lindsey Graham: Overturn this election or ‘there will never be another Republican president’

 

First, may this election stand. Second, may Lindsey Poo be absolutely correct that there will never be another Republican Resident.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Trump’s Attempt to Steal the Election Won’t Work

 

Thank God the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. To complete the process, the Reich on the Right, the Republican Reich, needs to follow their Fuhrer around the bowl and down the drain.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Beatles – Come Together

 

People of America, reject the Republican Reich and come together!  RESIST!!

Now This News – a Jon Ossoff video (about 6 minutes) and a vid on the work of artists in India

This is a parody of Avenger: Endgame which may need a hanky alert. I hope the embed works I’ve never tried a direct embed from C&L before.

Not much dialogue, but – Trump: If you take a look at the states we’ve won, and then look at the margins we won them by, frankly, we did win this election. Biden: Will you shut up, man. Obama: We can’t just imagine a better future. We’ve got to fight for it. Sanders: Is that everyone? Yang: What, you wanted more? Biden: Now, every vote must be counted. No one’s going to take our democracy away from us….Avengers!

This is for Lona (not that she hasn’t already seen it – I’m confident she has – but share on her behalf, so to speak.

Apparently this is an actual movie trailer. I’d love to see the movie!

I promised TC I would say “AMEN” here, and so I am.

This is the full event for anyone who missed it. I won’t be hurt if no one watches it, but I thought it should be in our files.

Beau – and AMEN. Again.

I am not expecting to hear from Keith today, but I doubt he is through. We have a “transition” to get through. I think, first, he will stay with us through then, and second, he will tell us when he does the last broadcast he intends to do. But we shall see.

These posts may become shorter now that the voting, if not the counting, has finished, but I think there are going to be plenty of videos to find and share. There are a lot of creative people out there.

The special election for the other Senate seat in Georgia will be January 5. Normally I don’t ask anyone to give in these situations because I can’t. This time I did. So i’m asking anyone who can to make a donation for our last chance to get the Senate.

Now This News – a few down ballot results

Beau on getting the message out. He mentions Ed Trevors. I’d add John Pavlovitz. And there are many others.

Keith doesn’t look to be going away any time soon. After all, we have a transition to get through.

I am putting up two links to analyses which are too long for this venue. Some of the short ones are serious, some are intended to lighten us up a little. I am posting early so as not to delat the petitions, but if (as I expect) Keith posts around 3 pm, I will edit to add him.

The Biden Campaign has a couple of half-hour videos up on what they are doing to protect the election.

The Lincoln Project is (or was) having a live Zoom event answering questions. If it’s over, it will still be up.

Now This News

Trae on Civil War Two-y

PACRONYM – Orange Faced Prison Blues

If you have been blessed to see this show in a theater, you don’t need this video. But – if not –

This Beau cast was posted 11/2, but I held it till after the election because it’s more important for what I hope will be the Reconstruction. Specifically reorganizing police departments. (And it also speak highly of at least some high school journalism students.)

Update – Yes, Keith has posted.

And you knew “Count the Vote” petitions were going to come along, right?
