It’s very busy day here at the CatBox, but I am feeling better than yesterday. Tomorrow and Monday please expect no more than Personal Updates or Open Threads. Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, with all the normal chores plus it’s Infernal Revenue Day. Monday, I go to the hospital to have an infusion port surgically installed in my chest. WWWendy will bring me home. Tuesday will depend on how I feel after that surgery. Love to you all!

Does that say it all, or what? RESIST!!
From YouTube (Real Time Channel): Sen. Bernie Sanders
Click through using the channel link for the rest of Bill’s show. I don’t have time to submit an article on it this week, but it’s there for you. As for Bernie, he could not be more spot on in his outlook for dealing with the effects of Trump* virus. Looking to the future, Trump and the Republican Reich have trashed the economy so completely that tying health care to employment is no longer feasible. On Bill’s ‘Manhattan Project’, we need health care that bases profit on wellness. We have healthcare that bases profit on sickness. That’s bass-ackward! RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Maddow to Trump: You Had One Job. Virus Response Needs Competent Leadership
This is one of Rachel’s best ever! Kate Brown, Governor of Oregon, just lent respirators to New York. Oregon leads the way! Kate is as competent and caring as criminal Fuhrer Trump* and all his Republican lackeys are incompetent and uncaring. Incompetence is a hallmark of the Republican Reich, such as Katrina and the Republican Recession of 2008. What do we say of the Trump* virus pandemic and the Republican Depression of 2020? It’s Trump’s* job, so we say “Heck of a job, Donnie*!” RESIST!!

Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
