It’s a busy day, here in the CatBox.  Store to Door is delivering a very large grocery order late this morning or early this afternoon.  It’s big, because WWWendy’s last day is Tuesday, before she is out of town for nine days visiting relatives.  So, I’ll need a nine day supply of goop.  Thursday is flush your Republicans day.  I hope my laxative works.

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: In a scandal that threatens to upend Donald Trump’s Presidency, a new book accuses Trump of paying Vice-President Mike Pence to take his coronavirus tests for him.

According to the book, “Swapping Swabs: Trump’s Pandemic of Lies,” when the subject of being tested for the virus first came up, in March, Trump started casting about for a “good test-taker” to substitute for him.

Trump considered several candidates for the ruse, including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and the Attorney General, William Barr, but ultimately settled on Pence, who agreed to take the tests for the fee of twenty-five dollars per result.

Dang, Andy! That should not be worded as an accusation. It should be worded as a fact!  RESIST!!

It’s a tired day here in the CatBox.  I had to spend so much time trying to arrange medical mayhem for when WWWendy is out of town later this month that I missed my morning nap.  ARGH!!  TGIF!

I’m sure we can expect interference from AG Barrf to undermine this case. If Maxwell is convicted and imprisoned, criminal Fuhrer Trump* will have a more difficult time finding underage girls to assault, when he’s not in Russia.  RESIST!!

This is my only article today, because I’m running so late.  Three software items needed to update.  My research took much longer than usual.  There was a SNAFU converting my meds to liquid, and I spent two hours on the phone cleaning up the mess, and then, my computer ate this entire article, so you’re reading a rewrite from scratch.  Please expect no more than Open Threads or Personal Updates tomorrow and Monday.  Tomorrow, WWWendy plans to lower my ears, before de-stinking the rancid TomCat.  We also have a lot of gooping to do, so it will be a very busy day.  Monday I have a consultation with Evelyn and pick up a big bottle of pain meds.  I hope you all have a great weekend.

Trump* Virus Update:

Deaths: 1,708
Recovered: 2,530

I hove no doubt that US cases/capita are artificially very low, because criminal Fuhrer Trump* has made getting a test virtually impossible.

Short Takes:

From Vox: President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will not adhere to a portion of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill that would authorize an inspector general to oversee how $500 billion in business loans will be spent.

In a statement released early Friday evening, Trump announced that he had signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security or CARES Act, a relief package aimed at mitigating some of the economic fallout caused by efforts to allay the spread of Covid-19.

That bill also establishes a Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery (SIGPR) within the Treasury Department to audit and investigate half a trillion dollars in loans for large businesses. In his signing statement, Trump said that this provision raises “constitutional concerns,” adding that his administration would not comply with such an official’s request for documents.

Congress also has oversight, and if criminal Fuhrer Trump* stonewalls again, it’s time for Congress to make him criminal Fuhrer Trump**.  Nobody else will have ever been impeached twice.  RESIST!!

From TPM: President Donald Trump reportedly wants his own personal touch on the assistance checks from the $2.2 trillion relief package.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is pushing for his signature on the $1,200 checks that many individual Americans will soon receive now that the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has been signed into law.

Don Hammond, a former official at the Treasury Department, told the Wall Street Journal that a disbursing officer’s signature would ordinarily be on the checks.

Under the new law, single American adults making $75,000 or less will receive $1,200, while married couples will receive $2,400 if they earn a combined total of $150,000 or less. The amount gradually decreases for those making over those two income figures.

There is no way that criminal Fuhrer Trump* should be allowed to take credit for the aid to common people, that he fought tooth and nail against, as an election SCAM.  RESIST!!

It’s a busy day, here in the CatBox, as WWWendy will be here in less than two hours.  I couldn’t keep my supper down last night, but I did manage a small bowl of Cheerios this morning.  Yesterday I meditated on the Holy Orb.  Congrats Pat.  Was that a comeback, or what?  Kudos to Tennessee, for eliminating the team that licks Trump’s* sphincter!

Doesn’t this make it plain to see why Bought Bitch Moscow Mitch is so anxious to prevent witness testimony at the sham trial he plans to protect his Fuhrer, Trump*?  RESIST!!

From BBC: President Trump has warned the US is “targeting” 52 Iranian sites and will strike “very fast and very hard” if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets.

The president’s remarks followed the US assassination of Qasem Soleimani, a top Iranian general, in a drone strike.

Soleimani’s killing was a major escalation between the two nations, and Iran vowed to take “severe revenge”.

Writing on Twitter, Mr Trump accused Iran of “talking very boldly about targeting certain USA assets”.

He said the US had identified 52 Iranian sites, some “at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture”, and warned they would be “HIT VERY FAST AND HARD” if Tehran struck at the US.

The president said the targets represented 52 Americans who were held hostage in Iran for more than a year from late 1979 after they were taken from the US embassy in Tehran.

I understand Fuhrer Trump also said some were cultural sites, indicating his intent to attack civilians, while Iran stated that their retaliation would be against military targets. Trump and the Republican Reich are now threatening the war crime of military terrorism against women and children.  RESIST!!
