It’s a hectic week, here in the CatBox.  Today, I want to get as much rest as I can.  Tomorrow, WWWendy works at both her day and night job, and Dianna, my home palliative care nurse is on vacation, so Anne, my alternate home palliative care nurse is coming to change my patch.  Thursday morning, WWWendy is coming a day late to destink the raunchy TomCat, help with chores, and semi-goop.  It’s also grocery delivery day from Store to Door.  First thing Friday morning, WWWendy is taking me to the hospital for a CAT Scan, and we’ll pick up a pizza on the Way home.  Saturday morning is my regular WWWendy Day, and Tuesday morning  WWWendy is taking me for my next infusion or for Evelyn to tell me they aren’t helping (the news we DON’T want).  In any case, color me intermittent at best for a week.  Is that hectic enough?  It’s Tuesday so Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom to flush your Republicans!

Short Takes:

From SCOTUS Blog: A deadlocked Supreme Court on Monday let stand a lower-court ruling that requires Pennsylvania election officials to count absentee ballots received within three days after Election Day, Nov. 3, even if they are not postmarked. In two brief orders issued shortly after 7 p.m., the justices denied, without explanation, a request by Republicans to put the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s ruling on hold. Four justices – Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – indicated that they would have granted the Republicans’ request.

The order came in a lawsuit filed by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party that challenged various aspects of the state’s absentee-ballot system in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, citing a voting-rights provision of the state’s constitution, ordered several modifications to voting rules, including extending the deadline by which mail-in ballots must be received in order for them to be counted. Previously, that deadline was Election Day, but the state court ruled that ballots should be counted if they are received up to three days after Election Day unless a “preponderance of the evidence” shows that a ballot was mailed after Election Day. That means that ballots lacking clear postmarks may be counted if received by Nov. 6. [emphasis added]

If Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch had already confirmed Amy Coney Bullshit, some PA voters would have lost their right to vote, because Trump* delayed the delivery of those votes by postal sabotage. How many of our rights will we lose when 5 Republican Injustices always vote with SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional venereal disease)? We now have 4 always SCROTUS, 1 usually SCROTUS, 1 moderate, 2 center-left, and Bullshit SCROTUS on-deck.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Ex-GOP strategist on Trump’s GOP: ‘Burn it down and start over’

 

Cornhole Cornyn is just trying to duck his fair share of blame for all the Republican policies that he espoused long before Trump*, and that both he and Trump* supported. I half-disagree with Stevens. By all means, burn down the Republican Reich. But why start over? Burn it down, and leave it that way!  Build an entirely new party to the left of today’s Democrats, but as long as the Republican Reich exists, the Democrats are the ONLY sane choice!  RESIST!!

It’s a tired day here in the CatBox.  Yesterday we made a few new things to eat.  For lunch, I had BBQ chicken wings and rice.  That was spectacular! For supper I had Campbell’s chunky soup.  For breakfast I has Cream of Wheat.  Yesterday I also did the most important thing I shall do in what’s left of my life.  I voted Blue no matter who top to bottom!!  I did manage a badly needed nap this morning.  Oh God, it’s Monday!

Do you think Amy Coney Grabbit has given access to her Fuhrer?  I suspect it depends on whether her husband ordered her to do so.

From Crooks and Liars: Senator Susan Collins is acknowledging that her political action committee, “Dirigo PAC” has donated money to a pair of northern Maine candidates for the state legislature who believe in QAnon.

 

This is what the Republican Reich considers “moderate”: raising money for QAnon candidates. ARGH!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Then and now: See Electoral College projection 16 days before election

 

PLEASE, America! Remember who badly we blew it four years ago! No matter how good the numbers look, we are certainly capable of selling our nation into permanent National Socialist tyranny, if we get complacent about defeating criminal Fuhrer Trump*! RESIST!!

From NY Times: It is a phrase that has been constantly invoked by Democratic and Republican leaders. It has become the clearest symbol of the mood of the country, and what people feel is at stake in November. Everyone, it seems, is fighting for it.

“This campaign isn’t just about winning votes. It’s about winning the heart and, yes, the soul of America,” 

The Times is just a bit off. Democrats want America’s souls. Republicans want America’s assholes.  RESIST!!

Both Carrey and Baldwin are more worthy of your votes than Criminal Fuhrer Trump*. However, Trump* has conducted extensive studies of perversion, assisted by his pal, Jeff Epstein.  RESIST!!

It’s a groggy day here in the CatBox.  I slept poorly last night, but I took a nap this morning and just woke up.  Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update, as it’s a morning WWWendy day and we lave lots of semi-gooping and chores to do.  Have a great weekend!

From Daily Kos: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, continues to be a tremendous waste of Senate space and one of the reasons why America Is Going To Hell Right Now…

…Yeah. Yeah, that’s the takeaway from the Amy Coney Barrett hearings, which should not have been held due to multiple members of the Senate committee testing positive for a deadly disease. The hearings that were scheduled on such a rush basis, in order to beat the upcoming election, that the nominee for the Supreme Court appeared to have done absolutely no preparation for whatsoever, whether it was in the disclosure of past political advocacy, the review of her past legal opinions, or skimming through the Constitution of the United States a few times so that she could answer basic questions about what is in it. The hearings that did not require the nominee to take “notes” because there were no questions asked by the United States Senate that the nominee felt compelled to further contemplate or return with fuller answers on.

It was the best. Why can’t we handle all impossibly consequential, history-altering nominations to the nation’s highest court with no preparation and knock through them in two days? Maskless hugs all around!

As much as I hate to say anything bad about a Democrat, even a barely nominal DINO, on the eve of an election, I could not be more frustrated with DiFi’s lick-spittle approach to Amy Coney Bullshit and Lindsey Poo when neither warrants more than condemnation in the strongest possible terms.  She is up for reelection in 2024.  Remember this then!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): QAnon and Trump: Hear what his supporters think

Barf Bag Alert!!

 

Why should criminal Fuhrer Trump* denounce QAnon? Anyone stupid enough to believe their garbage are stupid enough to vote for Trump*? The problem is that these idiotic GOP Sheeple are far more likely to vote than the majority of Americans.  RESIST!!
