Meidas Touch – new episode of Quaranteenies

Sound and Fury Messaging – Two – both for the Democratic Coalition
The Lincoln Project – Yes, we can see through it, but it’s not aimed at us. It’s aimed at giving ideologues an excuse to leave.
Keith promised us a new vlog every weekday, so we must be in withdrawal till Monday.

Keith was on time today – I was the one who was late.
It’d a crazy day here in the CatBox. WWWendy had last minute schedule change and is coming over two hours early. Please pardon my pit stop. TGIF!

Keith is late today, or else he is skipping a day. I’ll keep checking back, but as I said, if lateness occurs, there’s always the next day. Update – Yes, he was about 45 minutes late.
Supreme Court petition updates
In case you haven’t noticed, Daily Kos has multiple petitions (and is making more) on the Supreme Court, each with a different theme. By signing all, we can at least distract Republican Senators’ staffs.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. Last Night I caught most of the slaughter. Today is a grocery delivery day, and I have to put them away. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update, because it’s a morning WWWendy day. Today, here is a special treat from Mitch (ours, not Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow).
My wife and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and said, “Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?”
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an “asshole.” He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires. So, Shirley, my wife, called him a “shithead.” He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. He finally finished, sneered at us and walked away.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.
We always look for cars with Trump 2020 stickers. We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired. It’s so important at our age.
The one change I’d make is to pee in the gas tank before leaving!

Debate Summary:
What Pence said over and over: “You have a right to your own opinion, but not to your own facts! [Insert Lie Here]”
What Pence did over and over: Interrupt and hog the mic.
What the moderator should have said: “Pence, you asshole, Shut the F*CK UP!“
What Harris did: WIN!
Short Takes:
From NY Times: President Trump claimed on Wednesday that catching the coronavirus was “a blessing from God” and portrayed as a miracle cure the unproven therapeutic drug he was given after testing positive last week for the virus.
It could not have been a blessing from God. If it had, She would have made it a terminal illness. RESIST!!
From CNN: President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not participate in the second presidential debate with Joe Biden after the Commission on Presidential Debates said the event will be held virtually in the wake of the President’s positive coronavirus diagnosis.
“I am not going to do a virtual debate,” Trump said on Fox Business. “I am not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.”
Biden’s campaign on Thursday swiftly agreed to the virtual format. But Trump’s comment throws the debate into question after the commission took the significant step to wholly remake the event. The move was seen as needed by members of the debate commission given the uncertainty around the President’s health.
Politically, if Trump skips the debate, he’ll be deprived of a platform that he needs at a time when his campaign is trailing in every national poll and in a number of key swing states. The first event was watched by more than 73 million people.
Why would Trump* do this? At a virtual debate, the moderator could unplug Trump’s* mic, when he bullies/interrupts the way he and Mr. Karen did during the first two debates. RESIST!!
From You Tube (a blast of protest): The Cranberries – Zombie (Official Music Video)
Ten years ago the Cranberries wondered what would be left of America after 2020. Criminal Fuhrer Trump wants to rule a nation of zombies! Protest like the 60s! RESIST!!

Dr. Fauci on “Onyx Family” playing “Two Truths and a Lie” (several rounds with background information added – about 13 min. total.)
James Corden “Maybe I’m Immune” Paul McCartney parody
Keith Olbermann Worst Person in the World – (~15 min) I’m crushed that there’s no CC. I can do a transcription but not as fast as I can put the video up … so it will be late. Also, in my hurry to provide everyone a Keith fix, I posted before I finished listening. So, yeah, it’s about 15 minutes, but the political opinion is about ten minutes, followed by about five minutes of headlines. He says that will approximately be the format going forward.

It’s a very tired day, here in the CatBox. WWWendy and I got home safely last night, after my infusion. We are scheduling another infusion, which we may cancel. In around three weeks I’ll have a CAT-Scan or a PET-Scan to judge whether the immunotherapy is working and go from there. I did research early this morning and took a long nap. I’m ready to go back to bed. Tomorrow is a grocery delivery day. This evening I plan to try to stay up to watch the slaughter. You guys had better do so too, in case I don’t make it. Happy Hump Day!

From The New Yorker: Mike Pence said that he was “extremely grateful” that the organizers of Wednesday night’s Vice-Presidential debate would be providing a plexiglass shield to protect him from a woman.
Speaking to reporters, Pence said that the Commission on Presidential Debates had taken “appropriate measures” to shield him from exposure to a female during the Salt Lake City face-off.
“I’ve read all the relevant literature, and from what I’ve learned a plexiglass shield provides adequate protection from a woman,” he said. “Knowing that this barrier exists between me and a member of the opposite sex, I feel comfortable about moving forward with the debate.”
Dang, Andy! Nothing can protect that lying Nazi pseudo-Christian! Kamala is going to tear Mr. Karen a new sphincter! RESIST!!

Ah… the memories! We want schools to teach kids HOW to think! Republicans want schools to teach kids WHAT to think! Protest like the 60s! RESIST!!
It’s a hospital/infusion day here in the CatBox, and I’m rushing to get a morning nap. I’ll probably be worn out this morning, so please expect little. Remember to flush your Republicans.
