Madam President

By Sniffles

We cats are nocturnal creatures, so we don't mind taking a few moments before bedtime to report on Hillary Clinton's appearance in Montreal tonight.

Yes, Secretary Clinton did fracture her foot recently, and so she did take time to both come onstage and to rise from her chair after the Q&A. The right-wing nutcases over at Infowars have been spinning vast conspiracy theories about that for days now.

But the crowd of 3,500 of Hillary's closest Montreal friends couldn't have cared less. They cheered for her like — well, like she was President. Which in their minds — since she won 3 million more votes than Drumpf did — she was.

Did Hillary scare us about Russia? Yes, she did. The Russian disinformation campaign in this new Cold War is still going on. And there's no guarantee that the US electoral system in 2018 and beyond will be free and fair. Certainly this Administration is taking no steps to ensure it is.

Why was the pro-Trump, anti-Clinton disinformation successful? Because, Hillary said, "If you're peddling what you position as a 'secret,' people will believe that more than they'll believe what they see and hear for themselves." So okay, that explains Comet Ping Pong — and maybe a little bit more. Consider our eyes opened.

We cats HISS at Trump voters who live in their own strange little world — and we PURR forever in the direction of Hillary Clinton, who omigosh we wish lived in the White House now.
