Questions For A Friday Night

By Miss Kubelik

The question is whether teabaggers and haters fired up by a Latino organization's hard-hitting campaign ad will outnumber Hispanic voters at the polls next Tuesday and hand the Virginia Governor's race to Chinless Ed Gillespie and his racist campaign.

Why are we asking? Because the State Department has just sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security recommending that the protected status of 300,000 Central American and Haitian immigrants be withdrawn. So we'll see if anger over the threat of actual deportation cancels out faux Tiki Torch outrage.

And we want to know even more:

The question is whether Donna Brazile will ever explain why she chose this week to make confusing and apparently untrue charges about the 2016 Clinton campaign and the DNC. The question is also whether Brazile will end up apologizing (since she's already trying to walk it back). And whether we cats will ever restore Donna Brazile to our "People We'd Like to Have a Beer With" list.

The question is whether we'll ever find out the identity of the Twitter employee who deactivated Trump's account and whether we'll be able to shake his hand and give him a Daniel Webster cigar.

The question is whether the citizens who rose up against the Obamacare repeal will realize that the Republicans' tax bill ends Obamacare mandates and would effectively destroy healthcare — and whether those citizens will rally against it in equal numbers.

Finally, the question is whether the United States will give in to authoritarianism. So far we think the answer is no. But we're not sure, and that makes us nervous. We cats HISS.
