Thank goodness we cats are headed for Canada soon. There's so much awful news these days that we can't wait to get away from it all and get high. (We're talking about tuna. Why, what did you think we meant?)
Nevertheless, we've seen a few glimmers of light amid the darkness: Elijah Cummings. The ACLU lawsuit. Governors refusing to send their National Guards to the border (or, if they're already there, calling them back). Protests and demonstrations springing up, with more to come. A young girl shouting "Mr. President? FUCK YOU!" at Trump in the Rotunda today. Kirstjen Nielsen hounded out of a DC Mexican restaurant by activists screaming "SHAME!"
Yup. Nielsen was dining Mexican. Wish we could have been there to throw a whole dulce de leche in her face.
Meanwhile, our journalists continue to disappoint, still pretending they have to give the Trumpsters the respect or deference that a normal (non-Nazi) Administration deserves. Check out this headline from The Washington Post: "President Trump Seems to Be Saying More and More Things that Aren't True."
Why the delicacy? Why not just say, "Is Lying More"? "Lying" is a good, short, to-the-point word. Perfect for headlines.
Today we also caught Newsweek using the word "Democrat" as an adjective. Republican hate speech, twice in two paragraphs.
At least there's Rachel Maddow, who broke down as she tried to read the news that Trump is interning babies in "tender age" camps. One of the most moving moments in live reporting since Walter Cronkite in November 1963. Thanks to Rachel, we PURR as well as HISS.
