Is it Friday yet? We cats admit it: This week has left us reeling. Temporarily, of course. Being cats, we always land on our feet.
To that end, we have some notes of defiance that we'd like to share before our next nap.
Dear political media, could you please knock off the "Democrats divided" crap? The vast majority of us know that now is not the time to be shy, retiring and polite. And Joe Crowley losing his primary didn't exactly shock us (not after that debate performance he turned in). We are fine — thank you for your "concern."
Although Anthony Kennedy voted to uphold equal rights for our friends and loved ones in the LGBTQ community, and was okay but not great on reproductive rights, he's a conservative. It's not like Trump is replacing Breyer or Ginsburg. But we get it. And we want to see a knock-down, drag-out fight against whatever yahoo the sociopath in the Oval Office nominates.
And oh, yes — per the McConnell rule, after the midterms. Heck, why not after the next Presidential election?
Meanwhile, while we political animals are consumed with SCOTUS and November and all the other hideous headlines filling our furry heads, migrant children are still being detained, and some will have to face deportation proceedings alone. Somehow, under Trump the United States has become a leading human rights abuser. But the Women's March folks aren't taking it lying down (even though they're wearing foil blankets as hundreds of them protest in the Hart Senate Office Building). Good on you, girls! We cats PURR.
