Drumpf's Friday The 13th, Draped In Awfulness

By Baxter

This unluckiest of days could not have been worse for Donald Drumpf. It was a veritable news overload, but to start, let us cats list the things we will not discuss here.

We will not get into the whole should-journalists-have-published-the-emails-from-Wikileaks thing. At least, not yet. That is a huge discussion for another day, and today is already chock-full.

Nor will we get into how Trump, oblivious to others and full of himself as always, walked in front of the Queen at Windsor. Except to say — gosh, remember when Michelle Obama wore a sweater set to Buckingham Palace and touched the Queen as they spoke? The right wing lost its mind. We're not sure how they're reacting to Trump turning his back on Her Majesty today, but we figure that after he left, she just shrugged, rolled her eyes, kicked off her shoes and had another gin.

Nor will we mention that Melania's clothes will never matter again after that "I DON'T REALLY CARE, DO U?" jacket she wore to the border — but clearly she saw this yellow number in the window and decided she just had to have it. (Apologies to Carol Burnett.)

We'll also not get into the backtracking that Trump had to do after his Theresa May interview to the Sun, but we will note that A) he has problems with all women in authority, no matter their ages, and B) the Queen wore blue. Maybe she's hoping for a wave in November, too.

Here's what we do think is important: Overshadowing this entire visit, Robert Mueller today indicted 12 Russians for hacking the Democrats in 2016. This announcement, coming not just at the same time as Trump's nightmare NATO visit and on the eve of his meeting with his boss, oops, Vladimir Putin — but a mere day after the House GOP tried to beat up a defiant FBI agent — is not coincidental.

In fact, in our eyes there's one indisputable fact: Mueller is not done. Charges against colluding Americans are on the way. We cats believe in justice and the rule of law, and we PURR.
