The news sure has been awful for the sociopath who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, hasn't it? We cats are pleased, although it's glee tempered with the knowledge that the country is going to hell in a handbasket. Still, the headlines have inspired some wonderment in our furry little brains. Here are a few examples.
Donald Trump claims he's going to hit the GOP campaign trail "six or seven days a week" this fall. That's a lie, of course — first because he always lies, and second because there aren't enough endangered Republicans in the country who will invite him to their districts. But it got us wondering: Will Trump spend all his time in West Virginia? The yahoos there seem to love him, he constantly needs rallies to boost his fragile ego, and the state is close enough to Washington and New York that he can always be home in his own bed. Bet on it.
Beto O'Rourke is getting lots of kudos today for a brilliant answer he gave a voter who asked whether O'Rourke supported football players taking a knee. "I can think of nothing more American," Beto explained after he eloquently placed the NFL protest in the context of the civil rights movement. What struck us is that the questioner was a veteran who said he found the protests offensive. He sounded like a middle-aged white guy. What was he doing at Beto's event? We're thinking that he must be shopping for a candidate other than Ted Cruz if he showed up and didn't toss a bomb. He asked the question respectfully, and Beto answered it in kind. Something to think about.
Finally, Trump says he "feels very badly" about Paul Manafort's felony convictions, because Manafort is such "a good man" and has a wonderful family. We're puzzled. Is this the same Paul Manafort that Trump said was practically a stranger and hardly worked for his campaign? Something's not right. We cats HISS.
