There are multiple storms brewing today — with some already passed, like yesterday's New York primary. We cats are starting to settle in for a pleasant evening of jazz, but before we do that we have a few thoughts.
We were not surprised that Andrew Cuomo squished Cynthia Nixon for Governor of New York. His victory was tempered by the ousting of the IDC Democrats from the state Senate, which makes us happy all around. Andrew needs some checks, and maybe the progressives who beat the IDCers will provide that. And our vote was confirmed by Nixon's sour-grapes concession. Sorry, Cynthia, but in our opinion when more people go to the polls, it's a good thing.
Paul Manafort is cooperating with the Mueller investigation. We assume this is good for America and bad for Donald Trump. (Apologies for the redundancy.) We will refrain from cheering, however, until we get more of an idea of what that cooperation entails. The American system of justice can be a real nail-biter. It's not a sporting event.
Sorry, but you can't get 65 women who weren't raped by Brett Kavanaugh to sign a letter overnight. The Republicans clearly knew about the allegations ages ago. Disgusting.
Finally, Hurricane Florence is bearing down on the Carolinas, but yesterday Donald Trump decided to cast the deaths of 3,000 Americans in Hurricane Maria as a Democratic conspiracy instead. Trump is obviously barely human. Our condolences go out to the families of the Maria deceased. They deserved so much better in so many ways. And so do the rest of us (Trump voters excluded). We cats HISS.
