Tidbits And Cat Treats: Daddy Issues Edition

By Miss Kubelik

Are you ready to firebomb something? If you're female, you might be. Lots of amazed men are tweeting to ask why women don't have enraged meltdowns and stage mass shootings every day. We've wondered the same thing ourselves lately — but here are a few other thoughts we're kicking around between naps.

Michael Bloomberg just gave $20 million to help flip the Senate to Democrats. That's on top of the $80 million he gave to Democrats running for the House of Representatives. You know what? Michael Bloomberg doesn't strike us as a guy who throws a lot of money at bad investments. (Insert smiley emoticon here.)

Benedict Donald sank to new lows at his Mississippi "show" last night, as the world well knows (well, maybe not the folks at "Morning Joe"). But here's a question: How many people attended? News reports we saw said "thousands." Was it 58,000? Because that's the number of people who rallied for Beto O'Rourke in Austin on Saturday night.

Here's the danger in Trump's latest behavior: He's made fun of a disabled journalist, a Viet Nam POW, a Gold Star family, and — now — a woman who's made a credible charge of sexual assault. There are respectable numbers of disabled people, former POWs and Gold Star families in the United States who are probably already pissed off. But there are 167 million females. Stay tuned.

Finally, we cats are gratified that The New York Times has so effectively outed the Trumps as the crime family they are. It's abundantly clear that the nightmare that is Donald Trump sprang completely from his deep-seated need to deny his father's enabling. But while teasing out psychological issues aren't necessarily the job of the media, responsible coverage of candidates for President certainly is. Where was the Times in 2015-2016? Ohhhh, right... "her emails." We cats SNARL.
