Hoovervilles, 2019

By Sniffles

We cats heartily endorse Chris Van Hollen's idea, that his fellow Senate Democrats should refuse to consider any unrelated legislation until the Senate votes to end the Trump Shutdown.

In the meantime, we hope that people are making videos of the garbage and other crap piling up in the national parks for our 2020 campaign ads. It's so obvious that Trump thought shutting down the government merely meant stiffing 800,000 federal employees, and nothing more. Emergency plans to use non-budgeted money to clean up the parks now would be laughable if they weren't so upsetting.

We also approve Richard Painter's suggestion that federal workers who can't pay their bills camp out in "Trump Towns" — and use the sanitary facilities — at Benedict Donald's Washington, DC hotel and at Trump Tower in New York. "The mayor and police chief can keep the place nice and clean, just like a detention center on the border," Painter says. "Keeping visitors and emoluments flowing into Trump properties is surely their top priority."

That merits a Cheshire cat grin! We also PURR.
