Lest We Furr-get: The Way It Used To Be

By Miss Kubelik

Benedict Donald's behavior was completely off the wall today — pun intended. We wonder how much more America can take. (At least, by tomorrow, the Democrats will be in charge in the House of Representatives. That can't happen quickly enough.)

In the meantime, though, Trump has gotten so weird that we've started feeling nostalgic again for how the White House used to run — you know, when a grownup was in charge. Will it be able to get back to normal after this Trump sociopath leaves?

We prefer to be optimistic and say yes. So here are some things we'd like to see:

High-level White House jobs and political appointments, including ambassadorships, will be filled. People will stay in them for more than a few days, weeks or months.

White House press briefings will not only take place more frequently, they will actually happen. Other press-related occasions like the holiday reception will also resume without fanfare. (We cats don't care about the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which is an idiotic event.)

The President will have shared his/her tax returns with the American people, and it will not be considered odd.

Cabinet officers will not lie, cheat or steal.

The White House will issue official statements and other documents without grammatical and punctuation errors.

Our allies will be our allies again, and not be insulted, hung up on, or otherwise made to feel nervous or unsure. Likewise, our adversaries will once more be rightfully wary and warned.

Nazis, white supremacists and other haters will stop feeling able to abuse minorities and other people in public.

Most important: The President will never, ever tweet. That will make us cats — and everybody — PURR.
