Twitter Will Not Be Cowed

By Baxter

We cats like cows. Not just because they appear to like us, but they give milk, and we like milk. Yes, cows contribute to global warming, but as President Kennedy said, our problems are man-made, and they can be solved by man. (Or woman.)

Republican Congressman and all-around Trumpy quisling Devin Nunes does not like cows. At least, he does not like a parody Twitter account called Devin Nunes' Cow — so much so that he's suing it, and Twitter, and everyone else who's hurt his widdle feewings, for $250 million.

We heard about this and immediately decided to follow Devin Nunes' Cow. The account is now up to 226,000 followers, up from a couple thousand mere hours ago.

It's all very a-moo-zing, and Nunes is an idiot — but stop laughing for a second and realize what he's doing here: trying to silence political opponents by tying them up in frivolous lawsuits and costing them untold dollars in legal fees.

How despicable. How un-American. How Trumpian.

We cannot wait for this horrifying chapter in our nation's history to be over, and for all these acolytes of Benedict Donald to crawl back under their rocks where they belong. In the meantime, spare good thoughts for the cow. We cats PURR.
