Tidbits And Cat Treats: Boxing Day/First Day Of Kwanzaa Edition

By Miss Kubelik

We cats refuse to hop onto any "end of the decade" bandwagon. It is not the end of a decade! And anyway, even if it were, who cares? Here are some other, far more worthy, thoughts that are occupying us between naps.

Speaking of ridiculous memes we want no part of, the alleged "war" between Baby Boomers and Millennials is as phony as the "war" on Christmas.

The only war we see right now is the one going on between evangelicals. It seems that the vastly immoral gangster and grifter known as Donald Trump is the hill that some so-called Christians have chosen to die on. Now, with the Christian Post set to go after Christianity Today for calling for Trump's impeachment and removal, the Post's politics editor is preparing to quit. It's amazing that Trump is any self-professed Christian's hero. Is controlling women's bodies really that important to them?

Perhaps you remember Paul Gosar, the bizarre nutjob Republican Congressman from Arizona whose own siblings campaigned against him? He appears to be vying for the Donald Trump Wackiest Twitter Rampages prize this week. On Christmas Eve, he tweeted (and retweeted) an endless clip of the Clintons' brush with a falling Klieg light on "60 Minutes" in 1992. Nobody's really sure what he's trying to say with that, although Chelsea Clinton had a snappy riposte. Now, he's bleating about lefties going after everyone's guns, which has gotten him on Fred Guttenberg's bad side. Our advice to Gosar: It's Christmas. Try not to hate just for a day.

Finally, take note of this: Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has put a tiny dent in Senate Republicans' wall of ignorant support for the now-impeached Donald Trump. While we disagree with Murkowski's assessment that the House should have waited for the courts to force Don McGahn and Mick Mulvaney to testify — they had more than enough evidence to proceed — let's give Murkowski the room she needs to influence other members of her party. Slamming her on social media won't help. She voted against Kavanaugh, remember. We cats PURR.
