Tidbits And Cat Treats: Friday Before Christmas Edition

By Sniffles

About mid-afternoon, we cats noticed that our email was slowing down. (With a couple of exceptions, of course. There are always exceptions.) Still, we have some political questions on our minds. So if you've adjourned to the nearest pub for the weekend and are reading this, here they are.

Former Senator Jeff Flake has published an op-ed in The Washington Post. "The President Is On Trial. So Are My Senate Republican Colleagues." JFC, do we care what Jeff Flake has to say? BIG no. Jeff, you were worthless when you were in office — voting for Kavanaugh and what-not — so you're even more worthless now. Go away.

There's a state representative in Washington State who, according to an independent investigation inspired by coverage from The Guardian, was engaged "in an act of domestic terrorism against the United States" — yep, you read that right — by planning armed conflicts against the government. Naturally, he's a Republican. We're trying to figure out why people like this run to serve in a government they clearly hate. Kinda makes you think all the accusations about "the deep state" are just more Trumpy projections.

Yes, we are very, very worried about the notion that the President of the United States is taking direction from Vladimir Putin.

We've probably visited a wine cave or two in our time, but haven't thought much about them — until last night. Now, we've decided that we want one. Santa, we hope you're listening.

Holy smokes — watch this video of Trump in an interview with Wolf Blitzer, praising Nancy Pelosi, and you will be amazed at his deterioration. Not just politically — mentally and verbally. Incredible.

Finally, in the category of Republicans Behaving Badly, let's give a special shout-out to former (and very bitter) GOP Governor Matt Bevin of Kentucky, who couldn't resist a final "fuck-you-out-the-door" pardoning of a bunch of murderers and decapitators.

Even Republicans were horrified (but what does that mean, in that pathetic party?). What revolts us most is that Bevin decided a child rapist was innocent because his nine-year-old victim's hymen was still intact. More proof that GOP men have no idea how women's and girls' bodies work. So why do Republican women still entrust their destinies to them? A question for the ages. We cats HISS.
