Tidbits And Cat Treats: Fun February Factoids

By Baxter

Surveying the political landscape, we cats see a hodgepodge of curiosities. Here are a few that we're mulling over this evening.

Michael Bloomberg opened an office in New Hampshire the day after the primary. Counterintuitive? Not! Remember, he's in it all the way to November, no matter who the nominee is. And if Al Gore had carried New Hampshire and its four electoral votes in 2000, he would have won the Presidency outright. No Bush v. Gore. No Bush.

Democrats will have to work hard to raise money for their Presidential and Congressional candidates, so we can compete against the Trumpsters' deep pockets. But if Bloomberg is the Democratic nominee, folks won't have to send him a dime. Which means that a lot of money will be freed up for our House and Senate races. Another reason to think about liking Mike.

Clearly William Barr's little act today was a nefarious ruse to keep the New York City bar from going after his law license — or to stave off impeachment and worse. (Democrats still hold the House, you know.)

The Pentagon is diverting $3.83 billion from its budget to build Benedict Donald's stupid border wall. Here's your daily reminder that Trump always said Mexico would pay for it.

Bernie Sanders should release his medical records like he said he would. That is all. We cats HISS.
