Meltdown

By Baxter

Well, thanks to Benedict Donald, we're back to The Wizard of Oz again. We cats don't watch the daily propaganda sh*tshow that emanates daily from the White House these days — we prefer to nap, eat tuna or watch Governor Andrew Cuomo — but from what we can tell, today's "briefing" was worthy of the Wicked Witch.

On top of flailing wildly, berating reporters, and showing crazy videos, Trump went full Nixon this afternoon, times 10. Gee — remember those quaint days when Tricky Dick told David Frost, "When the President does it, it's not illegal"? Good times. (At least Nixon burped out that little beauty after he'd left office, when he was no longer a threat.)

If Donald Trump were not a disordered personality, if he weren't a sociopath, if he were even remotely human, we'd almost feel bad for him — because, as his performance today showed, he's obviously completely rattled about the multiple analyses of his coronavirus failures (by The Washington Post, then The New York Times, and now, USA Today). But then we think about the 23,604 Americans who have died from COVID-19 so far, and we're like, nuh-uh.

People have not only lost loved ones, they were unable to be with them when they died, and can't even hold funerals. They'll be scarred forever. But Benedict Donald has had zero — absolutely zero — words of condolence for them. Sociopaths can't comfort people. But as we've seen, they melt down rather easily.

You think today was bad? Wait till Trump finds out that his Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate just lost last week's election. You remember: The one where the Republicans forced Wisconsinites to put their lives at risk and vote during a pandemic? Gosh! The GOP got the election they wanted — and still had their butts handed to them. We cats PURR.
