Tidbits And Cat Treats: Haul Out The Holly Edition


By Sniffles

We cats were out on our COVID-careful errands today and got behind a car with... wait for it... a fir tree strapped to its roof. Whut! It's not even Turkey Day yet. It seems that pandemicked-out people need a little Christmas now.

It's fine with us, as long as they stay home, use masks, practice social distancing and don't act like MAGA fools. The hospitals here in New York are not jam-packed like they are in the red states, and we'd like to keep it that way, thank you.

In the meantime, there's plenty of news today that lends to the holiday cheer. We're tracking it in case you're busy stringing the popcorn and untangling the twinkle lights:

We don't often agree with Chris Christie, but yes, Benedict Donald's "elite strike force" legal team is an embarrassment. Not for us, naturally, but for Trump and the entire GOP. A few more Republicans have inched forward to say publicly that Trump's silly game needs to end: Christie, who probably thinks Jared and Rudy blocked him from becoming AG four years ago, and Michigan Congressman Fred Upton, who is friendly with Joe Biden. John Bolton has been his blunt self. And Larry Hogan got into a cat fight with Trump on Twitter! Don't string all the popcorn yet — this movie's not over.

Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler has tested positive for COVID. So has Florida's first Martian Governor (now Senator). Did they catch it at that November 11 fundraising event that the Martian did for Loeffler and David Perdue? If so, who else got it there? Pass more popcorn, please.

On the subject of Georgia, here's a fun idea: Some MAGAts are threatening to boycott the Senate run-off if the Republican Party doesn't make sure that Trump wins. In the words of one: "For any Republicans not explicitly helping Trump to 'stop the steal,' we will make sure you are never elected ever again." Great! Keep up the good work, guys, and if you do go to the polls on January 5, write in Trump's name for both Senate races.

Finally, let's not forget what this coming Thursday is, and take a moment to appreciate what we can be grateful for — like the election of Joe Biden as President and Kamala Harris as VP. We're even grateful for Emily Murphy. Every time we see a picture of her, we're reminded that we have to watch Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We cats PURR.
