Tidbits And Cat Treats: Last Sunday In July Edition


By Sniffles

We cats have begun venturing out into the world of restaurants, but this past Friday night was a reminder that it still pays to be careful. A party of Trumpsters, complete with red T-shirts and "Make America Great Again" hats, came in behind us. No masks, of course, and — we bet — no vaccinations. We gave them a wide berth.

Here are some other topics we're thinking about today:

Any Trumpster who cites HIPAA as their excuse not to say whether they're vaccinated should lose their HIPAA rights forever. (No, asking people to disclose their vaccination status is not a violation of HIPAA in any way. HIPAA applies to third-party disclosures. End of lesson.)

Benedict Donald and his sad-idiot crowd at the Phoenix rally last night booed the US women's Olympic soccer team. Wow. Not only would this make old-timey Republicans like Reagan and Bush spin in their graves — openly rooting against an American Olympic team? — there might be no more efficient way to alienate half the young women in the US and every one their suburban soccer parents.

It appears that everybody's new hero — the Montana Man who confronted Tucker Carlson in a Livingston fly-fishing store — is named Dan Bailey. He posted the now-viral video of the incident on his Instagram account and said, "It's not every day you get to tell someone he's the worst person in the world and really mean it!" Hooray for Dan, but let's hope he watches his back. Surely the death threats have already started.

Finally, here's our favorite tweet of the day: "If Ted Cruz is upset about the Cleveland Indians changing their name, just wait until he finds out about how he started going by Ted instead of Rafael to appeal to racists." We cats PURR.
