Tidbits And Cat Treats: VRA Anniversary Edition


By Hubie and Bertie

Some people may say that the most important news story of today was the incredible July jobs report. Others insist it's Team Canada beating Sweden for the gold medal in women's Olympics soccer. But we think it's Biden's tan suit. (Gosh, Joe is good at this trolling stuff.) Here are a few other things that caught our attention this week:

Fifty-six years ago today, President Lyndon Johnson (above) signed the 1965 Voting Rights Act into law. Since then, Republicans and the Roberts Supreme Court have taken a hammer to it. Congress needs to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act now, please.

Our total viewing of the HBO documentary on Barack Obama isn't finished yet. But having just seen the final 20 minutes of the last installment, we have to say kudos to the filmmakers for including that shot of the Bidens at Obama's Chicago speech on January 10, 2017. It was as if they were saying, "Don't worry, everyone — Joe and Jill rescued us in the end."

Speaking of Joe's trolling, he clearly touched a nerve with the ever-unappealing, science-denying child killer Ron DeSantis in Florida. And that was before "Governor Who?" It's kind of interesting that, while Benedict Donald invented nicknames for people all the time, President Biden has only done it twice — and both times, the names stuck. (The other one? "The former guy.")

We don't understand why President Obama had to cancel his birthday party for 400 people when 700,000 idiots are expected in Sturgis, South Dakota, for a motorcycle rally. (Well, actually, we do — but just sayin'.)

We know that nobody who watches FOX "News" reads this blog, but it's really important that we just flat-out say that Hungary's Viktor Orban is not a good guy.

Finally, it's tough to be compassionate about the unvaccinated dude with COVID who's in the hospital and freaking out because he might not live to give his daughter away at her wedding. First, because he was stupid enough to not get the vaccine. But also: What daughters anywhere these days are "given away"? We cats HISS.
