Tidbits And Cat Treats: Halloween Hasn't Even Happened Yet Edition

By Sniffles

Some scary stuff in the news in the final two-week run-up to Halloween. We cats have some thoughts.

There is still more information to come out about the bizarre incident on the "Rust" set in New Mexico, but we cats are still sorry that this had to happen to Alex Baldwin. First, as you'd imagine, right-wing idiots are having a field day with it on social media. But also, it would have been so much better if it had happened to a third-rate actor like Scott Baio or Jon Voight — you know, a Trumpster who thinks the Second Amendment is the greatest thing ever written. A shame.

We hate Glenn Youngkin and the stupid dad-vests he wears on the campaign trail. And we find it hard to believe that Virginians are split 50-50 on him and Terry McAuliffe — particularly since thanks to Caller ID and cellphones, accurate polls are so hard to come by these days. But we really, really hate the fact that Youngkin has gone down the anti-Semitic "George Soros is to blame for everything" path. We're guessing that he saw some numbers that suggested his support from Virginia Trumpsters was soft. But stuff like this is certainly not going to help him with suburbanites in NoVa. Come on, Virginians — give this bigot his walking papers, please.

Donald Trump went after Meghan McCain today — and, by extension, her dead father. We're not fans of the McCains, and we won't replicate Trump's stupid statement here, because we don't believe in giving him more oxygen. But we can't comprehend the Republican Party's willingness to endorse Trump's petty, idiotic, childish behavior. Of all the objections we have to Trump — and they are infinite — acting like an eight-year-old, and dragging the Presidency down to that level, is among our top five. We will never understand it.

That said, it is ridiculous that POLITICO has decided that Joe Biden's fondness for the F-word in private is a story. Soledad O'Brien is right: POLITICO is trash.

On the bright side, Joe Biden apparently held a great town hall last night, and he didn't say the F-word once.

It's also really cool that vaccine mandates are weeding out all the bad cops. You guys wanna quit? Go ahead and quit!

Finally, on the subject of great horror films, we have to take issue with "The Shining" — only because to us, any movie that has Jack Nicholson in it is already a horror film. We cats HISS.
