Tidbits And Cat Treats: Teslas Exploding Edition


By Sniffles

"Tesla IMploding" might be the more accurate headline these days, what with company stock dropping almost 30 percent and its annoying owner's bid for Twitter looking more precarious by the hour. Message to all those liberal tweeps who quit when Elon first made his move: You must have been looking for an excuse to leave, because you were way premature. Meanwhile, here are some other stories that are grabbing our attention today.

Interesting that the current lame, "both-sides" journalism that we all have to suffer through is not giving any kind of a pass to Elise Stefanik for her ignominious about-face on Trump and Trumpism. The damning headlines keep coming. Is it because she's a woman, because she's in GOP leadership, or because her "fall from promise and integrity" (Dana Milbank's words) has been incomparably jaw-dropping?

A hunting guide was arrested for baiting a bear with pastries so Donald Trump, Jr. could shoot it, and we cats can't even.

Steve Schmidt is still on his Twitter tear. He's turned his attention from the hapless Meghan McCain to avaricious grifter Sarah Palin, providing juicy details of all the stealing Palin did from the 2008 Republican Presidential campaign. Says Schmidt: "I remember telling a 22-year-old staffer who had rung up $40,000 of purchases for the Palins on her parents' credit card that, going forward, if Sarah Palin wanted a Kit-Kat [the staffer] needed to ask Palin for $0.50 cash in American coins."

Finally, Benedict Donald has suggested that Dr. "Oz" just declare himself the winner in the Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary, which is headed toward a long, distracting and potentially politically costly recount. You know what? Since the Republican Party has no platform or positions aside from what Benedict Donald wants, why is David McCormick even in the race? Trump endorsed Oz. Just wondering. We cats HISS.
