In the category of Mean People Suck and Karma Should Get Them, some recent headlines have not exactly been displeasing. Last night came the news that the actress Kirstie Alley had died. She was funny in "Drop Dead Gorgeous." But she was also (ugh) a Scientologist, a huge Trump fan, a spreader of COVID and other misinformation, and an internet bully. We have to be honest and say we won't miss her.
Then today, officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 received the Congressional Gold Medal. Recipients included our faves, Harry Dunn, Michael Fanone, Eugene Goodman, Danny Hodges, and Aquilino Gonell. Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after the insurrection, received the medal posthumously.
Best thing about the event? After exchanging greetings with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, Officer Sicknick's family walked right past the outstretched hands of Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy. A top-drawer snub that both McConnell and McCarthy richly deserved.
"They’re just two-faced," Sicknick's mom said, accurately. "I’m just tired of them standing there and saying how wonderful the Capitol police is, and then they turn around and go down to Mar-a-Lago and kiss his ring. It just hurts."
Maybe it's Benedict Donald who's hurting more right now. The Trump Organization was just convicted in Manhattan on charges of conspiracy, criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. And Special Counsel Jack Smith has subpoenaed Trumpsters in the swing states of Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin for all communications they had with His Orangeness. Another great day to be a Trump! We cats PURR.
