Crumpling

By Zamboni

The Trumpies and religious zealots among us like to amplify themselves on social media and elsewhere, to make themselves seem more powerful. But in reality, to cite a cat-related term, they're paper tigers.

Take Benedict Donald. He was blustering about how he was going to get back on the witness stand tomorrow in his civil fraud trial in New York. His vapid girl attorney, Alina Habba, even said, "He will take that stand on Monday. He will open himself up to whatever they want because he’s not afraid. People who are afraid cower. Trump doesn’t cower."

Except when he does. Donald will not appear. For her part, New York Attorney General Letitia James couldn't care less — she's already proven that he committed fraud. The only question is how much money he'll have to pay.

Meanwhile, pressure is rising on Bridget Ziegler, the Florida-based founder of "Moms for Liberty" who's been caught in a threesome scandal with her icky baby-faced rapist husband. Ziegler resigned her position at her Nazi "Leadership Institute," but that's not we care about. We want her off the Sarasota County School Board. And it looks like the Board may call for that very thing on Tuesday.

Good. "Moms for Liberty" is already on the ropes, having lost some important races in last month's off-year elections. Bridget's hypocrisy should put another few nails in their well-deserved coffin. That will make us cats PURR.
