A Feeling Of Emptiness

By Hubie and Bertie

Doesn't Eastern Kentucky know that Donald Trump, Jr. is going to be elected President in 2024? Guess not: Why else would so sparse a crowd have turned out for him at a Matt Bevin rally today?

It's just another bad omen that the Drumpfs have endured recently. Top of the list surely is the fact that Hurricane Dorian skirted Puerto Rico — "one of the most corrupt places on earth," according to Trump — and now is heading not just for Florida, but (GASP!) Mar-a-Lago. Following close behind that are all the economic indicators that seem to be pointing in the direction of a recession. And which appear to be freaking Benedict Donald out.

And then there are the bedbugs at Doral. What a week.

We cats have noticed a real uptick in the "Trump-is-mentally-losing-it" chatter, which we think bodes well if, God forbid, another Supreme Court seat opens up. While we're not expecting it — RBG seems tough as nails — Senate Democrats had better be prepared to play hardball on this. Can a President with failing mental faculties be allowed to make such a lifetime appointment? We think not.

Final thoughts on this Thursday evening? That the news could not possibly be worse, and we need to grab at whatever positive straws we can. The fact that a former Canadian PM — a Conservative, no less — has publicly hoped that Dorian will hit Mar-a-Berchtesgaden head-on is truly something to savor. We cats PURR.
