"It's All Gone Too Far"

By Baxter

Kind of a big day in Trump World today, but maybe not in the way they'd want. The first story that caught our eye was about a long-married Michigan couple in their 70s who died of COVID within seconds of one another. According to their daughter: "They were both extremely regretful because they didn’t really take their own words to heart that it would actually take their lives." How did they get the virus? They got impatient with having to stay home all the time, and decided to eat in a restaurant where no one was wearing masks.

In short, Gretchen Whitmer was right about everything. It's a damn good thing she didn't get kidnapped, but these two constituents of hers are still dead.

Then this news just broke: A pay-for-pardons scandal is erupting in the White House, wow! The details are heavily blacked out and no conspirators are yet named, but a few do come to mind: Giuliani, Manafort, Gates, Bannon, Kushner... and, of course, Individual 1. More to come, no doubt — but this unexpectedly unsealed order should throw a monkey wrench into whatever nefarious shenanigans Benedict Donald has been plotting. In fact, he probably already pocketed some cash from Joe Arpaio, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn. Stay tuned.

Until that story exploded, the biggest news of the day was a guy no one's ever heard of before: Gabriel Sterling, Georgia's voting implementation manager, who is fit to be tied over the death threats people like his boss, Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, has been receiving from Trumpsters. The best thing about it: He calls out both Benedict Donald and Georgia's two repugnant Republican Senators. The worst thing: He still calls himself a Republican and says he's still voting for those Senators. But his words to Trump speak for themselves:

"Mr. President, it looks like you likely lost the state of Georgia... And you have the right to go through the courts. What you don't have the ability to do — and you need to step up and say this — is stop inspiring people to commit potential acts of violence. Someone is going to get hurt. Someone is going to get shot. Someone's going to get killed. And it's not right. It's not right.

"Be the bigger man here... Tell your supporters: Don't be violent. Don't intimidate. All that's wrong. It's un-American." We cats PURR.
