Tidbits And Cat Treats: "Madness, Madness" Edition

By Sniffles

Just when you think the Trumpsters, MAGAts and Republicans who enable them couldn't get any crazier, they do. Here are some antics from just this week that conjure up the last line of dialog from Bridge on the River Kwai.

Marjorie Taylor Greene proposed cutting US funding to NATO just as Western leaders, including Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, gathered for the 80th anniversary of D-Day. If that weren't bad enough, 46 House Republicans signed on with her.

Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville visited soon-to-be-inmate Steve Bannon's podcast and said that Vladimir Putin "doesn't want Ukraine...doesn't want Europe. Hell, he's got enough land of his own."

Speaker Mike Johnson has named Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry, who had his phone seized by the feds as part of the January 6 investigation, and Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, the MD who ran a pill mill out of the Trump White House, to the House Intelligence Committee. This means that both Perry and Jackson will see some of our most sensitive information about the US and our allies.

Team Trump just released a short video of Benedict Donald in which he's literally foaming at the mouth. It's unclear why they didn't just reshoot it, but their attacks on Biden's age sure have ramped up recently.

Florida Congressman Byron Donalds said that his fellow Black Americans were better off under Jim Crow.

Senate Republicans voted to block a bill to guarantee access to contraception, which the Democrats introduced in the wake of the GOP's war on reproductive rights. The CDC estimates that 98 percent of women have used some form of birth control while they were sexually active, and 90 percent have had a partner who used a condom.

What do we do in response to this idiocy? Storm the polls this November like Wonder Woman crossing No Man's Land. We cats PURR.
