Things are still terrible, but we cats found some stories to discuss today that weren't completely negative. (Give us credit, we're trying!) Here they are:
Congratulations to the people of Denmark, the owners of Greenland, who obviously understand that the best way to irritate Benedict Donald is to make fun of him. More than 200,000 of them have signed a petition for "Denmarkification" — a proposal to buy the state of California from the United States. "Let's be honest —Trump isn't exactly California's biggest fan," the petition says. "He's called it 'the most ruined state in the Union' and has feuded with its leaders for years. We're pretty sure he'd be willing to part with it for the right price." There is nothin' like a Dane.
Up in Canada, meanwhile, a poll just out this week shows that the beleaguered Liberal Party would actually — hold onto your hats — win a majority in the next election with Mark Carney as its new leader. Holy vache, what a turnaround. We just hope that Carney is not peaking too early. (He's hinted he would call an early election if he's elected party leader on March 9.) But if this holds and the Conservatives end up losing after trouncing the Liberals by such wide margins for so long, do they stick with the toad, Pierre Poilievre? Worth watching!
Here at home, hard on the heels of the news that Michigan Senator Gary Peters is retiring comes the flash that Minnesota's Tina Smith will also not run for re-election. Well, crap. At least, however, she's given plenty of notice. And Pete Buttigieg may run in Michigan. Let's gear up, Democrats, we have some work to do.
Finally, some are comparing the mass US attorneys' resignations rather than obey DOJ's instructions to drop charges against corrupt New York Mayor Eric Adams to Richard Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre. US Attorney Danielle Sassoon's touch-only-with-oven-mitts letter to Pam Bondi is making the rounds on the interwebs, and with good reason — it pulls no punches. "Do people not understand what’s happening with the Eric Adams thing?" one Blueskyer skeeted in the wake of the letter's release. "The
memo instructing the prosecution to be dropped explicitly said it was
because he was carrying out the President’s agenda. It was 'You’re
working for me, so we’re letting you go.' It was an explicitly corrupt
bargain." Yep. Let's hope these attorneys' courage and integrity are contagious. We cats PURR.
