Happy Halloween! There are monsters in Republican sheets and hoods chasing you.  Be VERY afraid.  I’m in a bad typing position.

Short Takes:

From Crooks and LiarsThis mashup from Media Matters is so great, because it highlights all the crap they spew year round. Yes, today is Halloween, but for them, every day is Halloween.

 

Be VERY afraid!

From the New Yorker: Corrected by Squatch

In the biggest free-agency acquisition of the 2016 Presidential contest, the billionaire investor Paul Singer has acquired Florida senator Marco Rubio for a rumored eight-figure sum, pending a physical.

Just hours after the deal was inked, Rubio was flown by private jet to Singer’s training facility in East Hampton, where the senator will submit to a series of gruelling drills before the deal is finalized.

“We are making a four-year deal with Marco, with an option for another four,” an associate of Singer’s said. “We like what we’ve seen of him on tape, but we want to be sure that he has what it takes to go the distance.”

Andy forgot to tell us on what, besides deportation and welfare for billionaires, Border Buster will be tested.

From Daily Kos (classic 1/2015): Sen. Bernie Sanders wants to talk about the deficits. Yes, plural. The ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee says the next budget should address a series of deficits in investment in the American economy. Income inequality, lack of jobs and especially good jobs, poor infrastructure, bad trade deals, retirement insecurity, and a failure to invest in education—these are deficits that affect the entire American economy, dragging it down and slowing growth. That's what Sanders wants to address:

Spot-on Bernie! Click through for more.

  1. Crooks and Liars – Scariest thing I've seen this year.  Of course, I didn't watch the Republican "debate."

    New Yorker – Probably toadying and bootlicking.

    Bernie – Yes indeed.

    Thanks for posting in spite of hardships.  Good luck with the republicosis (an aftereffect of the laxative?)

  2. C&L: Scary indeed. Of the Clowns. Yea, Trick or Treat.

    DK: Gotta love Bernie for keeping the facts and his agenda straight. Go Bernie!!!

    Poor kitty, I feel the same way when I think of the Repugs. Ick!

    Hope that your republicosis gets flushed but good, and that you start feeling better.

    Take care, TC and Thanks!! Thank you, Lynn for posting.

  3. A wonderful display of what I think of the republicanus americanus. This species is good at eating it's own and trying to get to the top of Bull$#!Г Mountain! They want to claim their prize of sinking the earth into the polluted swamp that is left after they get through with the destruction of the world by letting the oil barons decide what is most profitable for them!!!!

  4. Crooks and Liars: A Halloween Message From Bullshit Mountain: BE AFRAID
    Warning: Barf Bag Alert!

    New Yorker: Billionaire investor Paul Singer has acquired Florida senator Marco Rubio for a rumored eight-figure sum, pending a physical… Maybe a mental check-up would be better ordered. lol.

    Daily Kos: Bernie is correct on all seven deficits. Bernie says we need to address these issues: inequality, unemployment, infrastructure, wages, higher education, social programs and trade deficit. 

    Cartoon: Yep… republicosis… isn't that the same as GOP/TP/Koch Party diarrhea of the mouth, brain as well as loose anal crap… What a cartoon!  lol.

  5. Well, I can see why they seem so scared and deperate if they are listening to that. I'm sure that if they just changed the channel or turned off the TV completely that that feeling would soon dissipate. They need to come into the real world. Sure there are problems but we could solve them if we all worked togerther.

    • The problem Bonnie is that "they" generally don't do their own thinking.  They are like baby birds . . . they prefer pre-digested bites.  It is easier to leave the channel where it is than to think for one's self.

  6. Sorry, but my "Nike" critter does NOT appreciate  that cartoon!

    He DRINKS out of the toilet!  (Don't most cats?)

    😉

    • Most cats?  I'd say no.  Dogs, yes!  Cats have more sense.  I have no potty mouths in my house!  Besides, who leaves the toilet lid up?

      • ME! MOI! I DO!  (Who puts the toilet lid – NOT seat, LIDDOWN?!?  Must be a "Y" chromosome thing.)

        And it's the guest bathroom toilet he only drinks out of.  And only when there aren't guest – which isn't all that often.

  7. Crooks and Liars:  I honestly could not watch all of it.   Too many people watch this garbage and believe it, sometimes, otherwise intelligent people.  When will Fox be banned from calling itself a news station, and instead be labeled Right Wing Propoganda?

    The New Yorker:  If only the rest of Congress would listen to Bernie and Andy.

    Daily Kos:  Shared this one on Facebook.  All seven of these need to be addressed immediately if our country is to survive as we wish it to, and not degenerate into a complete oligarchy.

    Cartoon:  That cat and I have the same attitude.  

  8. Crooks and Liars — Thank God I have that 30 litre garbage bag abd can by my desk . . . great barf bag!  That was so needed!

    New Yorker — I'd pay 8 figures too . . . but the first would be a decimal point, and then followed in close order by six zeros and a one (.0000001).  Even then I would have paid too much!

    Daily Kos —  "Republicans, of course, are on board with none of this. Investing in the United States is not really their thing."   Of course not.  They are only interested in investing in themselves and their sugar daddies.

    Cartoon — Ah! . . . relief!

    Sure is glad to have you back, if even for a short time!

  9. Good luck with your operation tomorrow, TomCat. Hope to see you back On the Edge really soon.

    Crooks and Liars: If Nameless had put this compilation video on his list of horror movies, I would have voted for it immediately. This is truly scary, because this continuous stream of lies, myths and fear mongering isn't fiction but reality. Imagine what it does to the brains of those who have this for breakfast, lunch and dinner day after day. Too frightening to contemplate.

    The New Yorker: A pity Andy wasn't allowed to mention the location of Singer's boot camp nor release the names of Republican candidates training there besides those of Rubio and Jeb. And Jeb obviously didn't pas the test, he got winded when having to respond as fast as possible to the commands Singer barked at him. I'm sure Rubio is going to do much better. He's apparently better motivated and says " I’m looking forward to earning every dollar he paid for me.” Next time Andy's going to cover life in the training camps of Sheldon  Adelson and those of the Koch brotheres.

    Daily Kos: And it is exactly what Bernie Sanders is addressing now in his campaign and forcing the other Democratic candidates to address it too. Kudos to you, Bernie.

    Cartoon: I hope they're not putting you through that  just before the operation, TomCat.

  10. Keeping you in my prayers TC (thanks for C2 post Lynn)

  11. You're in all our thoughts and prayers TC.  Many have asked to be kept apprised of your progress after surgery. We all love you dear Puddy Tat!
