Store to Door just left after delivering my groceries, and I put them away. Wendy is coming this evening to tend the sickly TomCat. I’m hurrying to hide under my covers.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:42 (average 5:18). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: Eric Trump has asked his father, Donald Trump, if he can have his brother Donald, Jr.,’s room, Eric Trump confirmed on Monday night.
“Don, Jr., got this ginormous room, and I got a crappy little one,” Eric Trump said. “Don, Jr., got to work in the real-estate company, and I got stuck with the winery. But all that’s about to change.”
Eric Trump said that, although his father had not yet responded to his request, he was optimistic that his wish would be granted. “It looks like Don, Jr., might not be needing his room for quite some time,” he said, barely suppressing a grin.
Make it so, Andy! Make it so! RESIST!!
From Cap Times: When Gov. Scott Walker announced his re-election campaign team today, it was like an invitation to a reunion for some of the players in the John Doe II scandal.
That scandal involved allegations that the Walker team was illegally coordinating with Wisconsin Club for Growth to raise money to fend off the recalls of Republican state senators and of Walker himself. (The Wisconsin Supreme Court eventually threw out the John Doe II prosecution in a corrupt and baseless decision in July 2015.)
Some familiar faces from that scandal are back on Team Walker.
Click through to smell the feces. The Fartfuhrer of Fitzwalkerstan is as vile as ever. RESIST!!
From Think Progress: In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions repeatedly came under heavy criticism from Democratic members. At issue was his statement, delivered under oath during his confirmation hearings, that neither he nor anyone else on the Trump campaign had contact with Russia during the course of the 2016 election. It was subsequently revealed that Sessions had multiple meetings with the Russian ambassador and knew about other contacts between campaign staff and Russians.
Amen! RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
6:06 A brachet.
Randy Rainbow has some advice for coping.
TNY – Marvelous take, Andy. (grin)
Cap Times – May God protect Wisconsin. They haven’t done it so well on their own.
TP – So satisfying to crucify someone with his or her own words. Not that Sessions will “get it.”
Cartoon – And much kudos to you.
Randy is so marvelous.
Thanks for that Rany Rainbow, Joanne. Yes, I almost miss Sarah Palin a bit too.
NYer: Lord, I hope and pray so!!! lol
CT: UGH! I have family members up in this beautiful state, and they can’t stand the man! UGH!!
TP: BOOM!! High-Five Mr. Jefferies!! Sessions has memory lapses at his convenience, but, he’s Pinocchio in disguise. I watched the C-Span goings on with sessions, (for a bit), and when asked questions, that’s all he said, “I don’t recall”. It bothers me that with this man in such a position as AG, that he will conveniently use this statement to cover his tracks. He’s in the deep hole just like the others. imho.
Cartoon: Kudos and a WELL DONE! to YOU!!
*Joanne, Thanks for some RR this afternoon! Love it!!
Gee, I sure hope you start to feeling better. Rest, and drink lots of fluids. Have a good evening, take care, and Thanks, Tom. (HI, Wendy!)
Mitch McTurtle is starting to suggest a write-in campaign in Alabama. That would be great – and a huge help to get Doug Jones elected!
I did get a kick out of Roy Moore’s campaign van:
Roy Moore:
(Yeah, I kinda “cheated” and moved it to today’s Open Thread since I actually did post it today – but in yesterday’s Open Thread. But they made me chuckle – and we could always use a chuckle – so I decided to give them a second chance.)
Nice truck, I can just see his idiotic face behind the wheel.
Thanks for that chuckle, Nameless. Can’t have too many chuckles these days.
You had me going for a sec. I was wondering how I had shown this to Wendy last night. She loved it!
TNY: Let’s hope Junior displays the same childish mentality as his brother when his Daddy takes away his room and spills the beans on Daddy’s “business” deals with Russians, Andy
CT: Darn, it’s true then: ?? turds really float. Even after a while below the surface, they pop up with a vengeance.
TP: Thank you, Mr. Jeffries, for making my day. You brilliantly led that little weasel down the hoop-net. Loved the way Sessions made himself out to be even more unreliable with every answer he tried to dodge: Q: Was Papadopulous on the guest list? A: That was reported. Q: …did you ask Mr. Papadopoulos… A: Yes. ?
Cartoon: Next time, make it a million of which you are one again, TomCat.
Hope you felt better after a nice refreshing shower, TomCat
Thanks all. Worn out hugs!
