It’s a little cooler here today and tomorrow with highs around 80°. I actually got to turn off the AC for a while this morning. Then the sun hit the wall, and that ended that. It was very muggy last night, and I slept poorly.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:04 (average 4:19). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): NYT: Donald Trump Has Known Vladimir Putin Ordered Hacks Since January 2017
Covering up for Putin for over eighteen months is giving aid and comfort to an enemy that continues to wage cyber war against the US. That is treason. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): ARE YOU BETTER OFF TODAY? – Have You Ever Seen the Rain – Creedence Clearwater Revival
The US, if we survive, will not be as well off as we were before Trump stole the Oval Office for at least fifty years. RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!! (Parody Project "loved" this comment on YouTube.)
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Is Donald Trump a Traitor?
The Reich on the Left, Robert Reich, is right! The Reich on the Right, the Republican Reich, is a den of traitors! RESIST!! VOTE BLUE!!

5:42 Just what you (didn’t) need. More heat. Here in Colorado Springs we are running 10° above average, and I know you’re having it bad – and get less protection staying in than I do.
MSNBC – Yes, I’ve been reading this. So – unsurprisingly – our intelligence agencies did their job, and – even less surprisingly – Orange Judas did not do his. Everyone seems to be losing their minds. Well, I suppose it IS news to people who were not paying attention.
PP – I was just wondering about Parody Project! Who is better off? I’m so glad you asked! White supremacists who now have license to harass, beat up, and kill people consider themselves SO much better off thereby that they hardly notice a little (or a lot of) economic loss. Not surprised Dan loved your comment.
Reich – Very concise – about as concise as could be done with evidence included. As Robert always does.
Cartoon – Whoa! Getting ever more demanding, isn’t he?
It turns out he loves EVERY comment.
Not every comment. I found one he didn’t. A troll, of course. And you yourself hand out hugs to all. Kindred spirits.
And Green Stars, except to trolls, of course.
MSNBC: It would not surprise me if dumpy knew about it before it ever began!! Asking him about it is like asking Hitler if he ever lied! “Me? Oh, please I am as innocent as a saint, well, maybe even more so!” This entire thing is a big sting operation, as I’ve said before, to pay Russia back the MILLIONS, AND MILLIONS they have given/loaned the Dumpster!
Parody Project: On the money! Pun totally intended!!!!!!!!!!
It would surprise be if he DIDN’T know in advance and help stage it.
Is Trump a traitor? Do the bear sh** in the woods?
‘Toon: If they get away with it, including McConnell, we will soon find pout that “Or else!” means some version of a Russian gulag!
MSNBC: Our Intelligence is doing a fantastic job. Don’T’s body language stands out, with his confrontational stance, and trying to cover his (daily lies.)Imho…,,make no mistake, I agree that he’s a traitor, ‘front & center’.
PPC: Certainly not us, or our friends in other countries.
RRC: Word, Mr. Reich. Word.
Cartoon: Over my dead body.
We’re @ 101 here. No breeze, the birds aren’t even chirping. Hope you get a chance to relax, take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
You said it, Mitch! I am willing to come right out and slap the T word on tRump’s orange arse.
And his face. So everyone will see it. Placed so he can’t comb over it.
Puzzle — I was running in the other direction, away from the hot sauce which I detest!
MSNBC — How do you properly spell traitor — D-O-N-A-L-D–J–T-R-U-M-P!!! The hole is getting deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and . . . His need to say and walk back, say and walk back and then go back to his initial position proves that Drumpf is either terribly stupid and naïve with his own swamp starting to swallow him whole, OR he is mentally ill. Although I do believe he is mentally ill with delusions of grandeur, in this situation, his swamp is getting him and with that, he is kissing Putin’s snowy white ass! He thinks he has absolute power. It is time Republicans stopped enabling him, stopped covering for him and started to protect the country from him and from Putin. They are complicit in the traitor’s lies!
Parody Project — Spot on!!!
Robert Reich — Robert Reich for President!!! I doubt he’d want the position, and who could blame him, but he knows what needs to be done and how to do it. 1st step, get rid of the Republicans in Congress who don’t want to work for the country. I suppose that means the entire current crop.
Cartoon — Right. (snark) No thank you!
It has been much cooler, actually tolerable the past few days but no rain. But the heat will be returning through to the end of July and probably in August. Even the fur babes have been off their feed because of the heat. So sitting in an air conditioned restaurant reading has been a good pastime. I am more than half way through Jim Comey’s book ‘A Higher Loyalty’ just coming up to the part where he deals with Drumpf more. It certainly is a good look at how he came to his beliefs in truth and integrity so far.
Thanks and hugs!
