It’s a busy day here in the CatBox as I have lots of tasks to complete including my annual prescription review with my Medicare Advantage company. The rest of my test results came in, and I may be in trouble. My blood is so good that vampires will surely be after me.

Today’s took me 2:43 (average 4:30). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): THE DAY COLLUSION DIED
Subscribe to Don, please. Collusion is still alive and well, as Russia is now working to steal 2020 for Putin’s Pervert and his Republican Reich. RESIST!!
From Washington Post: The House Judiciary Committee plans to vote Wednesday to authorize subpoenas to obtain the full report of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, escalating a feud with the Justice Department over a lengthy document detailing findings about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, on Monday announced plans for the panel’s vote, which would take place a day after a deadline the committee set for Attorney General William P. Barr to share the report.
Barr pledged last week to release a redacted version by mid-April, well after Nadler’s deadline. Nadler’s committee is seeking to obtain the “full and complete report,” which spans nearly 400 pages, as well as underlying evidence.
That is exactly what Nadler should do RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): Tapper pushes back on Mulvaney over Trump cutting aid
This is so absurd that even the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda, Faux Noise, is condemning it. RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The general public has every right to read Mueller’s full report. Let us decide for ourselves, instead of relying on the dodgy conclusions of tRump’s lap dog!
4:33 Brrrrr.
Other PP – Can’t agree with his take. We don’t need downers, we need energy.
WaPo – It’s called a “subpoena duces tecum.” I was served with one once. Fortunately, the defendant pleaded guilty, so I didn’t have to appear.
CNN – The only emergency in the US is the Republican Party.
Cartoon – I assume you mean barbecued, or maybe fricasseed.
PP: We must resist!! at all levels.
WP: Good call, Mr. Nadler (and others in the House).
CNN: Good grief!! The crisis is what the repuglicons are doing. Every single day!
Cartoon: More lies, of course. The only thing they love is their $$$.
Hope that you have a good rest of your day. Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This! on a shirt: “Keep the Immigrants. Deport the Republicans.” ~anon~
Joanne, love your picture!
Thanks. Tarot cards are always good for something attractive.
Pat, your anonymous source is so spot on: ““Keep the Immigrants. Deport the Republicans.” “
. . . but NOT to Canada!!!!!
PPC: Collusion appears to have died, but, one never knows, do one?
WP: Nadler is doing the right thing, as is Schiff!
CNN: Mulvaney is a total putz!
‘Toon: Not even for one day a year!
3:24 I can no longer function in the cold.
PP: The day collusion died, if Barr has his way.
WP: I do hope Nader gets enough members of his House Judiciary Committee to vote with him to subpoena to obtain the full report. Anything less would be a defeat.
CNN: Mulvaney is the most dangerous of all Drumpf’s acolytes if only because he seems to make some sense until you rehash what he’s saying in relation to the question. His motivation for these terrible cuts is nothing more than an exaggeration of Drumpf’s talking points, which are probably his to start with. He’s really scary.
Cartoon: Yeah, right! Bunch of hypocrites. 🤮
PP: Screw bArr. We must continue letting our house know that they need to keep fighting to see the report.
WP: They must subpoena whomever to get the report.
CNN: I seen this fool last week with George S. and it was despicable listening to his lies. He is dangerous.
Cartoon: Agree with Pat and Lona.
Glad you blood test came back in tip top shape. Keep up the great work, TC.
Google Ratings are the top 3 Biden, Pete, Bernie all alternating.
Pete was a Lieutenant and Went to Harvard.
Thank you TomCat

Puzzle — 3:30 Ah, a sunny day with bright sunshine . . . great for tanning and relaxing!
Parody Project — “so desperate was the hope to see a trial.” — Given that Mueller farmed out some of the information etc to SDNY and others, the hope for a conviction on something criminal is not lost yet. And as TC says, “Collusion is still alive and well, as Russia is now working to steal 2020 for Putin’s Pervert and his Republican Reich.” Now, knowing that this interference by the Russians is continuing, and knowing that the holes in the voting system have not been plugged, should that not be included as proof of collusion?
WaPo — That is exactly what Nadler should do. If Barr does not comply with the subpoena, is that not called Contempt of Congress? Could Barr go to jail for that? He’s another one that belongs behind bars.
CNN — Mulvaney is a slimy slug, sliding along and gumming up the works. Even Republicans, including Diaper Don, have acknowledged that there is a humanitarian crisis at the southern border. Cutting off aid is not the answer. The old Chinese proverb says: Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and eats all his life. Teach the people through aid “how to fish”.
Cartoon — Yeah, right . . . NOT!!! I agree with Pat . . . Republicans only love money (theirs and everyone else’s) and power.
Thanks and pooped hugs to all.
