I hope you all had a better Spring than I did. Welcome to Summer. By my divine feline decree, today shall be the longest day of 2019. TGIF!
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 3:02 (average 4:25). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Hope Hicks Transcript Provides Window On 2016 Dual Trump Tape Crises
There you have it. If the incident behind the infamous pee-pee tape wasn’t real, then why did the Trump campaign engage a Russian operative to stop the release of that tape and others, long before the Steele Report? The Fuhrer really is Putin’s Piddle Pervert Puppet. RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): Roy Moore running again for US Senate seat in Alabama
If elected, Moore, Injustice Kava-Nazi, and Resident Trump can have Republican pervert parties in which all three branches of government are represented. RESIST!!
From PBS: …The bleak portrait emerged Thursday after a legal team interviewed 60 children at the facility near El Paso that has become the latest place where attorneys say young migrants are describing neglect and mistreatment at the hands of the U.S. government…
…Three girls told attorneys they were trying to take care of the 2-year-old boy, who had wet his pants and no diaper and was wearing a mucus-smeared shirt when the legal team encountered him…
…Binford described that during interviews with children in a conference room at the facility, “little kids are so tired they have been falling asleep on chairs and at the conference table.”
She said an 8-year-old taking care of a very small 4-year-old with matted hair couldn’t convince the little one to take a shower.
“In my 22 years of doing visits with children in detention I have never heard of this level of inhumanity,” said Holly Cooper, who co-directs University of California, Davis’ Immigration Law Clinic and represents detained youth….
Can there be any doubt that the Republican Reich racists now run concentration camps to torture Latino kids? No wonder kids are dying! RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Rachel: The hole gets deeper and deeper, doesn’t it? She didn’t/couldn’t say much, but boy, what she said was a doozy, as most of us know how dt is.. Sater did not testify today, the committee is issuing a subpoena to compel his testimony, and of course, dt doesn’t ‘know the guy’…
CNN: Three words, NO, NO, NO !!!
PBS: Heartbreaking. Dire crisis at the border, and yes, it’s a betrayal of adult responsibility, and governmental responsibility,” psychoanalyst Gilbert Kliman said. This should have never happened, but WHEN is it going to END?
Cartoon: Cute kitty!
Hope that you have a good, relaxing day. Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in – “Russia was never going to allow trump to attack Iran. Period.” ~ Matt W. ~ 2. “You know….for his bad environmental policies, trump is very committed to recycling his garbage.” ~ Stephen Cobert ~
4:33 Well, that’s appropriate.
TRMS – Hope doesn’t appear to be a dummy. She answered the question about a defensive briefing accurately and clearly. So I guess she’s just another crook.
Moore the Less – This may end up being good for us. We shall see.
PBS – Probably a lot of the same people running these that are going around with T-shirts saying “Pinochet did nothng wrong.” Spoiler: Oh, yes, he did.
Cartoon – Thank you.
Rachel: Again they hold these sessions and don’t accomplish much. Like all of these ones who aren’t showing up. Too bad they side with. listen to and follow tRump’s directions/orders to a tee.
CNN: I was shocked to hear on the news yesterday that this no good child molester was going to run again. People didn’t want him the last time, what makes him think they want him now???
PBS: Depressing reading what these innocent young children are being put through. No child should be forced to live in those type of conditions. Shame on tRump and his cronies who order and set up these awful conditions.
Cartoon: Happy Summer., TC.
There is hope…. we just had our longest!!! 🥶
ROLL ON Summer!!! 😊
You mean shortest?
Or night?
Puzzle — 4:16 Cool, refreshing . . . I want one!
MSNBC — The Dark Lord is trying to manipulate everyone for his own benefit, not the country’s benefit. By saying that Hicks and others cannot answer questions about her time in the administration is nothing more than a coverup IMO. If there is nothing wrong, why does the DL protest so vehemently and obstruct the Congress from doing its constitutional job? He is an evil POS!
On another note, I happened across another video from CNN with Anderson Cooper and his guest Lt Col Ralph Peters (Ret) during April 2019 discussing Russian interference and the 2020 election.
CNN — Roy Moore should be in prison, not in Congress. I guess Alabama Republicans are getting desperate!
This is what I think of Moore:
PBS — I think it is time for the UN Human Rights Commission to appoint a special raconteur to investigate and report. This is so tragic and so wrong! These children are in a situation not of their own making. The Dark Lord is personally responsible for every abuse, every problem, and every death that occurs. Of course, if confronted with that, he would deny it.
Cartoon — Puddy Tats are good, but not that good! You just want more sack time!
The real physio on my hands started last Wednesday — I was in bloody pain afterwards and for the rest on the day. All I did was play with some playdough, stretching it out and gathering it up with my fingers and then repeat. But damn, my fingers and hand hurt. I have to do it at home too, everyday.
That sounds horrid! I’m sorry, Squatch!
Sorry too. And you don’t even have anything to show for it. Although actually making something would probably hurt even more. Hang in.
Hope Hicks undoubtedly took more time in deciding what she would wear and putting on her makeup than she did in deciding how she would protect our democracy.
Rule of law? As a true Trumpian protector who refused to answer our Representatives 155 times, she believes that’s just for the little people.
