It’s a very busy day, here in the CatBox, and I’m very tired, as I have not recovered from medical mayhem. However, I should be back in the saddle, until my Cardiologist appointment on Friday. Pooped hugs to all!
Jig Zone Puzzle:

Cartoon:
The faces change. The Republican Reich remains the same.

Short Takes:
From The New Yorker: Delivering an ominous threat to members of his own party, Donald J. Trump warned congressional Republicans on Monday that if they vote for impeachment he would come to their states and campaign for their reëlection.
In a series of intimidating, early-morning tweets, Trump made it clear that if Republicans wobble on impeachment, “I will hold rallies in your state and support you with everything I’ve got.”
Making it clear that his threat was far from hollow, Trump tweeted an image of a “Keep America Great” banner and warned, “I used these in Louisiana and Kentucky. Don’t think I won’t use them in your state!”
Dang Andy! If that isn’t Jury Tampering, what is? RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Why House Dems Have New Questions Over Whether Trump Lied To Mueller
As much as House Democrats want to keep it simple, the breadth of impeachable crimes by Putin’s Pervert make that one damn tall order! RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Kinks – Tired of Waiting
Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
Vote Blue!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
6:07 A lot of waffling.
My nomination for the best named wildlife reascue goes to For Fox Sake in Chattanooga, TN.
Cartoon – Captures him perfectly.
TNY – Well, that shoud certainly terrify them. Orange Judas having a moment of reality? Oh dear.
MSNBC – It’s next to impossible to keep the inquiry simple. It may still be possible to keep the articles simple. I don’t think Adam Schiff is forgetting, but many of us looking on are forgetting: not everything needs to be used in the impeachment. He can always be prosecuted after leaving office, by the Federal Government and/or by the states (once we get Barr out.) I disagree with Chuck on one thing” There cannot be disappointment where there were no expectations. Pompeo is a lot of things, but disappointing is not one of them.
Past – Amnesia here. (Title very appropriate to today’s news, or almost any day’s news lately, for that matter.)
A little humour for your day! This from the UK through a Toronto morning television programme. I wonder how fast this ostrich can run?

I will be back later. Enjoy!
Cartoon: Of course!!
FFR: Congrats to those who won this week. Ya’ll keep up the good work!
NYer: Gawd… He’s losing the wind in his sail. Good reporting, Andy! lol
MSNBC: Glad they are doing and reaching all bases on this, important issue(s).
BFTP: Good song!
Go get your rest, and take a good nap, it helps soothe the mind and soul. Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

3. Alex Trebek doesn’t think dt would do well on an episode of Jeopardy. “Well,…it depends on the categories. The Porn again quisling’s virtuoso in autolatry, peculation, thygatrilagnia, pederosis, emictory cloudbursts, copremesis at a scale.” ~ Tinjin P.C. ~

**re: #3 – autolatry: Love of oneself. Peculation: Steal, take dishonestly. Thygatrilagnia: A father’s sexual love for his daughter. Pederosis: Sexual impulse pedo. Emietory: Passing on urine. Copremesis: Vomiting. Quisling: traitor, collaborator.
‘Toon: Damn, that’s an ugly face!
New Yorker: This clown, who seems to like to think he has the Midas Touch, destroys anything with which he has contact, and that includes his image to the rest of the world.
MSNBC: Pompeo- “He is a coward,” and a dirtbag. Dumpy will not testify, and did not, apparently, in the Mueller investigation, sending shit created by his W.H. lawyers. Anywhere one looks, or might look, regarding this administration, one will find scandal after scandal. It’s like climbing mountain ridges: the higher you go, the more certain you are that this ridge coming up is the last one, until you see the next one, and so on. In this case, though, you will eventually see the Orange shit pile at the top!
Kinks: Good memories!
4:21 Too hot to handle.
TNY: Stop giving the man ideas, Andy!
MSNBC: If Democrats wanted to impeach Trump on Mueller’s report after he handed it to them to do so, they should have done so then and not have waited until Roger Stone got convicted in court on lying about Wikileaks. They can’t possibly impeach Trump on every impeachable offence he committed; there isn’t enough time in the world to do that and it will only make their case weaker and take away from the Ukranian case. Don’t give Trump more opportunity to vent, please.
BFTP: I know the song and the Kinks well, but haven’t got many memories attached to it. Glad you didn’t pick “Lola” though…and no, that isn’t a request to play it, even if it is a very good number indeed.
Seriously, I’m curious if anyone can document a week in almost THREE YEARS where tRump hasn’t either [1] created a new impeachable offense or [2] expanded on one.
A week! I can’t think of a day!
Cartoon: Yep. fits him perfectly.
TNY: What a stinking no good rotten bully. He’s acts so immature. Needs to be placed in a mental institution.
MSNBC: They should be investigating tRump. They know damn well that everything he does speak or writes are all lies. So they had better go back and review it all over again.
BFTP: Liked the Kinks. Their tune could be used today to express how we feel about waiting for all of the crap with tRump to end. We are tired of waiting for it to end.
I had to go out today for an appointment. Finally started to rain in the afternoon. Came down pretty good. We are expecting 100% tomorrow, then 50% on Thursday when I have another doctor appointment in the morning. I hate having to go out in the rain.
Hope you got a chance to rest this afternoon/evening. Take care. Thanks TomCat
Fantasy Football — “Congrats to the Squatch for ranking ahead of the Puddy Tat.” for the SECOND week in a row! LMAO!!!
The New Yorker — Well if Republicans wobble, that’s one way to make the country blue again. But do you really think that Republicans will wobble? Nah, me neither.
MSNBC — Dems should use the KISS principle: Keep It Simple Stupid! By trying to include everything, they give Trump and his Republican enablers more opportunities to screw up the country even more.
YouTube — I remember the tune although not the words. And I certainly remember the band.
Thanks and Hump Day Hugs to all
