It’s another tired day here in the CatBox, but at least I have a complete Open Thread, today.  The esophageal problems I’m having interfere with my sleep, so I might have to change my name to Ulysses, so you can call me useless for short. Winking smile  Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update because it’s a morning WWWendy day.  It’s also a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  The Buccaneers are visiting my Broncos, but the game will not be televised here.  This Wednesday would one of you please cover Tuesday night, when Biden debates, and Trump* masdebates? Have a great weekend.

SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional Venereal Disease) Update:

If she promises to recuse and gets confirmed, she will not recuse. Otherwise, she would not be a Republican.

This is what she offers!

From The New Yorker: As Donald J. Trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transfer of power in January, former President Barack Obama suggested that cancelling the White House’s cable-TV account could induce the President to leave.

“This is a man who enjoys watching television,” Obama told reporters. “What if, on Inauguration Day, he picks up the remote and nothing comes on?”

“This seems like the most peaceful way to get him to go,” Obama said.

Obama also said that, in order to avoid a constitutional crisis, the White House’s supply of Diet Coke could also be cut off, but added, “I don’t think it will come to that.”

“Once it dawns on him that there’s no cable, his days will stretch out before him in a vista of emptiness,” Obama said. “No ‘Fox & Friends.’ No Tucker Carlson. And no Shark Week.”

Dang, Andy! This is Obama’s best idea yet! It’s even better than Obamacare!  RESIST!!

I get a Trump* virus test on Monday at 7:00 AM.  WWWendy is taking me before her work.  My stent surgery is 3:00 PM Thursday.  I’ll be home Thursday evening.  Today is a crazy day as you all know, between grocery delivery and out to DMV.  Thank you for your patience.

Because tomorrow is such a gruesome day here in the CatBox, I want to spend as much time as I can in bed today.  I just finished my video conference with the doctor.  Dr.  DeMeester has me tentatively scheduled for an operation to install a stent a week from tomorrow.  I need a Trump* virus test by Mon.  I’m trying to find a way to get that.  Happy Hump Day!

It’s become a hectic week here in the CatBox.  Diana was late yesterday, but when she got here, she built a fire under my Oncologist’s office and the Stent surgeon’s office.  Becky met WWWendy when she arrived at the hospital to pick up my patches, and changed me from 25 mg Fentanyl patches to 50 mg.  My pain level is much lower.  The stent surgeon’s office called and scheduled me for a video conference with the doctor at 7:30 AM tomorrow.  They will determine whether they want to to do a dilation or a stent and schedule the procedure ASAP.  If that isn’t crazy enough, WWWendy and I forgot that she scheduled an appointment to go to DMV to renew my Oregon ID at 4:30 on Thursday.  We won’t even start the shower and gooping until we get back.  On top of everything else, my AC is acting up again.  This is my only article today, and I’ll have to play the rest of the week by ear.  Tuesday is flush your Republicans day.

It’s another tired painful day here in the CatBox.  I still have no news on getting my stent.  I wanted to do more today, but I overslept, and I’m just not feeling up to it.  I’m afraid you guys may be carrying the ball until I get my stent and recover more of my strength.  Tonight is a WWWendy night.  Oh God, it’s Monday!

These Trumpanzee idiots are protesting IN-PERSON voting, now. Blocking entry to polling places is a felony, by the way.

Am I the only one not surprised? Nevertheless, ‘Trumpanzee’ is an insult to the apes!  RESIST!!

From Alternet:

Aprominent [sic] psychiatrist who spent years studying Nazi Germany has called for mental health professionals to speak out about President Trump’s “falsification of reality” ahead of the election, warning that his attacks on the truth echo those of the Nazis.

Dr. Robert Jay Lifton, distinguished professor emeritus at John Jay College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and a leading psychohistorian who has written extensively about doctors who aided Nazi war crimes, has long called for mental health experts to defy warnings from the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and speak out about Trump’s mental health. Lifton recently published a book entitled “Losing Reality: On Cults, Cultism, and the Mindset of Political and Religious Zealotry” and was one of the 27 mental health experts featured in “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump,” the bestseller edited by Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee in which mental health professionals assessed the president.

Lifton told Salon that the book and a Yale conference on the topic began the movement of “psychologists and psychiatrists speaking out against Trump.”

“I spoke about what I called malignant normality that was being imposed on us, and the need to be witnessing professionals who told the truth and oppose the malignant normality,” he said in an interview last week.

Lifton said that Trump’s supporters and enablers exhibit the same “cult-like behavior” that he has studied, adding that the current administration has “Trumpified” every part of the federal government, in much the same way that the German government was “Nazified” under Adolf Hitler.

What other pattern would Republicans follow? I called GW Bush, aka Nincompoop Nazi, the Fuhrer of the 4th Reich. Republicans planned to make him permanent, but when their policies caused the economy to collapse, they abandoned Bush to let Obama inherit their damage and blame him for it. Now they have chosen Trump* as Fuhrer. That he’s a Nazi goes without saying. Being a Nazi a prerequisite to become Fuhrer of the Republican Reich!  RESIST!!

It’s another sick painful day, here in the CatBox.  I slept most of yesterday afternoon and last night.  Nevertheless, I overslept this morning.  WWWendy retuned greetings.  This is my only article today, but I think it’s a good one.  I hope to publish an article on SCOTUS/SCROTUS (Supreme Court/Republican anti-Constitutional VD) tomorrow, which will be busy, because Diana is coming to check in on me.  Today is a Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb, and I shall meditate as my Broncos travel to Pittsburg where the Stealers will try to steal their victory.  I love you guys so much that I’m giving up part of my worship to finish this.  May the Holy Ellipsoid Orb bless you all.

From NY Times: Letters sent in recent days to the White House and to local law enforcement agencies in Texas contained the lethal substance ricin, and investigators are trying to determine whether other envelopes with the toxin were sent through the postal system, a law enforcement official briefed on the matter said on Saturday.

Investigators believe that the letters were sent from Canada and have identified a woman as a suspect, the official said.

The letter to the White House, which was addressed to President Trump, was intercepted, as were the letters to a detention facility and a sheriff’s office in Texas.

The envelope to the White House was caught at the final off-site processing facility where mail is screened before being sent to the White House mail room, according to a second law enforcement official. The Postal Service irradiates mail that is addressed to the White House and other federal agencies in the Washington area, and the mail is sorted in a facility that samples the air for suspicious substances.

I say with confidence that the woman in Canada who did this was NOT our Sasquatch! As much as knowing that Trump* was playing sizzle-checkers with his perv-pal Jeff Epstein, accomplishing his physical demise is God’s job. Ours is limited to accomplishing his political demise. I suspect this may be a false-flag, perpetrated by Republicane to paint Democrats as violent criminals or to give Resident Bone Spurs* an excuse to declare war on Canada. However, I condemn all who approve, support, and take part in such acts. It wrong, no matter who does it.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Who is Amy Coney Barrett, Trump’s Front-Runner For Ginsburg’s Seat?

 

I think Republicans are most likely to go for confirmation in the “lame duck” Senate. If they make it appear that the left are winning this battle prior to the election, it could make Democrats feel overconfident. At the same time, this would send millions of desperate Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians (the exact opposite of real authentic Christians) scurrying to the polls in an attempt to kill Roe v. Wade. These pro-death hypocrites think the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth.  After the election, GOP Senators can goose-step with their Fuhrer* and BBMMM with nothing left to lose.  RESIST!!

It’s another tired painful day here in the CatBox.  I called Evelyn’s office, and she is referring me to a surgeon to place an esophageal stent.  I hope to know more about the timing on Monday.  WWWendy should be here in less than an hour, and after my destinking, I’ll go back to bed.  This is my only article today.  I’ll try to do more tomorrow.  Have a great weekend.
