I’m very tired here in the CatBox.  I woke up shortly after midnight, and I tossed an turned the rest of the night.   I think I’m going to have to use some tunes again, while thinking of new ones.  The good thing about good music is listening to it more than once.   It’s a WWWendy night.  Pardon my brevity hugs!!

It’s a very busy day here in the CatBox.  Safeway.com should be here with my groceries within 90 minutes.  Speaking of the devil, they came a half hour ago,and I just got everything stowed.  That’s the first time in five years they weren’t late.  On the down side, they were out of lamb, WWWendy is coming to the rescue, so we have a main course for Thanksgiving dinner.  My HTML editor stores the blog format and tags, but the tags had become unmanageable.  There were over 2,000 tags, and every time I try to clean them up, I make less progress than the time before.  Therefor, I decided it was time to start over, so I deleted them all in a bulk operation.  Editors and Managers, please only add new tags that we are likely to use frequently.  I’m running way late, so I’m in a rush.  This is my only article today.  Hectic Hugs to all.

From The New Yorker: In a startling break with Thanksgiving tradition, Donald J. Trump refused to pardon the White House turkey after claiming that it was working as a secret operative of the billionaire George Soros.

A group of fourth graders from Bethesda, Maryland, who had gathered on the White House lawn for the annual turkey-pardoning ceremony appeared unprepared for the anti-Soros outburst that Trump unleashed on the Thanksgiving bird.

“That turkey was sent by Soros to spy on me,” Trump said, angrily turning on the fowl. “A lot of people are saying this.”

While the oblivious turkey pecked desultorily at the ground, an increasingly enraged Trump spewed a stream of conspiracy theories linking the feathered animal to global élites, election fraud in Florida, and Jim Acosta.

Andy, couldn’t Bought Bitch Moscow Mitch be the turkey? Then we could all refuse to pardon him!  RESIST!!

Here is the one hundred sixty-ninth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s winner is Trump sycophant US Senator, Lindsey Graham [R-SC]. He is so honored for the typically Republican integrity and courage with with which he goose steps behind his beloved Fuhrer!  This is actually Lindsey Poo’s third parade.

As many have already said, Donald Trump may be the most corrupt public official we have seen in our lifetimes. The current impeachment hearings have made it very clear that he attempted to put pressure on a foreign power by withholding already earmarked aid in exchange for dirt on a political opponent. To do this, he employed a legion of shady corrupt former officials and foreign actors. Sen. Lindsey Graham has been doing all that he can to defend Trump’s actions, shuffling through defenses of the current White House corruption, from saying that there was nothing corrupt in the transcript of Trump’s call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to arguing that Trump and friends are too stupid to be corrupt. It’s been difficult for Graham, since there are so many public statements, on video and elsewhere, of his original opinions on impeachment, and none of them match up with his current views.

A video has surfaced purporting to show a military veteran from Louisiana trying to speak with Graham in front of Graham’s office…

Lindsey Poo deserves his parade, based on hypocrisy alone, but I understand that, after this incident, he made the following statement: BWACK-BUK-BUK-BUK-BUK-BUK!  How Republican!

It’s an exhausted day here in the CatBox.  Needless to say, last week was a gruesome one for me, and I just didn’t get the rest I needed.  On the plus side, I have no medical appointments this week.  Store to Door is closed for Thanksgiving, so I’m getting my groceries delivered from Safeway.com tomorrow.  Putting them away will be much more difficult, because Safeway does not help the way Store to Door does.  They are scheduled between 8 and 10 AM, so depending on how long it takes, I may have only one article tomorrow.  WWWendy and I are celebrating the holiday on Sunday with lamb chops, lamb gravy, stuffing, Brussels sprouts, raspberry pudding ring, B & J Cherry Garcia and Alka-Seltzer.  OGIM Hugs to all!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Adam Schiff: ‘The evidence is already overwhelming’ in impeachment inquiry

 

CNN is right about one thing. The evidence certainly is overwhelming against Trump and several of his goose stepping minions. Even though they appear to go ahead, the House needs to keep investigating the entire Republican Reich. In 2020, a Democratic President would appoint an AG honest enough to indict Trump, Pence, Barrf, Pompeo, Perry, Nunes and dozens more.  RESIST!!

Ginsburg was initially brought to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday, but was then transferred to Johns Hopkins for further evaluation and treatment for a possible infection, the Supreme Court of the United States’ public information office said in a statement on Saturday. 

Please remember RBG in your prayers, or in however you relate to the infinite. If the Fuhrer gets another Supreme Court appointment, that would likely be fatal for the hopes of restoring freedom in the US.  RESIST!!

Cast a Wide Net?

So far, House Democrats are trying to limit the Impeachment hearings to just Trump and just Ukraine.  However, I’ve heard several progressives surmise that, when the articles ho to the Senate, Bought Bitch Moscow Mitch will run a brief show trial that will acquit Putin’s Craven Criminal.  And while the country says, “Ho. Hum.”, the Fuhrer will immediately extort the Grand Poobah of Outer Slobovia to manufacture dirt on potential Democratic nominees.  There ate other alternatives.  They are to pursue members of the House and Senate and to pursue the Vice Resident, Barrf, and cabinet members.

1123conspirators

Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas’  lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast.

Nunes aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, the lawyer said, which were arranged to help Nunes’ investigative work. MacMahon didn’t specify what those investigations entailed. 

Nunes is the top Republican on the House committee handling the impeachment hearings—hearings where Parnas’ name has repeatedly come up….

Here’s a better explanation.

New details In Lev Parnas’ Reported Effort To Help Devin Nunes

 

In addition to Nunes, the House and Senate abound with co-conspirators who ate enabling Trump to committing High Crimes and Misdemeanors, by helping him evade responsibility for them.  In addition, Pence, Barrf, Mulvaney, Pompeo, Perry and more are cabinet co-conspirators.  Going after these groups could keep Republican crimes in the public eye for months.

I’m undecided.  Which to you prefer: keep it simple stupid or cast a wide net?

It’s a frustrating day here in the CatBox.  I missed my cardiologist appointment appointment yesterday.  TriMet Lift was was supposed to arrive between 8:53 and 9:27 to get me there for a 10:10 appointment.  At 9:15 they gave me an ETA of 9:45.  At 9:45 they gave me an ETA of 10:20.  At that point I had to call to ask if Lisa could see me late.  She could not, and I had to reschedule.  I can’t see her now until January.  I asked Providence Home Medical Equipment to give me a time to get the Oxygen Concentrator I ordered yesterday.  They’ll let me know on Monday.  I found the same make and model as the one I already have, so I’m already familiar with its operation and maintenance.  Tomorrow is a holy day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  My Broncos are meditating with the Bills.  Because they stink, it won’t be televised here.  May the divine Orb shine it’s blessed light on your team, unless they gamble with buffalo chips.  Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update.  It’s a busy WWWendy day, and she’ll be here an hour early, because she has an event at her bartending job.  Irritated Hugs to all!

From The New Yorker: In what some observers called his most sarcastic opening statement of the impeachment inquiry, Representative Devin Nunes, on Thursday, accused witnesses of trying to mislead the American people with facts.

“From the beginning of these proceedings, the Democrats’ witnesses have offered facts, more facts, and nothing but facts,” Nunes said. “I, for one, have had enough of their factual games.”

Ramping up his attack, he accused the civil servants who have testified of having “an almost cult-like worship of verifiable information.”

“ ‘Step right up,’ these witnesses seem to be saying,” Nunes added. “ ‘The fact circus is in town.’ ”
