It’s a busy day, here at the CatBox.  The CCC rep told me late yesterday that I have qualified and will get the unit in the Madrona Studios.  It should be ready to view next weekend, so WWWendy and I plan a look-see a week from Sunday.  I just hope it doesn’t blow up at the last minute… again.  Today is a WWWendy Day.  She will be coming mid-afternoon and, after we destink the rancid TomCat, we’re having BBQ ribs.  Her two Shiatsus, who I have nicknamed Oh and Shit, get the bones.  Were this not a Republican Reich, I’d wish you a happy 4th.

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Donald Trump Hints At Defying Court, Edges Toward Constitutional Crisis

The latest, from what I hear, is that the Fuhrer plans to issue an executive order to add the citizenship question to the census. According to the Republican Reich’s Unitary Executive belief, whatever the Resident does is legal. At the birth of our of our nation, enslaved Blacks were considered subhuman and were not citizens. Nevertheless the census counted them. I guess the racist Republican Reich considers undocumented workers less than subhuman. They are also treating Marbury v. Madison as toilet paper. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): Liberal Redneck – Fourth of Julying to Himself

Amen Trey! Flush the Republican Reich! RESIST!!

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Patriotism v. Nationalism

Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. The Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, practices white nationalism and the politics of fear driven hate. A true patriot loves our nation enough to oppose it, when it strays from our stated values. RESIST!!

From The New Yorker: Calling it “incredibly exciting news,” President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that his long-planned Fourth of July parade in Washington will include a flyover by Russian Su-24 fighter planes.

“These are beautiful, gleaming Russian planes,” Trump boasted to Tucker Carlson, of Fox News. “I’m the first American President who’s had Russian fighters flying over Washington.”

He said that he finalized the flyover deal while speaking to the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, at the G-20 Summit last week. “Putin said, ‘This is the least we can do, after all you’ve done for us,’ ” Trump said.

Dang, Andy! If this is true I will not be at all surprised. RESIST!!

It’s a muggy day here in the CatBox, and I’m back in the saddle after all.  WWWendy came earlier than expected yesterday.  I have a lot of work to do, so please pardon my brevity.

Short Takes:

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Should We Abolish Billionaires?

Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. The existence of billionaires is not the problem. The problem is the existence, advantages and policies of the greed-besotted Reich on the right, the Republican Reich. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Jesse Dollemore Channel): Ivanka Trump Pesters World Leaders at the G20 – Republicans Make Lame Excuses to the End!

Jesse nailed it. Remember though that Putin’s Pervert thinks Ivanka is so hot that she would be on his pussy-grabbing list, were she not his daughter. A grabbable pussy is all the qualification she needs for privilege in the Republican Reich! RESIST!!

From The New Yorker: Setting foot in North Korea for the first time, on Sunday, President Donald Trump praised that nation’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, for his efforts on immigration, telling Kim, “No one is trying to get into your country.”

After crossing into North Korea from the Demilitarized Zone, Trump remarked to the North Korean leader, “Your border is amazing! There are no people whatsoever trying to get in. You should see our border—it’s a complete mess.”

Barely containing his envy, Trump continued, “Of course, you don’t have Congress to deal with, like I do. They’ve caused all the problems I’ve had on immigration. You’ve got a much better deal. You want to build a wall, you build a wall. No one can tell you you can’t.”

Straight News, Andy. If the Fuhrer and the Republican Reich get their way, it will be just like that here.  RESIST!!

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox.  I spent four hour in blog maintenance, a large part of which was installing security software and filters incoming traffic and block Republican and Russian bots that are attacking the site thousands of times per hour.  (ADMINISTRATORS:  If it says your Name and/or Password are on their “bots might have it” list, it will warn you to change your password.  If you are locked out, email me to assign you a new password).  I’m feeling much better now, after flushing half the Republican Party.  Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update, with no links messages on Care2.  It will be a WWWendy day.  I’m late and rushing.

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Biden letters reveal he resisted this desegregation tactic

His misstatements on this subject have caught up to him. Biden should come clean, apologize and withdraw. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Elizabeth Warren Channel): Elizabeth Warren speaks at 2019 Rainbow Push Coalition Convention

As usual, Liz scored 11 on the 1 to 10 scale. She’s still my #1.  Kamala moved up to #2.  Bernie fell to #3. RESIST!!

From The Independent: Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has been challenged by members of the crowd after suggesting that mocking a “gay waiter” was seen as socially acceptable five years ago.

Mr. Biden made the remarks at a fundraising event hosted by former Microsoft president Jon Shirley in the wealthy Seattle suburb of Medina, which is home to billionaires including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. 

The former vice president suggested that half a decade ago, someone at a business lunch could poke fun at a gay waiter and others at the table would silently sit by.

But some in the crowd interjected by saying: “Not in Seattle”.

Why can’t he have an event without a gaffe? He’s just that far out of touch. RESIST!!

It’s a seasonal day here in the CatBox.  WWWendy left for Vegas at 4:00 AM.  I sure hope she does not become a showgirl.  For some reason, I woke up exhausted.  It was a real fight just to drag my ass out of bed.  TGIF Hugs.

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Trump to Putin: Don’t meddle in the election

That evil smirk says it all. I bet a buck that both Fuhrer’s have already agreed to have Russia interfere in the 2020 election. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Trump’s Secret Tax on Ordinary Americans

Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. Trump, Fuhrer of the evil Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, is lying about his tariffs. Foreigners don’t pay them. You do. Yjrn Re[ublicans use the money to give welfare to billionaires. RESIST!!

From The New Yorker: Millions of viewers of a televised debate Wednesday night found themselves struggling with the notion of a President with no visible personality disorder.

In interviews across the country, viewers said that they were having difficulty imagining a President who does not display flagrant signs of malignant narcissism, impulse-control deficit, or rampant paranoia.

“I kept trying to picture whether any of these people would be capable of insulting another country on Twitter to compensate for his or her own pathological sense of inadequacy,” Harland Dorrinson, who lives in Akron, Ohio, said. “None of them showed me that they have what it takes to do that.”

“A President should be ready, at a moment’s notice, to ridicule another person’s face,” Carol Foyler, of Nashville, said. “I didn’t see one person on that stage who seemed up to that task.”

Dang Andy! I don ‘t know what to say I’m quite sure Liz doesn’t want a Russian hooker. RESIST!!
