I’m feeling quite tired today.  WWWendy was late, because she stopped to inspect the new apartment on the way.  There are some bathroom issues to correct, but otherwise, I’ll have more room than ever.  We activated my iPhone, and that did not go well, but aster 30 minutes with tech support, it’s up and running.  Then I transferred my contacts and erased the old phone.  I finally got to bed about three hours late.  No wonder I’m pooped, here in the tiny old CatBox.

Today’s took me 3:50 (average 5:16).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Chuck Schumer: Donald Trump Bailed On Meeting To Throw Rose Garden Tantrum

Fuhrer Drumpfenfarten never intended to make an infrastructure deal. The staged deception in the Rose Garden was a failed attempt to project the blame for the failure of the Republican Reich to agree on a doable plan onto Democrats, who do have a plan. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Vox Channel): Climate change is making allergy season worse

That means that I can blame the carbon-loving Republican Reich for the sickness I’ve had this spring. RESIST!!

From Daily Kos: How any Republican can get even one woman’s vote is beyond me. What they do in the halls of government is bad enough, and then there’s shit like this.

According to recent media reports, Doug McLeod, a Mississippi state representative, was arrested on Saturday night for allegedly punching his wife in the face. Why did he do it? Because she undressed too slowly when he wanted to have sex with her.

Oh, and he’d been drinking. Probably a lot.

Talking Points Memo:

After McLeod allegedly hit his wife, she ran to another woman’s room to hide from her husband. McLeod allegedly banged on the door and threatened the other woman that he’d “kill her [expletive] dog” if she didn’t let him in.

“Are you kidding me?” he allegedly said when the cops showed up. At one point, deputies said they couldn’t understand what McLeod was saying because his speech was too slurred. They found blood in the couple’s bedroom.

McLeod was charged with misdemeanor violence and is out on $1,000 bond. 

Republicans consider women to be property, so they think abusing wives is their right. RESIST!!

Cartoon:

I slept well, so I’m trying top crawl back in the saddle, but just barely.  Tomorrow will depend on how I feel then.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 5:46 (average 7:30).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: Why We Must Legalize Marijuana

Of course the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. The Reich on the right, the racist Republican Reich, will crap their pants, if Democrats steal their theme song: This Bud’s for You. RESIST!!

From YouTube (Jesse Dollemore Channel): Trump May Be Preparing Pardons for Servicemen Accused of War Crimes! Fox News Thinks it’s GREAT!!!

US Service people are among the most honorable in the world. I think one reason is their adherence to a strict code of military justice. If Republican’s undermine that code, we will lose that credibility forever. RESIST!!

From NY Times: Access to a government jet 24 hours a day. An office in the West Wing, plus guaranteed weekends off for family time. And an assurance of being made secretary of homeland security by November.

Those were among a list of 10 conditions that Kris Kobach, the former Kansas secretary of state, has given to the White House if he is to become the administration’s “immigration czar,” a job President Trump has been looking to create to coordinate immigration policy across government agencies. The list was described by three people familiar with it.

ARGH! Kobitch:immigration::Eichmann:Transportation. What a Republican wet dream! RESIST!!

I’m improving gradually.  WWWendy is coming soon, and we have a busy day.  This is today’s only article, with no links messages on Care2.

Jig Zone Puzzle:

Today’s took me 3:28 (5:13 average).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Takes:

From YouTube (SNL Channel): Don’t Stop Me Now Cold Open

Stop Trump and the Republican Reich! NOW!! RESIST!!

From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): Lie Us Into War – Parody

Great one, Don! Isn’t that the only way the Republican Reich commits war? RESIST!!

From Daily Kos: Just yesterday, we covered the sickening story of a St. Paul, Minnesota, teacher describing her black students as ‘f——g n——s’ on video. Today, we have a different yet also horrifying video to discuss. There are some key differences: This video involves a Missouri high school, for example, it first appeared on Snapchat, and this time, it’s a student flinging out the racial slurs.

Perhaps the most important difference, however, is that in this 20-second viral video, the teen doesn’t just use offensive language. He threatens to lynch his peers.

Yes, really.

@KickapooChiefs #KickapooHS #Kickapoo @springfieldNL the police do not think threatening LYNCHING to the Black & LGBTQIA teens in High School is a POLICE MATTER!!! @SGFPolice pic.twitter.com/G1TJlk1m67

That goose-stepper has a job waiting with the Republican Party. RESIST!!

Cartoon:

ARGH!!  What a day!  Yesterday, they prescribed Amoxicillin and Prednisone.  It helped and I got the first decent sleep I’ve had in days.  Today I found an update waiting for my phone.  It’s an old iPhone and it locked up.  It took me over three and a half hours to restore it enough to call and text, but it will no longer update.  I waited too long. My new phone should be delivered to WWWendy tomorrow.  I’ll get it Sunday.  That left me no time to research, so I don’t have even a short take.  ARGH!!  TGIF!
