Now This News features Pobert Reich

The Lincoln Project – Veterans Day

Trying not to forget about Georgia (besides, Lawrence is always watchable.)

Ad then there’s Rev Warnock – also on MSNBC – a little long, but I don’t want to be forgetting if I can help it.

Beau on the difference (stick with him. It may help someone, some time.)

No Keith yet and he’s already late.  If he shows up, I’ll either add him here, or add him in tomorrow.

It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox.  WWWendy is here and we have lots of chores to do and medical mayhem to schedule.  I have a back brace coming and a new pad.  Molly wants me to try a topical anesthetic.  This is it for today, but I should be back in the saddle tomorrow.  Happy Hump Day!

I just received a series of text messages from Nameless.  He is in the ER and is going to be transferred to ICU with what may be either COVID-19 or CHF.  Please keep him in your thoughts, prayers, or however you address the infinite.  I will keep you posted as I learn more.

Jon Ossoff on MSNBC (the CC is a little ahead of actual timing, but pretty accurate otherwise)

You probably read about this – but it’s still funny

OK, this is kind of self-serving, but it’s short.

It’s another tired day here in the CatBox.  Instead of taking a nap to rest my back, I’m waiting for Molly, my physical therapist, to arrive and make recommendations.  Tomorrow is a WWWendy day, and she’s coming early in the morning to destink the raunchy TomCat, do chores, and prepare edible food.  Therefore, please expect no more than a brief Personal Update.  Tuesday is Flush your Republicans Day.  Be careful.  They’re getting desperate these days.

Trump* Virus Update (an occasional feature from now on):

1110TrumpVirusMap

US Cases: 10,428,603
US Deaths: 244,521
Plus the Trump*/GOP plague murders Republicans are hiding

Short Takes:

From Daily Kos: President-elect Joe Biden’s campaign was never quiet about what the first goal of a Biden administration would be: to undo Trumpism. Undo as many of Donald Trump’s racist, white nationalist, fact-averse, science-hostile orders and policies as possible, as soon as possible, and return the United States to something approaching competent normalcy.

Fortunately for the next Democratic administration, the Trump Team made heavy use of executive orders and regulatory “reinterpretations” in their efforts to sabotage prior government policies. That means those moves can be undone by the very same mechanisms.

It might be easier for Joe to reverse that approach. Here is the complete list of everything Trump* and the Republican Reich have not broken:
[begin here]…

…[end of list].
RESIST!!

From YouTube (Raw Story Channel): Lindsey Graham: Overturn this election or ‘there will never be another Republican president’

 

First, may this election stand. Second, may Lindsey Poo be absolutely correct that there will never be another Republican Resident.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Trump’s Attempt to Steal the Election Won’t Work

 

Thank God the Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right. To complete the process, the Reich on the Right, the Republican Reich, needs to follow their Fuhrer around the bowl and down the drain.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast from the past): The Beatles – Come Together

 

People of America, reject the Republican Reich and come together!  RESIST!!

Now This News – a Jon Ossoff video (about 6 minutes) and a vid on the work of artists in India

This is a parody of Avenger: Endgame which may need a hanky alert. I hope the embed works I’ve never tried a direct embed from C&L before.

Not much dialogue, but – Trump: If you take a look at the states we’ve won, and then look at the margins we won them by, frankly, we did win this election. Biden: Will you shut up, man. Obama: We can’t just imagine a better future. We’ve got to fight for it. Sanders: Is that everyone? Yang: What, you wanted more? Biden: Now, every vote must be counted. No one’s going to take our democracy away from us….Avengers!

This is for Lona (not that she hasn’t already seen it – I’m confident she has – but share on her behalf, so to speak.

Apparently this is an actual movie trailer. I’d love to see the movie!

A blast from the past

And, of course, Keith

It’s another tired day here in the CatBox.  I slept so much the night before last and yesterday that I could not sleep last night.  Tomorrow morning Molly, my physical therapist, is coming back, and what I get done here depends on how long that takes.  Since Trump* is headed for the drain, Woooo Hoooo it’s Monday!

OK, Turd Birds.  You got the win.  Now put Ossoff and Warnock in the US Senate.  That’s the deal!

Short Takes:

From BBC: The first effective coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19, a preliminary analysis shows.

The developers – Pfizer and BioNTech – described it as a “great day for science and humanity”.

Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.

The companies plan to apply for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month.

A vaccine – alongside better treatments – is seen as the best way of getting out of the restrictions that have been imposed on all our lives.

There are around a dozen in the final stages of testing – known as a phase 3 trial – but this is the first to show any results.

It uses a completely experimental approach – that involves injecting part of the virus’s genetic code – in order to train the immune system.

I’m glad to see that Pfizer could get it up. However We’re probably at least a year before they can get it out into widespread distribution.  But the biggest step toward getting control of the Trump* Virus plague is getting rid of Trump*.  RESIST!!

From Crooks and Liars: As the 2020 presidential votes are being counted, Georgia has two Senate races headed to a runoff election on Jan. 5, 2021. Nothing less than the majority of the United States Senate is on the line. Jon Ossoff wasted no time kicking off his reenergized campaign as Democrats seem to have some wind at their back in the Peach State.

 

Go Jon, go! Here at PP, we have a secret weapon to unleash on David “Donnie’s Pet” Perdue. Freya, give him a Saguaro Suppository!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast of freedom): Elected

 

There’s a 70s song that still works! Celebrate!!  RESIST!!

I promised TC I would say “AMEN” here, and so I am.

This is the full event for anyone who missed it. I won’t be hurt if no one watches it, but I thought it should be in our files.

Now This News – No CC because no words – just pictures worth a thousand each.

Beau – and AMEN. Again.

I am not expecting to hear from Keith today, but I doubt he is through. We have a “transition” to get through. I think, first, he will stay with us through then, and second, he will tell us when he does the last broadcast he intends to do. But we shall see.
