It’s starting to warm here in the CatBox. My hopes and prayers are with the people of Paris over the fire at and near destruction of Notre Dame Cathedral. I am thankful that it can be restored.

Short Takes:
From YouTube (Trae Crowder Channel): GoTdam with Trae Crowder
Since I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, his comments are over my head. However, I’m confident that none of the characters sound like Trae. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): Robert Reich: 12 Myths About Taxing the Rich
The Reich on the left, Robert Reich, is right on 12 out of 12. The Reich on the right, the Republican Reich, are pawns of the greediest billionaires. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Dollemore Channel): Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Apparently Wildly NOT Self-Aware) Calls Congress Too Dumb for Trump’s Taxes!
On a scale of one to ten, Sarah Upchuckabee is an asshole, just like her Fuhrer. RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: Americans are in a state of abject panic amid reports that Donald J. Trump is threatening to dump thousands of fired Cabinet members and aides on cities that do not support him.
Harland Dorrinson, who lives in San Francisco, said that “every American should be alarmed” at the spectre of former Trump staffers like Kirstjen Nielsen, Scott Pruitt, and Anthony Scaramucci descending on their towns.
“A lot of these people were unsavory to begin with, and their time at the White House only hardened them,” he said.
Oh Andy! How horrid! RESIST!!

I like Rep. Ilhan Omar. She’s got spunk. At the same time, I recognize that her inexperience has led her to factual errors and statements that were too easy to misunderstand. If someone disagrees or want’s to correct her errors, they are free to do so. They are not free to set her up to suffer injury or death from a violent attack. However that is exactly what Trump and his Republican Reich are trying to do.
Rep. Ilhan Omar says she’s faced increased death threats since President Donald Trump spread around a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks. “This is endangering lives,” she said, accusing Trump of fomenting right-wing extremism. “It has to stop.”
Her statement late Sunday followed an announcement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she has taken steps to ensure the safety of the Minnesota Democrat and the speaker’s call for Trump to take down the video.
Soon after Pelosi’s statement, the video disappeared as a pinned tweet at the top of Trump’s Twitter feed, but it was not deleted.
Pelosi was among Democrats who had criticized Trump over the tweet, with some accusing him of trying to incite violence against the Muslim lawmaker. An upstate New York man recently was charged with making death threats against her… [emphasis added]

Here’s more coverage from CNN.
Actually, she was wrong too. CAIR was founded in 1994, not after 9/11. What Rogers said could not be more absurd. Violent Republican hate speech is NOT free speech.

It’s a chilly day here in the CatBox. Happy Infernal Revenue Day. If you just filed and it was so painful that you can’t sit down, a gay friend recommends Butt Butter. Oh God it’s Monday!

Short Tales:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Rep. Mike Quigley Expects DOJ To Reveal “As Little As They Possibly Can” In Redacted Mueller Report
Mueller set a “very high bar”. To combat that, Trump and the Republican Reich set a very low Barr, or should I say Barrf? RESIST!!
From The Guardian: …Bernie Sanders will finish a four-day tour of Trump Country on Monday, with a town hall on the president’s favorite network: Fox News.
It is an unexpected partnership, between a self-described democratic socialist and a media outlet that dedicates primetime to pundits who rail against a purported “creep” of socialism.
The event will be staged in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a state Trump won by less than 1%, and it will be moderated by Fox anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.
Sanders is the first Democratic presidential candidate to appear on the network for such an event. He says it is a way to speak directly to Trump supporters, to make the case that the president is a “pathological liar” who has misled the working class. The booking is also important for Fox News, which was banned from hosting a Democratic primary debate.
Among Democrats, the booking has drawn criticism. Progressive groups are urging presidential contenders to boycott the network whose stream of pro-Trump commentary has led critics to liken it to unofficial “state TV”.
As much as I detest the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda, Faux Noise, I’m trying to remain open minded about this. The huge number of voters in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin get all their propaganda from Faux Noise. That may be the only way to expose them to truth about their Fuhrer. Nevertheless, I won’t be watching it. RESIST!!
From Alternet: CNN’s John Avlon on Monday ran down years’ worth of President Donald Trump’s lies in a short three-minute video.
During his “Reality Check” segment titled “Does Trump know we have video of his speeches?”, Avlon took the president and his White House to task for constantly reversing positions they’ve held in the past — and then shamelessly lying about it.
I’d make a two-faced graphic of Trump, except for one thing. No barf bag is big and strong enough to contain the response. RESIST!!

Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Missing Inaugural Ball Money Adds Layer To Odd Trump-China Story
If I had to guess, I’d say the money was used to pay for a lifetime supply of happy ending tugs for Putin’s Piddle Pervert. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Parody Project Channel): MAR-A-LAGO-VILLE – Parody
Kudos again, Don. When Himicane Andrew hit FL, I so hoped that vile place would follow Atlantis. No such luck. 🙁 RESIST!!
From Think Progress: President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ran a family company in which employees were subjected to “widespread” and “pervasive” sexual harassment, according to an investigation by the Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).
The investigation concluded that AccuWeather, the company then run by Trump nominee Barry Lee Myers, had a culture of sexual harassment and discrimination that included unwanted touching and kissing by a male executive, according to a letter obtained by ThinkProgress via a Freedom of Information Act request.
Women who engaged in sexual relationships with senior male managers were rewarded with “job-related perks,” the OFCCP letter concludes. Many women resigned rather than submitting to the harassment, while others feared being “blacklisted” if they filed complaints, the January 2018 letter states.
Although they were aware of the issue, AccuWeather officials “did not take reasonable action to prevent and remedy harassing conduct,” the letter says.
We are wasting our time objecting to this. In the Trump sycophancy and the Republican Reich, perversion is a prerequisite, not a liability. RESIST!!

It’s that time of week again, so here are five superior video clips from Bill’s show last night. Enjoy!
Bill seems to understand Coverup General Barrf and the Republican Reich quite well. Kentucky outlawed bestiality? Then it was legal before. Hmmm… That explains Bought Bitch Mitch!
He’s 71?!!? I am too. I wish I looked half that good.
