It’s a crazy Sunday, here in the CatBox.  I overslept by over 90 minutes, so that was my AM nap.  Have a fine Sunday!

The Showdown at Chicken Liver Gulch:

Yesterday, there was some hilarity here.  At my request WWWendy sautéed and gooped some chicken livers.  Now Wendy’s opinion of liver is considerably worse than my opinion of Trump*.  It was delicious, and I had some for lunch with guacamole, aka goopamole.  I often feed her bites of goopamole, when  I eat it, so I did so yesterday.  I had teasingly asked her if she’d like a bite of liver to see the strength of her NO!  So when I offered her the goopamole, she decided that I was using goopamole to hide the liver underneath.  Although I have never done anything mean to her, it took me several minutes to convince her that I would not do such a thing, and she enjoyed the goopamole.  In fact, I was so considerate that I gargled with Listerine, so I could hug her goodbye without liver on my breath.  It was so good, I had more for breakfast.

Short Takes:

From CNN: Maryanne Trump Barry bitterly criticized her brother, President Donald Trump, saying, “Donald’s out for Donald,” and appeared to confirm her niece Mary Trump’s previous allegations that he had a friend take his SATs to get into college, according to audio excerpts obtained by CNN.

The Washington Post first obtained the previously unreleased transcripts and audio from Mary Trump, author of a recent bombshell book about the President and one of his most outspoken critics. Mary Trump, who has said that Donald Trump is unfit to be president and has voiced support for his rival Joe Biden, revealed to the Post that she had secretly taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with Barry in 2018 and 2019.

In one of the conversations revealed by the Post, Trump’s sister called him “cruel.”

Among the some of the more critical comments made by Barry was commenting on how her younger 74-year-old brother operated as president. “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” she said, according to the recording. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.”

This is nothing new to us, but it might influence those few, who are still on the fence.  RESIST!!

From NY Times: Tropical Storms Marco and Laura continued to churn in the Caribbean on Saturday, prompting a wave of warnings and watches for several countries, and leading the governor of Louisiana to declare a state of emergency.

Marco on Saturday was about 110 miles northwest of the western tip of Cuba, with maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour, the National Hurricane Center said on Saturday night.

Mr. Cline said it was possible that both storms would become hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico as early as Monday. He added that it would be “pretty unusual” and that the last time it happened was in 1933. The last time a hurricane and a tropical storm were both in the Gulf of Mexico was in 1959, he said…[emphasis added]

Note that for the second time, criminal Fuhrer Trump* has stolen FEMA funds to pay for his scams. First, he did so in 2019 to pay for the wall that never happened. Second, he did so to pay for the Unemployment relief that nobody received. I doubt that he will put the money back, even though hurricanes are on the way.  RESIST!!

From YouTube (a blast of protest): “He’s Got Bone Spurs” a Roy Zimmerman song parody

So true! Kudos to left wing protestors.  RESIST!!

I am an amputee in a wheel chair.  I have stage four metastatic esophageal cancer, spinal cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer.  Virtually everything I need to survive, except my chemotherapy treatments at the hospital, I have to buy online.  Most of those things, including several of my meds, come by mail.  I need USPS to survive, but criminal Fuhrer Trump and the Republican Reich are sabotaging USPS to interfere with the voting rights if people who need to and have the right to vote by mail.

0814USPSFunding

If Americans think that “rigged elections” are something that only happens in far-off countries like Belarus, Trevor Noah had a rude awakening for them. “It already, it’s already starting to rear its ugly head right here,” he said.

The Daily Show host was of course talking about President Donald Trump’s stunning admission in a Fox News interview on Thursday morning that he is actively blocking funding for the U.S. Postal Service to prevent them from being able to accommodate universal mail-in voting

“They need that money in order to have the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo of two provisions he opposes in the Democrat’s coronavirus relief bill. “But if they don’t get those two items that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting, because they’re not equipped to have it.”

“Goddamn,” Noah replied after playing the clip. “I’ve never seen a villain give away a plan like that without seeing James Bond tied to a chair in front of him.”…

Trump Plainly Admits Plan to Limit Mail-In Voting

Barf Bag Alert!!

 

In short, Trump* and the Republican Reich are trying to steal the votes of millions of Americans.  That’s bad enough.  Republicans don’t care that they are sabotaging a Constitutionally guaranteed service that millions need to survive.  I’m one of them.  If Trump* gets his way, he might kill me.

For the past several days we’ve been discussing the crimes committed by the Republican Nazi Gestapo that criminal Fuhrer Trump* sent to Portland to bully, harass and intimidate peaceful demonstrators.  The governor, the mayor, the state AG, two Senators, four House Reps, the ACLU and more have been unable to deter these stormtroopers from their crimes.  However, one naked woman sent them scurrying away in abject terror like the Republican cowards they are!

0721NakedAthena

A protester dubbed ‘Naked Athena’ confronted Portland police wearing only a face mask and beanie.

The unidentified woman struck a series of ballet and yoga poses in front of anti-riot officers at around 1.45 am on Saturday morning.

Surreal video footage from the scene shows the woman striding towards the officers, who were in heavy protective gear including gas masks and helmets, almost completely naked…

…The standoff comes after the city of Portland marked its 50th consecutive night of unrest following the death of George Floyd, with crowds taking to the streets to denounce racial injustice.

Officers proceed to fire pepper balls at the woman’s feet and another protester is filmed rushing to protect her with a makeshift shield.

However she side-steps him to perform a series of yoga poses in front of the officers and even reclines onto the street at one point.

Her graceful poses stand in stark contrast to the heavily-armed guards.

According to Dave Killen, a photographer for The Oregonian, the officers left around 10 minutes after the naked woman showed up…. [emphasis added]

The article is incorrect about one thing.  As you’ll see in the video, the federal Republican Nazi Gestapo are in the center of the combat line.  Portland police, acting in violation of their superiors’ orders, are deployed on both flanks.

Here’s a video of the incident.  Although it does contain nudity, it is in no way sexual.

Naked Woman Protester Scares Away Portland Police

Watch the Republican Nazi cowards run away, the federal gestapo first and then Portland PD!

Kudos to Naked Athena, whoever you are!

The State of Oregon and the City of Portland have been cracking down on the violent misconduct by our Republican dominated police department, so criminal Fuhrer Trump* sent us his own gestapo to federalize abuse of power by police.

0713LaBella

Federal law enforcement shot and severely injured a protester Saturday night during demonstrations in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Portland.

Donavan LaBella, 26, was shot in the head by what friends and witnesses said was an impact munition.

Videos of the incident posted online brought swift condemnation from some local leaders, including both of Oregon’s U.S. Senators, who demanded answers from the federal government, and City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who asked that federal troops leave Portland immediately.

Mayor Ted Wheeler, in a statement released just before 9 p.m. Sunday, called on federal law enforcement to abide by the same standards as Portland officers in using less-lethal weapons against protesters.

In one video, LaBella is seen pushing a canister of smoke or tear gas away from his feet across the street from the Mark O. Hatfield federal courthouse. Moments later, LaBella returns to holding a speaker over his head with both hands. Shots of impact munitions can be heard, and LaBella collapses to the ground, dropping the speaker…

I have both videos of the incident.  They are graphic.

* Graphic * Portland, Or. – US Marshals fire tear gas striking BLM protester in the head.

Note that neither Donovan LaBella nor the other protestors did anything to threaten Trump’s* Republican Nazi pigs in any way.  This is simply a criminal assault by Republican gestapo against citizens exercising their right to protest.

It’s a busy, stinky day here in the CatBox.  By now WWWendy is on her way home, and I’m looking forward to her return, BIG Time.  Her cell must be out of range of a tower.  I took Nameless’ advice and shot a portal message to my palliative care team, as I’m hurting pretty bad.  Oh, God!  It’s Monday!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Police Join Protesters In Demonstrations Across U.S.

I often get down on police at demonstrations, as I have witnessed far too many instances of harm, up to including death, inflicted on peaceful demonstrators by fascist Republican police, through their vicious use of violence. Kudos to those cops, who did the right thing by joining the demonstrators, including some here in Portland.  RESIST!!

I don’t doubt for a second that criminal Fuhrer Trump* demanded that secret service take him to the bunker, because he suffered a severe attack of bone spurs.  RESIST!!
