It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. WWWendy sheared me quite well yesterday, and it’s wonderful to be able to scratch itches on my scalp again.  I feel a bit tired, but I plan no trips out before my procedure a week from Tuesday.  Oh God, It’s Monday!

Is this not typical of the foreign policy “successes” we see from the Republican Reich?  RESIST!!

From YouTube (Jesse Dollemore Channel): THE CULT HAS SPOKEN!!! In New Poll Republicans Say Trump is Greater Than Abraham Lincoln!

Barf Bag Alert!!

 

Very well said, Jesse. Would someone please open Abe’s casket and clean out the excrement? If I were Lincoln, that Republican “truth” would have made me fill my pants too!  RESIST!!

It’s a tired day here in the CatBox.  Yesterday was so hectic and frustrating, that it just tired me out.  I finally got my biopsy reset for Tuesday the 17th.  I’m listening to the Judiciary Committee.  The Republican Reich is fighting like hell to obstruct the hearing.  WWWendy is coming tonight, and I’m most ready to be de-stunk.  Happy Hump Day!

Short Takes:

From The New Yorker: This year’s summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization began on a discordant note, on Tuesday, after the other twenty-eight nato leaders challenged Donald Trump to spell nato.

At a preliminary gathering of the leaders, Trump demanded that the other member nations increase their cash contributions to the alliance, prompting Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, to issue the unexpected and unwelcome spelling challenge.

“We’ll be happy to give more to nato, Mr. President, if you can spell nato,” she said, drawing raucous applause from the other leaders.

Handing Trump a pencil and a yellow legal pad, Merkel watched as he struggled to spell the word correctly, crumpling page after page in the effort.

After several failed attempts, Trump finally offered up a drawing of several stick figures standing in a row and asked for “partial credit.”

When the other nato leaders rejected his request by a 28–0 voice vote, Trump stormed out of the room, vowing never to return.

Dang Andy! That wasn’t fair! He never had a chance!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (CNN Channel): Video appears to show world leaders gossiping about Trump

 

How do Republicans stand it? I feel embarrassed as hell to see the head of this nation, albeit unelected, ridiculed in a forum of world leaders. Of course he deserves it. They have no shame!  RESIST!!

From YouTube (Robert Reich Channel): How America Created Its Shameful Wealth Gap with Robert Reich

 

Solana Rice is right. The Republican Reich mandates poverty for minority Americans. It’s one more way the Republican Reich institutionalizes racism.  RESIST!!
