It’s a relatively lazy holiday here in the CatBox. I looked forward to today, because I would have been able to see Portland’s main fireworks display from my window. Of course, it has been cancelled. Maybe I’ll see it next year, if I live that long. Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update or an Open Thread. WWWendy is coming so destink the pungent TomCat, change my patch, goop and help with chores. Also, because we’re running out of time, tomorrow is Infernal Revenue day in the CatBox. Have a fine weekend!

Trump* Virus Update:

From YouTube (Lincoln Project Channel): Gettysburg
This could not be more appropriate for today! We must remember those murdered by criminal Fuhrer Trump’s* racist Republican Reich! God bless those very few Republicans that understand this. The smart ones have left or will soon leave the party. RESIST!!
From Raw Story: Yet another senior Donald Trump advisor has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of President Trump’s eldest son and a top fund-raising official for the Trump re-election campaign, tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday before a Fourth of July event at Mount Rushmore, a person familiar with her condition said,” The New York Times reported shortly before Trump’s speech began.
“Ms. Guilfoyle traveled to South Dakota with Mr. Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr., in anticipation of attending a huge fireworks display where the president was set to speak. They did not travel aboard Air Force One, according to the person familiar with her condition, and she was the only person in the group who tested positive,” the newspaper reported. “Still, that another person who was expected to be near Mr. Trump tested positive — and someone who most staff aides consider a member of the Trump family — is likely to renew attention around potential risks to the president.”
How rabid! She attended criminal Fuhrer Trump’s white supremacy super-spreader campaign show, while infected with Trump* virus and no mask or distancing. How many will die, because she spread her Fuhrer’s plague? She needs to do one more thing: give her boyfriend’s father* a BIG, sloppy kiss! RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast from Woodstock): BERT SOMMER – AMERICA – WOODSTOCK 69
The next few songs are dedicated to all who were at Woodstock or wanted to be. Most of us gave Bert a standing ovation for this song. Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
It’s a very busy day, here in the CatBox, so this is my only article today today. JD, you might want to cover the new John Pavlovitz video. WWWendy got back to town late last night and is coming to de-stink me this afternoon. I could not need it more. I received a reply from my palliative care team. They upped Oxycodone my dosage to 5 – 10 mg every 4 – 6 hours as needed, so when I’m in my chair, I’m gradually increasing my dosage to find the minimum that works. This morning I had a video visit with Megan, my PCP. She took me off of insulin, simvastatin, and lisinopril. After that, I ensconced my butt on the throne for about an hour. I unloaded virtually everything that had collected since leaving the hospital and before. It was done in a healthy fashion, but I swear that some of the Republicans that came out of me met Abe Lincoln personally! Tuesday is flush Republicans day! I did!

From The New Yorker: A controversial new study suggests that the United States of America could benefit from having a President.
The study has raised eyebrows by claiming that a President could be helpful in unifying a country and, in a best-case scenario, providing moral leadership.
“At a time of crisis, a President could be a galvanizing figure who leads a country to a better future,” the study theorizes. “He or she could bring a nation together rather than tear it apart.”
In one of the study’s most radical proposals, it argues that a so-called Justice Department could include an Attorney General appointed by the President to uphold the rule of law.
But Andy, if the US had a President instead of Resident Trump*, then Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch and Barrf could not run the Republican Reich! RESIST!!
From YouTube (Lincoln Project Channel): Flag of Treason
The Republican Reich, led by criminal Fuhrer Trump*, is the party of hate, the party of racism, and the party of treason! RESIST!!

Ah… the memories! RESIST!!
It’s a tired day, here in the CatBox, as yesterday completely wore me out. I’ve avoided tatoos all my life, but now I have five. They are small dots on my abdomen to serve as targeting guides. I almost asked them to roll me over and put two eyes above my butt hole. That would have given me a Trump* tattoo that acts just like the Fuhrer does!

From Daily Kos: There is an op-ed in the Kansas City Star written by Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren (www.kansascity.com/…) promising to use the power of the government to punish the blatant corruption that is obvious everywhere:
The Biden administration will appoint an inspector general to review every coronavirus relief transaction currently evading serious scrutiny. Wasteful, corrupt deals and giveaways will be rooted out and undone. Suspicious transactions will be referred to the Justice Department for investigation and prosecution. Every Trump administration official and business executive contemplating such deals should hear us loud and clear. Trump may wink and nod at this corruption. We will not.
Imagine what this means for Jared Kushner? Or everyone involved in the open piracy of stealing medical supplies from a state that paid for them (and arranged transportation)? Or all the companies selling our national stockpile for high profits?
When this unfortunate virus has stabilized, we need a national truth and reconciliation committee. And with real jail time!!
Wow! If they really follow through this time, unlike far too many past instances, we’ll need to build more prisons to hold those Republican corporate criminals. RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): New Ad From Conservative Group Angers Trump
I think the Lincoln Project made a fantastic ad. On most things, I completely disagree with most conservatives. However, I am willing to respect them, coexist with them, and compromise with then, with one caveat. It must be mutual. That cannot happen with today’s Republican Reich. RESIST!!
