Meidas Touch – Georgia has had enough
Such a slow day i had to fall back on Henri le Chat Noir. WelL, he does politics … (Not new, but still good IMO)
TC, I know you will appreciate this clip …
Beau on manufacturing. Stay with him.
As of 9:30 pm Pacific, there is one video up which is ~36 minutes long. I don’t know whether there are plans to split it up and take this one down. So, I’m putting it up. And going to bed. As soon as I start the crockpot. 
(It does have CC.)
They left this one up and put up a second seven hours later. Glad I didn’t even try to stay up for it. It’d a little over 22 minutes:, and also has CC

OK, over six minutes, but 6 minutes of what we’ve waited four – no, five and a half – years to hear from the MSM
President Trump will “forever be remembered as viciously divisive and a demagogue. A man who lied about a pandemic, to suit his own interest,” says @chriscuomo as the President continues to lie, deny and defy about the election results.

Update from Betty Bowers
This is long (18+ minutes), but it is Joe’s official Thanksgiving message.
And Keith.
It’s another tired/painful day here in the CatBox, as I recover from medical mayhem. Tomorrow I hope to post a brief Personal Update and a Holiday message. WWWendy is coming early to destink the TomCat and help as quickly as possible, so she can get home to spend the holiday with her family. She and I will celebrate on Sunday instead. I’ll spend most of the day with the Ellipsoid Orb, even though my Broncos aren’t playing. Happy Hump Day!

From The New Yorker: In a series of blistering tweets, Donald J. Trump ripped President-elect Joe Biden for choosing Cabinet members woefully lacking in reality-show experience.
Calling the Cabinet picks a “bunch of losers who have spent their lives working at desks,” Trump questioned the team’s preparedness to take on the challenges presented by today’s complex reality-show landscape.
“These people have never earned an immunity idol, presided over a rose ceremony, or danced with a star,” Trump said. “This is the best Sleepy Joe could do?”
He saved his most withering criticism for Janet Yellen, Biden’s pick for Treasury Secretary. “If Joe really wanted a woman for this position, why didn’t he choose one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?” Trump asked. “They know a lot more about money than this clown.”
Andy is back to reporting straight news again. RESIST!!
From Alternet: On Friday night, September 18, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell learned that liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had died of cancer at the age of 87. And according to PBS’ “Frontline,” McConnell contacted President Donald Trump that very night and made it clear he wanted to see Judge Amy Coney Barrett nominated for the seat and confirmed by the U.S. Senate as quickly as possible.
Josh Holmes, McConnell’s former chief of staff, explained to “Frontline” that on September 18, “McConnell told (Trump) two things. McConnell said: First, I’m going to put out a statement that says we’re going to fill the vacancy. Second, he said, you’ve gotta nominate Amy Coney Barrett.”
That quote is from the PBS documentary, “Supreme Revenge: Battle for the Court,” which premieres this week.
I hate to say this, but the revelation that Amy Coney Bullshit was Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch’s pick scares me even more than the belief that she was criminal Fuhrer Trump’s pick. RESIST!!
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Republican Media Stunt Falsely Cast as State Legislative Hearing
Isn’t it interesting to note that yesterday I suggested that Trump’s* post-defeat antics are a show for Sheeple-fleecing, and today, Rachel says the same thing by showing that this is just a fund-raiser. That’s a great mind with whom to fall in the same ditch. RESIST!!

I really hope this embed works, because the Twitter original didn’t have CC, and she’s so British, I think it’s needed for all of us. (She has more out, and they now have CC, but it’s small.
And Keith –
It’s a very tired day here in the CatBox. Yesterday’s trip it the Oncologist was a disaster. When we got there, they pulled us back into an examining room. The nurse told us my chart had been flagged that I might have been exposed to Trump* virus and needed to be isolated. They said someone would be “right in” to explain. The assistant I was scheduled to see that is pregnant, and they would not send her into the room with me. Not knowing that, I sat in ever-increasing pain for well over an two hours. Nurses asked occasional questions through the door. They finally determined that the flag must have been in error, and the pregnant assistant came in. She said she didn’t understand what had happened, because they had never seen a chart with that flag before. WWWendy would have been unable to wait the additional three hours, and I was in too much pain to stay, so we rescheduled for next month. The assistant sent me a “my chart” message explaining the mistake. The hospital decided to routinely flag the charts of app patients who have been tested for Trump* virus, but they neglected to inform the Oncology office of that policy. Because my chart was their first time to see the flag, they didn’t know how to handle it. They apologized. I bet Nameless has a collection of similar hospital horror stories. In any event, the pizza is magnificent. Tuesday is Flush Your Republicans Day. Hold that lid tight!

From NY Times: President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. plans to name Janet L. Yellen as Treasury secretary, a nomination that would put a woman in charge of the Treasury for the first time in its 231-year history.
The expected appointment came as Mr. Biden moved to fill other top cabinet roles, selecting Alejandro Mayorkas as the first Latino to lead the Department of Homeland Security and Avril Haines as the first woman to be the director of national intelligence.
Mr. Biden is also expected to create a new post of international climate envoy and tap John Kerry, a former secretary of state who was a chief negotiator for the United States on the Paris climate change accord.
In choosing Ms. Yellen, who was also the first woman to lead the Federal Reserve, Mr. Biden is turning to a renowned labor economist at a moment of high unemployment, when millions of Americans remain out of work and the economy continues to struggle from the coronavirus.
Overall, these are good picks, although there are some I would have preferred that are more progressive. I like Yellen, and Kerry is a solid environmentalist. I need to learn more about the others. RESIST!!
From Alternet: Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, is expected to step down in the next Congressional session following stark criticism from progressive lawmakers due to her handling of U.S Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination hearings.
Multiple people close to the situation confirmed Feinstein’s plans to Politico, and she later released a statement confirming her intent. Although she will be stepping away from the judiciary committee, she did note that she will be working with the Biden administration and will continue to serve on other committees.
“After serving as the lead Democrat on the Judiciary Committee for four years, I will not seek the chairmanship or ranking member position in the next Congress,” the California Democrat said in a statement. “I look forward to continuing to serve as a senior Democrat on the Judiciary, Intelligence, Appropriations and Rules committees as we work with the Biden administration.”
That’s good news for the Judiciary Committee. I’d like to see DINO DiFi head the Senate Washroom committee. RESIST!!
Frio YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Trump Administration Officially Authorizes Biden Transition
This is the best news we’ve heard since Biden passed 270. I think Trump* has actually given up. He is playing at fighting the results at this point, because he’s realized that fight is a far more profitable method of Sheeple-fleecing than Trump U or Trump Steaks ever were. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast for the planet): Bad Moon Rising
They were most prescient to understand so many years ago the climate tragedy we face today. Pray that Kerry’s leadership will help bring Good Moon times. RESIST!!
