It’s a crazy day here in the CatBox.  I posted my lead article early this morning, a live feed of the Impeachment Hearings for you.  Shortly afterwards, my Imodium induced Republicitis, that made my medical visits possible. broke loose, so I popped on George, rushed to the throne, and went into a “hat” inserted in the throne.  I spent the next half hour packing gooey poo into pill bottles to take to the lab (Lift scheduled for Friday).  That was gross.  I wish I had been able to send contents of my kitty box with the nice kitty crunchies that dawgs<\/em> like so much.  Then I did my research, and now, I’m way pooped.  Tonight is a WWWendy night.  Hump Day Hugs to all!<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cHere we go again,\u201d Americans for Tax Fairness executive director Frank Clemente said in a statement<\/a> Tuesday, pointing out that the 2017 GOP tax law was also sold as a \u201cmiddle class tax cut.\u201d <\/p>\n
