It\u2019s a busy day here in the CatBox.  WWWendy will be here in about an hour, and this TomCat needs to be de-stunk Big Time.  It\u2019s also the highest Holy Day in the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb, the day of Super Blessing.  I will be keeping Mahomes as my fantasy QB next year and will meditate on a Chiefs win.  However, if they do, Nameless may not stop crowing for months.  Tomorrow please expect no more than a Personal Update.  I\u2019ll be gone all day getting a cardiac stress test at the hospital.  Ellipsoid Orb Hugs to all!<\/font><\/p>\n

From The Daily Beast<\/a>: \u201cHillary Clinton is back in the news\u2014and this time, she\u2019s coming for Bernie [Sanders],\u201d said<\/font> The Daily Show\u2019s Trevor Noah<\/a> Tuesday night.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Yes, in an interview<\/a> with The Hollywood Reporter to promote her upcoming 4-hour Hulu docuseries, which is bowing this week at the Sundance Film Festival, the former secretary of state hit out at the Vermont senator\u2019s \u201cBernie Bro\u201d supporters, wouldn\u2019t commit to backing him or campaigning on his behalf against Trump if he were the Dem nominee (she later said she would<\/a>), and said of Sanders in the doc<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It\u2019s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.\u201d<\/strong>  <\/p>\n

That Hillary Clinton, a career politician and one of the most divisive political figures of our time, accused Bernie Sanders of being a \u201ccareer politician\u201d and unlikable is, well, pretty astonishing\u2014as is the claim that she wouldn\u2019t support him as the nominee over Trump, thereby prioritizing petty jealousies over the fate of the country.  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n

After Obama beat Hillary, she appeared in only eight campaign stops in his support for President. After Hillary beat Bernie, Bernie made almost forty campaign stops supporting her. I am not a Bernie Bro. I support Liz Warren, so I have no dog in this hunt. But Bernie deserves far better. Shut the fuck up, Hillary!   You didn\u2019t even visit the Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, before the election. If you showed them you care about them, instead of assuming you owned their votes, you may well have won in spite of traitor Jill Stein and Russia.  Leave this election to the candidates, who can beat Trump, unlike you.  RESIST!!<\/font><\/p>\n
