It\u2019s a busy day, here in the CatBox.  I\u2019m trying to research ways forward in treating my cancer, without much success.  Store to Door is delivering my groceries this afternoon.  As a treat, I\u2019m getting some chocolate syrup, so I can have chocolate milk.  I need to stay up to put them away.    Have a great day, and thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, and kindness.<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Takes<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: Back when he was a regular on Fox News, then-Sheriff David Clarke\u2019s main schtick involved vicious attacks on Black Lives Matter and the progressive movement, all of which led to <\/font>Donald Trump<\/a><\/font> very nearly naming him <\/font>to a top seat<\/a><\/font> in the Department of Home Security.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Clarke, the onetime sheriff of Milwaukee County in Wisconsin, was denied that spot<\/a>, for reasons\u2014mainly related to his propensity to spout conspiracy theories and \u201cconstitutionalist\u201d nonsense<\/a>\u2014that became all too apparent over the weekend, as Clarke (who has over 900,000 followers) took to Twitter<\/a> to denounce measures to limit the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus as \u201cgovernment control\u201d (nefariously manipulated by George Soros) and urging readers to \u201ctake the streets\u201d in defiance of it.<\/p>\n

Twitter later removed several<\/a> of the tweets for violating its terms of service<\/a>, which include a ban on posts urging self-harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cGO INTO THE STREETS FOLKS. Visit bars, restaurants, shopping malls, CHURCHES and demand that your schools re-open. NOW! If government doesn\u2019t stop this foolishness\u2026STAY IN THE STREETS. END GOVERNEMNT CONTROL OVER OUR LIVES. IF NOT NOW, WHEN? THIS IS AN EXPLOITATION OF A CRISIS,\u201d Clarke tweeted on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Perhaps deplorable Republican Trump* supporters, especially Roberts, Thomas, Scalito, Whoresuch, and KavaNazi should follow his admonishment!  RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n
