It’s a tired day here in the CatBox.\u00a0 I did not sleep well last night, so please pardon my brevity.\u00a0 Tuesday is Flush your Republicans Day.\u00a0 I may have some to flush in a bit, but I may have flushed them all yesterday. Have a fine day! <\/span><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: <\/span>Donald J. Trump said on Monday that his \u201cgreatest regret\u201d as President was his failure to name his three adult children to the United States Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Fox News, Trump said that Ivanka, Eric, and Don, Jr., would be \u201cway better judges\u201d than \u201cthose three clowns\u201d whom he did name.<\/p>\n

\u201cGorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett are the worst people who have ever worked for me,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that includes Scaramucci.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the Supreme Court was deciding whether New York prosecutors could obtain his tax returns, Trump said, \u201cnone of those three boneheads even called to ask me what they should do. No gratitude whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, Andy, he hasn’t gotten the mileage he had expected from Whoresuch, Nazi Kavanookie, and Amy Coney Bullshit. But he was stupid to expect gratitude. What gratitude?!!?\u00a0 After all\u2026, they ARE Republicans! On the other hand, wouldn’t it be funny as hell if he had gotten his rancid spawn confirmed to SCROTUS (Republican anti-Constitutional VD), and they had given prosecutors his tax records?\u00a0 RESIST the Republican Reich<\/strong>!!<\/span><\/p>\n
