Remember when GOP raised holy hell over Bill Clinton meeting with AG Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in 2016? Fun times when they pretended that they had basic ethical standards about abuse of power.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton Met Amid Email Investigation
It was a passing encounter on her government plane, but the whiff of impropriety while the Justice Department investigates Hillary Clinton's private email server could set Republicans howling.

Yeah - names (human and cat), address, phone. It all fits on a fairly small charm.

This buys him a news cycle or two. But (1) voters don't rank foreign policy very highly, and (2) prices on almost everything are rising ahead of the holidays.

We collar our cats, though our still-newish kittens don't have them yet. There's always the risk that they'll get out.

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!
A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

Trump was NEVER going to win the Nobel Peace Prize. His chances were as close to zero as you can get. That's not an award to lobby or campaign for and be taken seriously.

The only folks who thought he had a chance were his sycophants.

It wasn't even like the 1993 Series walk-off. This hurts more. But I feel way worse for Orion Kerkering. Not his fault the offense couldn't come through all week save yesterday.
