Just pulled my threatened bigfoot. It can wait.

You’re a gentleman and a scholar.

Raccoons all have masks, like they evolved to be burglars.

Meowdle McFinger seems more apropo for 2020

Name the cat “Richard”, or “Johnson”

Anne, thank you for the speaking dog, cuz I needed that.
Yutsano
Enjoy your TikTok now! Tomorrow it goes poof along with WeChat. And Dolt45 loses the Chinese immigrant vote.
Benw
Did you know that the main lick on AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie is a palindrome?
‘A’ string: 0 3 0 5 0 3 0 !!

That raccoon scuttles away like Mr. Burns.
MomSense
The nose markings on that fine cat are…most unfortunate.
Sab
That border collie made my week. THANK GOD DOGS CAN’T TALK.
@Yutsano: And the Chinese American vote, and their American relatives, and the Sarah Cooper fans.
guachi
@Yutsano: I have no problem with TikTok being banned (or Huawei, for that matter).

These three links are all great. I couldn’t pick one, although the dog story is awfully good, it’s also a slow build. The black cat with the interesting white blaze on his face is instantly funny.
Raccoons are always funny. He did a good job of scurrying away on his hind feet with a handful of kibble. I like them all.
Sab
@Tom Levenson: I have your book but I am lost in historical fiction at the moment (escapism.) Should I read your book now? I don’t want to be uninformed for the thread when it comes.
Yutsano
@Sab: And da yoots. The ones who use it anyway. Not sure it’s a thing for country boys.
@guachi: I have zero issue with its banning either. I tried it once and found it impossible to do what I wanted so I dropped it. But there’s a shit ton of people who have zero issue giving their information to the Chinese Communist Party voluntarily, so I expect problems tomorrow. Losing WeChat will be much more devastating for Chinese and Indian families, as that’s not only a source of communication but of remittances home as well.
Sab
@guachi: Sarah Cooper fan disagrees.
guachi
@Sab: TikTok is a national security threat. I’ll take national security over seeing a Sarah Cooper video any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Sab
@Yutsano: I am an old old luddite. I never did facebook. I never did myspace. My phone is a flip-phone. I very much hate the president banning stuff by executive order.
Sab
@guachi: Prove it. (Not disagreeing.) Just don’t want it banned by executive order. We have three branches of government. The executive branch is currently ailing.
The Lodger
For the Seuss fans among us, Thing One.
Sab
@Yutsano: Da yoots are stuck at home these days. They need creative outlets. Otherwise they will all run around infecting each other. Do you want that?
LuciaMia
Flip phones are making a comeback! (I always liked them too.)
Sab
@LuciaMia: The new models really suck. Trying to be smartphones (if I had wanted one I’d have bought one) and not good at either. Really complicated. Levels and levels and levels to just find out if I got a message.

@MomSense:
If I had a choice between that cat and a kitler, I’d be conflicted.

The TikTok thing was another shakedown. Apparently it’s been resolved.

So is every line in NRBQ’s “Little Bit Of Bad“.

I’m waiting for “Trump starts a new educational foundation”
prostratedragon
@Yutsano: And the GOP loses present-day kids for at least a generation, if I understand correctly that it was kids on TikTok who helped submarine His Pestilency’s Rushmore rally.
Edit: Or would have done if we didn’t have an extortionist in the White House, according to Cheryl Rofer’s comment.
Sab
That was my GSDs approach to life. ” I love my mom beyond belief, but I myslf am spectacular” And she was. Huge Fierce. Friendly.

@debbie:
“She is not even my real mom.”
HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA
????? ????? ?????
Sab
@debbie: My dog and I share that secret. She has way more friends than me.
Sab
@debbie: That could have been my dog. I love my dogmbut what a jerk she was.
We still have my uncle’s cocker. Named Prince. We want to rename him Prince Philip Underfoot, but he is not having it. So he still answers to Prince and he is still always underfoot.
Also too, shockimg mistype that I deleted. Shocking. What is wrong with me?

That video of the racoon stealing food from the cats should be retitled:

Repeated from dead thread below. Sorta respite…?
O Mighty Balloon Juice Legal Oracle:
There’s an idea I haven’t seen yet (busy weekend, skipped the Thread Of Doom), but a couple of commenters have come close to it.
It depends on retaking the Senate (and keeping the House) and would thus be entirely out of President Biden’s hands, so he wouldn’t be obliged to comment on it.
Kavanaugh almost certainly perjured himself in his nomination hearing and behavior that comes to light in a proper investigation may show evidence of bad character, so why not simply impeach and remove him in January? Likewise, Trump’s nominee will almost certainly lie or omit evidence of wrongdoing in his or her hastily conducted hearing, so pick them off too? 6-3 GOP majority becomes 4-3. If Biden wins, he gets two nominees and, vee-ola, get a 5-4 Democratic majority, and Senator Minority Leader or Private Citizen McConnell can lump it. If Trump wins, revisit the hearings testimonies of Roberts, Alito, Thomas, even Gorsuch, though he seems to have taken the job seriously despite getting Garland’s seat, maybe pick off one or two more. We’re down to a 3-3 deadlock or 3-2 Democratic majority, and a non-negotiable demand for quality, honorable and at least impartial nominees to refill the bench. One of them has to be Garland, if he still wants the job.
No court-packing necessary.
