While most folks were in despair in 1931, as The Great Depression deepened, cats were living it up as a result of widespread shorting by felines just before the big crash.
I grew up in San Berdoo, close to Fontana. That awful story is like, Fontana Concentrated Bastard Juice. You know Sons of Anarchy? I watched half an episode and turned it off. At first I was like, a series about San Bernardino heck yeah! Then I was like, *what was I thinking*.
"When’s the last time you have seen, heard or read a story about any of the tens of millions of people who are proudly and enthusiastically supporting Joe Biden in this year’s presidential election?
I’ll give you a second or two to think about that one …
Nothing?
OK, let’s try this: Have you seen, heard or read even ONE story about the tens of millions of people who are proudly supporting Joe Biden in this year’s presidential election?
Still nothing?
Helluva thing isn’t it?
Joe Biden has had to deal with all this dangerous, anti-American insanity, and has done so with grace and honor. He has proven himself to be a good and decent man at a time we have never needed good and decent men more.
He respects America and he respects his office. He respects our Democracy, the longstanding institutions of the United States of America, and has worked in a bipartisan fashion whenever possible to get things done for us. ALL OF US.
Why isn’t this more important?
Hell, why isn’t this the most important thing? Why don’t we discuss this man’s goodness more honestly and openly? Joe Biden is clearly a better man than the lewd, orange, lying ghoul he is running against.
That should matter more than anything, especially right now when the heat on our country has been turned up to full boil by a political party that is swinging hard right toward authoritarianism, and has trouble even saying the word, Democracy.
Why doesn’t corporate media spend more time on this vitally important issue of character?"
I have to wonder how many times PAB's lawyers have filed "motions to dismiss" in all four of his cases. It seems like every day there's at least one new one - and they all get smacked down.
I wrote a stupid response here about RD, and then I received an email from sub stacker Ben Dreyfus, addressing the incident of his Dad... And I instantly felt ashamed for having an opinion when I wasn't there. So I deleted my stupid response, and am posting this. @Ben Dreyfus seems like a righteous guy, and I've never met his father, but of course enjoy his work.
I'm getting old, and one of the pledges I make is to never let the words "kids these days" pass my lips.
And I'm so glad my adult kids are always very ready to call me on my bullshit and tell me to shut up. Everybody needs someone in their lives to do that job.

Martini I love you! As a devoted Anglophile and aficionado of vintage fashion, this "TABS" tickled my soul!
Great job on this one, love it!
Thanks Ziggy! :-)
The names of those cats! “Wendell” OMG!

We thought we were the cat's meow;
In fact, we were but a sneer.

Any that jumped out of the window out of despair over financial ruin still landed on their feet, however.

Thank you for the KITTEHS. Sooooooooo much to love...and Sebastian is certainly a dab paw at hat making.
"Creative differences" made me LOL.
It was "millinery concern" for me!
Yeah that was a bust out laughing moment for me too!
Yes, the emotional support cat sets a new standard in depth of fur - an absolutely necessary consideration -

I was pretty well paid for awhile and I have investments. My stocks have gone up 50% THIS YEAR. Economy is fine.
Funny how that fascist family that 'gave up everything' looks to be doing quite well. I wonder if their cultists recognize the disconnect.

Their client is an idiot and they have to keep him happy.
You'd think there'd be a sanction at some point
Buuuut ... they represent a rich White guy, however stupid and corrupt
I'm sure this has been noted already, but in that first photo, Javanka's absence is telling.

Cool. I just read his post on it
He's always been an a*sehole, to my knowledge
I read the article, and he really sounds like senility might be setting in. or perhaps this is what limitless privilege looks like.
It is appalling that he allowed Spacey to molest his son without defense from his father.
