Coulter and others are quite pissed at Trump, which I posted about in the “[Trump Vetos Omnibus Bill](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20862896&postcount=16)” thread. Here’s a sample: “ I will never sign another bill like this again” Yeah, because you’ll be impeached. > ---

The mouth-breathing commenters over at Breitbart are seriously pissed off at the Vulgarian over the Omnibus bill. Fox’s Tucker Carlson’s bow tie reported that the March was meaningless, because some people who have money gave some of their money to the kids so that they could get to Washington. Clearly, the teenagers should have raised the cash through bake sales and paper routes, th’ spoiled little shits. ---

We have an invisible cat we feed. The food bowl is empty every morning so I assume it’s okay. I’ve never played around with the font sizes before. I don’t have anything to say about Trump except gently caress him. But I wanted to chime in about my invisible kitty. ---

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > does Hawaii have raccoons? The island has a lot of feral cats running around, as well as chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and pigs. It seems like everyone out here has a dog, and we also have mongooses, rats, birds, spiders, and a zillion different bugs, but mostly ants. We started seeing these feral kittens running around and so we started putting food out in the back yard and when we did that we could watch the cat who would come to eat it. But then we moved the food bowl to the front yard and we can’t see who is eating it. It could be the cat, a dog, the myna birds that were the reason for moving it in the first place, or anything really. But I prefer to believe it’s our invisible cat. 😃 ---

No, no. This is just one of those whimsical detours that the thread takes every now and then to preserve the sanity of the participants. Sadly, the clusterfuck has many miles to go before it sleeps.

“President is disappointed that conflicts prevent Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing from joining the president’s special counsel legal team,” Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow says. Trump’s main Mueller-probe lawyer Dowd resigned and even the crazy FoxNews conspiracy theory lawyer diGenova doesn’t want to join his legal team. No lawyer wants to represent an antagonistic client that refuses to listen. Maybe Trump will have to get a public defender or call 1-800-LAWYERS to find representation in the Mueller probe. ---
