His formal name is Hex. As @damianaswan.bsky.social said when she named him, a black polydactyl witch-cat should be named Hex.

Since then, Hex has acquired many deednames. His favorite is Boopers, short for Lord High Boopschnooticus, a name he earned with his magic schnoot-boop powers.

Ours too. Most or all of them will be waiting on the stairway as we emerge from the garage. At least one of them sleeps with us at night, and most nights involve all of them except either Cupid or Marigold (who don't really get along with each other) sharing our bed.

Any Democrat president who attempted to utilize the National Guard in this fashion* and who ranted about declaring war on US cities would be dancing the Mussolini two-step by morning.

* Johnson's deployments to Southern cities were enforcing Supreme Court orders and protecting Black citizens.

A good friend of mine is a bouncer. The real ones are trained to DE-escalate situations because violence is a legal liability for the venue.

Yep. The same Republicans who lost their fucking minds over Jade Helm conspiracy nonsense are yee-hawin' and yaa-hooin' about Trump using Texans to invade California.

Had any Democratic president "seriously discussed invoking the Insurrection Act" in order to "pacify" a Republican-dominated state, the impeachment & removal papers would be up for a vote within hours and our media would be howling for that president's head.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Remember how Republicans and their right-wing media attack dogs spent YEARS claiming shooting survivors and the parents of victims were "crisis actors" - and then paid millions of dollars in restitution damages for doing that?

Projection, projection, projection...
