Cats have evolved to have their meows sound like a human baby’s cry, the better to manipulate their caretakers. Unless they are nearing 20 years old. If a cat that old wants a little ear rub, he will unleash a scratchy, unmodulated wail like a summoning from the fire lakes of hell.

“Brown liquid.” Really? Anyone can see that it’s excrement if you can’t say he’s shitting on protesting Americans. This from the media org that couldn’t bring itself to call Trump’s lies lies…facilitating his success by soft-pedaling the reality.
President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.
