I go away for one little weekend, to visit K1 at college for Parents Weekend (which happened ALSO to be my Reunion weekend as well, so it was a fun one all around), and all hell breaks loose. Something about pooties and grabbing? My mind is reeling both from the concept that a nominee for the President of the United States would say *and do* the repugnant things he bragged about and also that his political party and following refuses to back away from their support, but there’s nothing more I can say that hasn’t been said far more eloquently — or snarkily — by many people here and on Twitter. You all know me well enough to know that when they go low, I… go to music. So grab something to drink, take those allergy meds if you are catallergic, and join us below the word from our sponsor for a little spin through music pussy/kitty related!
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
- Cat Scratch Fever — Ted Nugent. I can’t in good conscience link to a video of his, so enjoy this cover by bluegrass artists Hayseed Dixie.
- Stray Cat Strut — Stray Cats. I suspect that even though he croons he’s a ladies man, frontman Brian Setzer doesn’t go grabbing them by the <yep, that word>.
- Pussy Liquor — Rob Zombie. Not my usual musical style, but it HAD to be on this list!
- Little Lion Man — Mumford & Sons. “Weep for yourself, my man, You'll never be what is in your heart … Tremble little lion man, You'll never settle any of your scores Your grace is wasted in your face, Your boldness stands alone among the wreck” Oddly appropriate lyrics, don’t you think?
- Cat’s In The Cradle — Harry Chapin. Gotta wonder if this is how Trump’s sons grew up.
- Lick It — 20 Fingers (feat Roula). The same group (featuring Gillette instead of Roula) that brought us the most definitely relevant Short Dick Man.
- Special Secret Song Inside — RHCP “I want to party on your <yes, that word>, baby”. But it doesn’t sound like there was any nonconsensual grabbing involved...
Have a favorite… erm… feline song or two this fine evening? Share in the comments, after the Trio Of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures that we very definitely consent to you grabbing! Thanks go to BeninSC for his excellent formatting! SO glad to have you back after your trip!
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
Note: Especially during this passionate primary season, please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig. (brillig’s disclaimer, but BeninSC did this formatting, brillig blameless!)
From The Marti:
This is so good! Our fondest hopes for The Trump Klan, post-election....
This comment from user Alden is on point! for the Trump/Putin connection issue. (Catskill Julie also highlighted this comment, thereby earning credit for an ‘assist’ with the nomination.)
Here is a Top Comment by ugmo in brainwrap’s diary about the mess the MI Republicans have made of straight ticket voting
I know when I vote I like to push the buttons hard!
Highlighted by ramoynihan:
Is this comment by deminva, on the increasing strangeness of Trump supporters.
Is this comment (also reminiscent of Jonestown) by Bindle, on what may become of the Republican Party after the Trumpocalypse.
For Monday, October 10, 2016, first comments and tip jars excluded. Thank you mik for the mojo magic! For those of you interested in How Top Mojo Works, please see his diary on the subject.
