Throwing stones in glass Power Houses


Waking to find that the press hadn't just rolled over and lapped up what he had tweeted about ex-President Hendrix allegedly tapping Bigly Tower, President Bigly was surprised to find that there were a host of 'cats in the know' who were all refuting the unsubstantiated claim.

Several former USofP intelligence officials, including the former deputy national security advisor, and the former director of national intelligence who was incumbent during the period President Bigly says he was tapped, all stated it was fake news. Added to that the FBI director who was instrumental in helping Bigly win the election also denied that the wire-tapping took place, and he had proved himself to be a Bigly cat but obviously wouldn't perjure himself this time.

Doogie, anxious to please his master, urged Congress to investigate by running around in circles in the Squircle Office all the while repeating "please investigate, please investigate, please investigate..."

Calls for evidence have so far been met with a stony silence from the Power House, though Screetch was heard screeching at Doogie to get some alternative facts and quick.

The Power House's deputy press secretary also chimed in mentioning phrases such as "greatest abuse of power" and "huge attack on democracy".

Political commentator Salem Colpurr:

"Steady on there dear, you have heard the saying about those in glass houses haven't you. It just goes to show that you can't believe everything you read on Creitfart or see on Ferret News, oh, actually you can't believe anything."

Meanwhile, Pious was still sulking over his wife's email address being leaked, but based on his poor email security record again the topic of glass houses arises, and perhaps something more secure than an AOL account with the password 1234 is required.

In the United Catdom—currently concerned with becoming a standalone little island in an unfriendly sea of sharks—a former prime minister is rumoured to be pitching for a job in President Bigly's administration—perhaps a sunny little number in the Middle East. After launching a campaign to persuade the UC citizens to rethink their referendum vote it appears that he's decided taking on the role of rat leaving the sinking ship is a better career prospect.

Political commentator Salem Colpurr:

"And as we draw to the close of another Bigly week in a cross between hell and something Salvador Dali would have created, we realise even more than ever how precious life is, and how much closer Purrica, the world, and the doomsday clock are to it ending."
