"Any suggestion from any Republican that Donald Trump should step aside for the good of their party, the country, or face accountability for his many crimes and sins is met with rabid rhetorical attacks, ex-communication and often death threats," says @chrislhayes. pic.twitter.com/5BzbzHdVur

Listen carefully
The thing I’ve learned about the Beltway media through the years is that their reasons for public spectacles like the one currently eroding Biden is that journalists’ motives are almost always, deep down, personal. Some sense of personal insult or grievance. And if you read their social media statements carefully, one major motivation is, their feelings are hurt that no one told them Biden was brain-dead! (Or however they’ve decided they were wronged)
There were three different breaking news stories yesterday about Dems in Disarray, and how specific Dems were now calling on Biden to leave. The stories were then retracted. Oops!
This morning, there was a “Scoop!” about Biden sitting down in church after the pastor asked everyone to stand. The man has arthritis of the spine, which probably has something to do with it.
Anyway, I was well prepared for this mess, having lived through Bill Clinton’s blowjobs. Many (if not most) of the star reporters on the case were eventually proven wrong. But our major media is never wrong, it simply means they didn’t get the proof yet!
And as you may recall, there was the same outrage demanding that Clinton resign. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? It was only the rising up of the disgusted public that saved his presidency. There’s a lesson in there.
Call your congressperson today and tell them you support Joe.

Comfort is deformity

I didn’t make this up, it’s what one of my therapists told me today. Because this knee is so deformed, I was told to keep it straight — which is REALLY painful. Part of the problem is that I also have a sprained ankle and calf from walking with the height difference. Tra la!
But this is balanced by the fact that one of our wackier Republicans decided to celebrate Trump’s birthday with a resolution to change the name of tidal waters surrounding our shores to the Donald John Trump Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States. I am not making this up.
Florida Rep. Greg Steube previously voted against FEMA hurricane relief and then complained they didn’t get it fast enough. (As Republicans are wont to do.) Bless his heart!
