Obstruction


By Sniffles

It looks like Lindsey Graham has been caught red-pawed trying to commit election fraud in Georgia. Which kind of makes you wonder what the heck happened in his South Carolina Senate race, right? Hmmm!

But at least Lady Lindsey's felonious meddling is a distraction from Benedict Donald's temper tantrums (which have sunk us deeply into ennui with their flailing sameness). As one of our favorite tweeps has said, "I was hoping to live long enough simply to see Lindsey Graham shuffled off to oblivion, but the possibility of seeing him arrested, tried, convicted and disbarred is increasingly appealing." Stay tuned, everyone: This story could be dyn-o-mite.

Sadly, though, the Presidential meltdowns are starting to alarm. It's becoming clear that Trump and his merry band of grifters and traitors are perfectly willing to see thousands more Americans die from COVID, as long as they achieve some sort of hobbling (at best) and de-legitimizing (at worst) of Team Biden.

Remember how, after Barack Obama won decisively in 2008, the downhearted Republicans gathered on Inauguration Night and decided what to do? They would refuse to cooperate with anything the new President wanted. It was such a cunning plan that they left their nefarious dinner with spirits lifted. At the time, the country was staggering under the effects of the financial meltdown. But being sore losers was more important to them than, say, passing a stimulus bill and saving the economy.

This time, they're not waiting until January 20: They're trying to kneecap Joe Biden right away. What they need to remember, though, is that Biden was part of that incoming Administration back in 2009 — and his memory is long. Let's hope the media's is, too. If the press calls bullsh*t on the Republicans, they might not be able to play that game so easily this time. That would make us cats PURR.
