When the talking heads and Beltway pundits were lauding the COVID relief bill yesterday morning and talking up the newfound power of the Senate's "moderate" caucus (we're looking at you, Morning Schmoes), all we cats could think of was, "Who says Trump is going to sign this?"
And you know, not to brag, but we were right.
Don't get us wrong — we're perfectly happy to have a bloc of Senators who are willing to work with President Joe Biden to get stuff done in 2021. Because we have big stuff to do. What bothers us is short-sightedness. It's not like Benedict Donald hasn't been telling us for the last five years exactly what sort of ratfink he is.
We're also happy to see the Republican Party destroying itself. Problem is, it's very scary at the same time. We're watching the possibility of American families not getting food on the table or the rent paid, over the holidays and beyond. We're watching traitors, war criminals and petty thieves walk free. We're seeing the foundations of democracy, our elections, under assault. Kind of takes an edge off the fun.
And now Benedict Donald has vetoed the defense authorization bill, and has left DC for Mar-a-Trash Heap. Will he ever return? Before, we would have bet "no" — but it's hard to predict now. Maybe, with the Congress poised to override his veto, he'll stay away until January 6, his last-gasp effort to overturn the 2020 election. Or maybe he'll never come back.
Either way, now that Donald Trump has decided to defund the military, we never, ever again want to hear Republicans complain about "defunding the police." We cats HISS.
