Gallows Humor?


By Baxter

If The Daily Beast is to be believed, Jill Biden had some choice words for Kamala Harris after the 2019 Democratic debate in which Harris sharply questioned Joe Biden on racism and busing. OMG! Jill used the F-word! And Joe's sister Valerie Owens went cool on Harris as a possible running mate! Everything is terrible!

Um. Will anyone point out that Biden did indeed pick Harris to be on his ticket, and they're running the country now?

Personally, we cats thought this story didn't sound very Jilly. But even if it is, who cares? Jill is famous for her fierce devotion to, and protection of, her family — her kids, grandkids, and especially, her spouse.

Meanwhile, over at Team Pence... you know them? The folks whom the Bidens so graciously entertained at the Naval Observatory after the 2016 election? Well, Republican Congressman Greg Pence of Indiana just voted against establishing a commission to investigate the insurrection against the government on January 6 — the riot that saw Trumpsters setting up a gallows and chanting, "Hang Mike Pence!"

Wow. Don't tell us what's going on in that family. Is Greg Pence's vote evidence of some sort of twisted sibling rivalry, or just a crude joke? We don't want to know. But we'll take Jill Biden's fearless protectiveness to Pence's nonchalant "Oh, they want to hang my brother?" any day. We cats HISS.
