Bad Luck

By Miss Kubelik

By our reckoning, Joe Biden had a pretty good political week. The media won't say so, because they're hell-bent on gloom and doom for the Democrats (to prove that they're not "liberal"). But Gavin Newsom resoundingly defeated the California recall, which paved the way for an effective strategy for 2022, the world learned (once again) just how bonkers Donald Trump is, and now, the GOP's leading candidate for Governor of New York says he has leukemia.

Maybe it'll make a difference, maybe it won't. Still and all, it's not a headline you want to see if you're a Republican.

As if that weren't enough, the "Justice for J6" rally in Washington today was a total bust.

Now, you might argue that Republicans like Kevin McCarthy are relieved. None of their treasonous firebrands deigned to attend, and only a few hundred people showed up (and the Capitol survived unscathed). But it just goes to show you that these folks are way, way outside the mainstream. The fact that the GOP pretends to clutch them to their bosoms is, in the end, irrelevant.

How long will the Republican Party be able to get by without this contradiction ripping it apart? We don't know, but we hope that next year's midterms will sound the death knell for them. If California was any indication, all Democrats have to do is tie every single member of the GOP to Donald Trump. Benedict Donald will do the rest. That will make us cats PURR.
