Tidbits And Cat Treats: The Lazy Narrative Will Have To Change Edition

By Baxter

After endless weeks of gloomy, doomy Biden-and-Democrat-bashing, The Washington Post led with a headline yesterday that put Team Biden on the cusp of some big legislative wins. And sure enough, here's tonight's news: "Manchin says he has reached deal with Democrats on climate, healthcare."

Hmmm. Grand if true. But maybe we shouldn't be so cynical — look at what else is going on.

Despite the caterwauling of naysayers, the Department of Justice is, indeed, investigating Benedict Donald's actions on January 6. This is something we always felt in our 230 bones, but had no way to prove, since the DOJ doesn't leak about anything.

And as we all know, the Georgia grand jury is going gangbusters in DA Fani Willis's election-fraud case.

Meanwhile, out on the campaign trail, Democratic Senate candidate and current Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania John Fetterman is running a brilliant campaign for Pat Toomey's seat. He has done what the 2012 Obama campaign did so devastatingly to Willard Mitt Romney: define his opponent, early and almost insurmountably. Dr. Oz might be New Jersey's most famous resident right now, and the hijinks keep coming.

One of Oz's most loathsome fellow Republicans, Matt Gaetz, is getting owned, too — by a 19-year-old abortion-rights activist from Texas, whom Gaetz made the mistake of trying to fat shame. Olivia Julianna turned Gaetz's bullying back around on him and proceeded to raise $275,000 in his name for Gen Z for Change's abortion fund. And she's been Twitter-taunting him ever since. "Your hateful comments toward me will quite literally help pay for abortion services. LOL. Get rekt."

And if all that isn't enough, the House is crafting a bill to establish term limits for Supreme Court justices, Trump and Pence are fighting, Raphael Warnock is browbeating Herschel Walker about not debating, and GOP online fundraising has slowed (ours has picked up). We've seen worse political headlines, that's for sure. We cats PURR.
