Reasons To Smile?

How exciting! The moniker "Benedict Donald" is trending on Twitter. Could it be that our favorite nickname for the most destructive person in American history has finally caught on?

Meanwhile, the mainstream punditheads are catching up to what we've known for some time now: "Republicans in disarray." Between the Supreme Court decision on Dobbs, which has led to massive voter registration among women across the country, and Benedict's resurfacing with his top-secret document scandal, the GOP has seen its fortunes change for the midterms.

This excerpt from The New York Times's political newsletter makes us grin and hack up a bunch of hairballs at the same time.

"What [has] happened is what you might call a vibe shift among what the original insider tipsheet, The Note by ABC, used to call the Gang of 500 — the motley collection of columnists, journalists and other political opinion-makes who haunt the green rooms in Washington and New York and collectively make up the 'conventional wisdom.'

"'We've gone from Republicans will win every single election in the universe' to 'Republicans will not win a single election. The pundits' narrative has shifted overnight.'"

Every single one of these pundits is not only clueless and lazy, but also male, we suspect. In short, they're nobody with the kind of plumbing that would render them without bodily autonomy in a post-Roe world. We cats cannot stand them, and we HISS.
