The Disconnect

 

By Hubie and Bertie

You'd never know it from the mainstream media, but the Republicans are self-destructing. Kevin McCarthy has no control over his GOP caucus in the House, and his MAGA wing members are at each other's throats. And somebody is leaking gossip about Kristi Noem to torpedo her as Benedict Donald's running mate. We haven't even gotten to Lauren Boebert yet.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden just keeps doing his job. Which he loves.

Our advice? Yes, the Republicans are an attractive train wreck. But the press needs to stop being fascinated with GOP performative nonsense, and recognize what Biden-Harris has done (and continues to do). We know that policy is boring, but Democrats are accomplishing things that actually have an impact on people's lives: the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Act, student loan debt cancellations, and more than 13 million jobs added to the economy. And that's just the start.

Problem is, so-called reporters prefer Trump, because he makes them money. It's incredibly disheartening to realize that they don't give a damn about democracy. We cats HISS.
