Republicans Hope For The Worst

By Hubie and Bertie

We cats have been in Canada for almost a week — but even so, we received a number of messages from friends about whether we were at the border crossing that closed today due to a flaming car crash.

The answer is nope to everyone — but scratchy kisses for worrying about us. Niagara Falls is very far west of our usual St-Bernard-de-Lacolle crossing, which connects Interstate 87 in eastern New York to Quebec's Route 15. Still and all, the freaky accident at Niagara Falls makes one wonder: What was that all about?

Turns out the FBI has declared it a non-terrorist event. But that didn't stop Republicans and MAGAts from leaping to conclusions. In fact, they seemed to want it to be a terrorist attack, so they could accuse the Biden Administration of fucking up. Sorry, guys.

Ted Cruz, Kari Lake, Jason Chaffetz and numerous other Republicans immediately took to Twitter to declare it Joe Biden's failure to secure the border. Now that it's clearly not, we assume they will not even try to walk it back. As one of our favorite tweeps put it:

"It is so disgusting how, as long as a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans ache for the absolute worst things to befall the nation: economic recession, terrorist attacks, border invasions, stock market crashes, wars, skyrocketing prices — you name it, they’re cheering for it. Gross." We cats agree, and we HISS.
