Nothing But Blue Skies Do We See

By Baxter

It was hard to imagine that our mood could get any better after President Biden's kick-ass State of the Union. We're still on a bit of a high from it. But if we're up, Katie Britt is down, down, down.

Independent journalist Jonathan Katz released a Tik-Tok video exposing a big Britt lie in her already-excoriated State of the Union Republican response: A sex-trafficking victim she linked to Biden's border policies actually was pressed into sexual slavery back when George W. Bush was President. And her ordeal took place in Mexico, not the United States. Even Fox "News" got in her face about it this morning. No doubt about it: Britt has turned herself into a joke — or at the very least, a meme, and she'll never be able to wear that green blouse again.

Here are some other examples of bad behavior that have failed to darken our post-SOTU mood:

GOP Congresswoman and perennial attention seeker Nancy Mace got in a huge cat fight with George Stephanopoulos today when he asked her how she, a rape victim, could support adjudicated molester Benedict Donald. Her overused go-to line: "You're trying to shame me, George!" Interestingly, Mace also didn't hesitate to shame or judge E. Jean Carroll for her own response to being raped (by Donald).

Journalists have acted up, too. After days and weeks of screaming along with the ridiculous Biden-is-too-old-and-can-still-step-down chorus, Ezra Klein has had the gall to write this: "If the Joe Biden who showed up to deliver the State of the Union address last week is the Joe Biden who shows up for the rest of the campaign, you’re not going to have any more of those weak-kneed pundits suggesting he’s not up to running for re-election." Ezra — dude — you know we know, right?

Finally, now that Biden has scuttled the Republicans' wild claims about his feebleness, they're turning to two new, desperate tacks: He must have been on drugs! And he should replace Vice President Harris with Nikki Haley as his running mate! The only thing more ridiculous than that idea — see the photo above, if you don't believe us — is anybody spending any time on it at all. We cats HISS.
