We cats were all set to opine on last night's Democratic debate when, suddenly, Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale sat down with Jon Meacham at a resort in Leesburg, Virginia, and — in the words of the former President — "stole the headlines."
Carter: Trump is an illegitimate President because he had Russian help. Mondale: "He's got something deep in him that's detestable." Gosh! Between those smackdowns, another idiotic Trump performance at the G20, the "very fine" Nazi killer in Charlottesville getting life in prison, and Megan Rapinoe's two goals to win this afternoon's quarter-final women's soccer game, Benedict Donald is not having a good day.
It makes sense that Carter, as an expert on election integrity, would stress the seriousness of Russian interference in the 2016 US election. But we were a little surprised that he would make the Trump-is-illegitimate statement when he, Trump, was overseas. (Of course, the Republicans trashed that "politics stops at the water's edge" rule long ago.) Perhaps it was that disgusting display that Trump put on with Putin this morning that sent Jimmy over the edge. We cats aren't sure, but we do know one thing: We call Trump Benedict Donald for a reason. He is a traitor.
We're guessing that Trump himself will be surprised at all this. Carter was the President who told the Clintons that yes, he and Rosalynn would attend the inauguration, and he and Trump apparently have had a phone call or two about foreign policy. And Benedict Donald has never gone after him — although he may, now.
Either way, this Carter-Mondale appearance made us nostalgic and happy. So what if they're in their 90s and walking with canes? They are kicking Donald's ass like nonagenarian Megan Rapinoes. We cats PURR.
UPDATE: Trump got around to firing back (Carter is a "terrible" and "forgotten" President). Reminder that Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize that Benedict Donald so desperately wants.
