It's already one of those weeks: People everywhere are making us mad. Here's some of what's getting under our skin.
Looks like John "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" Boehner is making the cable news rounds today. Ugh. The guy was one of the worst Speakers of the House (although at least — we think — not a child molester), and he continues to be lazy and terrible, only calling out Benedict Donald when there's money to be made from it. Here's hoping his stupid book falls into the remainder bin right quick.
One of our favorite local restaurants (where we had every intention of returning once the pandemic allowed) has recently decided to hang a "Blue Lives Matter" flag in its front window. So scratch that place off our list for good.
Why? Because with the Derek Chauvin trial, and now this horrific killing of Daunte Wright, we are so, so tired of seeing these snuff films. We're also tired of not seeing any consequences for cops when they murder, maim, abuse and all-around fatally screw up. Maybe the officer who killed Wright really did mean to draw her taser and not her gun, but she should still be charged with manslaughter. And the other officers should be fired forthwith for bungling the arrest.
Finally, journalists' enabling of the craven knee-benders-to-Trump in the Republican Party continue to irritate. Columnist Jennifer Rubin said it best: "[Reporters] do not grill Republicans on why they still kiss the ring of the man who set off a riot that resulted in multiple deaths and scores of injuries. They do not interrogate them as to how they can denounce violence but celebrate the man who crows about January 6."
But they can definitely ask Jen Psaki if the White House is going to "change its tone" about voter suppression in Georgia. This drives us cats crazy, and we HISS.
