"It's All Biden's Fault!"*

Man just started throwing out random words, it's almost as if they have no coherent reasoning for their actions if they're actually challenged! https://t.co/3PaOyRAufc

This is the literal definition of ending the guarantee for Social Security and Medicare https://t.co/ajFk4Gw8zO

"What? We aren't ending it! We're just guaranteeing it from year to year, until we decide otherwise one year!"

I....just...I can't. I just can't even. I need a palate cleanser:

Republicans would rather "own the libs" than do something to protect Social Security & Medicare, do something about gun violence & school shootings, do something about the economy, inflation, & national security."

They can't even define "wokeness."

And I just can't resist tossing this in:

Ted Cruz defends the honor of Fox News pic.twitter.com/hylAAqlHt8

Raw Story has a partial transcript if you can't watch the video. But two points: one, Ms. Sohn makes the point, which Cruz blithely ignores, that the FCC doesn't regulate FoxNews (it's on cable, not public airwaves). Two, her reference to NPR is *chef's kiss* whatever you think of NPR. Because NPR literally is "State sponsored news."

Sweet.

And speaking of sweet; somebody's sweating bullets:

In a 10-page statement released on Tuesday through his campaign website, former President Donald Trump attacked the FBI and Twitter, for supposedly burying evidence that exonerates him in the January 6 investigation — and rehashed a number of false claims he and his allies have made regarding his involvement in the events of that day.

....

"These quotes do, again, fully exonerate me, and should put an end to the National nightmare of weaponized, targeted, and dangerous Witch Hunts and Hoaxes against a certain political Party, and me."

Yeah; good luck with that.

 

*There was a tweet recently of a news report blaming Biden for provoking a fight among the GOP over the question of cancelling Social Security. The framing made me think of that Harry Truman (? IIRC, anyway) statement that he never gave the Republicans hell, he just told the truth and they thought it was hell. Wish I'd kept track of that tweet now.
