Utterly brilliant! It wasn't until the John Barron quote that I wasn't sure it was all an extended excerpt from the NYT or The Hill.

this is so good, because it's so true. especially the 'many democrats' mention. joe manchin might have referred to the obvious reluctance of the president to handle any serpents as an example of his all too secular grounding.

Ouch. It really is stunning that Biden can pass a piece of major legislation that 75% of the country approves of, and the reporting and opinion pieces take the angle, “will this hurt him?”

Didn’t Trump have big Rose Garden celebrations every time he managed to sign something without getting ink from his Sharpie all over himself?

This just shows how waterlogged Biden's plans are with the majority of voters. He will drown Dems in the midterms with antics like these.

"McDaniel added, 'His so-called walk doesn't count in any case as he wasn't wearing Temple-approved undergarments so far as we know.'"

Well, now, the fucked upedness of the Republicans in a nutshell. Of course, this precludes a LOL post but there you go.

Two quibbles, tho'.

The characterization of Psaki is a little off and a little negative. She is in fact a perfect press secretary, as good as one can be in that position. Speaks clearly, lies and dissembles for the boss when necessary, very elegantly tells reporter to fuck themselves when incited by obnoxious, stupid and/or gotcha questions. OTOH, I'm a confessed Psaki Pshipper so sure, YMMV.

As for the last line:

Wrong: "“I think one thing is pretty clear,” says John Barron, a hotel executive in Palm Beach, Florida; “Joe Biden can’t swim.”"

Corrected: “I think one thing is pretty clear,” says John Barron, a hotel executive in Palm Beach, Florida; “Sleepy Joe Biden can’t swim.” There; the subtlety removed as it should be.

They elected him to bring down the deficit, cut entitlements, and reach across the aisle.

They elected him to be a real Republican, unlike that loser RINO?

What, "riverine life" would have sounded too New Yorker-y?

That's some awesome satire there. Nicely done!

Ha ha! But let's get scholarly: does Joe's elimination of the heavy Trumpian import duty on Irish and Scotch whiskeys parallel Rabbi Jeshua's stunt at the wedding at Cana?

I too have walked on water. Sure, usually the solid form (ice, snow, sleet), but it was water natheless

"secular grounding" means Biden isn't Catholic enough; but walking on water and turning water into sacramental wine (Harumph, harumphed the Evangelicals) means Biden is too Papist,...er, too Catholic. Pundits are almost all...er, Caucasian, and high-earning, and alumni of 'elitist' educational institutions, therefore...Repugnican. So peculiar no one brings this up on teevee.
