I'm sorry....I'm really getting tired of Jonathan Lemire.... [View all]

Yes, yes… I know I don’t have to watch cable TV, or Morning Joe, or do anything, or get up, or go to the bathroom, in fact I don’t have to do anything, but I do choose to do so.

The above captioned individual prefaces every Democratic positive with a litany of “Democrats in disarray“ Sentences, ostensibly as background to his reporting of the (frankly) Democratic win. It is fairly fascinating that he is banking on the sales of his book which is an expose of the undermining of the very underpinnings of democracy itself by the Trump administration and its “fearless” leader, and then pulls this stuff out of his ass every time he is forced to concede that a Democrat has done something right, or that a bill has been passed in the Democratic Congress which will change American lives substantially for the better, or whatever.

I’m going to describe this in terms of his beloved Boston Red Sox: now suppose network coverage at the exact moment of the World Series victory ending decades upon decades of frustration were phrased as the following: A chopper back to the pitcher who underhands to the first baseman and thus, after decades and decades of frustrations including dropped balls, flubbed defensive plays, significant injuries during the pennant drive, bad managerial decisions, trading of players who went on to become All-Stars in Hall of Fame candidates, losing year after year after year after year after year and depressing its fans beyond belief, all of them hoping for just one divine break in the clouds, having watched the mood of a city deteriorate into the depths of depression and sadness over and over and over again, the Red Sox win the World Series. We’ll be back after this word from our sponsor.

This is how Lemire describes every plus for Democrats. To be fair, he should begin every Republican discussion by alluding to Reagan’s dementia while in office, Bush Sr’s Iran-Contra connections, Bush Jr’s AWOL status and fake WMD’s…you get the point.

I wouldn’t be so critical if he didn’t do this every frigging time. Gets on my last nerve in case you hadn’t noticed…

And I’m in a foul mood today besides….🤬🤯😡
