(7,794 posts)Or....could it be that it's a much more train-wrecky, whip-lashy, rubber-necky bit of bad news than the alternatives? What could be worse, you ask? Well, what if people were focused on the Ukraine foreign policy adventure some call, "Not WWIII---so far". You may recall it as the news thing which Joe Biden has prevented from becoming the, for-real, end of the world---so far, in a brilliant display of understanding both the socio-politico-economic ramifications and the basic humanitarian concerns the civilized world is "pee-pee dancing" about. If not that, then what if people were, for just a minute, focused on the 5-alarm fire which isn't happening at the Mexican border because an actual adult occupies the oval office, to spite and despite the fact of a challenged child in Austin. Should someone mention the disastrous trade war we don't have with Canada these days? Or the current reality that China has NOT invaded and is NOT invading Taiwan. American casualties of war in Afghanistan last week....zero. Yep, Joe has a few things to answer for.
Let the cessation of handwringing commence. There is actually little which could save the Democratic congressional majority from the "common knowledge", the "known fact", that "the sitting president's party ALWAYS loses the mid-terms", like the single Rudolf nose-like beacon of conservative over-reach illuminated by destroying Roe v Wade glued securely onto the minds of, at least, 60% of the American electorate. That glue may even adhere unto sometime in November. Oh, and BTW, there's a REAL possibility that a few "heroes of the Neo-confederacy" will be under oath on the Tee Vee next month answering questions about their failed 1/6/21 "Neo-1st Bull Run battle manifest as (same old) Appomattox" and we wouldn't want that to get out to page one, would we? Nope, no need to tune into that when there's sensational enough news playing midst the privacy of America's females, 24/7, from here to eternity, or June. Whichever comes first.
