57. Bad source and headline doesn't match content

Mon Dec 9, 2024, 11:39 AM

Dec 9

Biden and others are doing their jobs—their real jobs. The only one still campaigning is DT, as usual. Self-reflection is necessary and it is obvious that our party is regrouping after a narrow but crucial loss. Taking time to think is not a fault. Not being a blustering jerk is not a fault. And the reporter has no idea what Kamala Harris has been doing, while calling her work mundane. One more thing—saying she went on “vacation to Hawaii” is nothing but snark. Grrrrrr.
