Ooh you tried but didn’t even come close. Thanks for playing. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

I submit that anything & everything about Kevin McCarthy is stupid, so Jen was on point 100%, as usual.

I like how she succinctly reminds him that his “bipartisan efforts” are focused on the party memberships for both parties, and that party leaderships are so disjointed that as a result of this fracture, and not trying to solve “bipartisan disagreements in this zip code” and is reaching out to the broader audience beyond DC.
This wonderfully encapsulates how Kevin McCarthy is likely woefully out of touch with his voters.

Every single question from these people isn’t a question at all. They’re all just soundbite setups. And they’re terrible at even that.
So many of them mix issues together. It could just have been, “Does Biden think not meeting with McCarthy projects an air of unity?” But they have to claim false clout with the “tens of millions of people” and including other issues. The one who previously said, “But Donald Trump said…” was perhaps the worst of them.

For the next four years Republicans are going to drone on and on about “unity”, all while opposing every single thing Biden does.
(In fact they’re even making up things to oppose that Biden hasn’t even offered.)

To Republicans, unity, like compromise, just means giving them whatever they want.
Jen should ask them where the unity was on January 6th or when they passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy or denied Merrick Garland a vote or shoved in as many conservative judges as possible.

She doesn’t even have to go that far back.
Also, add basically anything coming from Boebart or Greene.
Among (unfortunately) several others.

Such quality journalism; I’m sure that David Brody is in line for a Pulitzer Prize.

CBN? Surely that’s not the Christian Broadcasting Network in the WH press pool?
Fuck me, it sure as shit is. I feel like an idiot for not knowing that and don’t even want to look up how long they’ve been there.

That was my reaction too. I’m surprised CBN can squeeze in any news between faith healing and flogging colloidal silver Coronavirus cures.

I thought it was CBS and took a second read to realize ya, it’s CBN just fishing for garbage soundbites.

For some reason, I started getting email from those fools.
I immediately set up a filter to send them to spam; I didn’t set the filter to nuke them, b/c I wanted to see the synopsis of the mail before I delete them.
Judging from the headlines, they should be properly referred to as QBN.

In my eyes, Jen Psaki is the Woman of the Year. I cannot get enough of these moments.

Nightmare Scenario: Q-Anon overtakes Christianity as the largest, most opposed religion to Islam, and reigns for over 2,000 years.

Speaking of Merrick Garland, if she really wanted to be harsh, she could have responded that the office of the President doesn’t comment about ongoing criminal investigations, but if a member of the administration does meet with Kevin McCarthy, it will be AG Garland and it will be about the $500k in Russian cash McCarthy was given by Lev Parnas.

Tens of millions of Americans are deeply concerned about this thing that I just made up and that concerns me greatly for at least the next few minutes.

The “They’re coming for our MEAT!” panic has to be one of the top 5 stupidest things yet. I mean, I know it’s just here in Minnesota, but our party is literally called the Democratic Farmer Labor party for gosh sakes.
