Sure the country is headed to hell in a hand basket, but at least Democrats can be counted on for comic relief along the way.
As a side note, often the laughter stems from absurd threats and name-calling uttered by people who profess to be in the process of trying to unify this nation and the world.
Just last week Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi addressed yet again the overblown topic of protesters invading the U.S. Capitol.
Pelosi called herself a street fighter, noted she’s pretty tough, and said of the protesters that if they’d met up with her, “They would have had a battle on their hands.”
It is not clear what geriatric Nancy would have done. Maybe she would have hit them on the head with small samples of her favored elitist ice cream, at $11.75 a pint, which equates to $94 a gallon? Sure that ammo would add up, but Pelosi could just have put it on her government expense account.
Or maybe Pelosi would have hurled 55-gallon drums of Botox at the protesters, strangled them with one of ever-present scarfs (the better to hide sagging neck skin) or even thrown a torn up copy of the State of the Union Address in their faces hoping to subdue them with paper cuts.
More likely Pelosi was just happy to have had her security people escort her out of the building and allow her to hurl empty threats and boasts after the fact.
Pelosi seems to be learning at the feet of Joe Biden, although following the lead of a man whose grip on reality is tenuous at best doesn’t seem to be the best strategy.
You might recall Biden, on multiple occasions, saying that when he was a young man, which would be about 100 years ago, he’d have taken Donald Trump out behind the gym and thumped him physically.
That’s brave talk from a guy last seen losing a battle with the steps to Air Force One, suffering a couple of knockdowns in the scuffle. If that had been a sanctioned bout, the referee would have had to have stopped the fight and raised the arm of the steps – metaphorically, of course.
Biden has moved on to calling Russia’s Vladimir Putin a “killer.” Responded Putin: “He who said it, did it.”
And your mother wears Army boots, or some such juvenile retort popular during my childhood.
At the risk of being branded a Russian bot, sympathizer, stooge and propagandist, if Biden actually ever would take a poke at Putin, I’m picking Putin in a first-round knockout.
Now Biden is proposing a summit meeting with Putin. Should that occur, I’m hoping Sleepy Joe’s handlers keep a tight leash on him, lest he lapse mentally and attempt to get physical with Putin.
If that happens, I just pray the cameras would be rolling, to record for posterity Biden wishing he was back tangling with the Air Force One boarding stairs.
No summation of laughable Democrats could be complete without a nod to House member Maxine Waters, of whom a CBSnews.com headline asked in a Feb. 24, 2010, posting, “Is Maxine Waters Really As Dumb As She Seems?”
Waters was back in the spotlight the past week, telling another House member, Jim Jordan, “shut your mouth” during hearings on COVID-19. She then rushed to the friendly confines of CNN to brag “Jim Jordan is a bully and I shut him down.”
Perhaps she can get Biden to take Jordan behind the gym and seal the deal physically. Or not.
