For Giving Democrats Campaign Fodder With A Stupid Question. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Stand Up And Take A Bow, FOOL!

Some days this stuff just falls in your lap, I swear to God. Earlier today, President Joe Biden took a well deserved, if 18 month delayed victory lap over the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act. Better yet, he used The Bully Pulpit the way it should be used, he reminded everyone in the country that all of the benefits they are about to receive are the exclusive work product of the Democrats, every GOP MOC voted against it. Not bad, less than 90 days before the midterms.

Well, all of this was just too damn much celebratory football spiking for poor Kreepy Kevin McCarthy. To quote the Network movie, He was as mad as hell, and he isn’t going to take it anymore! So he put on a Walmart suit, found a podium, and made a statement.

It was the usual Trump GOP drivel, full of flat out lies and misrepresentations, just to make sure it got on FUX News. OK, fine Kevin, whatever gets you through the night. But then he went off the rails, and channeled his inner Ronald Reagan. Looking directly into the camera, he solemnly intoned, Ask yourself this one question. Are you better off today than you were two years ago? 

Excuse Moi? OK Kevin, you got your question, now here’s mine. Are you out of your fucking mind?!? I know it sounded presidential, but in context it was moronic beyond belief! Just cast your feeble, empty mind back 2 years ago;

• Deaths from Covid-19 were sinking to the highest rate seen since the pandemic broke on our shores
• It literally took weeks just to submit an unemployment claim, much less process it, due to the fact that the state unemployment computers and systems were overwhelmed
• People nationwide were sequestered at home on state government orders, able to leave the house only for vital reasons, and required to be masked at all times outside the house
• All non essential businesses were closed by state orders. bars, theaters, clothing stores, hardware stores, were all closed, and restaurants were either closed and going out of business, or staying open solely with takeout or delivery menus
• People were struggling to pay their rent or mortgage or rent on a reduced income, and the lines for food pantries was literally miles long
• President Traitor Tot was continuing to tour the country holding superspreader Covid rallies, endangering his staff and Secret Service details, and killing former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain
• The stock market was in total freefall. Peoples investment accounts and 401k accounts had already taken a bloodbath, and just when most people needed them most

Really, Kevin? Really? Simple answer. Shit yeah things are better! Are they perfect? No way, but under Biden, the economy has regained every one of the 10 million jobs that were lost under Trump’s pathetic mishandling of the pandemic. The stock market is closing back in on it’s pre-pandemic highs, restoring wealth to millions of Americans. Unemployment is at a 50 year low of 3.5%. Travel is booming, Nevada has the best state economy in the US, and the airlines and hotels have been caught shorthanded in staff. Thanks to Biden’s economic bailout Covid economic policies people have more money in their kick than they did 2 years ago. Things are definitely better!

But even worse, you couldn’t have your temper tantrum without damaging your own party going into the midterms. Regardless of the state or district, the Democratic attack ads literally write themselves. Open with a shot of Kevin McCarthy solemnly intoning, Ask yourself this one question. Are you better off now than you were two years ago? Follow with shots of the national chaos, and then videos of Biden’s accomplishments. Ending with the voiceover, Yes, they are. And if you want them to stay that way, then vote Democratic.

And so, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. For not only being a spoiled brat, but for hurting your own party’s chances in the midterms with your brainless stupidity, Stand up and take a bow, FOOL!
