Back when I was doing athletic things there was an occasional dustup between players. And, the player who responded to an attack was usually the one that was penalized. The “attacker” got away with it.
It has been noted that Jen Psaki is the queen of retorts, both factual and snarky. And I agree.
But, isn’t it time to stop playing catch-up all the time (Rhetorical, of course it is). When some Right Wing nutbag spouts of with some BS propaganda, it’s they that get heard. And, like the athlete that responds to their attacker, the response is relegated to the penalty box of unheard fact.
As there seems to be no requirement for telling the truth if you are a Republican political “leader”, what’s so wrong with going on the attack…
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than revitalizing Coach Jones stellar record in the Penn State shower room. Gaetz has taken care of himself for us, once he is deposited in his richly deserved clink-like accommodations. Cruz will roll over if we insult his wife (Proven by history). Has anybody else noticed that McConnell looks a heck of a lot like Montgomery Burns? Mean spirited? Yes. Slimy? Yes. Fun? Yes. When you wrestle with pigs you get muddy... (Thank you Mark Twain. I paraphrase). But, the pig learns who is boss.
