Jeff Tiedrich - the press is just openly trolling us now

there’s one very specific thing that Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker loves to tell her readers: just calm the fuck down, people. everything’s going to be hunky-dory.

yeah. my memory may be a little rusty, but I’m pretty sure that we weren’t fine after 2016, no matter who won.

-snip-

hmm. has anyone seen Roe v. Wade lately? because I’m pretty sure it went somewhere. let’s ask any of the miscarrying women currently bleeding out in emergency room parking lots if they’ve seen Roe anywhere these days.

well, Kathleen’s back — and guess what: she’s changed her tune. she’s done a complete one-eighty. her new election-year message for 2024 is both sides suck, and there’s no one to vote for.

She hasn’t had an interesting thought in decades.
