This is almost too good to be true. On the other hand, it is Monday morning and we were due.
If we know anything about MAGA voters it is that they don’t much care about the country’s fate, not economically, not internationally, and certainly not in public health. They want to own the libs even if the country is going down in flames, if the libs go down in flames first, they’re happy. And their other demand is that politics must excite them, like a football game. Yes, we understand that the two requirements go hand in hand, if they’re owning the libs, it is amusing.
This morning, John Cornyn has an issue with Joe Biden. President Biden is not entertaining us, or at least not the MAGAs. Despite the fact that we Democrats do not seek entertainment from our leaders, we do find it damned entertaining that Biden is getting under their skin. Cornyn tweeted:
The president is not doing cable news interviews. Tweets from his account are limited and, when they come, unimaginably conventional. The public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer sit down interviews with mainstream outlets and reporters.

Let’s reword a couple of things here. Number one, tweets coming from the account of the president of the United States are presidential, not that slop that Cornyn and the boys found so giggle-worthy under Trump. Biden is not doing many cable interviews. He has been a bit busy and Biden has a way of tripping over his own tongue (not a stutter joke), he has been gaffe-prone throughout his life. Limiting media appearances is fine so long as he’s doing the job. The public comments are not “scripted” so much as presidential. When it comes to the United States president, with the world watching, we need things scripted, again – presidential. Adulthood is back, it’s the new black.
Regardless, is Cornyn not entertained? The electric Twitter machine nearly overheated in response:
Imagine complaining about any of these things. https://t.co/yfttTwcRlA [2]

Shows how unhinged nihilistic #Republicans [4] have become. The accusation is that #Biden [5] is focused on governing rather than Tweeting and hobknobbing with the punditocracy. An accusation that any politician with an ounce of competence would happily plead guilty to. https://t.co/m713qAVM5K [6]

Or, in other words, @JohnCornyn [8], the President is working rather than live tweeting his erratic stream of consciousness thoughts while watching Fox News, or playing golf, like that other guy… https://t.co/XVwErEVfRv [19]

He’s @POTUS [23] not a twittering incompetent seditionist fool like the former guy. He actually DOES his job and is too busy for your BS games. Can’t you do some real work too instead of gossiping? So sad. https://t.co/QnRTrf0D4g [24]

Funny how you never read the unhinged tweets from the previous President and now that there aren’t 5 am rage tweets or talk of ratings of tv shows you wonder what’s going on… sorry but just do your job. https://t.co/pGXWEfxFnb [26]

That feel when, for once, this yahoo uses "the president" to refer to Joe not Donnie and you smile a little. https://t.co/H6BeGqNS4X [28]

You kissed Trump's ass, even after he tried to overthrow our free and fair election and our government. And Trump was impeached twice. Enjoy your minority status. https://t.co/6SZeE6CJui [30]

@JohnCornyn [8] obviously you don’t know what competent leadership looks like and we already know you can’t put it into action either as evidenced by your absence when your state was shutdown by freezing temps and over a hundred of your constituents died So #yousuck [32] https://t.co/dxliOVS8Yb [33]
