It's a rare day indeed when my Republican congressman, Jason Smith of rural southeastern Missouri, does anything but complain, whine, and be divisive, so it should not be surprising when he chooses to project those failings onto Americans who are actually out trying to get good things accomplished for their country. President Biden's State of the Union speech before congress last Thursday night got Jason wound up good and tight, and this morning, in his weekly email newsletter, Jason lashed out at Biden's dynamic delivery of the constitutionally-mandated annual report to Congress as "the most divisive in history."
I saw a photo of Jason sitting in the House chamber during Biden's speech. He was a couple of seats down from Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican congresswoman and national distraction from Georgia. Congressman Smith showed up in a suit and tie, but Rep. Greene, who obviously wanted the cameras on her, arrived on th House floor in full MAGA regalia and spent much of the evening directing catcalls at the President. One internet meme described her as looking like "a waitress at a KKK Fridays." That's what "divisive" looks like, Jason. I'm surprised you could even hear President Biden over Marge!
But Jason was angry that Biden had attacked Donald Trump in his speech before Congress, and Jason was particularly enraged that Biden had tried to blame problems at the border on Republicans. The border is a Republican issue, a key component in his party's plan to retake the White House and appoint more fascist judges, and the fact that a Democrat would try to steal that issue was just . . . . just . . . . divisive!
(Biden, of course was correct. There was a bi-partisan bill presented to Congress last month, and Donald Trump told GOP members of Congress to let it die because he wanted to campaign on border issues, and Jason and members of the House refused to even take up the measure. So yes, the current dysfunction at the southern US border is a result of Republican neglect on the matter - at the command of Donald Trump.)
Oh, and social security, too. Joe Biden rightfully pointed out that there are Republicans trying to kill that life-saving program for senior citizens. Jason did not like revelation that nary a bit! No siree, Bubba, he did not!
But facts do not matter to people like Jason Smith of rural Missouri. Jason got so danged mad about Joe Biden's State of the Union speech that he went on Fox and Newsmax to whine ad nauseum! Biden should have sounded older, more somber, more sedate, more boring. It's Trump's place to be hurling cheap shots and insults, not Biden's. And the show should have focused on Marjorie Taylor Green. How dare Biden upstage her! How utterly divisive!
Mama mia, there he goes again!
