Of all the trivial tragedies of the 2020s, comedy angling for applause rather than laughter tops my list.
I get that it doesn’t really matter but it sure does suck.
Colbert used to be hysterical because he was a satiric take on a conservative. And it was GOOD. Really good. And now he’s...whatever this is.
When we replace our comedians with op-ed writers we all suffer.

@JoeBiden promised us better. We were told - over and over again, in no uncertain terms - that the Biden team was going to turn the coronavirus pandemic around.

Today, they told us that wasn’t true. We’ve got a lot more examples to go. 👇 ImageImage
Over and over again his campaign told us they were ready from the jump to fix things.

Now that @JoeBiden is in office, apparently that’s changed.

How come? ImageImage
This was the message that @JoeBiden delivered throughout the campaign.

This tone sure sounds like quitting to me, Mr. President. ImageImage

Oh and obviously this wasn’t an isolated incident. We had lots of this so we’re turning this into a mini 🧵 ImageImage

🧵Thread🧵

Today we saw the birth & death of a coronavirus news cycle suggesting - contrary to common sense - that the Biden Admin had to “start from scratch” on a vaccine rollout since the Trump Admin had done nothing.

Curious who bought the spin? I’ve got some thoughts👇
@mj_lee broke the story today for @CNN, who has shared it countless times and mentioned it dozens of times on air, citing (you guessed it!) unnamed sources.

Only problem is, Dr. Fauci shot down the claim today at today’s press conference.

Seems he’s got a reason to know. ImageImage
Of course, before the story was rejected outright by the most believable person involved in all this, lots of @CNN’s main voices jumped in about how big of a deal it was. This is what we call expectation setting.

Here we’ve got:

My hot take is that what the last four years has proven is that our democracy isn’t actually fragile and is in fact substantially more sturdy and resilient than most of us thought.
My worries are far more with the social fabric of this country and less with our democracy itself.
I’ll flesh this out as a full piece at some point.

2024 presidential election will be between Catturd, Joe Exotic, and a hologram of Joe Biden that half the country pretends isn’t a hologram.
My Pillow guy will be Catturd’s VP nominee after the Supreme Court rules that the former can’t be kicked off the ballot for being in jail.
Harris will still be the VP and will be the only one allowed to hold the remote that controls the hologram.

Seems legit. (🧵)
Yep definitely no problems with Biden’s approach on this one.
Couldn’t be better.
