#Peson Isn't the New #Covfefe Because Biden Isn't a Republican

Typos don't matter when Democrats are in power

“Covfefe.” Remember that one? Oh, how the journos loved that one.

The president of the United States made a typo on the internet, and the New York Times was on it:

The New York Times @nytimes

Trump Tweets ‘Covfefe,’ and a Waiting World Supplies the Punchlines

nyti.msWhat’s a ‘Covfefe’? Trump Tweet Unites a Bewildered Nation (Published 2017)The debate over what the president meant effectively consumed Twitter — or at least a certain segment of it.

And WaPo:

wapo.stTrump tweets ‘covfefe,’ inspiring a semi-comedic act of CongressAt 12:06 a.m., Trump tweeted out a confusing nonsense word. Members of Congress responded.

And CNN:

What is covfefe? A late-night tweet by President Trump baffles the internet cnn.it/2qF7fi9

It became a whole genre of “journalism” for years:

Brian Stelter @brianstelter

I brought up Trump's typos and asked the @ReliableSources panel: How much does White House sloppiness matter? Here are the answers snpy.tv/2HRGS2R

Every “news” outlet in the world was obsessed with Trump’s Twitter typos. It was yet another excuse to yell at the guy they hated for defeating Hillary Clinton.

But that was then. Trump is out of office (for now). They got what they wanted, but it’s not turning out the way they’d like. They nominated somebody who’s even older and less cogent than their worst enemy, and America doesn’t like him.

So the journos aren’t piling on after a typo went out on this president’s official Twitter account, as the White House pathetically tried to find some good news in today’s gas prices:

President Biden @POTUS

For American families looking for a little more breathing room, these savings matter.

“Peson”? What’s a “peson”? Is that anything like a person? Is that what you meant, Mr. President? Haw haw haw haw haw!!!

Etc.

Does this matter? No. It’s just a typo. So was “covfefe.” Trump made a typo, and five years later some White House staffer made a typo and nobody caught it. Neither one matters.

But the journos attack Republicans and defend Democrats, always and for any reason, and they don’t care how stupid it makes them look.

Then they wonder why we don’t trust them.

Ladies and gentlemen: Science.

Biden's COVID Response Coordinator discussing Monkeypox: "It's really important that we do not use this moment to propagate homophobic or transphobic messaging."

It’s homophobic to know how monkeypox spreads. It’s racist to know where COVID-19 originated. It’s transphobic to know how chromosomes work. That’s called science. Now shut up, you bigots.

Speaking of our science betters:

Anthony Fauci says if we could do it again, COVID-19 restrictions would be "much, much more stringent"

If Fauci says it, that means it’s science. Are you a scientist? Then keep it to yourself, redneck.

I try not to wish harm on people. I really do try.

An entire generation of Americans remember where they were when John F. Kennedy was shot. And now…

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee @FullFrontalSamB

After 7 seasons, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee will not be returning to TBS this fall. We’re so thankful for our loyal audience, our amazing team, and that we got to annoy the right people every week—that there wasn't wrestling or baseball or a very special episode of Big Bang.

I love how Samantha Bee sneers at pro wrestling, as if her show was any smarter or more interesting.

As Jim Geraghty at NRO points out, all but one of the late-night shows just say the same thing night after night. They’ve all become tiresome scolds, and Samantha Bee was the least pleasant of the lot. Republicans never watched her show, and Democrats had plenty of other places to commiserate about how much their party sucks.

Bye, Bee!

Better Call Saul Semi-Spoiler Review

Goodbye, Slippin’ Jimmy. Shalom, Saul Goodman. Hello, Schemin’ Gene!

And, also, farewell. Without giving too much away, I’m pretty sure this is the last we’ll see of Gene Takavic. He led off the first five seasons, and this episode was his swan song. The writers wrapped up his story beautifully. Gene/Saul/Jimmy concocted one last brilliant, insanely elaborate scam — a scam within a scam, really — and now he’s free. Or at least as free as he can be, living his worst nightmare as an anonymous, friendless schlub with only his memories for comfort.

I couldn’t have predicted any of what just happened in a million years, and it was absolutely perfect. Of course this is how he fixed the problem.

The opening credits indicated that this was the end of Jimmy’s story.¹ And the final shot felt like a goodbye. Jimmy/Saul/Gene went out with neither a bang nor a whimper, but with… well, let’s call it a clash.

So now, it’s time to break bad again. For the first time!

Did you ever see Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, with Gary Oldman and Tim Roth? I predict these last three episodes will do that sort of thing with Kim Wexler and Breaking Bad. We’ll finally learn how she fits into that story, and where she and Jimmy finally landed. There’s no happily ever after in this scenario, but there will be closure.

There damn well better be. It’s been 13 freakin’ years!

Have a great Tuesday. You’ll see me at this same time tomorrow. That’s what I do.

1. SPOILER: With each new season of Better Call Saul, the opening credits have gotten increasingly distorted, like Gene’s VHS tape of Saul Goodman ads that he’s played over and over. As Jimmy’s path has become less and less clear, so have the credits.

Last night, the tape finally snapped:

The Better Call Saul intro for episode 610 ‘Nippy’ 😳

Episode 10 of season 6 was the end of that story. We know what ended up happening to Jimmy, and Kim is no longer in the picture. Now it’s just a matter of sweeping up the pieces of his relationship with her.

These final episodes will be like El Camino, with flashbacks to scenes we didn’t see on Breaking Bad. We’ll learn how Kim factored into Jimmy’s life during that time, and why he never even mentioned her to anybody. It’ll jump around all over the timeline to finish their story, within Walt and Jesse’s story. It will complete the puzzle.

Or, more likely, I’m wrong again. I haven’t made an accurate prediction about this damn show yet!
