- The Blame Game
Editorial Note: Posting may be light for the next week or so - one of the Wypoxic boys is coming into town with 9 friends for a week of winter play. And for those of you wondering, no - our house cannot comfortably accommodate 10 30-year olds.
We have an unfinished attic that can be entered via a pull-down ladder in the entrance to our main bedroom. I noticed Mrs. Wypoxic pulling down the ladder the other day and making several trips up into the attic. When I asked her what she was doing, she said she was preparing a bed up there for our son to sleep in while he's here. 😬
Wish us luck 😇😆

Now, on to the blame game and how to respond. I’m with Kevin Kruse on this one:
They spent 2025 making a huge show of how "disruptive" and "transformative" they were being, with sweeping cuts at DOGE, massive changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill, and so much more. Now that the costs are becoming clear, they're pretending they did nothing at all. It's all Biden's fault!

Opponents of this regime (and that is the word to use, not “Administration”. They are truly “administering” nothing; “regime connotes a government that tends to be authoritarian. Words matter!) should seize on the Biden-blaming. Again, use ridicule, derision and /or humor before pivoting. Messaging should be a combination of the following”
“Don’t we teach our kids to take responsibility for their actions? Those who refuse to ever take responsibility should not be responsible for leading our country.”
These jokers cut nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid and Medicare - and screwed rural hospitals - to give a tax cut to the billionaire Epstein Class”
“Look at this guy [JD Vance]. He’s changed his name multiple times. Do you really trust him to take responsibility for screwing the American people?”
Today’s challenge in the comments: try to come up with a simple, easy to understand, message that pushes back on these a**holes for never taking responsibility and always blaming Biden. Winner gets a Reverse Pyromania t-shirt (if Mister Mix ever decides to get t-shirts; if he never prints t-shirts, then the winner gets… nothing other than deep internal satisfaction 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♀️)
