Yesterday, Joe Biden announced that he’d welcomed a German Shepherd puppy, Commander, into his family.

Of course, to make room for Commander, he had to discharge his dog Major. Some people found that pretty dishonorable on Joe Biden’s part. Perhaps he can make up for that by getting a cat, too.
At today’s press briefing, Jen Psaki was pleased to confirm reports that the Bidens will soon be welcoming a cat into the fold:

How exciting! And it’s just the sort of positive, happy PR that the Biden administration needs right now.
Even though Psaki will deny that that’s what all this is really about:
Jen Psaki denies coordinating the new Biden pet news to distract from his “worst week ever”

Watch:
A reporter asks Jen Psaki if all of the "pet news" from yesterday is an indication that the White House had its "worst week ever." pic.twitter.com/3USbdOxofF

That was an own. It’s always an own when Jen Psaki gets snippy with a reporter.
Honestly we’re not sure what Psaki has to be annoyed about. If we were press secretary for a president who’s as big a disaster as Joe Biden, we’d relish any opportunity to pivot to pets.
Even if we as viewers find it incredibly obnoxious.
The fact that "journalists" COULD get distracted by pet news after the week Biden has had is…disconcerting.

GP The world's burning down as our dotard of a president sits in his bunker eating tapioca and watching Golden Girls reruns and the press corps is asking about Biden's pets.

Maybe we should just make the puppy president and call it a day.
